Range Resources Corporation

Unaudited pro forma combined financial information

On June 23, 2004, Range Resources Corporation (the “Company,” “Range,” “we”) closed on the acquisition of the 50% of Great Lakes Energy Partners, L.L.C. (“Great Lakes”) that it did not previously own. On December 10, 2004, the Company closed on the acquisition of PMOG Holdings, Inc. (“Pine Mountain”). The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information shows the pro form effects of the Great Lakes and Pine Mountain acquisitions. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information includes a statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 which assumes the acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2004.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared to assist in your analysis of the financial effects of the acquisitions. The pro forma amounts for the Great Lakes acquisition are based on the historical financial statements of Range and Great Lakes and should be read in conjunction with those historical financial statements and related notes, which were previously filed on Form 8-K/A dated August 17, 2004. The historical Great Lakes amounts presented represent the 50% not previously owned by the Company prior to the acquisition. The pro forma amounts for the Pine Mountain acquisition are also based on historical financial statements of Range and Pine Mountain and should be read in conjunction with those historical financial statements and related notes which were previously filed on Form 8-K/A dated January 27, 2005.

The pro forma information is based on the estimates and assumptions set forth in the notes to such information. It is preliminary and is being furnished solely for information purposes. The pro forma information does not purport to represent what the financial position and the results of operations of the combined company would have actually been had the merger in fact occurred on the date indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial position that may occur in the future.

Range Resources Corporation
Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements

(1) Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited pro forma statement of operations present the pro forma effect of the Great Lakes and Pine Mountain acquisitions. The acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations is presented as though the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2004. The purchase method of accounting requires that the Great Lakes and Pine Mountain assets and liabilities assumed by Range be revalued and recorded at their estimated “fair values”.

(2) Pro forma adjustments related to the Pine Mountain acquisition

         
The calculation of the purchase price allocation is as follows (in thousands):
       
 
Cash paid to sellers
  $ 150,778  
Cash paid for Pine Mountain debt
    57,000  
Cash paid for hedges
    13,351  
Cash paid for transactions costs
    1,006  
 
     
 
  $ 222,135  
 
Plus fair value of liabilities assumed (in thousands):
Current liabilities
  $ 3,193  
Capital lease obligation
    5  
Asset retirement obligation
    489  
Deferred taxes
    84,751  
 
     
 
  $ 310,573  
 
Fair value of Pine Mountain assets (in thousands):
Current assets
  $ 8,039  
Oil and gas properties
    296,091  
Gas transportation assets
    1,045  
Other non-current assets
    5,398  
 
     
 
  $ 310,573  
 

The total purchase price includes $1.0 million of estimated merger costs which include legal, accounting and consulting fees. The purchase also results in the reversal of the Pine Mountain deferred taxes, retained earnings and other comprehensive income. The purchase price is preliminary and is subject to change due to several factors, including (1) changes in the fair values of Pine Mountain’s assets and liabilities as of the effective time of the acquisition and (2) actual acquisition costs incurred. These changes will not be known until after the effective time of the acquisition. However, Range does not believe that the final purchase price allocation will differ materially from the estimated allocation presented herein.

The acquisition was financed with borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility and the issuance of 5.7 million shares of Range common stock at a price of $18.74. The stock transaction included transaction costs of $5.1 million.

F-3


Table of Contents

The unaudited pro forma statement of operations includes the following adjustments:

(a) This adjustment increases interest expense for the effect of additional borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility and the amortization of fees associated with an amended and restated senior credit facility. This adjustment also reflects the write-off of Pine Mountains’ deferred financing costs and related amortization attributed to their prior credit facility.

(b) This adjustment revises Pine Mountain historical deprecation, depletion and amortization expense to reflect the adjustment of Pine Mountains’ assets from historical book value to fair value. For the oil and gas producing properties, pro forma depletion was calculated using the equivalent units-of-production method.

(c) This adjustment recognizes income tax effects of the adjustments to depreciation, depletion and amortization and interest expense at an effective tax rate of approximately 37%.

(3) Pro forma adjustments related to the Great Lakes acquisition

The Company previously owned a 50% interest in Great Lakes and as an investment in an LLC, accounted for its 50% ownership using the proportional consolidated method. Thus, 50% of Great Lakes assets and liabilities and operating results are included in the Company’s historic financial statements.

On June 2, 2004, we agreed to purchase FirstEnergy’s interest in Great Lakes for a cash purchase price of $200.0 million plus an optional cash payment equal to 50% of Great Lakes’ commodity hedge liability (“Optional Hedging Payment”) which was $27.7 million at closing on June 23, 2004. In consideration for the Optional Heding Payment, FirstEnergy reimbursed Great Lakes, as a capital contribution, for 50% of such commodity derivative position and the Company did not assume any commodity derivative liabilities associated with the 50% purchased interest.

The calculation of the total purchase price and allocation of this price to assets and liabilities is shown below (in thousands):

         
 
Cash paid to sellers
  $ 200,000  
Optional hedging payment
    27,720  
Cash paid for transaction costs
    1,204  
 
     
 
  $ 228,924  
 
 
       
Plus fair value of liabilities assumed (in thousands):
Current liabilities
  $ 8,375  
Long-term debt
    70,000  
Asset retirement obligation & other
    17,693  
 
     
 
  $ 324,992  
 
 
       
Fair value of Great Lakes assets (in thousands):
Current assets
  $ 13,437  
Oil and gas properties
    296,260  
Gas transportation assets
    14,429  
Other non-current assets
    866  
 
     
 
  $ 324,992  
 

The total purchase price includes $1.2 million of merger costs which include investment banking expenses, legal and accounting fees and other acquisition related costs.

The acquisition required the consolidation of the Great Lakes Credit Facility into an amended and restated senior credit facility, the issuance of 12.2 million shares of Range common stock at a price of $12.25 and the issuance of $100.0 million of additional 7.375% senior subordinated notes. The stock transaction included transaction costs of $7.5 million and the issuance of 7.375% senior subordinated notes included transaction expenses of $3.0 million at a discount of $1.9 million. Fees for the amended and restated senior credit facility were $1.0 million.

F-5


Table of Contents

The unaudited pro forma statement of operations include the following adjustments:

(d) This adjustment decreases interest expense for the effect of lower borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility and amortization of fees associated with an amended and restated senior credit facility.

(e) This adjustment reflects the decrease in amortization due to the write-offs of 50% of Great Lakes’ deferred financing costs attributed to FirstEnergy’s share of the Great Lakes Credit Facility.

(f) This adjustment increases interest expense for the effect of issuance of an additional $100 million of 7.375% senior subordinated notes and the amortization of the associated discount and estimated issuance costs.

(g) This adjustment revises the Great Lakes historical depreciation, depletion and amortization expense to reflect the adjustment of Great Lakes assets from historical book value in the purchase price allocation. For the oil and gas producing properties, pro forma depletion was calculated using the equivalent units-of-production method.

(h) This adjustment recognizes income tax effects of the adjustments to depreciation, depletion and amortization and interest expense at the effective tax rate of approximately 37%. This adjustment also recognizes tax expense for Great Lakes’ 50% income prior to the acquisition. Great Lakes did not recognize income taxes as a limited liability corporation.
