Presentation

     These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Range Resources Corporation 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 1, 2011 and our current report on Form 8-K filed on May 6, 2011. The results of operations for the quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 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 (“SEC”) and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements.

Discontinued Operations

     In February 2011, we entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of our Barnett Shale assets. In April 2011, we completed the sale of most of these assets. We expect to close on the remainder of the sale in the third quarter 2011. We have classified the assets and liabilities of these assets as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with the historic results of these operations as discontinued operations, net of tax, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. See also Note 4 and 5 for more information regarding the sale of our Barnett Shale assets.
