                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



Range Resources Corporation 401(k) Plan
Hartville, Ohio

We have audited the financial statements of RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION 401(K)
PLAN as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and for the years then ended, as listed
in the accompanying index. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements, referred to above, of Range Resources
Corporation 401(k) Plan present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets
available for benefits of Range Resources Corporation Plan as of December 31,
1999 and 1998 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit of the Plan's financial statements was conducted for the purpose of
forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The
supplemental schedule of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31,
1999 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required
part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The
supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

        The following description of the Range Resources Corporation 401(k) Plan
        and Trust provides only general information. Participants should refer
        to the Plan agreement, copies of which are available from the plan
        administrator, for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

        GENERAL:

        The Plan, which began January 1, 1989, is a defined contribution plan
        covering all employees of the Company who have worked one thousand hours
        and are eighteen years of age or older. The Plan is subject to the
        provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
        (ERISA). The Plan was last restated August 25, 1998 to change the name
        from Lomak Petroleum, Inc. 401(k) Plan and Trust to Range Resources
        Corporation 401(k) Plan.

        CONTRIBUTIONS:

        Cash or Deferred Option Contributions 401(k) - Participants may
        contribute up to 15% of pretax annual compensation, as defined in the
        Plan.

        Integrated Contributions - Equal to 5.7% of each active participant's
        eligible compensation in excess of the social security taxable wage
        base.

        Company Discretionary Contribution - Each year, the Board of Directors
        determines the percentage of employees salaries which the Company will
        contribute. In 1999 and 1998, the Company contributed five and a half
        percent and four and a half percent of employee's salaries. The
        contribution was in the form of Company stock.

        Company Discretionary Matching Contribution - At the discretion of the
        Board of Directors, the Company may elect to contribute a matching
        contribution based on the amounts of salary reduction of the
        participants. No matching contribution was made in 1999 or 1998.

        Contributions are subject to limitations on annual additions and other
        limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code as defined in the Plan
        agreement.

        PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS:

        Each participant account is credited with the participant's elective
        contribution, employer contributions, earnings thereon, and is charged
        with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on
        participant earnings or account balances as defined in the Plan. The
        benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be
        provided from the participant's vested account.

1.      DESCRIPTION OF PLAN, CONTINUED

        TERMINATION:

        Although it has not expressed any intention of doing so, the Company has
        the right to terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of
        ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, all participants will become
        fully vested in their accounts and receive full distribution.

        ADMINISTRATIVE FEES:

        All administrative fees were paid by the Plan.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        INVESTMENTS:

        Investments are valued at fair market value. The Common Stock of Range
        Resources Corporation 401(k) Plan is valued at the last reported sales
        price on the last business day of the plan year.

        The net realized gain or loss on investments is the difference between
        the proceeds received upon the sale of investments and the market value
        of the investments as of the end of the preceding year or the average
        cost of those assets if acquired during the current year. Unrealized
        appreciation or depreciation of investments represents the increase or
        decrease in market value during the year.

        USE OF ESTIMATES:

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
        accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
        assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
        and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
        financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
        during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
        estimates.

3.      INVESTMENTS

        Participants may direct their 401(k) assets to be invested in any
        combination of investment funds and Range Resources Corporation stock.
        Descriptions of these funds are as follows:

        RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION

        No more than 50% of employees' contributions may be invested in Range
        Resources Corporation common stock.

4.      TAX STATUS

        The Plan is a prototype which obtained its latest determination letter
        on June 29, 1993, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the

5.      TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES IN INTEREST

        Lynch, the Trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these
        transactions qualify as part-in-interest. In addition, participants have
        the option to invest in Range Resources Corporation common stock.

        In April, 2000, $4,185,692 of funds and $496,090 of Range Resources
