REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS To the Administrative Committee Range Resources Corporation 401(k) Plan We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Range Resources Corporation 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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, based on our audits, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit was conducted for the purposes of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 2001 is presented for the purposes 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 ("ERISA"). This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. 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. /s/ Whitley Penn Fort Worth, Texas June 12, 2002 1

RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION 401(k) PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN PLAN DESCRIPTION The following description of the Range Resources Corporation 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. The Plan is sponsored by Range Resources Corporation (the "Company"). Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. GENERAL The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering employees of the Company who are eighteen years of age or older. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Effective August 25, 1998 the Plan changed its name from Lomak Petroleum, Inc. 401(k) Plan and Trust to Range Resources Corporation 401(k) Plan. The Plan was last restated January 1, 2001, when the Plan adopted the prototype plan provided by CPI Qualified Plan Consultants as a substitution and amendment of an existing retirement plan originally established January 1, 1989. CONTRIBUTIONS Participants may contribute up to 15% of pre-tax annual compensation, as defined by the Plan. Contributions are subject to limitations on annual additions and other limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code as defined in the Plan Agreement. Integrated Contributions are equal to 5.70% of each active participant's eligible compensation in excess of the social security taxable wage base in 2001 and 2000. Participants must be employed on the last day of the plan year, and complete 1,000 hours of service during the plan year to be eligible to receive profit sharing contributions. Each year the Board of Directors determines the percentage of employee salaries that the Company will contribute. In 2001 and 2000, the Company contributed 6% of employees' salaries in the form of Company stock. 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 2001 or 2000. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS Each participant's account is credited with the participant's elective contribution, employer contribution(s), and earnings thereon. 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. 4

RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION 401(k) PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN - CONTINUED VESTING Participants are immediately fully vested in their elective contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company contribution portion of accounts plus actual earnings thereon is as follows:

A year of service for vesting purposes is defined as a period in which a participant completes at least 1,000 hours of service. LOANS Participants may borrow from their fund accounts up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan terms range from one to five years or, in the case of a loan to acquire or construct the primary residence of a participant, a period not to exceed a repayment period used by commercial lenders for similar loans. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at the prime rate plus 2%, as defined by the Participant Loan Program. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions. BENEFIT PAYMENTS Participants withdrawing during the year for reasons of service or disability, retirement, death, or termination are entitled to their vested account balance. Benefits are distributed in the form of rollovers, lump-sums, installment payments, or through the purchase of an annuity contract. If withdrawing participants are not entitled to their entire account balance, the amounts not received are forfeited and reallocated to the remaining participants once it is assured that a break in service was incurred by the withdrawing participant. Disbursements for benefits are recorded when paid. FORFEITURES Forfeited balances of terminated participants' non-vested accounts are reallocated to the account balances of the remaining participants. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, forfeited amounts approximated $13,300 and $5,700, respectively, and had not been allocated. 5

RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION 401(k) PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN - CONTINUED ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES The Plan or Plan Sponsor pays administrative expenses of the Plan. During 2001 and 2000, the Plan Sponsor paid approximately $12,000 and $19,600 of Plan expenses on behalf of the Plan, respectively. B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The financial statements of the Plan are presented on the accrual basis of accounting. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America, 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. 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. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Net realized gain or loss on investments is the difference between the proceeds received upon the sale of investments and the market value of 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. These investments are subject to market or credit risks customarily associated with equity investments. CONTRIBUTIONS Contributions from the participants and the employer are accrued in the period in which they are deducted in accordance with salary deferral agreements and as they become obligations of the Company, as determined by the Plan's administrator. 6

TAX STATUS The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") issued its latest determination letter on March 2, 1995, which stated that the Plan and underlying trust qualify under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and therefore are exempt from Federal income taxes.

PLAN TERMINATION Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right to terminate the Plan at any time, subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of such termination of the Plan, participants would become fully vested and the net assets of the Plan would be distributed among the participants in accordance with ERISA. H. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Effective January 1, 2002, the Plan was amended and restated ("Plan Amendment") and the definition of compensation as it relates to the Plan was changed. The definition of compensation will be modified to exclude all bonuses and amounts taxed to employees in connection with purchases of discounted stocks. The Plan was amended to exclude temporary employees as eligible employees to the Plan. The Plan was amended to increase participant contributions to 50% of pre-tax annual compensation, as defined by the Plan. In 1998, Lomak Petroleum, Inc acquired Domain Energy Corporation ("Domain") via merger and changed the resulting company's name to Range Resources Corporation. The Plan was amended to allow Domain employees to be eligible for the Plan, and the Range Energy Ventures Corporation 401(k) Plan ("Domain Plan") assets were frozen. Subsequent to the Plan's year-end, the Company will merge Domain Plan assets into the Plan. On March 14, 2002, Domain received a favorable letter of determination relating to Domain Plan's tax qualification status prior to merging the Domain Plan with the Plan. 9
