ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANTS CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Range Resources
Corporation (the "Company") approved the dismissal of KPMG LLP ("KPMG") as its
independent auditors on March 26, 2003. The Company notified KPMG of its
dismissal on March 26, 2003 and such dismissal became effective on March 26,
2003. On March 26, 2003, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of Ernst
and Young LLP ("E&Y") as its independent auditors for the year ended December

During the two years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 and the
subsequent interim period through March 26, 2003:
(i) KPMG's reports on the consolidated financial
statements of the Company have not contained an
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and have
not been qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles;
(ii) there were no disagreements between the Company and
KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, auditing
scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not
resolved to KPMG's satisfaction, would have caused
KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement in connection with its reports;
(iii) none of the reportable events described under Item
304(a)(1)
(v) of Regulation S-K occurred; and (iv) the Company did

The Company has provided KPMG with a copy of the foregoing statements

and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") stating whether or not it agrees with
the above statements and if not, stating the respects in which it does not
agree.
