NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(A)  Nature of Operations

In April 2000, ONEOK, Inc. acquired a number of entities and assets from Kinder
Morgan, Inc. consisting of the following:  (1) KN Processing, Inc., principally
representing the operatorship of the Bushton natural gas processing facility in
Ellsworth County, Kansas, which facility is subject to operating leases (see
Note 8), (2) American Oil and Gas Corporation and Subsidiaries, entities which
conduct natural gas processing, natural gas marketing and intrastate pipeline
operations in Oklahoma and Texas, (3) certain Hugoton Basin natural gas
gathering assets in Kansas and Oklahoma, (4) the Scott City natural gas
processing facility in Scott County, Kansas and (4) Palo Duro Pipeline Company
and MidCon Gas Products Corp., former affiliates of MidCon Corp. Collectively,
these operations are referred to herein as "the Company".


(B)  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts and
transactions of the Company. Transactions and balances with affiliates of Kinder
Morgan, Inc. (the owner of these entities and assets until their acquisition by
ONEOK) have not been eliminated, but have been separately identified.  The
residual representing the difference between the identifiable assets and
liabilities as of December 31, 1999 constitutes the former owner's investment in
these operations and has been presented as "Owner's Equity" in the accompanying
Combined Balance Sheet (see Note 3).  Transactions and balances between the
businesses included in these financial statements have been eliminated.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions.
These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses.  Actual results could differ from
these estimates.

2.   Acquisition

AOG Gas Transmission, LP, a subsidiary of American Oil & Gas Corporation, paid
$59.8 million on March 3, 2000 to terminate an operating lease on certain
intrastate transmission assets in connection with the sale of these assets to
ONEOK.


(C)  Revenue Recognition Policies

Revenues are recognized as services are rendered or goods are delivered


(D)  Restricted Deposits

Restricted Deposits consist of monies on deposit with brokers that are
restricted to meet exchange or trading requirements (see Note 7).

(E)  Inventories

          Materials and Supplies                          8,741
</TABLE>

Inventories are accounted for using the average cost method. All inventories
held for resale are valued at the lower of cost or market
<PAGE>

(F)  Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost which, for
constructed plant, includes indirect costs such as payroll taxes, fringe
benefits, administrative and general costs. Expenditures that increase
capacities, improve efficiencies or extend useful lives are capitalized. Routine
maintenance, repairs and renewal costs are expensed as incurred.

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, the Company
reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that such carrying values may not be recoverable. As
yet, no asset or group of assets has been identified for which the sum of
expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less
than the carrying amount of the asset(s) and, accordingly, no impairment losses
have been recorded. However, currently unforeseen events and changes in
circumstances could require the recognition of impairment losses at some future
date.


(G)  Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation is computed based on the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of assets. The range of estimated useful lives of assets used in
depreciating assets are as follows:

             Other                                 3 - 40
</TABLE>

(H)  Cash Flow Information

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. "Other, Net," presented
as a component of "Net Cash Flows From Operating Activities" in the accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows includes non-cash charges and credits to
income. The Company made no cash payments for income taxes, which are paid at
the Kinder Morgan, Inc. level (see Note 6), or interest (see Note 3).


(I)  Accounts Receivable

The caption "Accounts Receivable" in the accompanying Combined Balance Sheet is
presented net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $10.7 million at
December 31, 1999.


2.   Accounts Receivable Sales Facility

In September 1999, certain affiliates of Kinder Morgan, including the Company,
entered into a five-year agreement to sell certain of their eligible accounts
receivable, on a revolving basis, to K N Receivables Corporation, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Kinder Morgan. K N Receivables was formed prior to the execution
of that receivables agreement for the purpose of buying and selling accounts
receivable and has been determined to be bankruptcy remote. Also in September
1999, K N Receivables entered into a five-year agreement with a financial
institution whereby K N Receivables could sell, on a revolving basis, an
undivided percentage ownership interest in certain eligible accounts receivable,
as defined, up to a maximum of $150 million. This transaction was accounted for
as a sale of receivables in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfer and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishment of Liabilities," in Kinder Morgan's financial statements. The
Company's accompanying Combined Balance Sheet reflects the portion of
receivables transferred to K N Receivables as a reduction of trade receivables,
with an offsetting increase in "Receivable for Trade Receivables Sold". Cash
flows associated with this program are included with "Net (Increase)
<PAGE>

Decrease in Receivables" under "Net Cash Flow from Operating Activities" in the
accompanying Combined Statement of Cash Flows. In February 2000, Kinder Morgan
reduced its participation in this receivables sale program. In April 2000,
Kinder Morgan repaid the residual balance and, with certain wholly owned
subsidiaries, including the Company, terminated the agreement.


3.   Associated Company Transactions

Kinder Morgan employs a centralized cash management process. Receivables and
payables resulting from transactions with Kinder Morgan, Inc. and its affiliates
are not settled in cash, but rather, are combined in a net balance representing
inter-corporate investments which is reflected in the accompanying Combined
Balance Sheet as "Owner's Equity". Accordingly, the Combined Income Statement
does not include any interest expense allocation.

Kinder Morgan was the employer of the employees who operated the Company's
assets. Accordingly, Kinder Morgan billed the Company for the labor of these
employees based on actual time worked for the benefit of the Company. The labor
charged includes all employee benefits provided to these employees, the
accounting for which benefits plans is done at the Kinder Morgan, Inc. level.

Principal transactions with affiliates of Kinder Morgan, Inc. were as follows
for the year ended December 31, 1999.

4.   Environmental and Legal Matters

(A)  Environmental Matters

Certain of the Company's properties were owned by Cabot Corporation prior to
their acquisition by Kinder Morgan, Inc., and certain of these properties had
associated environmental liabilities. Kinder Morgan was indemnified by Cabot for
certain of these liabilities and issues arose with respect to Cabot's
indemnification obligations. These issues were settled between Cabot and Kinder
Morgan through binding arbitration, with the result that past obligations were
settled and future obligations were split between the parties. In conjunction
with ONEOK's acquisition of the Company's properties, Kinder Morgan agreed to
indemnify ONEOK against environmental liabilities arising from any acts,
omissions, events, conditions or circumstances occurring on or before the
closing date of the acquisition, including liabilities associated with the
properties previously owned by Cabot. Taking into account the creditworthiness
of the indemnifying party, the Company does not expect to incur any material
costs associated with any environmental liabilities existing at the date of the
sale by Kinder Morgan to ONEOK.

On June 17, 1999, the Environmental Protection Agency published a final rule
creating a standard to limit emissions of hazardous air pollutants from oil and
natural gas production as well as from natural gas transmission and storage
facilities. The standard requires that the affected facilities reduce emissions
of hazardous air pollutants. This standard will require the Company to achieve
this reduction either by process modifications or by installing new emissions
control technology. The standard will affect the Company and its competitors in
a like manner. The rule allows most affected sources three years from the
publication date to come into compliance. The Company is conducting a detailed
analysis of the final rule to determine its overall effect. While additional
capital costs are likely to result from this rule, the Company believes that the
rule will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, cash
flows, financial position or results of operations.
<PAGE>

The Company does not believe that compliance with federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations will have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, cash flows, financial position or results of operations. In
addition, the clean-up programs in which the Company is engaged are not expected
to interrupt or diminish the Company's operational ability to gather or
transport natural gas. However, there can be no assurances that future events,
such as changes in existing laws, the promulgation of new laws, or the
development of new facts or conditions will not cause the Company to incur
significant costs.


(B)  Litigation Matters

Chesapeake Panhandle Limited Partnership and Chesapeake Marketing, Inc. v.
MidCon Gas Products Corp., et al., Case No. CIV-00-00397-L. On February 25,
2000, Chesapeake filed a complaint against MidCon Gas Products Corp. and other
defendants for declaratory judgment alleging that a July 1, 1997 Gas Purchase
Agreement was invalid and unenforceable. On April 5, 2000, Chesapeake filed its
First Amended Complaint adding claims for breach of contract. MidCon Gas
Products Corp. filed its answer April 17, 2000. Discovery in the case is
ongoing.

J.M. Huber Corporation v. MidCon Gas Products Corp., et al., Case No. 2000-
21043. On April 25, 2000, J.M. Huber filed a complaint against MidCon Gas
Products Corp. and other defendants in the District Court of Harris County,
Texas, alleging an historical gas purchase contract had expired. MidCon's answer
is due on July 5, 2000.

The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to all lawsuits and legal
proceedings in which it is a defendant and will vigorously defend against them.

6.   Income Taxes

During 1999, the Company was included in the consolidated federal and state tax
returns of Kinder Morgan, Inc. The following tax information represents an
allocation of Kinder Morgan's consolidated tax amounts to the Company utilizing
the "stand alone" method. Under this method, tax attributes which would have
been recorded by the Company had it been a separate filing entity are
recognized, whether or not such attributes were recognizable in Kinder Morgan's
consolidated returns. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting and tax purposes. Changes in tax legislation are included in
the relevant computations in the period in which such changes are effective.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance for the amount of any
tax benefit not expected to be realized.

7.   Risk Management

The Company uses energy financial instruments to reduce its risk of price
changes in the spot and fixed price natural gas and natural gas liquids markets
as discussed following. The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the
event of nonperformance by counterparties to these financial instruments but,
given their existing credit ratings, does not expect any counterparties to fail
to meet their obligations.

The fair value of these risk management instruments reflects the estimated
amounts that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the
reporting date, thereby taking into account the current unrealized gains or
losses on open contracts. Market quotes are available for substantially all
financial instruments used by the Company.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (the "Statement").
The Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that
every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded
in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
liability measured at its fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the
derivatives fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge
accounting criteria are met. If the derivatives meet these criteria, the
Statement allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on
the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company formally
designate a derivative as a hedge and document and assess the effectiveness of
derivatives associated with transactions that receive hedge accounting.

The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The
Statement cannot be applied retroactively. The Statement must be applied to (i)
derivative instruments and (ii) certain derivative instruments embedded in
hybrid contracts that were issued, acquired, or substantively modified after
December 31, 1997 (and, at the Company's election, before January 1, 1998). The
Company has not yet quantified the impacts of adopting the Statement on its
financial position or results of operations and has not determined the timing of
or method of adoption of the Statement.

In December 1998, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF 98-10,
Accounting for Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities. This consensus
establishes accounting for energy trading activities prior to the adoption of
the Statement. EITF 98-10 requires that energy contracts associated with trading
activities be recorded at fair value on the balance sheet, with the changes in
fair value included in earnings. The effects of initial application of EITF 98-
10 are required to be reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle. Financial statements for periods prior to initial adoption of EITF
98-10 may not be restated. EITF 98-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1998. Given the Company's restrictive policy with respect to
the use of energy derivatives as discussed following, the Company had no
material impact from the application of EITF 98-10 to its operations.

Energy risk management products used by the Company include commodity futures
and options contracts, fixed-price swaps and basis swaps. Pursuant to its
approved policy, the Company engages in these activities only as a hedging
mechanism against price volatility associated with pre-existing or anticipated
physical gas and condensate sales, gas purchases, system use and storage in
order to protect profit margins, and is prohibited from engaging in speculative
trading. Commodity-related activities of the risk management group are monitored
by a Risk Management Committee, which is charged with the review and enforcement
of the risk management policy. Changes in fair value for trading activities are
recognized currently in earnings within the caption "Other, Net" under the
heading "Other Income and (Deductions)" in the Consolidated Statements of
Income. All energy futures, swaps and options are recorded at fair value. Gains
and losses on hedging positions are deferred and recognized as gas purchases
expense in the periods which the underlying physical transactions occur.

Purchases of commodity contracts and over-the-counter swaps and options require
75 percent of the contract amount to be placed in margin accounts. At December
31, 1999, the Company had $10.0 million in such margin accounts, which amounts
are shown as "Restricted Deposits" in the accompanying Combined Balance Sheet.

The differences between the current market value and the original physical
contracts' value, associated with hedging activities, are reflected, depending
on maturity, as deferred charges or credits and other current assets or
liabilities in the accompanying Combined Balance Sheet. These deferrals are
offset by the corresponding value of the underlying
<PAGE>

physical transactions. In the event energy financial instruments do not meet the
criteria for hedge accounting, the deferred gains or losses associated with the
corresponding financial instruments would be included in the results of
operations in the current period. In the event energy financial instruments are
terminated prior to the period of physical delivery of the items being hedged,
the gains or losses on the energy financial instruments at the time of
termination remain deferred until the period of physical delivery unless both
the energy financial instruments and the items being hedged result in a loss. If
this occurs, the loss is recorded immediately.

Following is selected information concerning the Company's risk management
activities:

8.   Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The Company's Bushton natural gas processing facility is subject to operating
leases requiring semi-annual payments averaging $23.1 million per year. Under
the terms of the leases, the Company has the option of terminating the leases
and/or buying the underlying assets at any time after November 2003 and
extending the leases beyond May 2012, the scheduled termination date. In
addition, the Company may purchase the processing facilities upon termination of
the leases. Certain assets of AOG Gas Transmission, LP, a subsidiary of American
Oil & Gas Corporation, were subject to an operating lease which was terminated
during 2000 in conjunction with the sale of these assets to ONEOK. The amounts
shown in the following table for 2000 to 2004 and thereafter include $5.3
million, $5.3 million, $5.3 million, $5.3 million, $5.3 million and $1.3

NOTES TO COMBINED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1.   Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(A)  Nature of Operations

Effective February 29, 2000, ONEOK, Inc. acquired a number of entities and
assets from Kinder Morgan, Inc. consisting of the following: (1) KN Processing,
Inc., principally representing the operatorship of the Bushton natural gas
processing facility in Ellsworth County, Kansas, which facility is subject to
operating leases (see Note 8), (2) American Oil and Gas Corporation and
Subsidiaries, entities which conduct natural gas processing, natural gas
marketing and intrastate pipeline operations in Oklahoma and Texas, (3) certain
Hugoton Basin natural gas gathering assets in Kansas and Oklahoma, (4) the Scott
City natural gas processing facility in Scott County, Kansas and (4) Palo Duro
Pipeline Company and MidCon Gas Products Corp., former affiliates of MidCon
Corp. Collectively, these operations are referred to herein as "the Company".

(B)  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts and
transactions of the Company. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the unaudited interim
periods, consisting of normal recurring accruals except as discussed following,
have been made. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to
conform to the current presentation.

Transactions and balances with affiliates of Kinder Morgan, Inc. (the owner of
these entities and assets until their acquisition by ONEOK) have not been
eliminated, but have been separately identified. The residual representing the
difference between the identifiable assets and liabilities as of each balance
sheet date constitutes the owner's investment in these operations and has been
presented as "Owner's Equity" in the accompanying Combined Balance Sheets.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions.
These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from
these estimates.1

Report of Independent Accountants

To the Board of Directors of ONEOK, Inc.:

In our opinion, the accompanying combined balance sheet and the related combined
statements of operations and of cash flows, present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Businesses Acquired from Kinder Morgan,
Inc. (the "Company") at December 31, 1999, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States, which 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,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.
