                        INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S  REPORT

Board of Directors
Midcoast Energy Resources, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying historical summary of revenue and direct 
operating expenses of the KOCH Hydrocarbon Company - Harmony Gas Processing 
Plant acquired October 7, 1996 for the year ended December 31, 1995.  The 
historical summary is the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on the historical summary based on our 
audit.

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

The accompanying historical summary was prepared for the purpose of complying 
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(for inclusion in the Form 8-K of Midcoast Energy Resources, Inc.) as
described in Note 2 and are not intended to be a complete presentation
of the Harmony Gas Processing Plant revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the historical summary referred to above presents fairly, in 
all material respects, the revenue and direct operating expenses of the
Harmony Gas Processing Plant acquired October 7, 1996 for the year ended 
December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                       Acquisition of KOCH Hydrocarbons Company
                             Harmony Gas Processing Plant

NOTES TO HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF REVENUE AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995 AND THE YEAR ENDED 
DECEMBER 31, 1995.

1.   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying Historical Summary of Revenue and Direct Operating 
Expenses relates to the operations of the Harmony Gas Processing Plant acquired 
by Midcoast Energy Resources, Inc. ("Midcoast") on October 7, 1996 ("Harmony") 
from KOCH Hydrocarbons Company ("KOCH") for cash consideration of $3,638,884, 
subject to certain purchase price adjustments.  All revenues were derived 
from sales to KOCH affiliates with pricing established by prevailing market 
rates and various contractual agreements. Revenues are recorded when the natural
gas products are delivered to the customer and direct operating expenses are 
recorded when the liability is incurred.  Depreciation of the plant has been 
excluded from direct operating expenses in the accompanying historical summary 
because the amounts would not be comparable to those resulting from Midcoasts 
cost basis in the plant. Income taxes have not been included in the accompanying
historical summary because income taxes are not considered direct operating 
expense of the properties.

2.   The Historical Summary presented herein was prepared for the purpose of 
complying with the financial statement requirements of a business acquisition 
to be filed on Form 8-K as promulgated by Regulation S-X Rule 3-05 and 
Rule 1-02 (v) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

In preparing the pro forma consolidated financial information, the Company
made the following adjustments:

(a) To give effect as of June 30, 1996 for the acquisition of the Harmony
Processing Plant and related Gathering System ("Harmony"). It was assumed
that the entire purchase price of $3,638,884 was financed with bank debt to
be repaid on a seven year amortization schedule.

(b) To give effect as of January 1, 1996 for the acquisition of Harmony based 
on actual direct operating revenues and expenses, as well as, adjustments for
depreciation and interest.  Depreciation expense is calculated based on an
estimated useful life of 30 years using the straight-line method.  Interest
expense is calculated based on a 9.25% interest rate with a seven year repayment
schedule.

(c) To give effect as of January 1, 1995 for the acquisition of Harmony based
on actual direct operating revenues and expenses, as well as, adjustments for
depreciation and interest.  Depreciation expense is calculated based on an
estimated useful life of 30 years using the straight-line method.  Interest
expense is calculated based on a 9.25% interest rate with a seven year 
repayment schedule.
