NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       General

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of
the results for the unaudited interim periods have been made. These adjustments
consist only of normal recurring accruals.

2.       Merger

On July 13, 1994, pursuant to the Agreement of Merger dated March 24, 1994,
among K N, KNE Acquisition Corporation and American Oil and Gas Corporation
("AOG"), KNE Acquisition Corporation was merged with and into AOG.  KNE
Acquisition Corporation had been formed by K N in February 1994, as its
wholly-owned subsidiary, for the purpose of participating in the merger.

As a result of the merger, each outstanding share of common stock of AOG was
converted into 0.47 of a share of common stock of K N and the right to receive
in cash the value of any fractional share of K N.  In connection with the
merger, all the outstanding shares of AOG common stock were converted into
approximately 12.2 million shares of K N stock, and the authorized number of
shares of K N common stock was increased to 50 million shares.  

The merger will be accounted for as a pooling of interests.  Merger expenses 
are expected to be approximately $20 million.  These expenses, which primarily 
consist of financial advisory fees, outside legal, accounting and environmental
professional fees and one-time costs of consolidating certain operational and
administrative functions of the companies, will be expensed in 1994.

The combined pro forma revenues, net income, earnings per share and number of
shares used in computing earnings per common share, assuming the merger had
occurred on January 1, 1994, are as follows (in thousands except per share
amounts):

3.       Regulatory Matters

(A)      Rate Matters

In March 1994, Rocky Mountain Natural Gas Division of K N Energy, Inc.
("RMNGD") filed an application for a "make whole" rate increase of $2.5 million
on an annual basis with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC").  The
CPUC approved interim rate relief of $1.5 million which became effective,
subject to refund, on April 2, 1994, pending further hearings. Settlement has
been reached with all parties on all issues and was filed with the
Administrative Law Judge on July 22, 1994.  RMNGD will receive a $2.0 million
annual rate increase under terms of the settlement; $1.5 million effective
April 2, 1994, and the remainder to become effective upon final CPUC approval
which is expected in August.

(B)      Restructuring and Reorganization

As reported in the Company's 1993 Annual Report on Form 10-K, in April 1992,
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") issued Order No. 636 ("Order
636") which requires an unbundling of services offered by interstate natural
gas pipelines.  K N implemented Order 636 restructured services on October 1,
1993.  K N also requested, and subsequently received FERC approval to transfer
substantially all of its gathering and processing facilities to K N Gas
Gathering, Inc., a nonjurisdictional wholly-owned subsidiary of K N.  The
transfer was effective January 1, 1994.

(C)      Buffalo Wallow Market Center

On July 25, 1994, K N Interstate Gas Transmission Co., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of K N, filed with the FERC to implement market center services on
the Buffalo Wallow system located in Texas and Oklahoma.  The filing requests
authority for, among other things, aggregation pooling service and market-based
rates.  An October 1, 1994 effective date was proposed.

4.       Acquisition

On February 1, 1994, the Company's gas and oil development subsidiaries, K N
Production Company and GASCO, Inc., acquired gas reserves and production
properties located near existing K N operations in western Colorado and in the
Moxa Arch region of southwestern Wyoming for a total purchase price of
approximately $30 million.  The acquired properties have total net reserves of
approximately 50 billion cubic feet equivalent of natural gas.  On April 20,
1994, the Company entered into a letter of intent to sell a 50 percent interest
in substantially all the acquired properties.  It is expected this transaction
will close in the third quarter.  No gain or loss will be recognized on the
sale.

5.       Deferred Revenues

In January 1994, contract demand receivables with a face amount of $41 million
were sold to a financial institution.  No gain or loss was recorded on the
sale.  The Company is deferring revenues from certain

gas sales agreements associated with these receivables pending final
disposition of related gas purchase contracts.

6.       Postemployment Benefits

In November 1992, FASB issued SFAS 112, which establishes standards of
financial accounting and reporting for the estimated cost of benefits provided
by an employer to former or inactive employees after employment but before
retirement.  The Company adopted SFAS 112 on January 1, 1994.  Implementation
of SFAS 112 had no material effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

See Notes 5, 8 and 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on Pages
41-43, 46, 47 and 51 of the 1993 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  There have been
no material changes to these disclosures except as disclosed in Notes 2 and 4,
above.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

MERGER

On July 13, 1994, K N completed the merger with American Oil and Gas
Corporation ("AOG").  The merger was structured as a tax-free pooling of
interests.  Pursuant to the merger, all outstanding AOG shares were converted
into approximately 12.2 million shares of K N common stock.  The merger
combines two complementary companies that are competitively positioned to meet
the needs of customers in the evolving natural gas industry.

Since the merger was completed after the end of the second quarter, only K N
stand-alone financial results are included in this report.  Pro forma financial
statements of the combined companies are included in the Company's supplemental
report on Form 8-K, dated July 13, 1994.  The effects of the merger on 1994 and
1993 second quarter and first six months' operating revenues, net income and 
earnings per share are shown in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS

Second quarter 1994 net income was $2.6 million, or $0.15 per common share
after payment of preferred dividends, compared with a second quarter 1993 net
loss of $1.0 million, or $0.08 per common share.  Second quarter earnings
reflected the continued positive 1994 results from nonregulated gas gathering
and processing operations.  The 1994 second quarter's earnings were also 
favorably impacted by the change in timing of revenues resulting from 
implementation of FERC Order 636 on October 1, 1993.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Discussion of operating results by business segment and consolidated other
income and (deductions) and income taxes follows.  Segment operating revenues,
gas purchases, operations and maintenance expenses, and volumetric data cited
below are before intersegment eliminations (dollars in millions).

Due to the 1994 effects of FERC Order 636 implementation (the change in rate
methodology and a reduction in the Company's merchant role to former wholesale
customers) and the April 1993 acquisition of the Wattenberg gathering and
transmission system, there is limited comparability between 1994 and 1993
revenue and expense line items.

Approximately one-half of the second quarter 1994's improved operating income
over 1993 is attributable to the change in timing of revenues due to FERC Order
636's straight fixed-variable rate design.  This rate methodology reduces the
seasonal weather effects on revenues and earnings.  The remaining increase in
second quarter 1994 earnings is due to improved operating performance, largely
reflecting enhanced throughput volumes of the nonregulated gathering and
processing operations.

Operating income for the first six months of 1994 was adversely affected by the
FERC Order 636's rate design and milder weather than 1993.  However, these
factors were substantially offset by improved gathering and processing results,
including six months of 1994 operations of the Wattenberg gathering and
transmission system versus three months of 1993 operating results.

</TABLE>
Although 1994 short- and long-term borrowings were higher than the comparable
1993 periods, interest expense in 1994 was positively impacted by lower
interest rates (primarily due to the September 1993 refunding of high coupon
sinking fund debentures).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Excluding the $41 million of proceeds from the January 1994 sale of contract
demand receivables, net cash flows from operating activities were $47.7 million
for the first six months of 1994 compared with $49.4 million for the 1993
period.  The decline in 1994 net operating cash flows is primarily attributable
to the impact of FERC Order 636 implementation and mild weather discussed
above.

In February 1994, K N's gas and oil subsidiaries completed a $30 million
acquisition of gas reserves and production in western Colorado and southwestern
Wyoming.  The Company expects to finalize the sale of a 50 percent interest in
these acquired properties to a third party in the third quarter of 1994.

The Company expects to issue between $50-$70 million of long-term debt in the
fourth quarter of 1994.  Proceeds from this debt issue will be used to pay down
short-term commercial paper issued to retire AOG long-term debt and fund
capital expenditures.
