NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       General

The consolidated financial statements include the amounts of K N Energy, Inc.
("K N") and its majority-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). 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.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1995
presentation.

2.       Merger

On July 13, 1994, pursuant to the Agreement of Merger dated March 24, 1994,
American Oil and Gas Corporation ("AOG") was merged into the Company. 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. 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 was accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the
historical consolidated financial statements for periods prior to consummation
of the merger have been restated as though the companies had been combined for
all periods reported herein.

3.       Merger and Restructuring Costs

The Company recorded merger and restructuring costs totaling $25.9 million in
the third quarter of 1994. Total expected cash expenditures relating to these
charges are $23.4 million, of which $2.2 million had not yet been paid as of
June 30, 1995.

Merger expenses include $12.4 million in investment bankers' and other
professional fees, $7.7 million for severance and employee benefit costs for
approximately 230 employees who have been or will be terminated through
consolidation of administrative and operational staff, and $4.6 million in costs
to eliminate duplicative space requirements and equipment, and to write-off the
cost of information systems not required subsequent to the merger.

Restructuring costs related to the formal restructuring plan of the Company's
retail distribution operations total $1.2 million, representing severance and
employee benefit costs for terminating approximately 90 retail distribution
employees as a result of the restructuring and centralization of customer
service functions.

4.       Acquisitions

On February 16, 1995, the Company acquired natural gas transmission pipeline and
storage assets in Texas. The assets include two West Texas pipeline systems,
comprised of 347 miles of pipeline and related facilities, which are currently
connected to K N's core pipeline system. In addition, surface facilities, lease
rights and approximately 10.8 Bcf of natural gas in storage in a leased, Gulf
Coast storage field were acquired. K N also acquired the remaining 50 percent
interest it did not previously own in a 90-mile joint venture pipeline near
Midland, Texas.

The total price was $80.1 million, subject to closing adjustments. The Company
utilized an operating lease and short-term debt financing arrangements to fund
the acquisition.

5.       Regulatory  Matters

In January 1995, as a result of an agreement reached with its customers, the
Company filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
("FERC") to transfer three storage fields, including approximately 45 Bcf of
cushion gas held by K N Interstate Gas Transmission Co. ("KNI"), to a newly
created nonjurisdictional affiliate, K N Natural Gas, Inc. ("KNNG"). On May 2,
1995, FERC issued an order approving the storage reorganization filing. With the
approval of this transfer, KNI owns only the Huntsman, Nebraska storage
facilities, which will remain as jurisdictional facilities and continue to
provide storage services. Jurisdictional rates were restated to reflect this
transfer. KNNG began marketing its gas at market rates from the three storage
facilities which were transferred, effective June 1, 1995.

6.       Treasury Stock

In April 1995, K N's Board of Directors authorized the purchase on the open
market of up to 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock through December
31, 1996. Any such purchases will be used to fund Company benefit plans and the
Company's dividend reinvestment plan. Such a program is in the ordinary course
of K N's business and is a continuation of a similar share purchasing program
that K N has used in the past. As of June 30, 1995, the Company had purchased
10,000 shares under this authorization.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS

The Company reported second quarter 1995 net income of $6.9 million, or $0.24
per common share, after payment of preferred dividends, compared with 1994
second quarter net income of $2.9 million, or $0.10 per common share. The
significant improvement in 1995 results is attributable to the realized benefits
from the July 1994 merger with American Oil and Gas Corporation, favorable
weather for space heating load in K N's northern region, the impact of 1994 rate
increases (subsequent to the 1994 second quarter), and improved natural gas
liquids prices. These positive factors more than offset weak natural gas prices
and cool, wet June weather primarily in K N's southern region which affected gas
sales to agricultural and electric generation markets.

For the first six months of 1995, net income was $21.4 million or $0.75 per
common share, which reflects a 44 percent increase in earnings over the 1994 six
months' net income of $14.9 million, or $0.52 per common share. Expense savings
from the merger, contributions from the February 1995 acquisition of
transmission and storage assets in Texas, and the impact of 1994 rate increases
were key factors in the 1995 earnings improvement.

Second quarter 1995 gas sales and transportation margins exceeded 1994 margins
by $2.2 million due to rate increases on the Rocky Mountain distribution system
during the 1994 second quarter and increased deliveries to space heating markets
reflecting cooler temperatures. Second quarter 1994 operations and maintenance
expenses were reduced by $1.7 million due to favorable resolutions of certain
regulatory and environmental matters. For the 1995 six-month period, operations
and maintenance expenses reflect savings realized by centralization of its
customer service operations.

The significant increase in 1995 second quarter operating income primarily
reflects higher rates resulting from the late 1994 rate case settlement.
Additionally, improved 1995 throughput volumes and NGL recoveries, due to colder
weather, and cost controls enhanced 1995 results. Comparing operating income for
the six-month periods, the impact of the 1994 rate increase on 1995 results was
partially offset by lower customer nominations for firm storage service.
Additionally, first quarter 1994 operations and maintenance expense was reduced
by $1.3 million, due to favorable resolution of certain environmental and legal
contingencies.

Although 1995 second quarter gas sales to agricultural and electric generation
markets were adversely impacted by cool, wet weather in June, this decline in
sales volumes was more than offset by sales to lower margin, short-term local
distribution and industrial markets. Further, the earnings impact of low
agricultural and electric load was more than offset by higher 1995 NGL prices
and cost savings resulting from the merger. Additionally, 1995 results have
benefited from the February acquisition of natural gas transmission and storage
assets in Texas. Second quarter 1994 depreciation, depletion and amortization
included a $1.0 million write-down of a Texas gathering system.

         The decline in 1995 operating income reflects low natural gas prices
which also resulted in shut-in production. Additionally, 1994 results included
production from gas and oil reserves acquired in February 1994. In October 1994,
the Company sold a 50 percent interest in these properties.

The increase in first quarter 1995 interest expense is due to the October 1994
sale of $75 million of 8.75% debentures. In the second quarter of 1994, a gain
of $1.5 million was realized on the sale of a south Texas gathering system.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash flows from operations for the first six months of 1995 were $85.2
million, or $10.7 million above net operating cash flows for the comparable 1994
period, excluding the $41 million of proceeds received from the February 1994
sale of contract demand receivables. The improvement in 1995 net cash flows
results from the positive 1995 earnings factors.

Short-term debt was $45.5 million at June 30, 1995, compared with short-term
borrowings of $60.0 million and $25.5 million at December 31, 1994 and June 30,
1994, respectively. In February 1995, the Company completed the $80.1 million
acquisition of natural gas transmission and storage assets in Texas.
Approximately $66 million of the acquisition was financed by an operating lease.

The Company expects to issue approximately $75 million of long-term debt in the
fourth quarter of 1995. Proceeds of this debt issue will be used to pay down
short-term borrowings and fund capital expenditures.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

         Scott City, Kansas Helium Plant Environmental Matters.

         As reported in the Company's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K, in May
         1994, the Company discovered that use of a lubricating oil containing
         PCBs had caused contamination in certain equipment, soils, and liquids
         at the Company's Scott City, Kansas helium extraction facility. A work
         plan for remediation was approved by the EPA, and the clean-up has been
         completed. Total cost for remediation did not exceed the $600,000
         estimate and normal operations at the Plant were not affected.

         Westerman, et al. vs. K N Energy, Inc., et al.

         As reported in the Company's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K, on
         December 8, 1994, K N and its wholly-owned subsidiary K N Gas Supply
         Services, Inc. ("KNGSS") were sued by gas producers under claims
         arising from two gas purchase contracts covering gas purchases from
         wells in the Niobrara Field, Colorado. On June 29, 1995, the U.S.
         District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division,
         ruled that it has jurisdiction over K N Energy, Inc. and that venue is
         proper in that court. The court has not yet ruled on whether it has
         jurisdiction over KNGSS.
