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.

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 $3.0 million had not yet been paid as of
March 31, 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 AOG'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. AOG 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 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 will own
only the Huntsman, Nebraska storage facilities, which will remain as
jurisdictional facilities and continue to provide storage services.
Jurisdictional rates will be restated to reflect this transfer. KNNG will be
able to market its cushion gas at market rates from the three storage facilities
which were transferred.

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.

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


CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS
For the first quarter of 1995, K N reported consolidated net income of $14.5
million, or $0.51 per common share, after payment of preferred dividends. This
reflects a 21 percent increase in earnings compared with the 1994 first
quarter's net income of $12.0 million, or $0.42 per common share.

Stringent cost controls (including realized expense savings from the K N-AOG
merger), contributions from the February 1995 acquisition of transmission and
storage assets in Texas, and the impact of 1994 rate increases (subsequent to
the first quarter of 1994) were the key factors to the 1995 earnings
improvement. These factors more than offset the adverse effects of mild winter
weather and lower natural gas prices.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
First quarter operating results by business segment and consolidated other
income and (deductions) and income taxes are discussed below. Segment operating
revenues, gas purchases, operations and maintenance expenses and volumetric data
cited below are before intersegment eliminations (dollars in millions).

</TABLE>

As indicated by degree days, the first quarter of 1995 was 10 percent milder
than the previous year. The decline in 1995 gas sales revenues and volumes and
gas purchases primarily reflects the milder weather. Sales volumes also declined
as several commercial customers converted to transportation service. Rate
increases on the Rocky Mountain distribution system, subsequent to the first
quarter of 1994, and expense reductions due to the centralization of customer
service operations more than offset the weather impact.

As a part of the 1994 FERC rate case, customers renominated lower levels of firm
storage service. Accordingly, the impact of higher rates resulting from the late
1994 rate case settlement was partially offset by lower storage revenues in the
1995 first quarter. Also contributing to the decline in 1995 operating income,
compared to the 1994 first quarter, was the favorable resolution in 1994 of
certain environmental or legal contingencies. First quarter 1994 operations and
maintenance expense was reduced by $1.3 million as reserves for these issues
were no longer required.

Although first quarter 1995 gas sales volumes were 11.2 trillion Btus lower than
the 1994 first quarter, sales margins were higher due to favorable gas costs 
and a greater percentage of 1995 sales being made to firm requirements 
customers.  First quarter 1995 results also benefited from the February 
acquisition of natural gas transmission and storage assets in Texas, lower 
operations and maintenance expense (excluding expenses of the February 
acquisition), and an improvement in margins on natural gas liquids due to 
improved recoveries.

The decline in 1995 operating income reflects low natural gas prices which also
resulted in shut-in production. Additionally, the first quarter 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

First quarter 1995 net cash flows from operations were $60.0 million, or $3.0
million below net operating cash flows for the 1994 first quarter, excluding the
$41 million of proceeds from the February 1994 sale of contract demand
receivables.

Short-term debt was $46.0 million at March 31, 1995, compared with short-term
borrowings of $60.0 million and $9.0 million at December 31, 1994 and March 31,
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.

         As reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company
         was named as one of four potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") at a
         U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") Superfund site known as
         the Mystery Bridge Road/U.S. Highway 20 site located near Casper,
