UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT
The following unaudited pro forma income statement gives effect to (i)
KN Energy, Inc.'s ("K N") January 30, 1998 acquisition of MidCon Corp.
("MidCon") from Occidental Petroleum Corporation ("Occidental") (the
"Acquisition"), (ii) the March 1998 sale by K N of 12.5 million shares of
common stock in an underwritten public offering (the "Equity Offering"), (iii)
the March 1998 underwritten public offering of an aggregate principal amount of
$2.35 billion of senior notes of varying maturities (the "Debt Offerings") and
(iv) the April 1998 underwritten public offering of $175 million aggregate
liquidation amount of 7.63% Capital Securities (the "Capital Securities
Offering" and, together with the Equity Offering and the Debt Offerings, the
"Prior Offerings"). The unaudited pro forma condensed statement of income
assumes that the Acquisition and the Prior Offerings occurred at January 1,
1998. A pro forma balance sheet has not been included because K N's June 30,
1998 balance sheet included in its second-quarter 1998 Report on Form 10-Q
reflects the impact of the Acquisition. A pro forma income statement for the
twelve months ended December 31, 1997 has not been included because such income
statement was included in K N's Report on Form 8-K filed on June 5, 1998. The
Acquisition was recorded as a purchase for accounting purposes and,
accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been reflected
at their estimated respective fair market values.
The unaudited pro forma income statement should be read in conjunction with
the historical financial statements of K N and "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of K N included in
K N's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K and first- and second-quarter 1998 Reports
on Form 10-Q and the historical financial statements of MidCon included in K N's
Report on Form 8-K/A dated February 12, 1998. The unaudited pro forma condensed
statement of income is not necessarily indicative of the financial results that
would have occurred had the Acquisition been consummated on the date indicated,
nor is it necessarily indicative of future financial results.
The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary assumptions and
estimates made by K N's management and do not reflect adjustments for
anticipated operating efficiencies and cost savings which K N expects to
achieve as a result of the Acquisition. The actual allocation of the
consideration paid by K N for MidCon may differ from that reflected in the
unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements after a more
extensive review of the fair market values of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed has been completed.
