BACKGROUND OF AQP VALUATION

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   NUMEROUS MARKET SECTOR AND COMPANY SPECIFIC FACTORS HAVE LED TO EROSION OF
   AQP'S MARKET VALUE.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


- -   OPERATING PERFORMANCE CONTINUES TO DECLINE AND AQUILA'S 1998 RESULTS WERE
    WELL BELOW CONSENSUS STREET ESTIMATES. IMPORTANT ISSUES WHICH IMPACTED
    PERFORMANCE INCLUDE:

      -   The unsuccessful sale process
      -   Lower than expected NGL prices
      -   Fluctuations in production levels impacting volumes
      -   Decreased volumes on the SW gas pipeline

- -   FIRST QUARTER 1999 RESULTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE LOWER THAN PROJECTED RESULTS.

- -   AQUILA HAS A HEAVY CONCENTRATION IN THE AUSTIN CHALK.

- -   THERE HAS BEEN A SUBSTANTIAL DETERIORATION IN THE VALUE OF THE OASIS
    PIPELINE AS BASIS DIFFERENTIAL HAS DECLINED.

- -   MUCH OF AQP'S FINANCIAL FORECAST DEPENDS ON AN UNCERTAIN OUTLOOK FOR THE NGL
    AND NATURAL GAS MARKETS. 

- -   RECENT ORGANIZATIONAL RESTRUCTURING HAS TAKEN PLACE.

      -   Personnel losses have caused a setback in the strategic direction of 
          AQP's Gas Marketing and Trading Operation, serving as an impetus for 
          AQP's Gas Marketing Group to enter into an outsourcing agreement with 
          Aquila Energy Marketing

      -   Risk merchant activity was shut down in July '98 and any reopening 
          remains uncertain

                                                                             2

RECENT RESTRUCTURING CHARGE AT AQUILA

- --------------------------------------------
   AQUILA HAS IMPLEMENTED A PLAN TO
   RESTRUCTURE ITS OPERATIONS.
- --------------------------------------------


- -  AQP WILL REPORT A FIRST QUARTER, PRE-TAX CHARGE OF $1.7 MILLION TO COVER 
   THE RESTRUCTURING COSTS. 

- -  THE COMPANY PLANS TO CUT APPROXIMATELY 60 JOBS FROM BOTH ITS CORPORATE 
   HEADQUARTERS AND VARIOUS FIELD LOCATIONS.

    -  This represents a substantial portion (approximately 23%) of AQP's 
       existing workforce (260) 

- -  AQP EXPECTS TO SAVE $4 MILLION TO $5 MILLION PER YEAR ON A PRE-TAX BASIS 
   AS A RESULT OF THESE ACTIVITIES.

    -  These savings have been included in AQP's financial projections


                                                                             14
