                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To HS Resources, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets acquired and revenues and
direct operating expenses for the gathering and transmission assets acquired
from Kinder Morgan, Inc. and affiliated entities (the "Wattenberg System") as of
and for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. These statements are the
responsibility of HS Resources, Inc.'s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The statements of assets acquired and revenues and direct operating expenses for
the Wattenberg System were prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules
of the Securities and Exchange Commission as described in Note 1 and are not
intended to be a complete presentation of the assets and liabilities or revenues
and expenses.

In our opinion, the statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the assets acquired and revenues and direct operating expenses for the
Wattenberg System as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

              NOTE TO STATEMENT OF ASSETS ACQUIRED AND REVENUES AND
               DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES FOR THE WATTENBERG SYSTEM


1.    Basis of Presentation

On November 26, 1999, HS Resources, Inc. (HSR) acquired certain gas gathering
and transmission assets (the Wattenberg System) from Kinder Morgan, Inc. and
affiliated entities (KMI) for an adjusted purchase price of approximately $48
million plus the assumption of an operating lease which had a present value of
$19 million.

The Wattenberg System consists of a low pressure gathering system and a high
pressure transmission system. The low pressure gathering system consists of more
than 1,500 miles of pipeline and 3,000 horsepower of compression, located in
five northeastern Colorado counties. Gas is delivered to the inlet of the high
pressure transmission system, which consists of almost 60 miles of high pressure
pipeline and almost 40,000 horsepower of compression. The acquisition is being
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

The accompanying statements of assets acquired and revenues and direct operating
expenses were derived from the historical accounting records of the Wattenberg
System. The statement of assets acquired only presents the historical basis of
the assets acquired and the related accumulated depreciation, as full financial
statements for the acquired assets were not available. The statement of
revenues and direct operating expenses does not include general and
administrative, income tax or interest expenses as these costs were not
accounted for at the asset level by KMI. Additionally, the level of these
indirect expenses incurred by KMI may not be comparable to the expenses expected
to be incurred by HSR.

Gathering and Transmission Assets

Gathering and transmission assets are stated at historical cost, which, for
constructed plant, includes indirect costs such as payroll taxes, fringe
benefits, administrative and general costs. Expenditures that increase
capacities, improve efficiencies or extend useful lives are capitalized.
Routine maintenance, repairs and renewal costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation is computed based on the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of assets, ranging from 3 to 40 years for the gathering and
transmission assets acquired.

                            OF THE WATTENBERG SYSTEM


      The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at
September 30, 1999 and pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations
for the nine months then ended adjust the historical financial information of
HSR to reflect the acquisition of the Wattenberg System. The pro forma balance
sheet and statement of operations were prepared as if the acquisition had
occurred on September 30, 1999 and January 1, 1999, respectively. The pro forma
adjustments are based on estimates and assumptions explained in further detail
in the accompanying notes.

      The unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the related historical financial statements and the related notes. The pro
forma information presented is not necessarily indicative of the financial
position or results that would have actually occurred had the acquisition of the
Wattenberg System been consummated on the dates indicated or which may occur in
the future.
