NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2002

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim period presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Note 2 - New Accounting Standards

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142) was issued in June 2001. SFAS 142 addresses, among other things, the financial accounting and reporting for goodwill subsequent to an acquisition. According to the new standard, amortization of goodwill was replaced by a requirement to test goodwill for impairment at least yearly or sooner if a specific triggering event occurs. QMR acquired $66.8 million of goodwill on July 31, 2001, which was exempt from amortization under the new guidelines in SFAS 142. The company adopted the remaining provisions of SFAS 142 as of January 1, 2002 and completed an initial impairment test with no indication of impairment.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

The Company adopted SFAS 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" as of January 1, 2002, without an impact in the balance sheet, income statement or statement of cash flows.

Note 3 - Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates

QMR, indirectly through subsidiaries, has interests in businesses accounted for on the equity basis. These entities are engaged primarily in gathering and processing of natural gas. As of June 30, 2002, these affiliates did not have debt obligations with third-party lenders. The principal businesses, form of organization and percentage ownership were Canyon Creek Compression Co., a general partnership, (15%), Blacks Fork Gas Processing Co., a general partnership, (50%) and Rendezvous Gas Services LLC, a limited liability corporation, (50%). The Company has 50% or less voting interest in each business.

Summarized operating results of the investments are listed below.

Note 5 - Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is the sum of net income as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income and other comprehensive income transactions reported in Shareholder's Equity. Other comprehensive income transactions result from changes in the fair value of energy price hedging contracts and interest rate hedging contracts, and changes in the carrying value of foreign investments caused by foreign currency translation adjustments. These transactions are not the culmination of the earnings process, but result from periodically adjusting historical balances to fair value. Income or loss is realized when the gas or oil underlying the hedging contracts is sold. Interest expense is adjusted quarterly for the difference between the variable rate on the debt instruments and the fixed rate interest swaps.
