QUESTAR MARKET RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 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 nine-month periods ended September 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. As a result of the purchase of Shenandoah Energy, Inc. (SEI), Questar Market Resources, Inc. (QMR) recorded $66.8 million of goodwill on July 31, 2001. The goodwill 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. The yearly goodwill impairment test required by SFAS 142 will be conducted in the fourth quarter.

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 - Sale of Canadian Properties

On October 21, 2002, QMR sold its Canadian exploration and production subsidiary to EnerMark Inc., a subsidiary of Calgary-based Enerplus Resources Fund. Total consideration for 100% of the shares and retirement of associated debt was $US 105.6 million, subject to a one-time post-close adjustment in December 2002 to reflect changes, if any, in the Celsius Energy Resources, Ltd. (CERL) working capital balance as of the July 31, 2002 effective date of the transaction. CERL earned net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 of $US 1.5 million and had total assets of $US 80 million at September 30, 2002. CERL's daily gas production of 28 million cubic feet equivalent represents approximately 10% of QMR's current nonregulated production. At year-end 2001, CERL had 81.8 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe) of natural gas and oil reserves, representing about 7% of QMR's nonregulated reserves. QMR will use the proceeds from the sale to repay debt.

Note 4 - 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 September 30, 2002, these affiliates did not have debt obligations with third-party lenders. The Company has 50% or less voting interest in each business. The form of organization and QMR's percentage ownership in these businesses are as follows: 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%).

Note 6 - 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. In the third quarter of 2002, the Company closed out its interest hedging position.

Subsequently, the private placement notes were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and exchange notes with the same terms were issued in April 2002.
