|||
|
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation of Interim Financial Statements |
|||
|
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Questar Market Resources, Inc. (Market Resources or the Company), with the exception of the condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2002, have not been audited by independent public accountants. 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. Market Resources manages commodity-price risk through the use of natural-gas and oil-price hedging instruments. The results of operations for the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 filed by Mark et Resources. |
|||
|
Note 2 - Cumulative Effect for Accounting Change - "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" |
|||
|
On January 1, 2003, Market Resources adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 143 (SFAS 143) "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" and recorded a $5.1 million after tax charge for the cumulative effect of this accounting change. SFAS 143 addresses the financial accounting and reporting of the fair value of legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. The new standard requires the Company to estimate a fair value of abandonment costs and to capitalize and depreciate those costs over the life of the related assets. The asset retirement obligation is adjusted to its present value each period through an accretion process using a credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. Both the accretion expense associated with the liability and the depreciation associated with the capitalized abandonment costs are non-cash expenses until the asset is retired. The adoption of SFAS 143 caused Market Resources to change the accounting method for plugging a nd abandonment costs associated with gas and oil wells and certain other properties. SFAS 143 was applied retroactively to prior years to determine the cumulative effect through December 31, 2002. |
|||
|
Questar Gas, an affiliate of Market Resources, recorded a regulatory asset amounting to $6.6 million as of January 1, 2003 representing a retroactive charge for the abandonment costs associated with gas wells operated on its behalf by Wexpro Company (Wexpro), a Market Resources subsidiary. The regulatory asset will be reduced as gas wells are plugged and abandoned. |
|||
|
The accretion expense in the first nine months of 2003 amounted to $1.5 million. An additional $1.0 million of accretion costs were recorded in a receivable from Questar Gas for properties operated by Market Resources. If the new method of accounting for plugging and abandonment costs had been in effect in the first nine months of 2002, the pro forma effect accretion expense would have been $1.2 million. |

Note 3 - Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates |
||||||
|
Market Resources, indirectly through subsidiaries, has interests in partnerships accounted for on the equity basis. These entities are engaged primarily in gathering and/or processing of natural gas. The entities do not have debt obligations with third-party lenders. Market Resources uses the equity method to account for investments in affiliates in which it does not have control. The principal affiliates and Market Resources' ownership percentage as of September 30, 2003 were: Rendezvous Gas Services LLC, a limited liability corporation, (50%) and Canyon Creek Compression Co., a general partnership (15%). Market Resources' 50% interest in Blacks Fork Processing is included in the amounts for the 2002 periods presented. Market Resources acquired the other 50% interest in Blacks Fork Processing in the fourth quarter of 2002 and has consolidated operating results since the acquisition. |

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 include changes in the market value of gas and oil hedging derivatives and changes in holding value resulting from foreign currency translation adjustments. These transactions are not the culmination of the earnings process, but result from periodically adjusting historical balances to market value. Income or loss is realized when the gas or oil underlying the hedging contracts are sold. |
