Exhibit 99

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are presented for Black Hills Corporation to illustrate the estimated effects of the sale by Black Hills Exploration & Production, Inc. ("Black Hills Exploration"), a subsidiary of Black Hills Corporation, of certain oil and gas assets.

On September 27, 2012, Black Hills Exploration sold approximately 85 percent of its Bakken and Three Forks shale assets in the Williston Basin for approximately $243 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The sale involves Black Hills Exploration's non-operated interest in approximately 28,000 net lease acres and 73 gross wells. Per the terms of the sale agreement, the closing proceeds of the properties were calculated based on the July 1, 2012 effective date.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances and are intended for informational purposes only. They are not necessarily indicative of the financial results that would have occurred if the transaction described herein had taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of future consolidated results. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read together with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as well as the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements filed with the SEC on Form 10-Q as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

BLACK HILLS CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The historical information is derived from the historical financial statements of Black Hills Corporation. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2012 is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the Bakken and Three Forks shale assets sale as if the transaction had occurred on June 30, 2012. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and for the year ended December 31, 2011 are presented to illustrate the estimated effects on Black Hills Corporation as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2011.

NOTE 2. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS

Balance Sheet:

(a)    The adjustment to cash reflects the following:
    
 
(in thousands)
Cash proceeds received on date of sale *
$
244,883

 
 
Less: Transaction adviser fees
(1,400
)
Less: Estimated payment for contractual obligation related to "back-in" fee **
(16,847
)
 
 
Net cash, subject to post-close adjustments
$
226,636

* Net cash proceeds are subject to customary post-close adjustments related to the transaction effective date of July 1, 2012.
** Required payment, triggered by the sale of the property, arising from a contractual obligation contained in the original participation agreement with the property operator. The payment amount is variable depending upon the sale price of the property, after deducting certain costs of development.

(b)
Represents adjustments for working capital balances related to the properties sold.

(c)
Represents net adjustments to oil and gas properties accounted for under the full-cost accounting method. Under the full-cost accounting method, we anticipate booking a one-time, pre-tax gain of approximately $20 million to $40 million and will apply the remainder of the sales price as a reduction to the oil and gas full-cost pool. For pro forma purposes, we have reflected the $30 million mid-point of our estimated gain range. The actual gain on sale will be calculated after the closing of our September 2012 financial statements and will be impacted by post-close adjustments to the sales price.

(d)
Represents the net adjustments to deferred taxes that includes the reversal of deferred tax liabilities attributable to the oil and gas properties sold and the deferred tax assets related to the utilization of available net operating losses as a result of the gain to be recognized for income tax purposes.


6



Income Statement:

(e)
Reflects the financial results of the properties sold in the transaction for the periods presented. Depreciation, depletion and amortization, represents an adjustment for reduction in (i) production volumes, (ii) reserve volumes, (iii) capitalized costs and (iv) asset retirement obligations attributable to the assets sold.

Supplemental Information:

(f)
The attached pro forma condensed consolidated income statements do not reflect a benefit associated with our use of net cash proceeds associated with the sale. As disclosed in our Form 8-K filed on September 28, 2012, management has announced that the proceeds will be utilized to repay the $225 million senior unsecured 6.5 percent bonds originally maturing on May 15, 2013.
