NOTES ACCOMPANYING THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Nature of Business

Questar Market Resources, Inc. (Market Resources or the Company) is a natural gas-focused energy company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Questar Corporation (Questar) and Questar’s primary growth driver. Market Resources is a subholding company with four principal subsidiaries:

Questar Exploration and Production Company (Questar E&P) acquires, explores for, develops and produces natural gas, oil, and NGL;

Wexpro Company (Wexpro) manages, develops and produces cost-of-service reserves for gas utility affiliate, Questar Gas;

Questar Gas Management Company (Gas Management) provides midstream field services including natural gas-gathering and processing services for affiliates and third parties; and

Questar Energy Trading Company (Energy Trading) markets equity and third-party gas and oil, provides risk-management services, and owns and operates an underground gas-storage reservoir.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation of Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain the accounts of Market Resources and its majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and with the instructions for quarter reports on Form 10-Q and Regulations S-X and S-K. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments and accruals that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for audited annual consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Certain reclassifications were made to prior-period financial statements to conform with the current presentation.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes in conformity with GAAP requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from estimates. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.

All dollar amounts in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q are in millions, except where noted otherwise.

Note 3 – Share-Based Compensation

Questar issues stock options and restricted shares to certain officers, employees and non-employee directors under its Long-term Stock Incentive Plan (LTSIP) and accounts for the transactions according to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123R “Share-Based Payment.” Questar has granted and continues to grant share-based compensation to certain Market Resources employees. First-half share-based compensation expense amounted to $4.1 million in 2007 compared with $2.5 million in 2006. A two-for-one stock split declared by Questar’s board of directors was distributed June 18, 2007. Historical share and per-share amounts have been restated for the stock split. Unvested stock options held by employees of Market Resources increased by 60,000 shares in the first six months of 2007. Stock-option transactions under the terms of the LTSIP are summarized below:

Note 4 – Operations by Line of Business

Market Resources has four primary reportable segments: Questar E&P, Wexpro, Gas Management and Energy Trading. Line of business information is presented according to management’s basis for evaluating performance including differences in the nature of products and services. Certain intersegment sales include intercompany profits. Following is a summary of operations by line of business:

	$102.1	$ 79.3	$211.6	$173.9

Note 5 – Asset Retirement Obligations (ARO)

Market Resources recognizes ARO in accordance with SFAS 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” 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 Company’s ARO applies primarily to abandonment costs associated with gas and oil wells and certain other properties. The fair value of abandonment costs are estimated and depreciated over the life of the related assets. The ARO liability is adjusted to present value each period through an accretion calculation using a credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. Changes in ARO were as follows:


	2007	2006
	(in millions)
ARO liability at January 1,	$128.3	$74.3
Accretion	4.0	2.3
Liabilities incurred	4.1	3.4
Revisions	1.3
Liabilities settled	(1.0)	(0.6)
ARO liability at June 30,	$136.7	$79.4

Note 6 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). The interpretation applies to all tax positions related to income taxes subject to FASB Statement 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 provides guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold for a tax position to be reflected in the financial statements. If recognized, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Market Resources adopted the provisions of FIN 48 January 1, 2007. Management has considered the amounts and the probabilities of the outcomes that could be realized upon ultimate settlement and believes that it is more-likely-than-not that the Company’s recorded income tax benefits will be fully realized. There were no unrecognized tax benefits at the beg inning or at the end of the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. Questar’s federal income tax returns for the years 1999 through 2004 are currently under examination.

The Company records interest earned on income-tax refunds in interest and other income and penalties and interest charged on tax deficiencies in interest expense. As of the date of adoption, there were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest related to unrecognized tax benefits.

Note 7 – Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is the sum of net income as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes changes in the market value of gas and oil-price derivatives. Changes in the market value of derivatives during the period result from contracts realized or otherwise settled, changes in energy prices and new derivative contracts. Comprehensive income is shown below:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion updates information as to Market Resources financial condition provided in its previous Form 10-K filing, and analyzes the changes in the results of operations between the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. For definitions of commonly used gas and oil terms found in this report on Form 10-Q, please refer to the “Glossary of Commonly Used Terms” provided in the Company’s 2006 Form 10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Following are comparisons of net income by line of business:


	3 Months Ended June 30,			6 Months Ended June 30,
	2007	2006	Change	2007	2006	Change

Market Resources, which conducts natural gas and oil exploration, development and production, gas gathering and processing, wholesale gas and oil marketing and gas storage, reported $102.1 million of net income for second quarter of 2007 compared with $79.3 million in the second quarter of 2006, a 29% increase and $211.6 million net income in the first half of 2007 compared with $173.9 million in the 2006 period. Operating income increased $34.5 million or 25% in the 2007 second quarter and was 15% higher in the 2007 first half compared to the 2006 periods due primarily to increased natural gas production at Questar E&P, increased gas-gathering volumes driven by an increase in third-party volumes at Gas Management and an increased investment base at Wexpro. Net mark-to-market gains (losses) on natural gas basis-only swaps increased first half 2007 net income $3.3 million and decreased first half 2006 net income by $3.5 million. Following is a summary of Market Resources financial an d operating results:

The impact of growing production combined with increased realized prices for natural gas was offset by a higher average production cost structure. Net mark-to-market losses on natural gas basis-only swaps reduced net income $4.1 million in the 2007 quarter and $3.5 million in the 2006 quarter. For the first six months of 2007, net mark-to-market gains (losses) on natural gas basis-only swaps increased net income $3.3 million compared to a reduction of $3.5 million in the 2006 period.

Questar E&P production volumes increased to 35.5 Bcfe in the second quarter of 2007, a 13% increase compared to the year-earlier period. For the first six months of 2007 production volumes increased to 70.4 Bcfe, an 11% increase compared to the year-earlier period. Questar E&P shut in approximately 1 Bcfe (net) of unhedged June natural gas and associated liquid hydrocarbon production in response to low regional market prices for natural gas in the Rocky Mountain producing area. Natural gas is Questar E&P’s primary focus. On an energy-equivalent basis, natural gas comprised approximately 87% of Questar E&P 2007 production. A comparison of natural gas-equivalent production by major operating area is shown in the following table:

Questar E&P production from the Pinedale Anticline in western Wyoming grew 32% to 23.6 Bcfe in the first six months of 2007 as a result of ongoing development drilling. Pinedale production growth is influenced by seasonal access restrictions imposed by the Bureau of Land Management that limit the company’s ability to drill and complete wells during the mid-November to early May period.

Questar E&P Rockies Legacy properties include all of the company’s Rocky Mountain region properties except the Pinedale Anticline and the Uinta Basin. Rockies Legacy year-to-date 2007 production of 9.4 Bcfe was 0.6 Bcfe lower than a year ago. The 2006 production included a gas-imbalance settlement of 0.7 Bcfe.

In the Midcontinent, year-to-date production grew 6% to 24.8 Bcfe in 2007, driven by ongoing infill-development drilling in Elm Grove field in northwestern Louisiana. Net production from Elm Grove field increased to 7.8 Bcfe in the first six months of 2007, compared to 6.7 Bcfe in the year-earlier period.

For the first six months of 2007, the weighted-average realized natural gas price for Questar E&P (including the impact of hedging) was $6.41 per Mcf compared to $6.13 per Mcf for the same period in 2006, a 5% increase. Realized oil and NGL prices in the first six months of 2007 averaged $49.63 per bbl, compared with $50.27 per bbl during the prior year period, a 1% decrease. A regional comparison of average realized prices, including hedges, are shown in the following table:

Approximately 70% of 2007 and 67% of 2006 first half gas production was hedged or pre-sold. Hedging increased Questar E&P gas revenues by $90.1 million in 2007 and $2.8 million in 2006. Approximately 64% of 2007 and 79% of 2006 first half Questar E&P oil production was hedged or pre-sold. Oil hedges reduced revenues $0.7 million in 2007 and $10.4 million in 2006.

Questar E&P may hedge up to 100 percent of forecasted production from proved reserves to lock in acceptable returns on invested capital and to protect returns, cash flow and net income from a decline in commodity prices. During the second quarter of 2007, Questar E&P hedged additional production through 2010. In the second quarter of 2006, the company began using basis-only swaps to protect cash flows and net income from widening natural gas-price basis differentials that may result from capacity constraints on regional gas pipelines. Net mark-to-market losses on natural gas basis-only swaps reduced second quarter 2007 net income $4.1 million compared to a $3.5 million reduction in the prior-year period. Derivative positions as of June 30, 2007, are summarized in Item 3 of Part I in this quarterly report.

Questar E&P production costs (the sum of depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, lease operating expense, general and administrative expense, allocated-interest expense and production taxes) per Mcfe of production increased 17% to $3.36 per Mcfe in the second quarter of 2007 versus $2.86 per Mcfe in 2006. Questar E&P production costs are summarized in the following table:


	3 Months Ended June 30,			6 Months Ended June 30,
	2007	2006	Change	2007	2006	Change
	(per Mcfe)
Depreciation, depletion and amortization	$1.71	$1.38	$0.33	$1.70	$1.33	$ 0.37
Lease operating expense	0.62	0.54	0.08	0.61	0.54	0.07
General and administrative expense	0.44	0.27	0.17	0.40	0.31	0.09
Allocated interest expense	0.18	0.26	(0.08)	0.18	0.23	(0.05)
Production taxes	0.41	0.41		0.43	0.46	(0.03)
Total production costs	$3.36	$2.86	$0.50	$3.32	$2.87	$ 0.45

Production volume-weighted average depreciation, depletion and amortization rate increased due to higher costs for drilling, completion and related services, increased cost of steel casing, other tubulars and wellhead equipment, the ongoing depletion of older, lower-cost reserves and the increasing component of Questar E&P production derived from higher-cost fields such as Elm Grove in the Midcontinent and Vermillion Basin in the Rockies. Lease operating expense per Mcfe increased due to increased costs of materials and consumables, increased produced-water disposal costs and increased well-workover activity. General and administrative expense per Mcfe grew due to increased labor and legal expenses in the 2007 quarter and the reversal of a legal expense accrual in the year-earlier quarter. Allocated interest expense per unit of production decreased in the 2007 period due to increased current year production and refinancing costs incurred in the second quarter of 2006.

Questar E&P exploration expense decreased $7.0 million or 69% in the second quarter of 2007 and $8.3 million or 62% in the first six months compared to the 2006 periods as the result dry-hole costs incurred in 2006. Abandonment and impairment expense increased $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2007 and $0.6 million for the first six months of 2007.

Major Operating Areas

Pinedale Anticline

As of June 30, 2007, Market Resources (including both Questar E&P and Wexpro) operated and had working interests in 213 producing wells on the Pinedale Anticline compared to 149 a year earlier. Of the 213 producing wells, Questar E&P has working interests in 191 wells, overriding royalty interests in an additional 21 Wexpro-operated wells, and no interest in one well operated by Wexpro. Wexpro has working interests in 66 of the 213 producing wells.

In 2005, the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission approved 10-acre-density drilling for Lance Pool wells on about 12,700 acres of Market Resources 18,208 acre (gross) Pinedale leasehold. The area approved for increased density corresponds to the currently estimated productive limits of Market Resources core acreage in the field. At December 31, 2006, Questar E&P had booked 316 proved undeveloped locations on a combination of 10- and 20-acre density and reported estimated net proved reserves at Pinedale of 931.9 Bcfe, or 57% of Questar E&P’s total proved reserves. With 10-acre-density drilling, the company currently estimates up to 932 wells will be required to fully develop the Lance Pool on its acreage.

Uinta Basin

As of June 30, 2007, Questar E&P had a working interest in 861 producing wells in the Uinta Basin of eastern Utah, compared to 758 at June 30, 2006. At December 31, 2006, Questar E&P had booked 109 proved undeveloped locations and reported estimated net proved reserves in the Uinta Basin of 248.3 Bcfe or 15% of Questar E&P’s total proved reserves. Uinta Basin proved reserves are found in a series of vertically stacked, laterally discontinuous reservoirs at depths of 5,000 feet to deeper than 16,000 feet. Questar E&P owns interests in over 242,000 gross leasehold acres in the Uinta Basin.

Rockies Legacy

The remainder of Questar E&P Rocky Mountain region leasehold interests, productive wells and proved reserves are distributed over a number of fields and properties managed as the company’s Rockies Legacy division. Most of the properties are located in the Greater Green River Basin of western Wyoming. In aggregate, Rockies Legacy properties comprised 142.3 Bcfe or 9% of Questar E&P total proved reserves at December 31, 2006. In the Vermillion Basin on the southwestern Wyoming-northwestern Colorado state line, Market Resources companies continue to evaluate the potential of several formations under 146,000 net leasehold acres. As of June 30, 2007, Market Resources had recompleted two older wells, drilled and completed 18 new wells, and one well was waiting on completion. The targets are the Baxter Shale, a thick, overpressured shale found at depths of about 9,500 to about 13,000 feet and deeper Frontier and Dakota tight-sand formations at depths to about 14,000 feet.

Midcontinent

Questar E&P Midcontinent properties are distributed over a large area, including the Anadarko basin of Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle, the Arkoma basin of Oklahoma and western Arkansas, and the Ark-La-Tex region of Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas. With the exception of the Elm Grove field in northwest Louisiana, Questar E&P Midcontinent leasehold interests are highly fragmented, with no significant concentration of property interests. In aggregate, Midcontinent properties comprised 308.9 Bcfe or 19% of Questar E&P total proved reserves at December 31, 2006.

Questar E&P continues a two-rig infill-development project on its largest single Midcontinent asset, the Elm Grove field in northwest Louisiana. As of June 30, 2007, Questar E&P operated or had working interests in 263 producing wells in the Elm Grove field compared to 211 at June 30, 2006. At December 31, 2006, Questar E&P had 30 proved undeveloped locations and reported estimated net proved reserves at Elm Grove of 80 Bcfe, or 5% of the company’s total proved reserves.

Wexpro

Wexpro reported net income of $14.7 million, in the second quarter of 2007 compared to $12.0 in the 2006 quarter, a 23% increase. For the first six months of 2007, Wexpro net income was $28.6 million compared to $23.9 million in the prior year period, a 20% increase. Pursuant to the Wexpro Agreement, Wexpro recovers its costs and receives an unlevered after-tax return of approximately 19% to 20% on its investment in commercial wells and related facilities – adjusted for working capital and reduced for deferred income taxes and depreciation (investment base). Wexpro investment base at June 30, 2007, was $267.2 million, an increase of $47.1 million or 21% since June 30, 2006. Wexpro produced 9.6 Bcf of cost-of-service gas for delivery to affiliate Questar Gas in the second quarter of 2007.

Gas Management

Gas Management grew net income to $14.9 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to $10.2 million in the 2006 period, a 46% increase. Net income for the first six months of 2007 increased 37% to $27.3 million compared to $19.9 million in the 2006 period, driven by higher gathering and processing volumes.

Gathering volumes increased 29.1 million MMBtu, or 24% to 152.8 million MMBtu in the first six months of 2007. New projects serving third parties in the Uinta Basin and expanded Pinedale production contributed to a 56% increase in third-party volumes

Questar Market Resources Form 10-Q

during the first half. Total gathering margins (revenues minus direct expenses) during the first six months of 2007 increased 53% to $34.1 million compared to $22.3 million in 2006. Gas Management gas-gathering volumes and revenues are summarized in the following table:


	3 Months Ended June 30,			6 Months Ended June 30,
	2007	2006	Change	2007	2006			Change
Gathering volumes (millions of MMBtu)
For unaffiliated customers	44.4	28.3	16.1	83.9		53.7	30.2
For affiliated customers	31.3	34.2	(2.9)	68.9		70.0	(1.1)
Total gathering volumes	75.7	62.5	13.2	152.8		123.7	29.1
Gathering revenue (per MMBtu)	$0.33	$0.29	$0.04	$0.31		$0.29	$0.02

Fee-based gas-processing volumes were 33.4 million MMBtu in the second quarter of 2007, a 26% increase compared to the 2006 period. Fee-based gas-processing revenues increased 36% or $1.3 million, while gross margin from keep-whole processing increased 45% or $3.6 million in the 2007 quarter. Approximately 74% of Gas Management net operating revenue (total revenue less processing plant-shrink) is derived from fee-based contracts, compared to 75% in the 2006 period. For the first six months of 2007, fee based gas-processing volumes were 64.0 million MMBtu compared to 56.6 million MMBtu in the 2006 period, a 13% increase. Gas Management uses forward sales contracts to reduce margin volatility associated with keep-whole contracts. Forward sales contracts reduced NGL revenues by $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2007 and $0.1 million for the first six months of 2007 compared to a reduction of $0.4 million in the 2006 quarter and an increase of $1.3 million for the first six months of 20 06. Gas Management gas-processing volumes and revenues are summarized in the following table:


	3 Months Ended June 30,			6 Months Ended June 30,
	2007	2006	Change	2007	2006			Change
NGL sales (MMgal)	20.2	21.9	(1.7)	38.0		44.5	(6.5)
Fee-based processing (millions of MMBtu)	33.4	26.5	6.9	64.0		56.6	7.4
NGL sales price (per gal)	$0.95	$0.89	$0.06	$0.92		$0.88	$0.04
Fee-based processing (per MMBtu)	$0.15	$0.14	$0.01	$0.15		$0.14	$0.01

During the first quarter of 2007, Gas Management placed a 20.8-mile 20-inch-diameter pipeline between Gas Management’s Blacks Fork gas-processing plant and Kern River Transmission Co.’s Muddy Creek compressor station into service. The FERC-regulated Rendezvous Pipeline Co., LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Gas Management, is able to deliver up to 300 MMcf of natural gas per day to markets in California and Nevada served by Kern River Pipeline.

Energy Trading and Other

Energy Trading grew net income 480% to $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2007, driven primarily by increased trading margins. For the first six months of 2007, net income was $11.8 million compared to $3.5 million for the same period of 2007, a 237% increase. Gross marketing margin (gross revenues less costs for gas and oil purchases, transportation and gas storage) totaled $18.2 million for the first six months of 2007 compared to $5.9 million a year ago.

Consolidated Results after Operating Income

Income from unconsolidated affiliates

Income before income tax from Gas Management’s interests in unconsolidated affiliates Rendezvous Gas Services and Uintah Basin Field Services was $4.3 million for the first six months of 2007 compared to $3.3 million in 2006. Rendezvous Gas Services provides gas-gathering services for the Pinedale and Jonah producing areas. Uintah Basin Field Services provides gas-gathering services for the Flat Rock area in southern Uinta Basin.

Interest expense

Interest expense declined 10% in the second quarter and 3% in the first half of 2007 compared to the 2006 periods. Second quarter 2006 interest expense included charges associated with Market Resources refinancing activities.

Net mark-to-market gain (loss) on basis-only swaps

The Company uses basis-only swaps to protect cash flows and net income from widening natural gas-price basis differentials that may result from capacity constraints on regional gas pipelines. The Company recognized a net mark-to-market gain of $5.2

Questar Market Resources Form 10-Q

million on the NYMEX/Rockies basis-only swaps in the first half of 2007 compared with a net mark-to-market loss of $5.6 million in the first half of 2006.

Income taxes

The effective combined federal and state income tax rate was 36.7 % in the first half of 2007 compared with 36.9% in the 2006 period.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Market Resources primary market-risk exposures arise from changes in the market price for natural gas, oil and NGL, and volatility in interest rates. Energy Trading has long-term contracts for pipeline capacity and is obligated to pay for transportation services with no guarantee that it will be able to recover the full cost of these transportation commitments.

Commodity-Price Risk Management

Market Resources uses gas and oil-price-derivatives in the normal course of business to reduce, or hedge, the risk of adverse commodity-price movements. However these same arrangements typically limit future gains from favorable price movements. Derivative contracts are currently in place for a significant share of Questar E&P-owned gas and oil production, a portion of Energy Trading gas and oil-marketing transactions and some of Gas Management’s NGL sales.

Market Resources has established policies and procedures for managing commodity-price risks through the use of derivatives. These policies and procedures are reviewed periodically by the Finance and Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Natural gas and oil-price hedging supports Market Resources rate of return and cash-flow targets and protects earnings from downward movements in commodity prices. The volume of hedged production and the mix of derivative instruments are regularly evaluated and adjusted by management in response to changing market conditions. Market Resources may hedge up to 100% of forecast production from proved reserves when prices meet earnings and cash-flow objectives. Market Resources does not enter into derivative arrangements for speculative purposes.

Market Resources uses fixed-price swaps to realize a known price for a specific volume of production delivered into a regional sales point. A fixed-price swap is a derivative instrument that exchanges or “swaps” the “floating” or daily price of a specified volume of natural gas, oil or NGL, over a specified period, for a fixed price for the specified volume over the same period (typically three months or longer). In the normal course of business, the Company sells its equity natural gas, oil and NGL production to third parties at first-of-the-month or daily “floating” prices related to indices reported in industry publications. The fixed-price swap price is reduced by gathering costs and adjusted for product quality to determine the net-to-the-well price. Swap agreements do not require the physical transfer of gas between the parties at settlement. Swap transactions are settled in cash with one party paying the other for the net difference in prices, multip lied by the relevant volume, for the settlement period.

Market Resources enters into commodity-price derivative arrangements with banks and energy-trading firms having investment-grade credit ratings. Collateral deposits are not required with the exception of one arrangement that extends credit up to a threshold amount above which Market Resources is required to deposit collateral for out-of-the-money derivative contracts. The amount of credit available may vary depending on the credit ratings assigned to Market Resources debt. In addition to the counterparty arrangements, Market Resources has a $182.0 million long-term revolving-credit facility with banks with no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2007.

Generally, derivative instruments are matched to equity gas and oil production, thus qualifying as cash-flow hedges under the accounting provisions of SFAS 133 as amended and interpreted. Changes in the fair value of cash-flow hedges are recorded on the balance sheet and in other comprehensive income (loss) until the underlying gas or oil is produced. Gas hedges are typically structured as fixed-price swaps into regional pipelines, locking in basis and hedge effectiveness. The ineffective portion of cash-flow hedges is immediately recognized in the determination of net income.

Market Resources began using natural gas basis-only swaps in 2006 to manage the risk of a widening of basis differentials in the Rocky Mountains. These contracts are marked-to-market with any change in the valuation recognized in the determination of net income.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report may contain or incorporate by reference information that includes or is based upon “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements give expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective services or products, future performance or results of current and anticipated services or products, exploration efforts, expenses, the outcome of contin gencies such as legal proceedings, trends in operations and financial results.

Any or all forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many such factors will be important in determining actual future results. These statements are based on current expectations and the current economic environment. They involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These statements are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Among factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are:

the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2006;

general economic conditions, including the performance of financial markets and interest rates;

changes in industry trends;

changes in laws or regulations; and

other factors, most of which are beyond control.

Market Resources undertakes no obligation to publicly correct or update the forward-looking statements in this quarterly report, in other documents, or on the Web site to reflect future events or circumstances. All such statements are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by the report (the Evaluation Date). The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was assessed using criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them on a timely basis to material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, required to be included in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act. The Company’s Chie f Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer also concluded that the controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management including its principal executive and financial officers or persons performing similar functions as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Controls.

Since the Evaluation Date, there have not been any changes in the Company’s internal controls or other factors during the most recent fiscal quarter that could materially affect such controls.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Questar may be subject to future greenhouse gas regulation. On April 2, 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in Massachusetts v. EPA, in which the Court held that carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, is a pollutant regulated under the Clean Air Act and that EPA has a duty to make a determination regarding whether emissions of carbon dioxide from mobile sources

Questar Market Resources Form 10-Q

endanger health and the environment. Although the decision addresses mobile source emissions, it is already being cited in other pending litigation as support for the proposition that EPA should promulgate National Ambient Air Quality Standards for carbon dioxide with attendant direct restrictions on emissions of carbon dioxide from stationary sources of air emissions. In addition to this legal development, there are a number of bills pending in Congress which would regulate greenhouse gas emissions through a cap-and-trade system under which emitters of greenhouse gases would be allocated or sold allowances to permit emissions of greenhouse gases. While it is likely that there will be regulation of greenhouse gas emissions in the next few years, it is too early to predict with any certainty how this regulation will affect Questar’s business, operations or financial results.
