<p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">The following information shall not be deemed &quot;filed&quot; for

deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or the Exchange Act.</p>

<p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">On April 16, 2003, Kinder Morgan, Inc. issued a press release regarding
its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and held a webcast conference
call discussing those results. A copy of the earnings press release is furnished as
Exhibit&nbsp;99.1 to this report. An unedited transcript of the webcast conference call,
prepared by an outside vendor, is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this report. The webcast
conference call is also currently available for replay on Kinder Morgan, Inc.'s website at
<u>www.kindermorgan.com</u> by clicking &quot;webcast conference calls&quot; and the
&quot;Audio Webcast&quot; button. The webcast will be archived on the website under
&quot;Investors - KMI - Conference Call.&quot; </p>

<p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">The non-generally accepted accounting principle financial measure of
cash flow is presented in this earnings release. We define cash flow as pre-tax income
before depletion, depreciation and amortization (DD&amp;A), less current taxes and less
sustaining capital expenditures. In each case, the amounts included in the calculation of
these measures are computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), with the exception of sustaining capital expenditures. Sustaining capital
expenditures are defined as capital expenditures (as defined by GAAP) which do not
increase the capacity of the asset. We routinely calculate and communicate this measure to
investors. We believe that continuing to provide this information results in consistency
in our financial reporting. In addition, we believe that this measure is useful to
investors because it provides investors with a quick, simple and reasonable estimate of
our cash flow available for expansion projects, debt repayment, dividends and share
repurchases. A reconciliation of cash flow to preliminary cash provided from operations is
provided in the earnings release. Cash flow should be considered in conjunction with cash
provided from operations, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles.</p>
