QUESTAR GAS COMPANY
NOTES ACCOMPANYING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Nature of Business
Questar Gas Company (Questar Gas or Company) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Questar Corporation (Questar). The Company provides retail natural gas distribution in Utah, southwestern Wyoming and a small portion of southeastern Idaho. Questar Gas is regulated by the Public Service Commission of Utah (PSCU) and the Public Service Commission of Wyoming (PSCW). The Public Utility Commission of Idaho has contracted with the PSCU for rate oversight of Questar Gas’s Idaho operations.
Note 2 – Basis of Presentation of Interim Financial Statements
The interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and with the instructions for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and Regulations S-X and S-K. The interim 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 financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for audited annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Certain reclassifications were made to prior-period financial statements to conform with the current presentation.
The preparation of the 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 three, six and twelve months ended June 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.
Note 3 – Financing
In February 2008, Questar Gas filed a shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission to sell up to $150 million of debt securities and to use the net proceeds to repay intercompany demand notes, to repay debt maturing in early 2008 and to finance certain capital expenditures as well as for general corporate purposes, including working capital. In March 2008, Questar Gas sold $50 million of 10-year notes with a 6.3% interest rate and $100 million of 30-year notes with a 7.2% interest rate.
Note 4 – Questar Gas Equity Issue
In the first quarter of 2008, Questar Gas received $30.0 million of common equity from Questar and used the proceeds to repay $30.0 million of notes payable due to Questar.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion updates information as to Questar Gas’s financial condition provided in its previous Form 10-K filing, and analyzes the changes in the results of operations between the three-, six- and twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. For definitions of commonly used terms found in this Form 10-Q, please refer to the “Glossary of Commonly Used Terms” provided in the Company’s 2007 Form 10-K.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Questar Gas, which provides retail natural gas distribution services in Utah, Wyoming and Idaho, reported a net loss of $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared with a loss of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2007. Net income was $28.6 million in the first half of 2008 compared with $28.0 million in the first half of 2007. Net income for the 12 months ended June 30, 2008, was $38.0 million compared with $36.3 million in the 12 months ended June 30, 2007. Operating income decreased $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to 2007. First-half 2008 operating income increased $1.7 million due primarily to higher revenues from new-customer growth. Operating income for the 12 months ended June 30, 2008, was $77.8 million compared with $73.8 million for the 12 months ended June 30, 2007. Following is a summary of Questar Gas financial and operating results:

Margin Analysis
Questar Gas margin (revenues less gas costs) increased $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007, $5.4 million in the first half of 2008 compared to the first half of 2007, and $11.4 million in the 12 months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the 12-months ended June 30, 2007. Following is a summary of major changes in Questar Gas margin:

At June 30, 2008, Questar Gas served 881,505 customers, up from 862,053 at June 30, 2007. New-customer growth increased margin by $2.9 million in the first half of 2008, and $5.0 million in the 12 months ended June 30, 2008.
Temperature-adjusted usage per customer decreased 2% in the second quarter of 2008, and increased slightly in both the first half of 2008, and the 12 months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods of 2007. The impact on the Company margin from changes in usage per customer has been mitigated by a pilot conservation-enabling tariff (CET) that was approved by the PSCU beginning 2006. The CET resulted in a margin decrease of $2.3 million in the first half of 2008, partially offsetting the $2.8 million increase in margin resulting from usage per customer.
Weather, as measured in degree days, was 31% colder than normal in the second quarter of 2008, 16% colder than normal in the first half of 2008 and 11% colder than normal in the 12 months ended June 30, 2008. A weather-normalization adjustment on customer bills generally offsets financial impacts of moderate temperature variations.
Expenses
Cost of natural gas sold increased 15% in the second quarter of 2008 due to increased sales volumes. Cost of natural gas sold declined 1% in the first half of 2008 and declined 6% in the 12 months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the 2007 periods. Lower expenses per dth more than offset a 13% increase in volumes sold in the first half of 2008. Questar Gas accounts for purchased-gas costs in accordance with procedures authorized by the PSCU and the PSCW. Purchased-gas costs that are different from those provided for in present rates are accumulated and recovered or credited through future rate changes. As of June 30, 2008, Questar Gas had a $12.0 million under-collected balance in the purchased-gas adjustment account representing costs incurred that exceeded costs recovered from customers.
Operating and maintenance expenses increased 20% in the second quarter of 2008, 11% in the first half of 2008 and 7% in the 12 months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods of 2007. The increase in operating and maintenance expense was due primarily to higher bad-debt costs. General and administrative expenses decreased 7% in the 2008 first half. Operating, maintenance, general and administrative expenses per customer were $71 in the first half of 2008 compared to $69 in the first half of 2007.
Depreciation expense increased 7% in the second quarter of 2008, 7% in the first half of 2008 and 6% in the 12 months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the 2007 periods. The increase in depreciation expense was primarily the result of plant additions from customer growth and system expansion.
General Rate Case
In December 2007, Questar Gas filed a general rate case in Utah requesting an increase in rates of $27.0 million, including an authorized return on equity of 11.25%. The Company subsequently modified its request to $22.2 million to reflect a change in test year ordered by the PSCU and the impact of tax law changes on rate base. In the second quarter of 2008, Questar Gas received an order from the PSCU increasing rates by $12.0 million. The PSCU reduced the Questar Gas’s allowed return on equity from 11.2% to 10.0%. The new rates will be effective in mid-August 2008.

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, as of June 30, 2008. 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 inInternal Control – Integrated Framework.
