REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Evergreen Resources, Inc.
Denver, Colorado
We have audited the accompanying statements of natural gas revenues and
direct operating expenses of the properties (the "Acquisition Properties")
acquired by Evergreen Resources, Inc. from Apache Canyon Gas, L.L.C., an
affiliate of KLT Gas Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Kansas City
Power and Light Company for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the management of Evergreen
Resources, Inc. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
The accompanying financial statements were prepared on the basis discussed in
Note 1 and are for the purpose of complying with certain rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for inclusion in certain SEC
regulatory reports and filings of Evergreen Resources, Inc. and are not intended
to be a complete presentation of the revenues and expenses of the Acquisition
Properties.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the revenues and direct operating expenses of the
Acquisition Properties for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

ACQUISITION PROPERTIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
On September 20, 2000, Evergreen Resources, Inc. ("Evergreen") acquired
interests in approximately 24,000 acres of producing coal bed methane
properties in the Raton Basin (the "Acquisition Properties") from
Apache Canyon Gas, L.L.C., an affiliate of KLT Gas Inc., an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of Kansas City Power & Light Company
("Apache"). The total consideration paid by Evergreen on closing was
approximately $70 million in cash, $100 million in mandatory redeemable
preferred stock and $6 million in Evergreen's common stock. The
transaction was effective September 1, 2000. The acquisition has been
accounted for as a purchase and the results of operations for the
Acquisition Properties will be included in Evergreen's results of
operations beginning September 1, 2000.
The accompanying historical statements of natural gas revenues and
direct operating expenses (the "historical statements") are presented
using accrual basis, full cost accounting and relate to the interests
in the producing gas properties described above. These historical
statements may not be representative of future operations. The
historical statements were prepared from the historical accounting
records of Apache. The historical statements do not include Federal and
state income taxes, interest expense, depletion, depreciation and
amortization or general and administrative expenses. The historical
statements include natural gas revenues and direct lease operating and
production expenses, including production and ad valorem taxes, for all
the periods presented.
Complete financial statements, including a balance sheet, are not
presented as the Acquisition Properties were not maintained as a
separate business unit, and assets, liabilities or indirect operating
costs applicable to the Acquisition Properties were not segregated.
Accordingly, it is not practicable to identify all assets, liabilities
or indirect operating costs applicable to the Acquisition Properties.
2. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON GAS RESERVES (UNAUDITED)
There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of
proved reserves and in projecting the future rates of production and
timing of development expenditures. All reserves are located in the
United States. The following reserve data represent estimates only
and should not be construed as the current market value of the
Acquisition Properties or the cost that would be incurred to obtain
equivalent reserves.
An analysis of the estimated changes in quantities of proved natural
gas reserves for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 is shown
below:

EVERGREEN RESOURCES, INC.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OVERVIEW
On September 20, 2000, Evergreen Resources, Inc. ("Evergreen") acquired
interests in approximately 24,000 acres of producing coal bed methane properties
in the Raton Basin from Apache Canyon Gas, L.L.C., an affiliate of KLT Gas,
Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Kansas City Power and Light Company
("Apache"). The total consideration paid by Evergreen on closing was
approximately $70 million in cash, $100 million in mandatory redeemable
preferred stock and $6 million in Evergreen's common stock. The transaction was
effective September 1, 2000.
The acquired properties, estimated to contain 153 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of
proved gas reserves, are located in the southern Colorado portion of the Raton
Basin. As of September 20, 2000, the acquired properties were generating daily
net sales of 28 million cubic feet (MMcf) of gas from a total of 151 net wells.
The number of shares of Evergreen's common stock issued upon the closing of
the acquisition was 201,748 and was calculated based on a per-share price
equal to the average closing price of Evergreen's common stock during the
fifteen-trading-day period ending on the day prior to the closing.
In addition to the consideration paid at the closing of the acquisition,
Evergreen will be required at January 5, 2001 to deliver additional shares of
its common stock valued at $4 million, in the event the average of the
monthly settle prices for the 2001 NYMEX natural gas futures contracts equals
or exceeds $4.465 per MMBtu. The number of shares of stock issuable would be
calculated based on a per-share price equal to the average closing price of
Evergreen's common stock during the fifteen-trading-day period ending on the
day prior to the date of delivery of such stock to Apache. As additional
purchase consideration, Evergreen is required to pay a monthly net profits
interest payment estimated at approximately $500,000 through the earlier of
the redemption of the preferred stock or January 1, 2003.
To provide the cash portion of the purchase price for this acquisition,
Evergreen drew on its credit facility with Hibernia National Bank, BNP-Paribas,
Wells Fargo Bank Texas, NA, Bank One, NA, Fleet National Bank and Bank of
Scotland.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statements of operations for
the year ended December 31, 1999 and the six months ended June 30, 2000 give
effect to the acquisition by Evergreen of certain producing gas properties
located in the state of Colorado (the "Acquisition Properties") as if the
acquisition, accounted for as a purchase, had occurred on January 1, 1999.
The pro forma information is based on the historical consolidated financial
statements of Evergreen and the historical statements of Natural Gas Revenues
and Direct Operating Expenses of the Acquisition Properties for the year
ended December 31, 1999 and six month period ended June 30, 2000 after giving
effect to the acquisition and the assumptions and adjustments in the
accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed
financial statements. The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed balance
sheet as of June 30, 2000 gives effect to the acquisition as if it had
occurred on June 30, 2000. The pro forma financial statements reflect the
preliminary allocation of the purchase price. The purchase price will be
finalized upon completion of management's review and resolution of the
purchase contingencies.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements may not be
indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the acquisition
had been effective on the date indicated or which may be obtained in the future.
The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
historical consolidated financial statements of Evergreen and the historical
statements of Natural Gas Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses of the
Acquisition Properties.
