INTRODUCTION

QEP Midstream Partners, LP

QEP Midstream Partners, LP ("QEP Midstream", the "Partnership", "we", "us" or "our") was formed in Delaware on April 19, 2013, to own, operate, acquire and develop midstream energy assets. The Partnership's assets consist of ownership interests in four gathering systems and two Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regulated pipelines through which we provide natural gas and crude oil gathering and transportation services in Colorado, North Dakota, Utah and Wyoming.

On August 14, 2013, the Partnership completed its initial public offering (the "IPO") of common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this report to "Predecessor," "we," "our," "us," or like terms, when used on a historical basis (periods prior to the IPO), refer to QEP Midstream Partners, LP Predecessor (the Predecessor). References in this report to "QEP Midstream" the "Partnership," "Successor," "we," "our," "us," or like terms, when used from and after the IPO, in the present tense or prospectively (starting August 14, 2013), refer to QEP Midstream Partners, LP and its subsidiaries. For purposes of these financial statements, "QEP" refers to QEP Resources, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Partnership.

As part of the IPO, QEP Midstream Partners GP, LLC ("General Partner") and QEP Field Services Company ("QEPFS"), both QEP affiliates, collectively contributed to the Partnership (i) a 100% ownership interest in each of QEP Midstream Partners Operating, LLC, QEPM Gathering I, LLC and Rendezvous Pipeline Company, L.L.C., (ii) a 78% interest in Rendezvous Gas Services, L.L.C., and (iii) a 50% equity interest in Three Rivers Gathering, L.L.C. The General Partner serves as general partner of the Partnership and together with QEP provides services to the Partnership pursuant to an omnibus agreement between the parties.

The Predecessor consists of all of the Partnership's gathering assets as well as a 38% equity interest in Uintah Basin Field Services, L.L.C. and a 100% interest in all other gathering assets owned by QEP Field Services in the Uinta Basin (collectively referred to as the "Uinta Basin Gathering System"). The Uinta Basin Gathering System was retained by QEP and was not part of the assets conveyed to the Partnership.

Green River Processing Acquisition

QEP Midstream completed its acquisition of 40% of the membership interests in Green River Processing, LLC (the "Company") from QEPFS on July 1, 2014 (the "Closing Date") (collectively, the "Green River Processing Acquisition"). The Company’s assets consist of the Blacks Fork processing complex and Emigrant Trail processing plant (collectively "Green River Processing Operations") both located in southwest Wyoming. Green River Processing Operations were conveyed to the Company on the Closing Date and prior to this were wholly owned by QEPFS.

The combined processing capacity of Green River Processing's assets is 890 million cubic feet per day, or MMcf/d, of which 560 MMcf/d is cryogenic capacity and 330 MMcf/d is Joule-Thomson processing capacity. In addition, there is 15,000 barrels per day of natural gas liquids ("NGL") fractionation capacity at the Blacks Fork complex.

Under the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Partnership paid cash consideration of $230.0 million for the Green River Processing Acquisition, which was funded with $220.0 million of borrowings under the Partnership's credit facility and the remaining amount with cash on hand. The Green River Processing Acquisition was accounted for as an equity investment in unconsolidated affiliate. The investment was recorded at the carrying value as of the Closing date as the Green River Processing Acquisition represents a transaction between entities under common control with the difference between the carrying amount and the purchase price recorded to equity.

Pro Forma Financial Statements — Basis of Presentation
 
Item 9.01 of Form 8-K requires that we provide the following pro forma financial statements applicable to the Green River Processing Acquisition:

Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and the year ended December 31, 2013, prepared as if the Green River Processing Acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2013; and
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2014, prepared as if the Green River Processing Acquisition occurred as of the balance sheet date.

Our pro forma consolidated financial data has been derived from adjusting the historical combined financial statements of

2


Green River Processing Operations as reported in Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K/A, which consists of the assets and ownership interests which were transferred to the Company by QEPFS in connection with the closing of the Green River Processing Acquisition.

The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial data may not be indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the Company operated autonomously or as an entity independent of QEPFS or QEP in the periods for which historical financial data is presented below or indicative of the results that may be obtained in the future. However, management believes that these estimates and assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the Green River Processing Acquisition and that the pro forma adjustments are factually supportable and give appropriate effect to those estimates and assumptions and are properly applied in the pro forma combined financial data.

Under Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regulations, pro forma adjustments to our statements of operations are limited to those that are (1) directly attributable to the Green River Processing Acquisition, (2) factually supportable and (3) expected to have a continuing impact. As such, in preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations, we have combined our reported results with those of the Green River Processing Acquisition and made adjustments to:

reflect the Partnership's portion of net income from its equity investment in the Company; and
reflect additional interest expense that would have been incurred by the Partnership for the borrowings under our credit facility that were used to fund the Green River Processing Acquisition.

Under SEC regulations, pro forma adjustments to our balance sheet are limited to those that give effect to events that are directly attributable to the Green River Processing Acquisition and are factually supportable regardless of whether they have a continuing impact or are nonrecurring. As such, in preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet, we have utilized our previously reported unaudited balance sheet as of June 30, 2014, and made adjustments to:

reflect the investment we acquired in the Green River Processing Acquisition; and
reflect the cash consideration and debt incurred to fund the Green River Processing Acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes accompanying these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and with the historical consolidated financial statements of QEP Midstream.

QEP MIDSTREAM PARTNERSHIP, LP
NOTES ACCOMPANYING THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The historical financial information of QEP Midstream as reported in these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements is from the audited historical consolidated financial statements of QEP Midstream for the year ended December 31, 2013, and the unaudited quarterly financial statements of QEP Midstream as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The pro forma adjustments for the Green River Processing Acquisition were derived from the historical combined financial statements of Green River Processing Operations.
    
The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions; therefore, the actual effects of these transactions will differ from the pro forma adjustments. A general description of these transactions and adjustments is provided in Note 2.

Note 2 - Pro forma Adjustments

The following adjustments have been prepared as if the Green River Processing Acquisition and related transactions had taken place at January 1, 2013, in the case of the pro forma statements of operations and on June 30, 2014, in the case of the pro forma balance sheet.

Acquisition Pro Forma Adjustments

(a)    Represents the acquisition of 40% of the membership interest in Green River Processing, LLC, for a total purchase price of $230.0 million, funded with $220.0 million of borrowings under the Partnership's credit facility and $10.0 million cash on hand. The investment was recorded at QEPFS' historical carrying value of the net property, plant and equipment less asset retirement obligations as of the Closing Date as the Green River Processing Acquisition represents a transaction between entities under common control with the difference between the carrying amount and the purchase price recorded to equity. The carrying value of the net property, plant and equipment less asset retirement obligations was used as these were the only assets, liabilities or working capital of Green River Processing Operations that was conveyed by QEPFS in conjunction with the Green River Processing Acquisition. The portion recorded to equity was allocated amongst the equity owned by QEPFS based upon the respective unit balances as of June 30, 2014 as follows (in millions):

(3) Represents the adjustment to remove the income tax expense as the assets were conveyed to the Company, which is non-taxable entity.

8



(c)    Represents the adjustment to interest expense to reflect the additional expense that would have been incurred related to the borrowings of $220.0 million under the Partnership's credit facility that was used to fund the Green River Processing Acquisition.
