UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Barrett Resources Corporation and its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the "Company", as of March 31, 2001 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Company's financial statements in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Form 10-K. Also see Note 6 to these Consolidated Financial Statements regarding recently adopted accounting standards. Certain reclassifications have been made to 2000 amounts to conform to the 2001 presentation. 2. INCOME TAXES Provisions for income taxes were calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 which provides that a deferred tax liability or asset be determined based on the timing differences between the basis used for financial versus tax reporting of assets and liabilities as measured by the effective tax rates. For the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Company used an estimated effective tax rate of 38 percent. Also see Note 6. 3. LONG-TERM DEBT The Company's long-term debt consists of the following (in thousands):

In December 2000, the Company entered into a revolving senior credit facility under which up to $350 million is available for loans and letters of credit. This revolving line of credit expires December 15, 2005. As of March 31, 2001 the Company's effective interest rate, on the outstanding balance on its line of credit averaged 6.4% per annum. 7 BARRETT RESOURCES CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) March 31, 2001 The Company's outstanding letters of credit totaled $36.3 million and $40.3 million at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE The following data shows the amounts used in computing earnings per share and the effect on income and the weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common stock.

5. DERIVATIVES AND TRADING ACTIVITIES The Company uses swap agreements to reduce the effect of price volatility on a portion of its natural gas production. For its trading activities, the Company enters into a variety of contracts to purchase and sell natural gas and oil at both fixed prices and at index based prices. The Company also enters into financial instruments (derivatives) that seek to reduce sensitivity to price movements or to create guaranteed margins on certain trading delivery and purchase commitments. The Company accounts for and reports the fair value of its production and trading derivatives in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", adopted January 1, 2001. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. It also requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. (Changes in the fair value are often referred to as unrealized mark to market adjustments.) Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. In conjunction with SFAS 133, contracts to purchase and sell natural gas and derivative positions for the Company's trading activity are marked to market at the end of each reporting period as trading activities. 8 BARRETT RESOURCES CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) March 31, 2001 Production Hedges With the adoption of SFAS 133 on January 1, 2001, the Company recognized other comprehensive loss of $101.3 million, net of tax benefits of $62.1 million, and an additional liability of $163.4 million for the unrealized fair value of its derivative positions qualifying as cash flow hedges on 57.4 Bcf of its natural gas production. As of March 31, 2001, the Company held derivative positions on 51.0 Bcf of its natural gas production. The fair value of these derivatives at March 31, 2001, is a negative $120.8 million and is reflected on the Company's balance sheet as a liability (current $69.4 million and long term $51.4 million). Changes in the fair value of the derivatives, reclassification of derivative losses offsetting related results on hedged production recognized in the income statement and assessment of hedge effectiveness decreased the Company's other comprehensive loss to $74.5 million. (See Statement of Consolidated Condensed Comprehensive (Loss) Income.) For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company recorded unrealized mark to market losses under its natural gas production swap agreements of $31.6 million and $4.7 million, respectively. Trading Activities The fair value of the Company's trading contracts and financial instruments as of March 31, 2001 was an estimated net negative of $48.7 million, an increase in value of $30.5 million from the $79.2 million fair value recorded at December 31, 2000. Net trading activities include a net unrealized mark to market gain of $14.8 million inclusive of mark to market adjustments on its natural gas inventory for the three months ended March 31, 2001. For the same period of 2000, the Company recognized a net unrealized mark to market loss of $1 million. Gross trading activities are summarized in the table below.

9 BARRETT RESOURCES CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) March 31, 2001 6. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company operates principally in two business segments: oil and gas exploration and production and natural gas trading. In addition to marketing its own gas, the Company engages in natural gas trading activities, which involves purchasing natural gas from and selling natural gas to third parties at prices and volumes that management anticipates will result in profits to the Company. The Company evaluates segment performance based on the profit or loss from operations before income taxes. Corporate general and administrative expenses are unallocated, except for certain direct costs associated with the Company's trading activity. Consolidated and segment financial information is as follows:

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On May 7, 2001, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with the Williams Companies, Inc.("Williams") and Williams' wholly-owned subsidiary Resources Acquisition Corp. ("Acquiror") in a transaction valued at approximately $2.8 billion, including the assumption of approximately $300 million in debt. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on May 14, 2001 Williams, through Acquiror, commenced a cash tender offer at $73.00 per share for 50 percent of the Company's outstanding common stock (the "Offer"). The Merger Agreement provides that, following consummation of the Offer and the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company and Acquiror will merge pursuant to which each remaining share of the Company's common stock will be converted into 1.767 shares of Williams' common stock. 10 BARRETT RESOURCES CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) March 31, 2001 The transaction, which is contingent upon approval from federal anti-trust regulators and the tender of at least 50 percent of the Company's common stock, is expected to close in 60 to 90 days. The Merger Agreement provides for a termination fee of $75.5 million and reimbursement of up to $15 million in expenses each payable to Williams upon certain events of termination. 8. STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

11 BARRETT RESOURCES CORPORATION For the Quarter Ended March 31, 2001 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Liquidity and Capital Resources For the three months ended March 31, 2001, total assets decreased $91 million, or seven percent, to $1.16 billion as compared with total assets of $1.25 billion at December 31, 2000. The Company's net cash flow from operations (see Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow) generated funds that were used to fund capital expenditures for the period and to reduce the Company's long term debt by $108.8 million. The Company's cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2001 decreased by $2.6 million to $22.8 million and working capital decreased from December 31, 2000 by $79.3 million. The decrease in working capital is attributed to the monetization through collections and sale, respectively, of the Company's receivables and natural gas inventory. Furthermore, as of March 31, 2001 and in accordance with SFAS 133, adopted January 1, 2001, the Company recognized an additional liability of $120.8 million, of which $69.4 million was current, for the fair value of its production hedging positions. (See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company generated operating cash flow of $101.3 million before working capital changes compared with $38.7 million in 2000. After working capital changes, cash flow provided by operations was $153.5 million, an increase of $122.4 million over 2000. These increases are primarily attributable to higher prices received in 2001 for gas sales. The Company had $140 million outstanding under its bank credit facility at March 31, 2001, down $108.8 million from the December 31, 2000 outstanding balance. The Company's oil and gas property expenditures for the first quarter of 2001 totaled $64.5 million, compared to $89.7 million for the same period of 2000. Of these expenditures, $25.9 million (40 percent) was invested in the Piceance Basin, $13.2 million (20 percent) in the Powder River Basin--Coal Bed Methane area, $10.6 million (16 percent) in the Raton Basin and $7.7 million (12 percent) in the Uinta Basin. In October 2000, the Company entered into a ten-year firm transportation commitment to transport its gas on a pipeline to be placed in service in May 2002. In January 2001, for consideration of $20.0 million, the Company assigned its rights and obligations for a 33 month period of that ten-year commitment commencing July 1, 2002. The Company is obligated to refund all or some of the consideration if, in the unlikely event, the pipeline is not constructed or its in-service date is delayed. On April 23, 2001, the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission issued a ruling to approve 20-acre increased density drilling covering 16,000 acres of Federal lands in the Piceance Basin. As a result of this ruling, the Company added 212 Bcf of proved gas reserves attributed to 202 additional well locations in the Piceance Basin. 12 As of April 30, 2001, including the increased well density in the Piceance Basin and other additions resulting from on-going drilling activities, the Company's total proved gas and oil reserves were 2.1 trillion cubic feet of gas equivalents, or an increase of 53 percent over the December 31, 2000 volumes. The incremental proved reserves consist of 645 Bcf and 54 Bcf of gas reserves in the Piceance and Powder River Basins, respectively, and 37 Bcfe of oil and gas reserves in the Uinta Basin. The Company expects cash flow from its producing properties and its borrowing capacity to be sufficient to fund its anticipated capital and operating requirements, including any contingencies. The Company's operating results are directly affected by oil and gas prices. Oil and gas prices also affect the reserve values used in determining the "ceiling test" limitation for the Company's capitalized oil and gas property costs accounted for under the full cost method. Should the net capitalized costs of the Company's oil and gas properties exceed the estimated present value of future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, such excess costs would be recognized as an impairment and charged to current expense. A decline in oil and gas sales prices could possibly result in the recognition of an impairment expense in future periods. Results of Operations For the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Company earned net income of $57.0 million ($1.67 per share), compared to net income of $7.8 million ($0.24 per share) in 2000. Excluding the effects of the unrealized non-cash mark to market gains and losses and related income tax effects, the Company's net income for 2001 and 2000 would have been $47.9 million ($1.40 per share) and $8.4 million ($0.26 per share), respectively. Operating income for the 2001 quarter was $96.5 million, an increase of $78.3 million compared to $18.2 million for the same period in 2000. This increase is primarily attributable to higher average sales prices received for gas in the 2001 quarter. Production revenues and related volumes and average prices during the periods presented were as follows:

(Note: Bcf = billion cubic feet; Mcf = thousand cubic feet; MBbls = thousand barrels.) First quarter gas revenues increased 154 percent as compared with the same period in 2000, principally due to a 153 percent increase in average prices. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company recognized net production hedging losses of approximately $31.2 million and $0.4 million of expense associated with ineffective hedge assessment (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), which were recorded in the consolidated statements of income as adjustments to gas production revenue. 13 The nine percent decrease in the first quarter 2001 oil revenues from the same period in 2000 is attributed to a five percent decrease in average oil prices received together with a four percent decrease in oil production volumes. The decrease in oil production volumes is principally attributable to the sale of the Company's Permian Basin oil properties, effective February 1, 2000. Lease operating expenses of $25.9 million averaged $0.85 per Mcfe compared to $0.38 per Mcfe in 2000. The increase is primarily attributable to higher average sales prices received in 2001 resulting in increases in value related production and ad valorem taxes and net profits expense. Transportation and gathering expenses for the first quarter of 2001 averaged $0.35 per Mcfe compared to $0.22 per Mcfe for 2000. Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased $1.1 million. On a per unit of production basis, depletion rates were unchanged and averaged $0.80 per Mcfe for both 2001 and 2000. Depreciation expense averaged $0.06 per Mcfe for the 2001 quarter and $0.03 per Mcfe for the same period of 2000. The increase in depreciation is due to the acquisitions of additional gas gathering and compression facilities in the Raton Basin in the fourth quarter of 2000 and first quarter of 2001. Interest expense for the first quarter of 2001, net of capitalized interest of $1.4 million, decreased five percent ($0.3 million) compared to the same period of 2000. The decrease is a result of lower debt outstanding during the 2001 quarter. The Company reports its trading activities on a net basis (trading revenues net of associated costs). Excluding unrealized mark to market adjustments, the Company's net trading activities decreased from a $1.3 million gain in the first quarter of 2000 to an $11.3 million loss in 2001. Gas trading volumes decreased 51 percent from 118.6 Bcf in the first quarter of 2000 to 58.3 Bcf for 2001. High volatility and higher gas prices resulted in higher settlement costs on fixed price sales and financial derivative positions. The Company's first quarter 2001 other expense includes $1.9 million of costs associated with the Company's response to a hostile tender offer commenced on March 7, 2001. The Company's largest source of operating income is from gas and oil production. The levels of the Company's revenues and earnings from gas and oil production and trading activities are affected by prices at which natural gas and oil are being sold. This is particularly true with respect to natural gas, which accounted for approximately 97 percent of the Company's production revenue for the first quarter of 2001. As a result, the Company's operating results for any prior period are not necessarily indicative of future operating results because of the fluctuations in gas and oil prices and the lack of predictability of those fluctuations as well as changes in production levels. Item 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Commodity Price Risk Commodity financial instruments are intended to reduce the Company's exposure to declines in the market price of natural gas and oil. Such instruments may also limit the Company's gain from increases in the market price of natural gas and oil. Fluctuations or changes in the settlement values of commodity financial instruments are generally offset by similar changes in the realized price of natural gas and oil. The Company uses commodity derivative financial instruments, including futures and swaps, to reduce the effect of natural gas price volatility on a portion of its natural gas production. Commodity swap agreements are generally used to fix a price at the natural gas market location or to fix a price differential between two pricing 14 points. Settlements are based on the difference between a fixed and a variable price as specified in the agreement. The following table summarizes the Company's derivative financial instrument position on its natural gas production as of March 31, 2001. The fair value of these instruments reflected in the table below is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or (pay) to settle the contracts as of March 31, 2001. Actual settlement of these instruments when they mature will differ from these estimates reflected in the table. Gains or losses realized from these instruments hedging the Company's production are expected to be offset by changes in the actual sales price received by the Company for its natural gas production.

The Company also uses commodity derivative financial instruments and contracts for the purchase and sale of natural gas at both fixed and indexed based prices in its trading activities. The financial instruments seek to reduce sensitivity to price movements, to lock in margins on its trading positions and to hedge the value of stored gas. The following tables summarize the Company's derivative positions on its natural gas trading activities as of March 31, 2001. The fair value of these instruments reflects the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or (pay) to settle the contracts as of March 31, 2001. Actual settlement of these instruments as they mature will differ from these estimates. CONTRACTS TO PURCHASE NATURAL GAS

* Volumes presented in this table represent the Company's net position. A positive position indicates a net purchase position; a negative position indicates a net sell position. Interest Rate Risk The Company's use of fixed and variable rate long-term debt to partially finance capital expenditures exposes the Company to market risk related to changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2001, there have been no material changes in the Company's interest rate risk exposure, from that disclosed in the 2000 Form 10-K. This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements and the assumptions upon which such forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations and assumptions will prove to have been correct. See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional statements concerning important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 6. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS On May 7, 2001, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with the Williams Companies, Inc. ("Williams") and Williams' wholly-owned subsidiary Resources Acquisition Corp. ("Acquiror") in a transaction valued at approximately $2.8 billion, including the assumption of approximately $300 million in debt. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on May 14, 2001 Williams, through Acquiror, commenced a cash tender offer at $73.00 per share for 50 percent of the Company's outstanding common stock (the "Offer").
