          September 28,1994



























                                                                          3





          Report of Independent Accountants


          To the Salaried Employees' Stock
               Purchase Plan Committee:

          We have audited the balance sheet of the Salaried Employees'
          Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") of Chesapeake Corporation and
          participating subsidiaries as of June 30, 1994 and 1993, and the
          related statement of changes in plan equity for each of the three
          fiscal years in the period ended June 30, 1994.  These financial
          statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
          responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statement presentation.  We believe that
          our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

          In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
          present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
          of the Plan as of June 30, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in plan
          equity for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended
          June 30, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
          principles.

                            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


          1.   Description of the Plan:

          In 1974, the stockholders of Chesapeake Corporation (the 
          "Corporation") approved the Salaried Employees' Stock Purchase
          Plan (the "Plan") and reserved a total of 1,350,000 shares of the
          Corporation's common stock for sale to eligible full-time
          salaried employees of the Corporation and participating
          subsidiaries (the "Employer"). In June 1987, the Corporation
          reserved an additional 600,000 shares of its common stock for
          sale to participants of the Plan, which increased the shares
          reserved for the Plan to 1,950,000 shares.  In March 1994, the
          Corporation reserved an additional 750,000 shares of its common
          stock for sale to participants of the Plan after July 1, 1994.

          Participants in the Plan are permitted to invest up to 5% of
          their basic compensation. The Employer contributes to the Plan,
          as of the end of the Plan Year (June 30), an amount equal to 30%
          of the participant's contribution reduced by amounts required to
          be withheld under income tax, F.I.C.A. and comparable laws.  The
          combined amount becomes available to purchase from the
          Corporation shares of its common stock at a price equal to the
          average of the closing prices of such common stock on the New
          York Stock Exchange (composite tape) for the 20 consecutive
          trading days immediately preceding the last day of the Plan year.

          As of June 30, 1994, 1,837,559 shares (86,439 shares in the
          current year and 1,751,120 in prior years) of the Corporation's
          common stock had been issued under the Plan and 112,441 shares
          were available for future issuance.

           2.  Plan Year:

          The fiscal year of the Plan (the "Plan Year") ends each June 30. 
          Beginning March 31, 1995, the Plan year will end each March 31.

           3.  Funds Held by Chesapeake Corporation and Participating  
          Subsidiaries:

          Funds received or held by the Employer with respect to the Plan
          may be used for any corporate purpose; therefore, the Plan does
          not prevent the Employer from creating a lien on these funds.

          4.  Taxes and Expenses:

          The Employer's contribution, when made to the Plan, is taxable to
          a participant as ordinary income.  Purchases of stock by the Plan
          result in no gain or loss to the participant; therefore, no tax
          consequences are incurred by a participant upon receipt of stock
          purchased under the Plan.  Sale by a participant of shares
          acquired under the Plan will result in a gain or loss in an
          amount equal to the difference between the sale price and the
          price paid for the stock acquired pursuant to the Plan.  The Plan
          is not subject to income taxes.

          Expenses of administering the Plan are borne by the Employer.

                                                                          7
