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.
