                     CHIEFTAIN INTERNATIONAL FUNDING CORP.
 
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.   In the opinion of Chieftain International Funding Corp. ("Funding Corp."),
     the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments
     (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present
     fairly the financial position as at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996
     and the results of operations and changes in financial position for the
     three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.
 
     The results of operations and changes in financial position for the three
     month period ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
     results to be expected for the full year.
 
2.   PREFERRED SHARES:
 
     The Articles of Funding Corp. authorize the issue of a maximum of
     10,000,000 preferred shares with a par value $1.00 each.
 
     On November 6, 1992, Funding Corp. sold 2,400,000 shares of $1.8125
     convertible redeemable preferred stock at $25.00 per share through an
     underwritten public offering in the United States. On December 2, 1992,
     Funding Corp. sold an additional 326,700 preferred shares pursuant to an
     over-allotment option granted to the underwriters, resulting in a total
     issuance of 2,726,700 shares. Proceeds of the issuance of preferred shares
     net of offering costs of $4.7 million, were $63.4 million.
 
3.   INCOME TAXES:
 
     Funding Corp. follows the tax allocation method of accounting for the tax
     effect of all timing differences between taxable income and accounting
     income.
 
     Funding Corp. and its parent file their corporate income tax return on a
     consolidated basis. As a result, the current taxes payable will be offset
     by utilizing the parent company's operating loss.
 
     The tax benefit relating to loss utilization has been deducted from the
     amount owing by the parent company.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     Chieftain International Funding Corp., a special purpose subsidiary of
Chieftain International (U.S.) Inc., was formed in 1992 for the primary purpose
of financing the U.S. business operations of its parent.
 
ANALYSIS OF OPERATING RESULTS -- THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996
 
     Funding Corp.'s income is derived from dividends on preferred shares and
interest on short-term notes, all of which are issued by its parent company,
Chieftain International (U.S.) Inc.
 
     Dividends received on 3,140,000 redeemable Class B preferred shares
amounted to $1,422,813 for each of the first quarters of 1997 and 1996.
 
     Interest earned on short-term notes for the first quarter of 1997 was
$39,652, a 30% increase from the amount earned in the comparable 1996 period.
Such increase resulted from a 4% decrease in average investment yield and a 38%
increase in the average amount invested compared to the 1996 first quarter.
Future dividend income is expected to remain constant while interest income
should increase, subject to rate fluctuations, reflecting increases in
short-term investment amounts.
 
     Income taxes are calculated on interest income less general and
administrative costs. Dividends received from the parent are tax exempt.
 
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
 
     Funding Corp. is dependent upon the dividend income from its investment in
preferred shares of its parent company to provide funds for payment of dividends
on its publicly-held preferred shares.
 
     Funds provided from operations increased to $197,893 for the first quarter
of 1997 compared with $166,769 for the 1996 comparable period. Funds not
required for current working capital purposes were invested in short-term notes
issued and payable by the parent company.
 
     Cash balances at March 31, 1997 and 1996 were $87,015 and $68,009,
respectively.
