CHIEFTAIN INTERNATIONAL FUNDING CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation:
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 September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997
and the results of operations and changes in financial position for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.
The results of operations and changes in financial position for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.
2. Preferred Shares:
The Articles of Funding Corp. authorize the issuance of a maximum of
10,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $1.00 each.
In 1992, Funding Corp. sold 2,726,700 shares of $1.8125 convertible
redeemable preferred stock at $25.00 per share through an underwritten
public offering in the United States. 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
utilization of the parent company's operating loss.
The tax benefit relating to loss utilization has been deducted from the
amount owing by the parent company.

Item 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
To be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated condensed financial
statements.
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.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997
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
$4,268,438 for each of the first nine months of 1998 and 1997.
Interest earned on short-term notes for the first nine months of 1998 was
$153,069, a 17% increase from the amount earned in the comparable 1997 period.
Such increase resulted from a 6% decrease in average investment yield and a 22%
increase in the average amount invested compared to the 1997 first nine months.
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 decreased to $554,488 for the first nine months
of 1998 compared with $615,974 for the 1997 comparable period. Funds not
required for current working capital were invested in short-term notes issued
and payable by the parent company.
Cash balances at September 30, 1998 and 1997 were $93,657 and $129,558,
respectively.
YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE
All internal computer related services are performed by Chieftain International,
Inc., the ultimate parent of the Company, which has informed us that it is
confident that such services should continue to be provided after Year 2000
subject to further assurances sought from third parties. The Company's
assessment of third parties' readiness is in process and expected to be complete
by June 30, 1999. The Company is confident that any Year 2000 related computer
problems are not likely to result in any material loss of revenue. Related costs
are not expected to be material.
