CHIEFTAIN INTERNATIONAL FUNDING CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2000 and 1999

(unaudited)

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, 2000 and December 31,
     1999 and the results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended
     September 30, 2000 and 1999. Certain information and notes normally
     included in Funding Corp.'s financial statements prepared in accordance
     with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
     or omitted for interim reporting pursuant to the rules and regulations of
     the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements should
     be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto
     included in Funding Corp.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
     December 31, 1999.

     Preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
     accounting principles requires management to make informed judgements and
     estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

     The results of operations and cash flows for the nine month period ended
     September 30, 2000 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. and its parent company file corporate income tax returns on a
     consolidated  basis. As a result,  income taxes payable have been offset by
     the parent  company's  tax losses and are  reflected in the amount due from
     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 - Nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

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 2000 and 1999.

Interest earned on short-term notes for the first nine months of 2000 was
$266,654, a 77% increase from the amount earned in the comparable 1999 period.
Such increase resulted from a 44% increase in average investment yield and a 24%
increase in the average amount invested compared to the 1999 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 increased to $692,387 for the first nine months
of 2000 compared with $620,816 for the 1999 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, 2000 and 1999 were $62,236 and $102,291,
respectively.

Information Regarding Forward Looking Financial Statements

This 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risk factors
