REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Chesapeake Energy Corporation
We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and direct operating
expenses of the Amerada Hess Properties, as defined in Note 1, for the
year ended June 30, 1995. This statement is the responsibility of
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the statement is free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the statement. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying statement of revenues and direct operating expenses of the
Amerada Hess Properties was prepared for the purpose of complying with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for
inclusion in the Form 8-K of Chesapeake Energy Corporation dated April 30,
1996) as described in Note 2 and is not intended to be a complete presentation
of the revenues and expenses of the Amerada Hess Properties.
In our opinion, the statement referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the revenues and direct operating expenses of the
Amerada Hess Properties (and was prepared as described in Note 2 of
the statement) for the year ended June 30, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

AMERADA HESS PROPERTIES
NOTES TO THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES
AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES
NOTE 1 - THE PROPERTIES
- -----------------------
On April 30, 1996, Chesapeake Energy Corporation (the "Company") purchased
interests in certain producing and nonproducing oil and gas properties
(collectively, the "Amerada Hess Properties") from the Amerada Hess
Corporation ("Amerada Hess") for $35 million, subject to adjustment for
activity after the effective date of January 1, 1996. The Amerada Hess
Properties, most of which are operated by the Company, are located in
the Knox and Golden Trend fields of southern Oklahoma. The Company
estimates that it acquired approximately 58 billion cubic feet equivalent
("Bcfe") of proved oil and gas reserves. Additionally, the Company acquired
approximately 14,000 net acres of unevaluated leasehold.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ------------------------------
During the periods presented, the Amerada Hess Properties were owned by
Amerada Hess and were not accounted for as a separate entity. Certain
costs, such as general and administrative expenses, interest expense
and corporate taxes were not allocated to the Amerada Hess Properties
by Amerada Hess. Accordingly, full separate financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles do not exist
and are not practicable to obtain in these circumstances.
The Statement of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses (the "Statement")
was derived from the historical accounting records that the Company main-
tains as the Company is operator of substantially all of the Amerada
Hess Properties and represents only the net interests in the Amerada
Hess Properties acquired by the Company. Such information is presented on
the accrual basis of accounting. Depreciation, depletion and amortization,
general and administrative expenses, interest expense and income taxes are
not included. Accordingly, the Statement is not intended to present the
financial position and results of operations in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
- ----------------------------------
The Company serves as operator for substantially all of the wells included
in the Amerada Hess Properties.
NOTE 4 - SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS INFORMATION (Unaudited)
- ---------------------------------------------------------
Information with respect to historical oil and gas producing activities of
the Amerada Hess Properties acquired by the Company is presented in the
following tables in compliance with FASB Statement No. 69 "Disclosures
About Oil and Gas Producing Activities". Reserve information with regard
to the Amerada Hess Properties is based on the June 30, 1995 reserve report
prepared internally by the Company in accordance with regulations prescribed
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
<PAGE>
Estimated Proved Reserves
- -------------------------
Proved reserves are estimated quantities of crude oil and natural gas which
geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be
recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic
and operating conditions. Proved developed reserves are those which
are expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment
and operating methods. The following table sets forth proved and proved
developed reserves for the Amerada Hess Properties as of June 30, 1995 and
the related changes in such reserves for the year ended June 30, 1995
(unaudited):

==========
</TABLE>
Future cash inflows were estimated by applying June 30, 1995 prices to
the estimated future production of proved reserves. Such prices were
$17.67 per Bbl and $1.65 per Mcf. The future revenue streams were
reduced by estimated future operating costs (including production taxes)
and future development and abandonment costs, all of which were based on
current costs to determine the pretax net cash inflows. Future net
cash inflows were discounted using a 10% annual discount rate to arrive
at the standardized measure of future net cash flows.

The information presented with respect to estimated future net revenues
and cash flows and the present value thereof is not intended to
represent the fair value of oil and gas reserves. Actual future prices and
production and development costs may vary significantly from those in effect
at June 30, 1995, and actual future production may not occur in the periods
or amounts projected. This information is presented to allow a reasonable
comparison of reserve values prepared using standardized measurement
criteria and should be used only for that purpose.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 - Summary of Transaction and Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------------------------------------------
On April 30, 1996, Chesapeake Energy Corporation (the "Company") purchased
interests in certain producing and nonproducing oil and gas properties
(collectively, the "Amerada Hess Properties") from the Amerada Hess
Corporation ("Amerada Hess") for $35 million, subject to adjustment for
activity after the effective date of January 1, 1996. The properties, most
of which are operated by the Company, are located in the Knox and
Golden Trend fields of southern Oklahoma. The Company estimates that it ac-
quired approximately 58 billion cubic feet equivalent ("Bcfe") of proved oil
and gas reserves. Additionally, the Company acquired approximately 14,000
net acres of unevaluated leasehold.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial statements are presented to
reflect the acquisition of the Amerada Hess Properties. The unaudited Pro
Forma Balance Sheet is presented as if the acquisition of the Amerada Hess
Properties occurred on March 31, 1996. The unaudited Pro Forma Statements
of Operations for the year ended June 30, 1995, and the nine months ended
March 31, 1996, are presented as if the acquisition occurred on July 1,
1994. The pro forma financial statements are presented based on adjustments
to the historical financial statements of the Company, and the audited
Statement of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses of the Amerada Hess
Properties, and are not necessarily indicative of future operations
for the Company. During the periods presented, the Amerada Hess Properties
were owned by Amerada Hess and were not accounted for as a separate entity.
Certain costs, such as general and administrative expenses, interest
expense and corporate taxes were not allocated to the Amerada Hess Properties
by Amerada Hess. Accordingly, full separate financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles do not exist and
are not practicable to obtain in these circumstances.
Note 2 - Pro Forma Adjustments (unaudited)
- ------------------------------------------
The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and Statements
of Operations reflect the following adjustments:
(a) - To reflect the use of debt proceeds for the acquisition of the Amerada
Hess Properties. The purchase price of the assets acquired was allocated as
follows (in thousands):
Proved oil & gas properties $ 24,560
Unevaluated oil & gas properties 14,024
Joint interest billing accounts receivable 160
--------
$ 38,744
========
(b) - To adjust depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") calculated
on the pro forma balance of oil and natural gas properties subject to
amortization. DD&A for oil and natural gas properties is computed using
the unit of production method at a rate of $0.80 per Mcfe for the year ended
June 30, 1995 and $0.83 per Mcfe for the nine months ended March 31, 1996.
(c) - No additional general and administrative expenses are expected to be
incurred with the acquisition of the Amerada Hess Properties, as the Company
already held an interest in, and is the operator of, substantially all of
the properties.
(d) - To reflect interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, on borrowings
made to fund the purchase of the Amerada Hess Properties.

1994. The information is based on prices in effect as of June 30, 1995, and
current costs, discounted at a rate of 10% per year. Future income tax expense
is computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to the future
pre-tax net cash flows relating to estimated proved oil and gas reserves, net
of the tax basis of the properties involved and tax credits (unaudited).
