UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008

Introduction

     On June 3, 2008, Devon Energy Corporation (“Devon”) announced it had completed the sale of its oil and gas assets in the African nation of Equatorial Guinea to GEPetrol, the national oil company of Equatorial Guinea. The sale price was $2.2 billion before taxes, $1.7 billion after taxes, based on an effective date of January 1, 2008. Pursuant to the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, the proceeds were subject to additional purchase price adjustments which consisted primarily of net cash flow subsequent to the effective date of the sale. As a result of such purchase price adjustments, Devon received approximately $1.6 billion in net, after-tax proceeds at closing.

     Pursuant to accounting rules for discontinued operations, Devon has classified all financial amounts related to its operations in Equatorial Guinea as discontinued operations in its historical financial statements. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet includes Devon’s total operations. As a result, assets and liabilities related to Devon’s discontinued operations in Equatorial Guinea are included in the balance sheet. However, the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations only include Devon’s continuing operations. Therefore, all revenues and expenses associated with Devon’s operations in Equatorial Guinea are excluded from the accompanying statements of operations.

     Devon has previously disclosed that it intends to use the proceeds from the sales of its operations in Equatorial Guinea and other West African countries to repay outstanding commercial paper and revolving credit facility borrowings and resume common stock repurchases. The pro forma adjustments in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements assume all proceeds were used to repay outstanding commercial paper and revolving credit facility borrowings.

     The adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions. Therefore, actual results may differ from the pro forma adjustments. However, management believes that the estimates and assumptions used provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the sale of Devon’s assets in Equatorial Guinea. Management also believes the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to the estimates and assumptions and are applied in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not assert to present Devon’s results of operations had the Equatorial Guinea sale been completed at the dates indicated. In addition, they do not project Devon’s results of operations for any future period.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

     The historical condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2008 and historical condensed statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 is derived from and should be read in conjunction with Devon’s unaudited financial statements in its March 31, 2008 Form 10-Q, which was filed on May 8, 2008. The historical condensed statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 is derived from and should be read in conjunction with Devon’s audited financial statements in its December 31, 2007 Form 10-K/A, which was filed on June 9, 2008.

     The pro forma adjustments in the accompanying condensed balance sheet have been prepared as if the sale of Devon’s operations in Equatorial Guinea was completed on March 31, 2008. The pro forma adjustments in the accompanying condensed statements of operations have been prepared as if the sale of Devon’s operations in Equatorial Guinea was completed on January 1, 2007.

     These pro forma financial statements do not purport to be indicative of the financial position or results of operations of Devon as of such date or for such periods, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results.

2. Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give pro forma effect to the following:

     (a) Reflects proceeds received of approximately $1,553 million and the elimination of approximately $747 million of net assets related to Devon’s operations in Equatorial Guinea. The difference between these two amounts of approximately $806 million represents the financial gain on the sale, assuming the sale had closed on March 31, 2008.

     (b) Reflects the repayment of approximately $1,446 million of outstanding commercial paper borrowings and $107 million of Senior Credit Facility borrowings.

     (c) Reflects the elimination of interest expense of approximately $83 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, and approximately $17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, related to the repayment of outstanding debt.

     (d) Reflects additional current income tax expense of approximately $30 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, and approximately $6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, related to the elimination of interest expense as described in (c) above.
