PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are derived from the historical financial statements of Chesapeake Energy Corporation and Columbia Energy Resources, LLC (“Columbia”). The pro forma combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2004 reflect the Columbia acquisition as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2004. The pro forma combined balance sheet at September 30, 2005 reflects the consummation of the Columbia acquisition as if it occurred on September 30, 2005. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto and the historical financial statements of Chesapeake and Columbia, including the notes thereto.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that would actually have occurred if the transaction described had occurred as presented in such statements or that may occur in the future. In addition, future results may vary significantly from the results reflected in such statements due to general economic conditions, oil and gas commodity prices, Chesapeake’s ability to successfully integrate the operations of Columbia with its current business and several other factors, many of which are beyond Chesapeake’s control.
The Columbia acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase cost will be allocated to the identifiable Columbia tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their respective fair values, including derivatives whose valuation will be dependent upon gas prices at the time of closing. The final allocation of the actual purchase price is subject to the final valuation of the acquired assets, but that allocation is not expected to differ materially from the preliminary allocation presented in these pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
(a) | The purchase price reflects the payment of $2.2 billion in exchange for 100% of the membership interests in Columbia Energy Resources, LLC (“Columbia”). The purchase price also reflects Chesapeake’s obligation to repay any amounts outstanding under Columbia’s revolving bank credit facility in excess of $713.8 million. The adjustment to oil and gas properties is based on the estimated fair value of the reserves and underlying leasehold (proved and unproved) associated with the acquired property interests. These preliminary values are based upon internally prepared reserve estimates of the acquired properties, for which reserve estimates will be finalized subsequent to the acquisition. Other property and equipment reflects the estimated fair value of the acquired mid-stream assets. The adjustment to current liabilities reflects the estimated fair value of a prepaid sales obligation of Columbia. The adjustment to debt removes $714 million of borrowings under Columbia’s credit facility that will be paid by the seller and $61 million to be assumed and refinanced utilizing our revolving bank credit facility. The adjustments to accumulated DD&A and stockholders’ equity remove historical amounts not to be reflected in our purchase price allocation. Below is a summary of the purchase price allocation to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed ($ in 000’s): |
Cash payment | $ | 2,200,000 | |
Assumed debt | 61,200 | ||

(b) | To record DD&A expense of oil and gas properties using a rate of $1.75 per mcfe in 2004 and $1.93 per mcfe in 2005. These rates reflect the impact of the allocation of purchase price to Columbia’s proved oil and gas properties and the impact that the addition of these properties would have had on our historical DD&A rate. |
(c) | To record taxes for Columbia (previously a non-taxable entity) and the tax effects of the pro forma adjustments at a statutory rate of 40%. |
(d) | For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, and the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, diluted shares do not include the common stock equivalent of the preferred stock issuance described in Note (f) as the effect was antidilutive. |
(e) | To eliminate interest expense related to the approximately $714 million of borrowings under Columbia’s credit facility that will be paid by the seller from the purchase price consideration and will not be assumed by Chesapeake in the acquisition. |
(f) | To reflect the estimated impact of the issuance of the following securities and drawdown of our credit facility to fund our pending acquisition of Columbia on both the balance sheet and the income statement: |
Security | Term | Coupon | Amount | |||
• Convertible Senior Notes | 30 yr | 1.75% | $600 million | |||
• Convertible Preferred | Perpetual | 4.50% | $500 million | |||
• Senior Notes | 20 yr | 6.875% | $400 million |
After deducting the estimated fees and expenses associated with these offerings of $35 million, we anticipate that the net cash proceeds would be approximately $1,465 million. For purposes of these pro forma financial statements, it is assumed that the remainder ($796.5 million) of the purchase price will be funded using borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We intend to finance the Columbia acquisition utilizing the proceeds from the three offerings described above, although none of the offerings are conditioned on the others, and the acquisition is not conditional on the offerings. Should any of the offerings described above be unsuccessful, we will finance a portion of the acquisition with borrowings from a new bridge loan commitment, which loan currently would have an interest rate of 6.75%. If our convertible preferred offering is unsuccessful, we will finance the acquisition entirely with debt. In such case, our total long-term debt as of the closing date would be $6.4 billion.
(g) | To reflect the reversal of Columbia’s historical exploration costs that are expensed under the successful efforts method of accounting and are capitalized under the full cost method of accounting used by Chesapeake. |
(h) | To record the dividends required on the convertible preferred stock issuance described in Note (f). |
(i) | To adjust interest expense for the interest capitalized on the acquired oil and gas properties not subject to amortization. |
6
(j) | To reflect the reversal of Columbia’s historical gain related to the sale of oil and gas properties which are reflected as a reduction of oil and gas properties under the full cost method of accounting. |
(k) | To reflect depreciation expense related to the incremental increase in the value of the property and equipment (non-oil and gas properties) acquired over an estimated useful life of 15 years. |
(l) | To adjust deferred taxes for the temporary differences related to the assumed derivative positions and the assumed liability associated with forward gas sales. We will obtain tax basis in acquired assets and liabilities for the total cash consideration paid. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustment reflects the recognition of the expected current deferred tax asset and a corresponding long term deferred tax liability. |
(m) | To reflect interest expense incurred related to the issuance of $600 million of Convertible Senior Notes and $400 million of Senior Notes as well as $796 million of borrowings under Chesapeake’s revolving bank credit facility. |

SUMMARY PRO FORMA OIL AND GAS RESERVE DATA OF THE COMBINED COMPANY
The following table sets forth summary pro forma information with respect to Chesapeake’s and Columbia’s combined estimated net proved oil and gas reserves as of December 31, 2004. Since Columbia elected to be treated as a partnership, it did not include the effect of future income taxes in the information below. The pro forma adjustments below reflect the estimated impact of future income tax on future net cash flows.
