CHIEFTAIN INTERNATIONAL FUNDING CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2001 and 2000

(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 June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and
     the results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30,
     2001 and 2000. 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,
     2000.

     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 six month period ended
     June 30, 2001 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.

4.   Subsequent events:

     Subsequent to June 30, 2001, 2,582,377 $1.8125 convertible redeemable
     preferred shares were converted. This was facilitated by the issuance of
     3,227,959 Funding Corp. common shares to its parent company and also
     resulted in a charge to retained earnings of approximately $33 million.

     Pursuant to its Offer to Purchase dated June 28, 2001, Hunt Oil Company,
     through its wholly-owned subsidiary Hunt Oil Canadian Acquisition III
     Corporation, accepted the 19,025,501 common shares of Chieftain
     International, Inc., Funding Corp's ultimate parent, which were tendered to
     the Offer on August 3, 2001.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Chieftain International Funding Corp., a special purpose subsidiary of Chieftain
