      contamination. During 1996, the Company completed construction and began Air

      has been reporting the remediation and monitoring results to the MDE on an

      decommission permanently the AS/SVE system and to discontinue all on-site and
      off-site well monitoring, except for one well that is being maintained for
      continued product monitoring and recovery. Chesapeake has requested a No Further

      has
      been working with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (&#8220;FDEP&#8221;) in
      assessing this coal gas site. In May 1996, the Company filed an AS/SVE Pilot
      Study Work Plan (the &#8220;Work Plan&#8221;) for the Winter Haven Coal Gas site with the
      FDEP. After discussions with the FDEP, the Company filed a modified Work Plan,
      which contained a description of the scope of work to complete the site
      assessment activities and a report describing a limited sediment investigation
      performed in 1997. In December 1998, the FDEP approved the modified Work Plan,
      which the Company completed during the third quarter of 1999. In February 2001,
      the Company filed a Remedial Action Plan (&#8220;RAP&#8221;) with the FDEP to address the
      contamination of the subsurface soil and ground-water in a portion of the site.
      The FDEP approved the RAP on May 4, 2001. Construction of the AS/SVE system
      was
      completed in the fourth quarter of 2002 and the system remains fully

      At
      March 31, 2007, the Company had collected, through rates, $65,000 in excess
      of
      costs incurred. In addition, a regulatory asset of approximately $104,000,

      FDEP
      has indicated that the Company may be required to remediate sediments along
      the
      shoreline of Lake Shipp, immediately west of the Winter Haven Coal Gas site.
      Based on studies performed to date, the Company objects to the FDEP&#8217;s suggestion
      that the sediments have been contaminated and will require remediation. The
      Company&#8217;s early estimates indicate that some of the corrective measures
      discussed by the FDEP may cost as much as $1 million. Given the Company&#8217;s view
      as to the absence of ecological effects, the Company believes that cost
      expenditures of this magnitude are unwarranted and plans to oppose any
      requirement that it undertake corrective measures in the offshore sediments.
      Chesapeake anticipates that it will be several years before this issue is
      resolved. At this time, the Company has not recorded a liability for sediment
      remediation. The outcome of this matter cannot be predicted at this
      time.</font></div>

      for public utilities and other regulated operations where the rates (prices)
      charged to customers are subject to regulatory review and approval. Regulators
      sometimes include allowable costs in a period other than the period in which
      the
      costs would be charged to expense by an unregulated enterprise. That procedure
      can create assets, reduce assets, or create liabilities for the regulated
      enterprise. For financial reporting, an incurred cost for which a regulator
      permits recovery in a future period is accounted for like an incurred cost
      that
      is reimbursable under a cost-reimbursement type contract. The Company believes
      that all regulatory assets as of March 31, 2007 are probable of recovery through

      filed with the Delaware Public Service Commission (&#8220;Delaware PSC&#8221;) on September
      1, 2006, the Division of the Public Advocate (&#8220;DPA&#8221;) has recommended a cost
      disallowance of approximately $4.4 million related to the Delaware division&#8217;s
      commodity procurement purchases and a disallowance of approximately $275,000
      related to pipeline capacity the Delaware division holds in eastern Sussex
      County, Delaware. The Delaware PSC Staff has recommended a cost disallowance
      of
      approximately $2.2 million related to the Delaware division&#8217;s commodity
      procurement purchases and the deferral of approximately $535,000 related to
      pipeline capacity the Delaware division holds in eastern Sussex County,
      Delaware. The Company disagrees with these recommendations and intends to oppose
      vigorously any proposed cost disallowance and deferral. Under established
      Delaware law, gas procurement costs, like other normally accepted operating
      expenses, cannot be disallowed unless it is shown that the costs were the result
      of an abuse of discretion, bad faith, or waste. The Company submitted its
      rebuttal position on April 19, 2007. Management believes that the Company&#8217;s gas
      procurement practices and pipeline capacity costs were reasonable and that,
      in
      no event were the costs at issue incurred as a result of any abuse of
      discretion, bad faith, or waste on the part of the Company. Also in Management&#8217;s
      opinion, neither the DPA nor the Delaware PSC Staff has presented any evidence
      to support a finding of abuse of discretion, bad faith, or waste on the part
      of
      the Company. The Company expects a final decision by the Delaware PSC during
      the
      second or third quarter of 2007. At this time, the Company believes that it
      has
      strong defenses to the proposed disallowance of costs.</font></div>

      in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement
      applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
      measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting
      pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute.
      Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements.
      This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
      beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
      years. Chesapeake will be required to adopt SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter
      of
      2008. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact that SFAS No. 157 will have
      on its financial statements.</font></div>

      Company&#8217;s net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 increased $1.9
      million, or 31 percent, compared to the same period in 2006. Net income was
      $8.0
      million, or $1.18 per share (diluted), an increase of $0.17 per share compared
      to 2006. The year-over-year increase in earnings reflects an increase in the
      operating income at the Company&#8217;s natural gas and propane operations from
      continued growth and colder temperatures on the Delmarva Peninsula, which
      increased volumes sold to customers. The Company estimates that the growth
      and
      colder weather contributed $2.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively, to
      gross
      margin during the first quarter of 2007. </font></div>

      following discussions and those later in the document on operating income and
      segment results include use of the term &#8220;gross margin.&#8221; Gross margin is
      determined by deducting the cost of sales from operating revenue. Cost of sales
      includes the purchased gas cost for natural gas and propane and the cost of
      labor spent on direct revenue-producing activities. Gross margin should not
      be
      considered an alternative to operating income or net income, which are
      determined in accordance with GAAP. Chesapeake believes that gross margin,
      although a non-GAAP measure, is useful and meaningful to investors as a basis
      for making investment decisions. It provides investors with information that
      demonstrates the profitability achieved by the Company under its allowed rates
      for regulated operations and under its competitive pricing structure for

                the Delmarva Peninsula were 18 percent colder in 2007. The colder
                temperatures did not have a significant impact on the Maryland
                distribution operation&#8217;s gross margin in the first quarter of 2007 because
                the operation&#8217;s approved rate structure now includes a weather
                normalization adjustment (WNA) mechanism. The WNA mechanism was
                implemented in October 2006 and is designed to protect a portion
                of the
                Company&#8217;s revenues against warmer-than-normal weather as deviations from
                normal weather can affect our financial performance and liquidity.
                The WNA
                also serves to offset the impact of colder-than-normal weather by
                reducing

                above-normal levels of petroleum by-products contained in approximately
                75,000 gallons of propane that it purchased from the supplier. The

      Florida propane distribution operation experienced an increase in gross margin
      of $24,000, or six percent, in the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared
      to
      the same period in 2006. Gross margin from propane sales increased $13,000
      as a
      higher average gross margin per retail gallon was partially offset by a nine
      percent decrease in the volumes sold in 2007. The remaining increase of $11,000
      is attributed to higher in-house piping sales. Other operating expenses in
      the
      first quarter 2007 compared to the first quarter 2006 increased by $49,000
      due
      to an increase in corporate services and higher depreciation
      expense.</font></div>

      $214,000, or 41 percent, in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same
      period in 2006. This increase reflects the larger number of market opportunities
      that arose in 2007 due to price volatility in the propane wholesale market,
      which exceeded the level of price fluctuations experienced in 2006. The increase
      in gross margin was partially offset by higher other operating expenses of
      $30,000 primarily due to higher incentive compensation based on the increased
      earnings in 2007.</font></div>

      Board
      of Directors has authorized the Company to borrow up to $55.0 million of
      short-term debt from various banks and trust companies under short-term lines
      of
      credit. As of March 31, 2007, Chesapeake currently has four unsecured bank
      lines
      of credit with two financial institutions, totaling $80.0 million. These bank
      lines will provide funds for the Company&#8217;s short-term cash needs to meet
      seasonal working capital requirements and to temporarily fund portions of its
      capital expenditures. Two of the bank lines, totaling $15.0 million, are
      committed. The other two lines are subject to the availability of bank funds.
      The outstanding balance of short-term borrowing at March 31, 2007 and December
      31, 2006 was $21.5 million and $27.6 million, respectively.</font></div>

      has budgeted $45.5 million for capital expenditures during 2007. This amount
      includes $20.2 million for natural gas distribution, $16.5 million for natural
      gas transmission, $7.5 million for propane distribution and wholesale marketing,
      $154,000 for advanced information services and $915,000 for other operations.
      The natural gas distribution and transmission expenditures are for expansion
      and
      improvement of facilities. The propane expenditures are to support customer
      growth and the replacement of equipment. The advanced information services
      expenditures are for computer hardware, software and related equipment. The
      other operations category includes general plant, computer software and
      hardware. Financing for the 2007 capital expenditure program is expected from
      short-term borrowing, cash provided by operating activities, and other sources.
      The capital expenditure program is subject to continuous review and
      modification. Actual capital requirements may vary from the above estimates
      due
      to a number of factors, including acquisition opportunities, changing economic
      conditions, customer growth in existing areas, regulation, new growth
      opportunities and availability of capital.</font></div>

      of
      March 31, 2007, common equity represented 63 percent of total capitalization,
      compared to 61 percent at December 31, 2006. If short-term borrowing and the
      current portion of long-term debt were included in total capitalization, the
      equity component of the Company&#8217;s capitalization would have been 54 percent and
      51 percent at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Chesapeake
      remains committed to maintaining a sound capital structure and strong credit
      ratings to provide the financial flexibility needed to access capital markets
      when required. This commitment, along with adequate and timely rate relief
      for
      the Company&#8217;s regulated operations, is intended to ensure that Chesapeake will
      be able to attract capital from outside sources at a reasonable cost. The
      Company believes that the achievement of these objectives will provide benefits
      to customers and creditors, as well as to the Company&#8217;s investors.</font></div>

      September 1, 2006, the Company filed with the Delaware Public Service Commission
      (&#8220;Delaware PSC&#8221;) its annual Gas Sales Service Rates Application (&#8220;GSR&#8221;) seeking
      the approval of the Delaware PSC to change its GSR rates effective for service
      rendered on and after November 1, 2006. On October 3, 2006, the Delaware PSC
      authorized the Company to implement the GSR charges on a temporary basis and
      subject to refund, pending the completion of full evidentiary hearings and
      a
      final decision by the Delaware PSC. The Division of the Public Advocate (&#8220;DPA&#8221;)
      has recommended a cost disallowance of approximately $4.4 million related to
      the
      Delaware division&#8217;s commodity procurement purchases and a disallowance of
      approximately $275,000 related to pipeline capacity the Delaware division holds
      in eastern Sussex County, Delaware. The Delaware PSC Staff has recommended
      a
      cost disallowance of approximately $2.2 million related to the Delaware
      division&#8217;s commodity procurement purchases and the deferral of approximately
      $535,000 related to pipeline capacity the Delaware division holds in eastern
      Sussex County, Delaware. The Company disagrees with these recommendations and
      intends to oppose vigorously any proposed cost disallowance and deferral. Under
      established Delaware law, gas procurement costs, like other normally accepted
      operating expenses, cannot be disallowed unless it is shown that the costs
      were
      the result of an abuse of discretion, bad faith, or waste. The Company submitted
      its rebuttal position on April 19, 2007. Management believes that the Company&#8217;s
      gas procurement practices and pipeline capacity costs were reasonable and that,
      in no event were the costs at issue incurred as a result of any abuse of
      discretion, bad faith, or waste on the part of the Company. In Management&#8217;s
      opinion, neither the DPA nor the Delaware PSC Staff has presented any evidence
      to support a finding of abuse of discretion, bad faith, or waste on the part
      of
      the Company. The Company expects a final decision by the Delaware PSC during
      the
      second or third quarter of 2007. At this time, the Company believes that it
      has
      valid defenses to the proposed disallowance of costs. </font></div>

      September 2, 2005, the Delaware division filed an application with the Delaware
      PSC requesting approval of an alternative rate design and rate structure in
      order to provide natural gas service to prospective customers in eastern Sussex
      County. While Chesapeake does provide natural gas service to residents and
      businesses in portions of Sussex County, under the Company&#8217;s current tariff,
      natural gas distribution lines have not been extended to a large portion of
      the
      State of Delaware&#8217;s recently targeted growth areas in eastern Sussex County. In
      April 2002, Governor Ruth Ann Minner established the Delaware Energy Task Force
      (&#8220;Task Force&#8221;), whose mission was to address the State of Delaware&#8217;s long-term
      and short-term energy challenges. In September 2003, the Task Force issued
      its
      final report to the Governor that included a strategy related to enhancing
      the
      availability of natural gas within the State by evaluating possible incentives
      for expanding residential and commercial natural gas service. Chesapeake
      believes its current proposal to implement a rate design that will enable the
      Company to provide natural gas as a viable energy choice to a broad number
      of
      prospective customers within eastern Sussex County is consistent with the Task
      Force recommendation. While the Company cannot predict the outcome at this
      time,
      the Company anticipates a final decision from the Delaware PSC regarding its
      proposed alternative rate design and rate structure in the second half of
      2007.</font></div>

      Convenience and Necessity for its 2006-2008 system expansion project (the &#8220;2006
      - 2008 Project&#8221;) with the FERC. The application requested authority to construct
      and operate approximately 55 miles of new pipeline facilities and two new
      metering and regulating station facilities to provide an additional 47,350
      dekatherms per day (&#8220;dt/d&#8221;) of firm transportation service in accordance with
      the phased-in customer requests of 26,200 dt/d in 2006, 10,300 dt/d in 2007,
      and
      10,850 dt/d in 2008, at a total estimated cost of approximately $33.6 million.
      On June 13, 2006, the FERC issued a Certificate to Eastern Shore authorizing
      it
      to construct and operate the 2006 - 2008 Project as proposed. The following

      construct the Bay Crossing Project. Eastern Shore will be required to obtain
      permits from other federal, state and local agencies prior to proceeding with
      construction. The total estimated cost of the Bay Crossing Project is $93
      million, the majority of which will not be spent until the Company obtains

      Company&#8217;s natural gas operations compete with other forms of energy including
      electricity, oil and propane. The principal competitive factors are price,
      and
      to a lesser extent, accessibility. The Company&#8217;s natural gas distribution
      operations have several large volume industrial customers that have the capacity
      to use fuel oil as an alternative to natural gas. When oil prices decline,
      these
      interruptible customers convert to oil to satisfy their fuel requirements.
      Lower
      levels of interruptible sales occur when oil prices are lower than the price
      of
      natural gas. Oil prices, as well as the prices of electricity and other fuels,
      are subject to fluctuation for a variety of reasons; therefore, future
      competitive conditions are not predictable. To address this uncertainty, the
      Company uses flexible pricing arrangements on both the supply and sales side
      of
      this business to maximize sales volumes. As a result of the transmission
      operation&#8217;s conversion to open access and the Florida gas distribution
      division&#8217;s restructuring of its services, their businesses have shifted from
      providing competitive sales service to providing transportation and contract
      storage services.</font></div>

      Company&#8217;s natural gas distribution operations in Delaware, Maryland and Florida
      offer transportation services to certain commercial and industrial customers.
      In
      2002, the Florida operation extended transportation service to residential
      customers. With transportation service available on the Company&#8217;s distribution
      systems, the Company is competing with third-party suppliers to sell gas to
      industrial customers. As it relates to transportation services, the Company&#8217;s
      competitors include interstate transmission companies if the distribution
      customer is located close enough to a transmission company&#8217;s pipeline to make a
      connection economically feasible. The customers at risk are usually large volume
      commercial and industrial customers with the financial resources and capability
      to bypass the Company&#8217;s distribution operations in this manner. In certain
      situations, the Company&#8217;s distribution operations may adjust services and rates
      for these customers to retain their business. The Company expects to continue
      to
      expand the availability of transportation service to additional classes of
      distribution customers in the future. The Company established a natural gas
      sales and supply operation in Florida to compete for customers eligible for
      transportation services. The Company also provides sales service in
      Delaware.</font></div>

      Company&#8217;s propane distribution operations compete with several other propane
      distributors in their service territories, primarily on the basis of service
      and
      price, emphasizing reliability of service and responsiveness. Competition is
      generally from local outlets of national distribution companies and local
      businesses; because distributors located in close proximity to customers incur
      lower costs of providing service. Propane competes with electricity as an energy
      source, because it is typically less expensive than electricity, based on
      equivalent BTU value. Propane also competes with home heating oil as an energy
      source. Since natural gas has historically been less expensive than propane,
      propane is generally not distributed in geographic areas serviced by natural
      gas
      pipeline or distribution systems.</font></div>
