DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes of Devon Energy Corporation (“Devon”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Devon’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements furnished in this report reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of Devon’s financial position as of March 31, 2011 and Devon’s results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

2. Accounts Receivable

     The components of accounts receivable include the following:

		March 31, 2011				December 31, 2010
		(In millions)
Oil, gas and NGL sales		$	811			$	786
Marketing and midstream revenues			204				165
Joint interest billings			181				182
Other			83				79
Gross accounts receivable			1,279				1,212
Allowance for doubtful accounts			(10	)			(10	)
Net accounts receivable		$	1,269			$	1,202

3. Derivative Financial Instruments

Objectives and Strategies

     Devon periodically enters into commodity and interest rate derivative financial instruments. These instruments are used to manage the inherent uncertainty of future revenues due to oil, gas and NGL price volatility and to manage exposure to interest rate volatility. Devon does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes and has elected not to designate any of its derivative instruments for hedge accounting treatment.

     Devon’s derivative financial instruments include financial price swaps, basis swaps, costless price collars and call options. Under the terms of the price swaps, Devon receives a fixed price for its production and pays a variable market price to the contract counterparty. For the basis swaps, Devon receives a fixed differential between two regional gas index prices and pays a variable differential on the same two index prices to the contract counterparty. The price collars set a floor and ceiling price for the hedged production. If the applicable monthly price indices are outside of the ranges set by the floor and ceiling prices in the various collars, Devon will cash-settle the difference with the counterparty to the collars. Under the terms of the call options, Devon sold to counterparties the right to purchase production at a predetermined price.

     Devon periodically enters into interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate volatility. Devon’s interest rate swaps include contracts in which Devon receives a fixed rate and pays a variable rate on a total notional amount. Devon also has forward starting swaps. Under the terms of the forward starting swaps, Devon will net settle these contracts in September 2011 or sooner should Devon elect. The net settlement amount will be based upon Devon paying a fixed rate and receiving a floating rate that is based upon the three-month LIBOR. The difference between the fixed and floating rate will be applied to the notional amount for the 30-year period from September 30, 2011 to September 30, 2041.

Counterparty Risk

     By using derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to changes in commodity prices and interest rates, Devon

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(Unaudited)

exposes itself to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. To mitigate this risk, the hedging instruments are placed with a number of counterparties whom Devon believes are minimal credit risks. It is Devon’s policy to enter into derivative contracts only with investment grade rated counterparties deemed by management to be competent and competitive market makers. Additionally, Devon’s derivative contracts generally require cash collateral to be posted if either its or the counterparty’s credit rating falls below investment grade. The mark-to-market exposure threshold, above which collateral must be posted, decreases as the debt rating falls further below investment grade. Such thresholds generally range from zero to $50 million for the majority of Devon’s contracts. As of March 31, 2011, the credit ratings of all Devon’s counterparties were investment grade.

5. Goodwill

     During the first three months of 2011, Devon’s Canadian goodwill increased $71 million entirely due to foreign currency translation.

6. Debt

Credit Lines

     Devon has a $2,650 million syndicated, unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Senior Credit Facility”). As of March 31, 2011, Devon had no borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility.

     The Senior Credit Facility contains only one material financial covenant. This covenant requires Devon’s ratio of total funded debt to total capitalization to be less than 65 percent. The credit agreement contains definitions of total funded debt and total capitalization that include adjustments to the respective amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Also, total capitalization is adjusted to add back noncash financial writedowns such as full cost ceiling impairments or goodwill impairments. As of March 31, 2011, Devon was in compliance with this covenant. Devon’s debt-to-capitalization ratio at March 31, 2011, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the agreement, was 17.7 percent.

Commercial Paper

     In March 2011, Devon’s Board of Directors authorized an increase in its commercial paper program from $2.2 billion to $5.0 billion. Commercial paper debt generally has a maturity of between one and 90 days, although it can have a maturity of up to 365 days, and bears interest at rates agreed to at the time of the borrowing. The interest rate is based on a standard index such as the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR, or the money market rate as found on the commercial paper market.

     Although Devon began and ended the first quarter of 2011 with approximately $3.4 billion of cash and short-term investments, the vast majority of this amount consists of proceeds from its 2010 International divestitures. Based on Devon’s evaluation of future cash needs across its operations in the United States and Canada, these proceeds remain outside of the United States.

     Consequently, during the first quarter of 2011, Devon borrowed $1,197 million of commercial paper in the United States primarily to fund capital expenditures, common stock repurchases and dividends in excess of cash flow generated by its United States operating activities. As of March 31, 2011, Devon’s average borrowing rate on its $1,197 million of commercial paper borrowings was 0.30 percent.

     The schedule below summarizes changes in Devon’s asset retirement obligations.

Asset retirement obligations, long-term		$	1,468			$	1,637

     During the first quarter of 2010, Devon recognized a revision to its asset retirement obligations totaling $205 million. The increase was primarily due to an overall increase in abandonment cost estimates and a decrease in the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the obligations.

8. Retirement Plans

     The following table presents the components of net periodic benefit cost for Devon’s pension and other postretirement benefit plans.

		Pension Benefits								Other Postretirement Benefits
		Three Months								Three Months

     Devon previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, that it expected to contribute $84 million to its qualified pension plans in 2011. Devon now expects to contribute $346 million to its qualified pension plans in 2011, including $32 million that was contributed in the first quarter. The increase in Devon’s 2011 estimated contribution is due to increased discretionary funding.

9. Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Repurchases

     During the first quarter of 2011, Devon repurchased 8.1 million common shares under its $3.5 billion stock repurchase program announced in 2010 for $696 million, or $85.95 per share. Through the end of the first quarter of 2011, Devon had repurchased 26.4 million common shares for $1.9 billion, or $71.83 per share, under this program, which expires December 31, 2011.

Dividends

     Devon paid common stock dividends of $68 million and $72 million (quarterly rates of $0.16 per share) in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively. In March 2011, Devon announced an increase of its quarterly cash dividend to $0.17 per share that will begin in the second quarter of 2011.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

     Devon is party to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Matters that are probable of unfavorable outcome to Devon and which can be reasonably estimated are accrued. Such accruals are based on information known about the matters, Devon’s estimates of the outcomes of such matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. None of the actions are believed by management to involve future amounts that would be material to Devon’s financial position or results of operations after consideration of recorded accruals although actual amounts could differ materially from management’s estimate.

Environmental Matters

     Devon is subject to certain laws and regulations relating to environmental remediation activities associated with past operations, such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act and similar state statutes. In response to liabilities associated with these activities, loss accruals primarily consist of estimated uninsured costs associated with remediation. Devon’s monetary exposure for environmental matters is not expected to be material.

Royalty Matters

     Numerous natural gas producers and related parties, including Devon, have been named in various lawsuits alleging violation of the federal False Claims Act. The suits allege that the producers and related parties used below-market prices, improper deductions, improper measurement techniques and transactions with affiliates, which resulted in underpayment of royalties in connection with natural gas and NGLs produced and sold from federal and Indian owned or controlled lands. Devon does not currently believe that it is subject to material exposure with respect to such royalty matters.

Other Matters

     Devon is involved in other various routine legal proceedings incidental to its business. However, to Devon’s knowledge, there were no other material pending legal proceedings to which Devon is a party or to which any of its property is subject.

11. Fair Value Measurements

     Certain of Devon’s assets and liabilities are reported at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Such assets and liabilities include amounts for both financial and non-financial instruments.

     In the fourth quarter of 2009, Devon announced plans to divest its offshore assets. As of March 31, 2011, Devon had divested all of its U.S. Offshore assets and a significant part of its International assets. Devon has entered into agreements to sell its remaining offshore assets in Brazil and Angola and is waiting for the respective governments to approve the divestitures.

     Through the end of the first quarter of 2011, Devon had incurred $207 million of restructuring costs associated with these divestitures. This amount is comprised of $127 million of employee severance costs, $77 million associated with abandoned office leases and $3 million of other miscellaneous costs.
