REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Plan Administrator
Chesapeake Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan
Richmond, Virginia


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Chesapeake Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan (Plan) as of December 31, 2007, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2007, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The schedule of assets held at end of year is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management.  The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Participants and Administrator of the
Chesapeake Corporation 401k Savings Plan
Richmond, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of Chesapeake Corporation 401k Savings Plan as of December 31, 2006, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Chesapeake Corporation 401k Savings Plan as of December 31, 2006, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As explained in Note 8 to the financial statements, Chesapeake Corporation, the plan sponsor, did not file a Form S-8 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to register shares of Chesapeake Corporation stock, which is included as an investment option under the terms of the Plan.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedule of assets (held at year end) as of December 31, 2006, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the United States Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management.  The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

CHESAPEAKE CORPORATION 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Description of Plan:

General

The Chesapeake Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Plan") covers eligible employees of Chesapeake Pharmaceutical Packaging Company Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Chesapeake Corporation ("Chesapeake" or the "Employer"), as described in the Plan document.  The Plan's assets are held by Mercer Trust Company (the "Trustee" or “Mercer”).

The Plan is a defined contribution plan and is subject to certain provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").  Information regarding Plan benefits, priority of distributions upon termination of the Plan, allocation of Plan investment earnings, disposition of forfeitures, and vesting is provided in the Plan document, which is available at the main office of the Plan administrator at 1021 East Cary Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219.

The Plan was declared effective November 1, 2005, and was created by Chesapeake in connection with Chesapeake's acquisition of Impaxx Pharmaceutical Packaging Group, Inc. on September 13, 2005.

Employee Contributions

Participants are automatically enrolled to defer 2% of annual before-tax compensation.  The Plan also provides for automatic increases of 1% per year.  A participant may elect to defer receipt of 2% to 99% of annual before-tax compensation, in increments of 1% into the Plan.  Elective deferral contributions may not exceed statutory limits ($15,500 per participant in 2007) in any taxable year.  Participants may also contribute to the Plan amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined contribution plans. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. Participants may discontinue their election to contribute at any time.

Employees who reached age 50 by the 2007 Plan year end were allowed to  contribute an additional $5,000 for 2007 and 2006 to their Plan account; increasing the adjusted statutory limits for these employees to $20,500 in 2007 and $20,000 in 2006.

Employer Contributions

The Plan provides for a matching employer contribution each Plan year in an amount equal to 50% of the first 5% of each participant's compensation that the participant elects to contribute to the Plan.  The matching contributions are credited to participants' accounts and invested in accordance with the participants' investment elections. Matching contributions for highly compensated participants are limited by the Internal Revenue Code as described in the Plan document.  Chesapeake may make contributions on behalf of specified participants, regardless of whether the participants make elective deferral contributions, as non-elective contributions.

Participant Accounts

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and allocations of (a) the Employer's contribution and (b) Plan earnings.  Allocations are based on participant's earnings or account balances, as defined.  The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account.

1.  Description of Plan, continued:

Vesting

Participants are fully and immediately vested in all employee contributions.  Participants are generally vested in employer matching contributions 20% per year over a five year period, such that a participant is 100% vested after five years of credited service.

Participant Loans

Employees who are participants in the Plan may borrow from the vested portion of their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance.  Loan terms range from 1-5 years or up to 10 years for the purchase of a primary residence.  The loans are collateralized by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a rate equal to the prime lending rate plus one percent at the date of origination of the loan, as determined monthly by the Plan administrator.  Repayment of loans (which includes principal and interest) is amortized in level payments, made no less frequently than quarterly.  Loan repayments are generally made through payroll deductions on each paycheck.  Loans generally become due and payable in full once a participant terminates employment.  The loans are subject to certain restrictions as defined in the Plan document and applicable restrictions under the Internal Revenue Code.  At December 31, 2007 and 2006, interest rates on outstanding loans ranged from 5.00% to 9.25%.

Distributions

Benefits under the Plan become distributable upon termination of employment, upon early retirement, on or after normal retirement, or upon death or disability.  Benefit payments are made to the participant as a lump-sum distribution or installment payment.  If the present value of the benefit to be received is less than $1,000, a lump-sum distribution is required.

Forfeitures

Termination of employment for reasons other than retirement, disability or death generally results in forfeiture of the non-vested portion of a participant's account.  Forfeitures are held in the Plan and serve to reduce future employer contributions under certain conditions described in the Plan document.  There were no unused forfeitures at December 31, 2007 and December 30, 2006.  Forfeitures in the amount of $2,559 and $1,302 were used to reduce employer contributions in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Plan Expenses

Fees of investment managers or expenses incurred in connection with the purchase or transfer of Chesapeake Corporation common stock, if any, are borne by participants who select such investments, and are netted against investment income.  All other expenses associated with the administration of the Plan are paid by Chesapeake.

CHESAPEAKE CORPORATION 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual basis in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Investment Valuation and Income

Investments are stated at fair value determined as follows:

Mutual and money market funds
- Quoted market value
Common and collective trusts
- Information reported by the investment adviser
Chesapeake common stock
- Last published year-end sale price on
      the New York Stock Exchange
Loans to participants
- Balances due which approximate fair value

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.  Investment income is recorded as earned.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  The Plan presents in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits the "net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments" which consists of the realized gains and losses and the change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on those investments.

Distributions to Participants

Distributions are recorded when paid.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the financial statements and related disclosures.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, FSP AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans ( the FSP), investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value.  However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan.  The Plan invests in investment contracts through a collective trust.  Because contract value approximates fair value, the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits present the contract value of the investment in the collective trust and do not show an adjustment of the investment in the collective trust from fair value to contract value relating to the investment contracts.  The Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits are prepared on a contract value basis.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

3.  Plan Termination:

While Chesapeake has not expressed any intent to discontinue its contributions, continuance is not assumed as a contractual obligation and any such discontinuance is subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event such discontinuance results in the termination of the Plan, the Plan provides that each participant shall be fully vested in his or her account and payment of such amounts will be made by the Trustee as directed by the Chesapeake Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan Committee.

4.  Investments:

Individual investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets available for benefits are as follows:

   
December 31,
 
   
2007
   
2006

      Putnam International Equity Fund (13,668 and 10,774 shares, respectively)
    376,130       337,541  
Growth funds
               
      American Funds Growth of America (7,714 and 5,688 shares, respectively)

      Vanguard Prime Money Market (79,982 and 231,628 shares, respectively)
    79,982 *     231,628  
                 
                 
*Amount was not greater than 5% in year indicated.
 
During 2007 and 2006 the Plan's investments (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year) (depreciated) appreciated in value as follows:
               
 
             
   
2007
   
2006
 
                 
Mutual funds
  $ (285,415 )   $ 205,635

Common stock
    (155,819 )     8,027

  $ (435,151 )   $ 227,005

CHESAPEAKE CORPORATION 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

4.  Investments, continued

Certain prior year amounts reported above have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.  Net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments is unchanged due to these reclassifications.

5.  Tax Status:

The Plan is a proto-type plan designed by Mercer.  The proto-type plan obtained a determination letter on August 9, 2002, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the proto-type plan, as designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").  Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code.

6.  Party-in-Interest Transactions:

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds, money market funds, and common and collective trusts managed by Mercer.  Purchases of Mercer investments of 106,528 shares in 2007 and 114,861 shares in 2006 totaled $1,268,625 and $1,156,672, respectively.  Sales of Mercer investments of 25,093 shares in 2007 and 49,279 shares in 2006 totaled $228,658 and $362,752, respectively.  Certain Plan investments are shares of Chesapeake Corporation common stock.  Purchases of Chesapeake Corporation common stock of 8,509 shares in 2007 and 7,245 shares in 2006 totaled $127,555 and $109,916, respectively.  Sales of Chesapeake Corporation common stock of 4,728 shares in 2007 and 4,019 shares in 2006 totaled $56,102 and $62,826, respectively.  These transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions that are allowable under ERISA .

7.  Plan Amendments:

In December 2006, the Plan was amended effective January 1, 2007 as follows:

·  
To modify the Employer match to 100% of the first 3% of pay contributed and 50% of the next 2% of pay contributed (a maximum Employer match of 4% of pay).

8.  Risks and Uncertainties:

The Plan provides for various mutual fund investment options in stocks, bonds, money market and fixed income securities common and collective trusts, and a direct Chesapeake common stock investment.  Investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

CHESAPEAKE CORPORATION 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

8.  Risks and Uncertainties, continued

Chesapeake stock is offered as an investment option under the terms of the Plan.  Upon the Plan becoming effective on November 1, 2005, the Plan sponsor, Chesapeake did not file a Form S-8 registration statement to register these shares with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Chesapeake filed a Form S-8 registering these shares with the SEC on August 13, 2007. 

9.  New Accounting Pronouncements:

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157 “fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157”).  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.  It applies to other pronouncements that require or permit fair value but does not require any new fair value measurements.  The statement defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  “SFAS 157, as it relates to financial assets and liabilities, is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP FAS 157-2”), which permits a one-year deferral of the application of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).

The Company will adopt SFAS 157 and FSP FAS 157-2 effective January 1, 2008.  Accordingly, the provisions of SFAS 157 will not be applied to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, until January 1, 2009.  The Company is currently analyzing the impact of SFAS 157 on the Plan’s financial statements.
