NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of Operations
Dominion Resources, Inc. (Dominion) is a holding company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. Its principal subsidiaries are Virginia Electric and Power Company (Virginia Power), Consolidated Natural Gas Company (CNG) and Dominion Energy, Inc. (DEI). Dominion and CNG are registered holding companies under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (1935 Act).
Virginia Power is a regulated public utility that generates, transmits and distributes electricity within a 30,000-square-mile area in Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Virginia Power sells electricity to approximately 2.2 million retail customers, including governmental agencies, and to wholesale customers such as rural electric cooperatives, municipalities, power marketers and other utilities. Virginia Power has trading relationships beyond its retail service territory and buys and sells wholesale electricity, natural gas and other energy commodities.
CNG operates in all phases of the natural gas business. Its regulated retail gas distribution subsidiaries serve approximately 1.7 million residential, commercial and industrial gas sales and transportation customers in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Its interstate gas transmission pipeline system serves each of its distribution subsidiaries, non-affiliated utilities and end use customers in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. CNG's exploration and production operations are located in several major gas and oil producing basins in the United States, both onshore and offshore. CNG also provides a variety of energy marketing services.
DEI is an independent power producer and a natural gas and oil exploration and production company active in the United States and Canada.
Dominion manages its daily operations through three primary operating segments: Dominion Energy, Dominion Delivery and Dominion Exploration & Production. In addition, Dominion also reports its corporate and other operations as an operating segment. Assets remain wholly owned by the legal subsidiaries. See Note 16.
The term "Dominion" is used throughout this report and, depending on the context of its use, may represent any of the following: the legal entity, Dominion Resources, Inc., one of Dominion Resources, Inc.'s consolidated subsidiaries or the entirety of Dominion Resources, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
As permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain certain condensed financial information and exclude certain footnote disclosures normally included in annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (generally accepted accounting principles). These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
In the opinion of Dominion's management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly Dominion's financial position as of June 30, 2002, and its results of operations for the three and six-month periods and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dominion Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries, with all significant intercompany transactions and accounts eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect certain estimates and assumptions made by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
PAGE 8
DOMINION RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
Dominion reports certain contracts and instruments at fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Market pricing and indicative price information from external sources are used to measure fair value when available. In the absence of this information, Dominion estimates fair value based on near-term and historical price information and statistical methods. For individual contracts, the use of differing assumptions could have a material effect on the contract's estimated fair value. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 for a more detailed discussion of Dominion's estimation techniques.
The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. Information for quarterly periods is affected by seasonal variations in sales, rate changes, timing of fuel expense recovery and other factors.
During the second quarter of 2002, Dominion extended the useful lives of most of its fossil fuel stations and electric distribution property based on depreciation studies that indicated longer lives were appropriate after considering the effects of aging, current and planned environmental and other capital expenditures. The new estimated useful lives of Dominion's property, plant and equipment are as follows: generation 20-65 years, transmission 30-70 years, distribution 23-53 years, and other 5-25 years. These changes in estimated useful lives reduced depreciation expense by $8 million for the second quarter of 2002. These changes are expected to reduce depreciation expense for the entirety of 2002 by approximately $40 million and approximately $60 million on an annual pre-tax basis thereafter.
Note 3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Asset Retirement Obligations
In 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which provides accounting requirements for the recognition and measurement of liabilities associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. Under the standard, these liabilities will be recognized at fair value as incurred and capitalized as part of the cost of the related tangible long-lived assets. Accretion of the liabilities due to the passage of time will be an operating expense. Dominion will adopt the standard effective January 1, 2003. Dominion has identified certain retirement obligations that will be subject to the standard. These obligations are associated with the decommissioning of its nuclear generation facilities, removal of certain storage tanks, the abandonment of certain natural gas pipelines, and dismantlement and restoration activities for its gas and oil wells and platforms. The s tandard requires that any transition adjustments measured at adoption will be recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Dominion has not yet determined the financial impact of adopting the new standard. For more discussion, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Note 4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 prohibits the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. SFAS No. 142 also requires that these assets be reviewed for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with finite lives will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives.
Dominion adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. The discontinuance of goodwill amortization under SFAS No. 142 will result in an increase in net income of $95 million in 2002. Dominion is required to test its goodwill for impairment using a two-step process described in SFAS No. 142 on an annual basis or whenever events or circumstances might indicate that the fair value of Dominion's reporting units may have been affected. The first step is a screen for potential impairment, while the second step measures the amount of the impairment, if any. Dominion completed the transitional goodwill impairment test during the second quarter of 2002 and found no instances of impairment.

Other than the $24 million adjustment made during the first quarter of 2002 to the carrying amount of goodwill recognized as part of the purchase of Louis Dreyfus Natural Gas Corp. (Louis Dreyfus), there were no significant changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the first half of 2002. See Note 5.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
All of Dominion's intangible assets other than goodwill are subject to amortization. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $12 million and $9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $25 million and $18 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. There were no material acquisitions of intangible assets during the first half of 2002. The components of intangible assets at June 30, 2002 were as follows:

Note 5. Acquisitions
Louis Dreyfus
On November 1, 2001, Dominion acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Louis Dreyfus Natural Gas Corp., a natural gas and oil exploration and production company headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for $1.8 billion in common stock and cash. Dominion acquired Louis Dreyfus by merging it into a new subsidiary and then contributed the subsidiary to CNG. The purchase price allocation was completed during the first quarter of 2002 upon receipt of information from outside specialists, increasing liabilities and goodwill each by $24 million. All of the goodwill arising from the Louis Dreyfus acquisition has been allocated to the Dominion Exploration & Production segment for purposes of impairment testing under SFAS No. 142.

On June 1, 2002, Dominion acquired 100 percent ownership of Mirant State Line Ventures, Inc. (State Line) from Mirant Corporation for approximately $182 million in cash. State Line's assets include a 515-megawatt coal-fired generation facility located near Hammond, Indiana. State Line will be included in the Dominion Energy operating segment.
Note 6. Restructuring Activities
2001 Restructuring Plan
In the fourth quarter of 2001, after fully integrating Dominion's existing organization and operations with those of CNG, management initiated a focused review of Dominion's combined operations. As a result, Dominion recognized restructuring costs which included employee severance and termination benefits and the abandonment of leased office space no longer needed.
Under the 2001 restructuring plan, Dominion identified approximately 340 salaried positions to be eliminated and recorded $42 million in employee severance-related costs. Through June 30, 2002, Dominion had eliminated 243 positions.
The change in the liabilities for severance and related costs and lease termination costs during the first six months of 2002 is presented below:

Note 9. Derivatives and Hedge Accounting
Dominion recorded an after-tax charge to accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) of $183 million, net of taxes of $106 million in the first quarter of 2001 in connection with the January 1, 2001 adoption of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
Changes in Dominion's accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) associated with the effective portion of the change in fair value of derivatives designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges, net of taxes and related amounts reclassified to earnings are as follows:

(Continued)
Based on balances at June 30, 2002, Dominion expects to reclassify approximately $17 million of net gains in AOCI at June 30, 2002 to earnings during the next twelve-month period. The actual amounts that will be reclassified to earnings over the next twelve months will vary from this amount as a result of changes in market prices. The effect of amounts being reclassified from AOCI to earnings will generally be offset by the recognition of the hedged transactions (e.g., anticipated sales) in earnings, thereby achieving the realization of prices contemplated by the underlying risk management strategies. As of June 30, 2002, Dominion is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions over periods of one to six years.
Dominion recognized pre-tax increases (decreases) in earnings for hedge ineffectiveness as follows:

For options designated as hedging instruments, Dominion excludes the changes in the options' fair value attributable to time value from the measurement of hedge effectiveness. Such amounts were included in earnings but did not exceed $1 million in any of the reported periods.
Margin Deposit Assets and Liabilities
Amounts reported as margin deposit assets represent funds held on deposit by various trading counterparties that resulted from credit exposures exceeding agreed upon credit limits. Amounts reported as margin deposit liabilities represent funds held by Dominion that resulted from credit exposures for various trading counterparties exceeding agreed upon credit limits. These credit limits and the mechanism for calculating the amounts to be held on deposit are determined in the ISDA (International Swap Dealers Association) master agreements in place between Dominion and the counterparties. As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, Dominion had margin assets (funds paid by Dominion and held by counterparties) of $302 million and $30 million, respectively, and margin deposit liabilities (funds paid by counterparties and held by Dominion) of $3 million and $88 million, respectively.
Note 10. Ceiling Test
As more fully described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, Dominion follows the full cost method of accounting for gas and oil exploration and production activities, as prescribed by the SEC. Under this method, capitalized costs are subject to a quarterly "ceiling test". Under the ceiling test, amounts capitalized are limited to the present value of estimated future net revenues to be derived from the production of proved gas and oil reserves. As currently permitted by the SEC, Dominion uses hedge adjusted period-end prices to calculate the present value of estimated future net revenues. Such prices are used for the portion of anticipated production from proved reserves that is hedged by qualifying cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2002, the use of period-end market prices rather than hedge-adjusted prices, as otherwise required by the full cost method, would not have resulted in an impairment charge. D
ue to the volatility of gas and oil prices, it is reasonably possible that for some quarters, Dominion may satisfy the ceiling test using hedge-adjusted prices, whereas the use of market prices could have resulted in an impairment charge.

Joint Credit Facilities
In May 2002, Dominion, Virginia Power and CNG entered into two joint credit facilities that allow aggregate borrowings up to $2 billion. The facilities include a $1.25 billion 364-day revolving credit facility that terminates in May 2003 and a $750 million 3-year revolving credit facility that terminates in May 2005. These credit facilities replaced the $1.75 billion 364-day credit facility and Dominion's $300 million multi-year credit facility that matured during the second quarter of 2002. The new joint credit facilities will be used for working capital; as support for the combined commercial paper programs and letters of credit of Dominion, Virginia Power and CNG; and other general corporate purposes. At June 30, 2002, outstanding letters of credit totaled $185 million and related primarily to CNG.

Equity-Linked Debt Securities
In March 2002, Dominion issued $330 million of equity-linked debt securities. Dominion used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of debt. Dominion had also issued $412.5 million of equity-linked debt securities in the fourth quarter of 2000. Each equity-linked debt security consists of a stock purchase contract and a senior note issued by Dominion. The stock purchase contracts obligate the holders to purchase from Dominion shares of Dominion common stock by a future settlement date. The purchase price is $50 and the number of shares to be purchased will be determined under a formula based upon the average closing price of Dominion common stock near the settlement date. The senior notes, or treasury securities in some instances, are pledged as collateral to secure the purchase of common stock under the related stock purchase contracts. The holders may satisfy their obligation under the stock purchase contracts by allowing the senior notes to be re marketed with the proceeds being paid to Dominion as consideration for the purchase of stock under the stock purchase contracts. Alternatively, holders may choose to continue holding the senior notes and use other resources as consideration for the purchase of stock under the stock purchase contracts.
Dominion makes quarterly interest payments on the senior notes and quarterly payments on the stock purchase contracts, at the rates described below. Dominion has recorded the present value of the stock purchase contract payments as a liability, offset by a charge to common stock in shareholders' equity. Interest payments on the senior notes are recorded as interest expense and stock purchase contract payments are charged against the liability. Accretion of the stock purchase contract liability is recorded as interest expense. In calculating diluted earnings per share, Dominion applies the treasury stock method to the equity-linked debt securities. These securities did not have a significant effect on diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002.
Under the terms of the stock purchase contracts, Dominion will issue between 6.7 million and 8.1 million shares of its common stock in November 2004 and between 4.1 million and 5.5 million shares of its common stock in May 2006. A total of 13.6 million shares of Dominion's common stock is reserved for issuance in connection with the stock purchase contracts.

Common Stock
During the first six months of 2002, Dominion received proceeds of $741 million from the issuance of common stock. In March 2002, Dominion issued approximately 10.3 million shares through an equity offering and received proceeds of $618 million. The remainder of the shares issued and proceeds received occurred through Dominion Direct (a dividend reinvestment and open enrollment direct stock purchase plan), employee savings plans and the exercise of employee stock options.
Note 13. Subsidiary Dividend Restrictions
The 1935 Act prohibits registered holding companies and their subsidiaries from paying dividends out of capital or unearned surplus except when they have received specific SEC authorization. In January 2002, Dominion filed an application with the SEC for relief from the restriction on paying dividends out of unearned surplus of the subsidiary into which Louis Dreyfus was merged. The request was for relief up to an amount equal to Louis Dreyfus' retained earnings before the merger. As of June 30, 2002, the application was still pending with the SEC.
There have not been any changes to other subsidiary dividend restrictions disclosed in Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies
Other than the environmental matter discussed below, there have been no significant developments regarding the commitments and contingencies disclosed in Note 27 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, nor have any significant new matters arisen during the six months ended June 30, 2002.
As described more fully in Note 27 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, Dominion, through certain subsidiaries, has entered into agreements with special purpose entities (Lessors) in order to finance and lease several new power generation projects, as well as its corporate headquarters and aircraft. The Lessors have financing commitments from equity and debt investors totaling $2.2 billion, of which approximately $1.2 billion has been used for project costs incurred to date. There have been no significant changes to the estimated annual lease payments for these projects disclosed in the Note 27 described above.
FASB expects to issue a new accounting standard regarding the accounting treatment for special purpose entities. The final provisions of this new standard may affect the accounting of these lease arrangements. If the special purpose entities were to be consolidated into Dominion's financial statements, Dominion would record both the project assets and related debt and minority interests on its balance sheet. Dominion is monitoring this FASB project and may consider other financing structures for these projects in the future.
Environmental Matters
During 2000, Virginia Power received a Notice of Violation from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) alleging that Virginia Power failed to obtain New Source Review permits under the Clean Air Act prior to undertaking specified construction projects at the Mt. Storm Power Station in West Virginia. The Attorney General of New York filed a suit against Virginia Power alleging similar violations of the Clean Air Act at the Mt. Storm Power Station. Virginia Power also received notices from the Attorneys General of Connecticut and New Jersey of their intentions to file suit for similar violations. Management believes that Virginia Power has obtained the necessary permits for its generating facilities. Virginia Power has reached an agreement in principle with the federal government and the state of New York to resolve this situation. The agreement in principle includes payment of a $5 million civil penalty, a commitment of $14 million for environmental projects in Virginia, West Virgini a, Connecticut, New Jersey and New York, and a 12-year, $1.2 billion capital investment program for environmental improvements at Virginia Power's coal-fired generating stations in Virginia and West Virginia. Dominion had already committed to a substantial portion of the $1.2 billion expenditures for sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions controls. The negotiations over the terms of a binding settlement have expanded beyond the basic agreement in principle and are ongoing. As of June 30, 2002, Dominion has recorded, on a discounted basis, $18 million for the civil penalty and environmental projects. In May 2002, the EPA issued a Section 114 request for information about whether projects undertaken at Virginia Power's Chesterfield, Chesapeake, Yorktown, Possum Point and Bremo Bluff power stations were properly permitted under the Clean Air Act's New Source Review requirements, to which Virginia Power responded in a timely manner.

Guarantees, Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds
As part of normal business, Dominion Resources, Inc. and certain subsidiaries are party to various agreements providing financial or performance assurance to third parties on behalf of certain subsidiaries. Such agreements include guarantees, stand-by letters of credit, and surety bonds. The amounts subject to certain of these agreements will vary depending on the covered contracts actually outstanding at any particular point in time. Guarantees and stand-by letters of credit are used, when necessary, to support or enhance the creditworthiness otherwise attributed to a subsidiary on a stand-alone basis. Accordingly, Dominion and certain subsidiaries entered into guarantees and stand-by letters of credit so the third parties will be willing to enter into contracts with the subsidiaries and to extend sufficient credit to facilitate the subsidiaries' accomplishment of intended commercial purposes. In such instances, guarantees may be used to limit exposures resulting from subsidiary busin ess activities to pre-defined amounts. To the extent a liability, subject to a guarantee, has been incurred by a consolidated subsidiary, such liability is included in Dominion's consolidated financial statements. Only in those limited instances where Dominion or certain subsidiaries enters into a guarantee on behalf of a related party that is not consolidated in the preparation of Dominion's consolidated financial statements would performance under the agreement result in the recognition of additional liabilities in Dominion's consolidated financial statements.
Guarantees
At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, outstanding guarantees totaled $4.9 billion and $4.4 billion, respectively. Outstanding guarantees as of December 31, 2001 include $3.3 billion issued by Dominion Resources, Inc. and $1.1 billion issued by CNG. Dominion believes it unlikely that it would be required to perform or otherwise incur any losses associated with guarantees.
As of June 30, 2002, outstanding guarantees include $3.5 billion issued by Dominion Resources, Inc. and $1.4 billion issued by CNG and represented the following types of guarantees:
Guarantee of Consolidated Subsidiary Debt -- Dominion Resources, Inc. has guaranteed the payment of interest and principal of $852 million of subsidiary debt primarily for Dominion Capital, Inc. (DCI) and certain subsidiaries of DEI. CNG has guaranteed the payment of interest and principal on the $288 million of debt of Dominion Oklahoma Texas Exploration & Production, Inc. These debts are included in Dominion's consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2002. In the event of default by the subsidiaries, Dominion Resources, Inc. or CNG, as applicable, would be obligated to repay such amounts.
Guarantees Supporting Commodity Transactions of Consolidated Subsidiaries --

Guarantees Supporting Other Agreements -- Dominion Resources, Inc. has also guaranteed the following transactions:
Standby Letters of Credit
At June 30, 2002, CNG and DEI had authorized the issuance of standby letters of credit by a financial institution in the amounts of $175 million and $10 million, respectively, for the benefit of certain counterparties that had extended credit to these subsidiaries. In the unlikely event that CNG or DEI do not pay amounts when due under the covered contracts, any covered counterparty may present its claim for payment to the financial institution, which would then request payment from CNG or DEI, as applicable. The letters of credit are backed by the 3-year revolving credit facility that matures in May 2005. See Note 12. As of June 30, 2002, no amounts had been presented for payment under these letters of credit.
At June 30, 2002, Dominion Resources, Inc. and Virginia Power had purchased $125 million of surety bonds, of which $57 million was associated with the financial assurance requirements imposed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission with respect to the decommissioning of Virginia Power's nuclear units. Under the terms of the surety bonds related to nuclear decommissioning, Virginia Power is obligated to indemnify the respective surety bond company for any amounts paid. The liability for future nuclear decommissioning is included in Dominion's consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2002. The remaining $68 million relates to surety bonds purchased by various Dominion subsidiaries for purposes such as providing worker compensation coverage and obtaining licenses, permits and rights-of-way. To the extent liabilities are incurred as a result of the activities covered by the surety bonds, such liabilities would be included in Dominion's consolidated balance sheets until paid. Under the term s of the surety bonds, Dominion Resources, Inc. is obligated to indemnify the respective surety bond company for any amounts paid on behalf of its subsidiaries.
Note 15. Concentration of Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to Dominion if counterparties fail to perform their contractual obligations. Dominion engages in transactions for the purchase and sale of products and services with
