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 public utility 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, explores for and produces gas and oil and provides a variety of energy marketing services. Its regulated retail gas distribution subsidiaries serve 1.7 million residential, commercial and industrial gas sales and transportation customers in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia and its non-regulated retail gas, electric and products and services business serves 1.2 million residential and commercial customers in the Northeast and Midwest. Its interstate gas transmission pipeline system services each of its distribution subsidiaries, non-affiliated utilities and end-users in the Midwest, the Mid-Atlantic states and the Northeast. CNG's exploration and production operations are located in several major gas and oil producing basins in the lower 48 states, including the outer continental shelf and deep-water areas of the Gulf of Mexico. CNG's field services operations relate to Appalachian area natural gas supply and include storage and other services. CNG a
lso operates a liquefied natural gas unloading and storage facility in Maryland.
DEI is involved in merchant generation, energy trading and marketing and natural gas and oil exploration and production 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 reports its corporate and other operations as a segment. Assets remain wholly owned by the legal subsidiaries.
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 for the year ended December 31, 2002 as well as the quarterly reports for previous interim periods of 2003 filed on Form 10-Q. On May 9, 2003, Dominion filed a current report on Form 8-K that included its Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes for the year ended December 31, 2002, which were reformatted to reflect the transfer of electric transmission operations to Dominion Energy from Dominion Delivery effective
January 1, 2003. References to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes for the year ended December 31, 2002 refer to those included in the May 9, 2003 current report on Form 8-K.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly Dominion's financial position as of September 30, 2003, its results of operations for the three and nine months and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002.
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements represent Dominion's accounts after the elimination of intercompany transactions. Dominion follows the equity method of accounting for investments with less than or equal to a 50 percent interest in partnerships or corporate joint ventures when Dominion is able to exercise significant influence over the financial and operating policies of the investee. For all other investments, the cost method is applied.
PAGE 8
DOMINION RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
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 Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
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 for the year ended December 31, 2002 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 recovery of electric fuel, purchased energy and purchased gas expenses and other factors.
Certain amounts in the 2002 Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 presentation.
Stock Compensation
The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net income (loss) and earnings per share if Dominion had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation:

Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
Effective January 1, 2003, Dominion adopted 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. Dominion has identified certain asset retirement obligations that are subject to the standard. These obligations are primarily associated with the decommissioning of its nuclear generation facilities, abandoning certain natural gas pipelines and dismantling and removing gas and oil wells and platforms.
In addition, Dominion has identified asset retirement obligations related to its natural gas gathering, storage, transmission and distribution systems, including approximately 2,300 gas storage wells in Dominion's underground natural gas storage network. These obligations result from certain safety requirements to be performed at the time any pipeline or storage well is abandoned. However, Dominion expects to operate its natural gas gathering, storage, transmission and distribution systems in perpetuity. Thus, such asset retirement obligations will not be reflected in Dominion's Consolidated Financial Statements until sufficient information becomes available to determine a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the activities to be performed. Generally, this will occur based on expected retirement or abandonment of individual pipelines or storage wells based on Dominion's operational planning.
The effect of adopting SFAS No. 143 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to an estimate of net income reflecting the continuation of former accounting policies, was to increase net income by $3 million and $194 million for those periods, respectively. The $194 million increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 is comprised of a $180 million after-tax gain, representing the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and an increase in income before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $14 million.
Accounting for Energy Trading Contracts
In 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached consensus on EITF Issue No. 02-3, Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities. As a result, certain energy-related commodity contracts that are held in connection with Dominion's energy trading activities are no longer subject to fair value accounting. The affected contracts are those energy-related contracts that are not considered to be derivatives under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Energy-related contracts affected by this change are now subject to accrual accounting and recognized as revenue or expense at the time of contract performance, settlement or termination. The new rules were effective for energy-related contracts initiated prior to October 25, 2002 as of January 1, 2003, and required that Dominion record a cumulative effect of a change in accountin g principle, resulting in an after-tax loss of $67 million.
EITF 02-3 also affects the classification of gains and losses arising from derivative energy contracts no longer considered to be held for trading purposes. Under the provisions of EITF 02-3, for those energy-related derivative instruments determined to be held for trading purposes, all changes in fair value, including amounts realized upon settlement, continue to be presented in revenue on a net basis. A derivative contract is held for trading purposes if the intent of the transaction is to generate profits on short-term differences in price. For non-trading derivatives not designated as hedges, all unrealized changes in fair value are presented in other operations and maintenance expense on a net basis. For non-trading derivative contracts that involve physical delivery of commodities, gross sales contract settlements are presented in revenue, while gross purchase contract settlements are reported in expenses.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
Effective July 1, 2003, Dominion adopted SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. The standard requires an issuer to classify certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity as a liability if the issuer is obligated to redeem such instruments. As a result, beginning July 1, 2003, Dominion presents the mandatorily redeemable preferred securities issued by its subsidiary trusts as long-term debt and related distributions as interest expense. These securities are described in Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Amendment of SFAS No. 133
During the second quarter of 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 reflects decisions made by FASB and its Derivatives Implementation Group in connection with issues raised about the application of SFAS No. 133. Generally, changes resulting from SFAS No. 149 apply to contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. Although industry efforts to interpret SFAS No. 149 are ongoing, Dominion believes that SFAS 149 will not have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position based on an assessment of currently available information.
Note 4. Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Other Accounting Matters
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
In January 2003, FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, (FIN 46) which addresses the consolidation of "variable interest entities" (VIEs). VIEs are entities that are not controllable through voting interests or in which the equity investors do not bear the residual economic risks and rewards. In October 2003, FASB decided to permit more time for the implementation of FIN 46 and now requires adoption as of December 31, 2003.
Leases with Special Purpose Entities
Dominion, through certain subsidiaries, has entered into agreements with VIEs in order to finance and lease several new power generation projects, as well as its corporate headquarters and aircraft. Neither the project assets nor the related obligations are currently reported on Dominion's Consolidated Balance Sheets under existing accounting guidance.
Dominion estimates that consolidating those VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary under FIN 46, effective December 31, 2003, will result in an additional $647 million in net property, plant and equipment and $688 million of related debt. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 46 is estimated to result in an after-tax charge of $25 million, representing depreciation expense associated with the consolidated assets.
At September 30, 2003, Dominion's maximum exposure to loss resulting from its interests in VIEs is $567 million based upon total project costs. The exposure assumes the property, plant and equipment will have no value at the end of their lease terms, which management believes is highly unlikely.
Trust Preferred Securities
Dominion established five capital trusts that sold trust preferred securities to third party investors. Dominion received the proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities in exchange for various junior subordinated debt instruments issued by Dominion to be held by the trusts. Under existing accounting guidance, Dominion consolidates the trusts in the preparation of its Consolidated Financial Statements. Under FIN 46, Dominion will cease consolidating the trusts beginning on December 31, 2003. Upon adoption, Dominion's Consolidated Balance Sheets will report the junior subordinated instruments held by the trusts as long-term debt, rather than the trust preferred securities.

Other SFAS No. 133 Guidance
In connection with a request to reconsider an interpretation of SFAS No. 133, FASB issued Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. C20, Interpretation of the Meaning of 'Not Clearly and Closely Related' in Paragraph 10(b) regarding Contracts with a Price Adjustment Feature. Under C20, criteria are established to determine if a contract's pricing terms that contain broad market indices (e.g., the consumer price index) could qualify as a normal purchase or sale and therefore not be subject to fair value accounting. Dominion has several contracts that are subject to the C20 guidance. Dominion estimates the cumulative effect of adopting C20 to be an after-tax charge of approximately $75 million, representing the fair value of contracts as of October 1, 2003. Price adjustments in these contracts satisfy the normal purchase and sale criteria as defined under C20.
Balance Sheet Classification - Mineral Rights
Companies with gas and oil exploration and production operations have become aware that a question has arisen about whether contractual mineral rights should be classified as intangible assets rather than tangible assets on the balance sheet as a result of SFAS Nos. 141, Business Combinations, and 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. If, as a result of the resolution of this issue, reclassification of the costs associated with its mineral rights is required, Dominion's net intangible assets would increase and its net property, plant and equipment would decrease. As of September 30, 2003, the amount subject to reclassification was approximately $4.0 billion. While resolution of this issue may affect the balance sheet classification of these assets, there would be no impact on Dominion's results of operations or cash flows.
Balance Sheet Classification - Provision for Future Cost of Removal by Regulated Operations
Dominion adopted SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 143 provides accounting requirements for the recognition and measurement of liabilities associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets.
In accordance with applicable regulatory uniform system of accounts and as permitted by SFAS No. 71, Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation, Dominion's gas and electric utility operations recognize a provision for the cost of future asset removal activities subject to cost-of-service rate regulation, even if no legal obligation to perform such activities exists. The periodic provision is recorded as a component of depreciation expense on the income statement, resulting in a credit being recorded in accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization on the balance sheet. At September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, Dominion's accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization included $563 million and $596 million, respectively, representing regulatory liabilities for the estimated amounts collected from customers for the future cost of such asset removal activities.
A question has recently arisen about whether these regulatory liabilities should continue to be classified in accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization or be reported as liabilities on the balance sheet. If, as a result of the resolution of this issue, reclassification of this accumulated provision for future removal costs is required, Dominion's accumulated depreciation would decrease and its regulatory liabilities would increase. While resolution of this issue may affect the balance sheet classification of these items, there would be no impact on Dominion's results of operations or cash flows.

Relates primarily to deferred tax assets of Dominion's telecommunications investment and financial services subsidiary. The valuation allowance was increased as Dominion considers it "more likely than not" that those deferred tax assets will not be realized.(3)
Amounts for 2002 reflect the effect of including certain subsidiaries in Dominion's consolidated state income tax returns.(4)
Nonconventional fuel credits were not available after January 1, 2003.
