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 serves approximately 2.2 million retail customer accounts, including governmental agencies, and wholesale customers such as rural electric cooperatives, municipalities, power marketers and other utilities. Virginia Power has trading relationships beyond the geographic limits of its retail service territory and buys and sells natural gas, electricity, and other energy-related 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 gas distribution subsidiaries serve approximately 1.7 million residential, commercial and industrial gas sales and transportation customer accounts in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia and its nonregulated retail energy marketing businesses serve approximately 1.4 million residential and commercial customer accounts in the Northeast and Midwest. CNG operates an interstate gas transmission pipeline system in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic states and the Northeast and a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import and storage facility in Maryland. Its producer services operations involve the aggregation of natural gas supply and related wholesale activities. CNG's exploration and production operations are located in several major gas and oil producing basins in the United States, both onshore and offshore.
DEI is involved in merchant generation, energy trading and marketing and natural gas and oil exploration and production.
Dominion has substantially exited the core operating businesses of Dominion Capital, Inc. (DCI), as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the 1935 Act. Currently, Dominion is required to divest all remaining DCI holdings by January 2006. DCI's primary business was financial services, including loan administration, commercial lending and residential mortgage lending.
Dominion manages its daily operations through four primary operating segments: Dominion Generation, Dominion Energy, Dominion Delivery and Dominion Exploration & Production. In addition, Dominion reports a Corporate and Other segment that includes the operations of DCI, Dominion's corporate, service company and other operations (including unallocated debt) and the net impact of Dominion's discontinued telecommunications operations that were sold in May 2004. Assets remain wholly owned by its 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 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, 2003 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2004.
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, 2004, its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

DOMINION RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
Dominion makes certain estimates and assumptions in preparing its Consolidated Financial Statements 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 revenue and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include, after eliminating intercompany transactions and balances, the accounts of Dominion and all majority-owned subsidiaries, and those variable interest entities where Dominion is the primary beneficiary.
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, electric fuel and energy purchases and purchased gas expenses and other factors.
Certain amounts in the 2003 Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 presentation.
Stock Compensation
The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share (EPS) 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:

Note 3. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
2004
FIN 46R
Dominion adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, (FIN 46R) for its interests in variable interest entities (VIEs) that are not considered special purpose entities on March 31, 2004. FIN 46R addresses the identification and consolidation of VIEs, which are entities that are not controllable through voting interests or in which the VIEs' equity investors do not bear the residual economic risks and rewards. There was no impact on Dominion's results of operations or financial position related to this adoption.
As described in Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, Dominion is a party to long-term contracts for purchases of electric generation capacity and energy from qualifying facilities and independent power producers. Certain variable pricing terms in some of these contracts cause them to be considered potential variable interests that require evaluation under the provisions of FIN 46R. If a power generator that holds one of these specific types of contracts is determined to be a VIE and Dominion is determined to be the primary beneficiary, Dominion would be required to consolidate the entity in its financial statements. Consolidation of one of these potential VIEs would primarily result in the addition of property, plant and equipment, long-term debt and minority interest to Dominion's balance sheet. The impact on Dominion's consolidated results of operations would be that purchased energy and capacity expenses attributabl
e to the long-term contract with the VIE would be replaced by the VIE's operations, maintenance and interest expense, with the VIE's results of operations being reported as income attributable to a minority interest. Long-term debt of these potential VIEs, even if consolidated, would be nonrecourse to Dominion.
At March 31, 2004, Dominion had determined that its contracts with ten of these entities would require further analysis under FIN 46R. Since these entities were established and are legally owned by parties not affiliated with Dominion, Dominion submitted requests to these potential VIEs for the information necessary to perform the required assessments. In response to these requests, one of the potential VIE supplier entities provided some of the requested information. Using this information, Dominion has completed its analysis, the results of which indicate that Dominion is not the primary beneficiary of this supplier entity under FIN 46R. The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) has added a project to its agenda to consider what variability should be considered when determining whether an interest is a variable interest. This EITF project or other efforts to further interpret FIN 46R could require a reassessment of this information.
Because the requested information has not been provided by the other nine potential VIEs, Dominion is unable to apply FIN 46R to its interests in those entities. Dominion will continue efforts to obtain the information and, if it is received in the future, will evaluate these contracts under the provisions of FIN 46R at that time.
Dominion has remaining purchase commitments under contracts with these ten potential VIEs of $4.6 billion at June 30, 2004. Dominion purchased $157 million and $144 million of electric generation capacity and energy from these entities in the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $331 million and $328 million in the six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Dominion's exposure to losses from its involvement with these entities cannot be determined since losses, if any, would be represented by either: 1) the difference between (a) the amount payable by Dominion for energy and capacity under the long-term contract and (b) amounts recoverable through regulated electric sales or wholesale market transactions; or 2) if the potential VIE supplier fails to perform, any amount paid by Dominion to obtain replacement energy and capacity in excess of the amounts otherwise payable under the long-term contract with the potential VIE supplier entity.
As described more fully in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, Dominion adopted FIN 46R for its interests in special purpose entities on December 31, 2003.

(Continued)
2003
SFAS No. 143
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. Upon adoption, Dominion recognized a $180 million after-tax gain as the cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle.
EITF 02-3
On January 1, 2003, Dominion adopted 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, that rescinded EITF Issue No. 98-10, Accounting for Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities. The implementation of EITF 02-3 resulted in the discontinuance of fair value accounting for non-derivative energy-related contracts held for trading purposes. Upon adoption, Dominion recognized an after-tax loss of $67 million as the cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle.
EITF 03-11
Dominion adopted EITF Issue No. 03-11, Reporting Realized Gains and Losses on Derivative Instruments That Are Subject to FASB Statement No. 133 and Not "Held for Trading Purposes" as Defined in Issue No. 02-3, on October 1, 2003. EITF 03-11 addresses classification of income statement related amounts for derivative contracts. Income statement amounts related to periods prior to October 1, 2003 are presented as originally reported.
Note 4. Classification of Oil and Gas Drilling Rights
Companies with oil and gas exploration and production operations have become aware that a question has arisen about whether oil and gas drilling rights should be classified as intangible assets rather than tangible assets on the balance sheet. In July 2004, the FASB issued a proposed staff position to clarify that an exception outlined in SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, includes the balance sheet classification of drilling and mineral rights of oil and gas producing entities. Under FASB's proposal, Dominion would continue to present its oil and gas drilling rights ($4.3 billion at June 30, 2004) as tangible assets.
Note 5. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
EITF 03-1
In March 2004, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF on Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. EITF 03-1 provides guidance for evaluating whether certain investments in debt and equity securities are other-than-temporarily impaired and is effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 30, 2004. Dominion does not expect a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements from the initial application of this new guidance.

Note 6. Electric Deregulation in Virginia
In April 2004, the Governor of Virginia signed into law amendments to the Virginia Electric Utility Restructuring Act (Virginia Restructuring Act) and the Virginia fuel factor statute. The amendments extend capped base rates by three and one-half years, to December 31, 2010, unless modified or terminated earlier under the Virginia Restructuring Act. In addition to extending capped rates, the amendments:
In the second quarter of 2004, Dominion recognized a $23 million after-tax charge for 2004 fuel expenses incurred through April 14, 2004 that are no longer recoverable under the new law.
Note 7. Volumetric Production Payment (VPP) Transaction
In May 2004, Dominion received $413 million in cash for the sale of a fixed-term overriding royalty interest in certain of its natural gas reserves for the period May 2004 through April 2008. The sale reduced Dominion's proved natural gas reserves by approximately 83 billion cubic feet (bcf). While Dominion is obligated under the agreement to deliver to the purchaser its portion of future natural gas production from the properties, it retains control of the properties and rights to future development drilling. If production from the properties is inadequate to deliver approximately 83 bcf of natural gas scheduled for delivery to the purchaser, Dominion has no obligation to make up the shortfall. Cash proceeds received from this VPP transaction were recorded as deferred revenue. Dominion will recognize revenue from the transaction as natural gas is produced and delivered to the purchaser. Dominion previously entered into a VPP transaction in 2003 for approximately 66 bcf for the period August 2003 through Aug
ust 2007.

Dominion is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in the price of natural gas, electricity and other energy-related commodities marketed and purchased as well as currency exchange and interest rate risks of its business operations. Dominion uses derivative instruments to mitigate its exposure to these risks and designates derivative instruments as fair value or cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.

The actual amounts that will be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months will vary from the expected amounts presented above as a result of changes in market prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The effect of amounts being reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss 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.
Note 12. Ceiling Test
Dominion follows the full cost method of accounting for gas and oil exploration and production activities prescribed by the SEC. Under the full cost 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 anticipated production of proved gas and oil reserves, assuming period-end hedge-adjusted prices. Approximately 15% of Dominion's anticipated production is hedged by qualifying cash flow hedges, for which hedge-adjusted prices were used to calculate estimated future net revenue. Whether period-end market prices or hedge-adjusted prices were used for the portion of production that is hedged, there was no ceiling test impairment as of June 30, 2004.

Dominion, Virginia Power and CNG (collectively the Dominion Companies) use short-term debt, primarily commercial paper, to fund working capital requirements and as bridge financing for acquisitions, if applicable. The levels of borrowing may vary significantly during the course of the year, depending upon the timing and amount of cash requirements not satisfied by cash from operations. At June 30, 2004, the Dominion Companies had committed credit facilities totaling $3.25 billion. Although there were no loans outstanding, these credit facilities support commercial paper borrowings and letter of credit issuances. At June 30, 2004, the Dominion Companies had the following commercial paper and letters of credit outstanding and capacity available under credit facilities:

The $1.5 billion three-year revolving credit facility was entered into in May 2004 and terminates in May 2007. This credit facility can also be used to support up to $500 million of letters of credit.
In June 2004, CNG entered into a $300 million letter of credit agreement that terminates in August 2004 and a $100 million letter of credit agreement that terminates in June 2007. These agreements support letter of credit issuances, providing collateral required on derivative financial contracts used by CNG in its risk management strategies for gas and oil production. At June 30, 2004, outstanding letters of credit under these agreements totaled $300 million.
