  1. INTERIM REPORTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

General Organization and Legal Description

Dominion Resources, Inc. (Dominion or the Company) is a holding company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. Its principal subsidiaries are Virginia Electric and Power Company (Virginia Power) and Consolidated Natural Gas Company (CNG). Dominion is subject to the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (1935 Act).


Virginia Power is a regulated public utility engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electric energy within a 30,000 square-mile area in Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Virginia Power sells electricity to approximately 2.1 million retail customers (including governmental agencies) and to wholesale customers such as rural electric cooperatives, municipalities, power marketers and other utilities. Virginia Power engages in off-system wholesale purchases and sales of electricity and purchases and sales of natural gas beyond the geographic limits of its retail service territory.


CNG operates in all phases of the natural gas industry, including exploration for and production of oil and natural gas in the United States. 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 services each of its distribution subsidiaries, non-affiliated utilities and end use customers in the Midwest, the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast states. CNG's exploration and production operations are conducted in several of the major gas and oil producing basins in the United States, both onshore and offshore. CNG also holds an equity investment in energy activities in Australia which are held for sale. For more information, see Note 5 in the Dominion Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.


The Company's other major subsidiaries are Dominion Energy, Inc. (DEI) and Dominion Capital, Inc. (DCI). DEI is engaged in independent power production and the acquisition and production of natural gas and oil reserves. In Canada, DEI is engaged in natural gas exploration, production and storage. DCI is Dominion's financial services subsidiary. DCI's primary business is financial services which includes loan administration and residential mortgage lending. See Note 6 in the Dominion Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, for a discussion of management's strategy to exit and windup DCI's businesses as ordered by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the 1935 Act.


In 2000, Dominion created a subsidiary service company under the 1935 Act, Dominion Resources Services, Inc. (Services), which provided certain services to Dominion's operating subsidiaries. CNG also had a service company during 2000. Effective January 1, 2001, the two service companies were combined into one service company.


Dominion manages its operations based on the following operating segments: Dominion Energy, Dominion Delivery and Dominion Exploration & Production. In addition, Dominion also reviews the financial services business of DCI and Corporate Operations as segments.


While Dominion manages its daily operations as described above, assets remain wholly owned by its legal subsidiaries. For more information on business segments, see Note (L).

"Dominion" or the "Company" 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's consolidated subsidiaries or the entirety of Dominion Resources, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

GENERAL

In the opinion of Dominion's management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2001, the results of operations for the three-months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, and cash flows for the

PAGE 9

DOMINION RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(CONTINUED)

three-months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000.


These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in the Dominion Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Dominion and its subsidiaries, with all significant intercompany transactions and accounts eliminated on consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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.

Certain amounts in the 2000 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2001 presentation.

Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share, Dominion's computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2001 resulted in a $0.01 decrease in earnings per share when compared to the calculation of basic earnings per share. This reduction is due to the inclusion in the calculation of diluted earnings per share of 2.5 million stock options to purchase common shares. These options were granted to employees of Dominion and its affiliates under the Dominion Incentive Compensation Plan.

  1. ACQUISITIONS

MILLSTONE NUCLEAR POWER STATION

Dominion completed its purchase of Millstone Nuclear Power Station (Millstone), located in Waterford, Connecticut, from subsidiaries of Northeast Utilities and other owners on March 31, 2001. The plant is reported in the Dominion Energy operating segment. The purchase price of $1.3 billion included $1.2 billion for plant assets and $105 million for nuclear fuel. The acquisition includes an 100% ownership interest in Unit 1 and Unit 2 and a 93.47% ownership interest in Unit 3 for a total of 1,954 Mw of generating capacity. Unit 1 is being decommissioned and is no longer in service. Dominion acquired the decommissioning trusts for the three units which were fully funded to the regulatory minimum at closing.

The allocation of the purchase price has been assigned to assets and liabilities acquired based on the estimated fair value of those assets and liabilities as of the date of the acquisition. The purchase price is also subject to certain post closing adjustments. The Company may make adjustments during 2001 for any post-closing purchase price adjustments and to the allocation of the purchase price for changes in the Company's preliminary assumptions and analyses based on receipt of additional information, including actuarial valuations of Millstone's pension and other postretirement benefit plan obligations and independent appraisals of facilities and inventories.

CONSOLIDATED NATURAL GAS

On January 28, 2000, Dominion acquired CNG's shares of outstanding common stock for $6.4 billion, consisting of approximately 87 million shares valued at $3.5 billion and approximately $2.9 billion in cash. For more information, see Note 5 in the Dominion Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

(C) DOMINION FIBER VENTURES, LLC

On December 19, 2000, Dominion formed Dominion Fiber Ventures, LLC (DFV). On March 16, 2001, Dominion contributed through DT Services, Inc. (DTSI) all of the outstanding shares of its telecommunications subsidiary, Dominion Telecom, Inc. (DTI), formerly VPS Communications, with an equity value of $110 million, in exchange for 100% of Class B managing membership interests in DFV. A third-party investor trust (Investor Trust) contributed $60 million for 100% of the Class A membership interests in DFV. DFV is the sole owner of DTI. DTI will continue to own and operate the existing telecommunications business of Dominion. As a result of the contribution to the joint venture, DTI is no longer consolidated, and Dominion's investment in the joint venture is accounted for using the equity method.

On March 16, 2001, DFV issued $665 million of 7.05% Senior Secured Notes due March 15, 2005 (DFV Senior Notes). The DFV Senior Notes are redeemable at any time at the option of DFV or upon occurrence of certain events. DFV contributed $712 million net cash proceeds from the issuance of DFV Senior Notes and the sale of the Class A membership interests to DTI and Monument Overfund Trust (Overfund Trust), approximating $518 million and $194 million, respectively. Overfund Trust is owned by DFV. The DFV Senior Notes are secured by the stock of DTI and the Overfund Trust and certain rights of the Share Trust with respect to the Dominion Preferred Stock described below. The proceeds contributed to DTI will be used to facilitate the expansion of DTI's telecommunications businesses. Temporarily, the unused cash has been loaned to Dominion and used by it to repay commercial paper. The amount in Overfund Trust will be invested in Dominion debt securities or other financial investments. The interest and principal payments on such investments are expected to generate amounts sufficient to make interest PAGE 11

payments on the DFV Senior Notes through maturity and make return requirements payments on Investor Trust's membership interests in DFV.


As a result of the formation of DFV joint venture and the issuance of the DFV Senior Notes, Dominion issued 665,000 shares of its Series A Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock, liquidation preference $1,000 per share, (Preferred Stock) to Piedmont Share Trust (Share Trust) at closing. Dominion is the beneficial owner of the Share Trust which is consolidated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of Dominion. Share Trust is established with the intention of allowing for the remarketing of Preferred Stock in an amount sufficient to retire the DFV Senior Notes or the conversion of the Preferred Stock into Dominion common stock. The right to cause remarketing of the Preferred Stock is part of the security for the DFV Senior Notes.

(D) DERIVATIVES AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING

ADOPTION OF SFAS NO. 133

The Company adopted SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, on January 1, 2001. The Company 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 initial adoption of SFAS No. 133. The Company expects to reclassify this entire amount to earnings during the year ending December 31, 2001. The actual amounts that will be reclassified to earnings over the twelve months subsequent to initial adoption will vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions. The effect of the charges 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.

 

Risk Management Policy

The Company uses derivatives to manage the commodity and financial market risks of its business operations. Dominion manages the price risk associated with purchases and sales of natural gas and oil by utilizing derivative commodity instruments including futures, forwards, options, swaps and collars. Dominion manages its foreign exchange risk associated anticipated future purchases denominated in foreign currencies by utilizing currency forward contracts. Dominion manages its interest rate risk exposure, in part, by entering into interest rate swap transactions.

As part of its strategy to market energy from its generation capacity and to manage related risks, Dominion manages a portfolio of derivative commodity contracts held for trading purposes. These contracts are sensitive to changes in the prices of natural gas and electricity. Dominion employs established policies and procedures to manage the risks associated with these price fluctuations and uses various commodity instruments, such as futures, swaps and options, to reduce risk by creating offsetting market positions.

The Company designates a substantial portion of derivatives held for purposes other than trading as fair value or cash flow hedges. A significant portion of the Company's hedge strategies represents cash flow hedges of the variable price risk associated with purchases and sales of natural gas, oil and other commodities, of variability in foreign exchange rates and of variable interest rates on long-term debt using derivative instruments discussed in the preceding paragraphs. However, the Company also engages in fair value hedges by utilizing natural gas swaps, futures and options to mitigate the fixed price exposure inherent in the Company's firm commitments and interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to fixed interest rates on certain long-term debt. Certain of the Company's non-trading derivative instruments, which management believes are economic hedges and mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates, are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

 

PAGE 12

DOMINION RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(CONTINUED)


Accounting Policy

Under SFAS No. 133, derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, unless a scope exception is available under the standard. Commodity contracts representing unrealized gain positions are reported as commodity contract assets; commodity contracts representing unrealized losses are reported as commodity contract liabilities. In addition, purchased options and options sold are reported as commodity contract assets and commodity contract liabilities, respectively, at estimated market value until exercise or expiration. Cash flows from derivative instruments are presented in net cash flow from operating activities.

For all derivatives designated as a hedge, the Company formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the hedging instrument. The Company assesses, both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the hedge relationship between the derivative and the hedged item is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows. Any change in fair value of the derivative resulting from ineffectiveness, as defined by SFAS No. 133, is recognized currently in earnings. Further, for derivatives that have ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively.

For fair value hedge transactions in which the Company is hedging changes in fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment, changes in the fair value of the derivative will generally be offset in the consolidated statements of income by changes in the hedged item's fair value. For cash flow hedge transactions in which the Company is hedging the variability of cash flows related to a variable-priced asset, liability, commitment, or forecasted transaction, changes in the fair value of the derivative are reported in AOCI. The gains and losses on the derivatives that are reported in AOCI are reclassified as earnings in the periods in which earnings are impacted by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged item. The ineffective portion of derivatives' changes in fair value and the change in fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are recognized in current-period earnings. For foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges, hedge effectiveness is measured based on changes in the fair value of the contract attributable to changes in the forward exchange rate. For options designated either as fair value or cash flow hedges, changes in time value are excluded from the measurement of hedge effectiveness and are, therefore, recorded in earnings.

Gains and losses on derivatives designated as hedges, when recognized, are included in the operating revenue and income, expenses and interest and related charges in the consolidated statements of income. Specific line item classification is determined based on the nature of the risk underlying individual hedge strategies. Net derivative gains and losses associated with Dominion's commodity trading activities are accounted for net of related cost of sales in non-regulated electric sales and non-regulated gas sales. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges and the portion of hedging derivatives excluded from the measurement of effectiveness are included in other operation and maintenance expense in the consolidated statements of income.

Certain commodity contracts held by the Company for trading purposes are not derivatives as defined by SFAS No. 133, but are reported at fair value in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 98-10, Accounting for Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities, pursuant to the policy set forth above.

March 31, 2001 Derivatives and Hedge Accounting Results

The Company recognized a pre-tax reduction to earnings of approximately $15 million for hedge ineffectiveness during the quarter ended March 31, 2001. This amount, which relates entirely to cash flow hedges, is primarily reported as a reduction to revenue in the consolidated statements of income. In addition, the Company recognized a pre-tax increase to earnings of approximately $2 million representing the change in time value of options not used in the assessment of effectiveness for cash flow hedges.

$(61)

Approximately $49 million of net losses in AOCI at March 31, 2001 is expected to be reclassified to earnings within 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 conditions. The effect of the charges 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 March 31, 2001, Dominion is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions generally over periods of one to two years, however certain transactions are forecasted to occur over periods of up to five years.

The Derivatives Implementation Group (DIG), a group sponsored by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), continues to develop interpretive guidance. Future interpretations of SFAS No. 133 by the DIG or the FASB could result in fair value accounting being required for certain contracts that are not currently being subjected to such requirements. Accordingly, such future interpretations may impact the Company's ultimate application of the standard.

(E) RESTRUCTURING AND ACQUISITION-RELATED ACTIVITIES

On January 28, 2000, as a result of the acquisition of CNG, Dominion implemented a plan to restructure the operations of the combined companies. During the first quarter of 2000, Dominion recorded $130 million for charges in connection with restructuring and acquisition-related activities to consolidate business operations and integrate administrative functions. A summary of these costs follows:

(G) ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Accounting for Pension Costs

The financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2000 have been restated to reflect a change in the method of calculating the market related value of pension plan assets used to determine the expected return on pension plan assets, a component of net periodic pension cost. Under the new method, which was adopted in the third quarter of 2000 and effective January 1, 2000, the market related value of pension plan assets reflects the difference between actual investment returns and expected investment returns evenly over a four-year period.

A cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $21 million (net of income taxes of $11 million) is included in income for the first quarter ended 2000. The overall effect of the change for the three months ending March 31, 2000 was to increase income before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle by $6 million and net income by $27 million.

For additional information on the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle concerning accounting for net periodic pension costs, see Note 3 in the Dominion Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Accounting for Oil and Gas Activities

Effective upon the acquisition of CNG on January 28, 2000, Dominion changed its method of accounting for oil and gas exploration and production activities to the full cost method of accounting. Previously, Dominion accounted for these activities, which were primarily directed toward development and extraction rather than exploration, using the successful efforts method of accounting.

Prior year financial statements have been restated to reflect this change on a retroactive basis. The effect of the accounting change on income for the three-months ended March 31, 2000 was insignificant.

For more information on the change in method of accounting for oil and gas exploration and production activities to the full cost method of accounting, see Note 3 in the Dominion Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

(H) COMMON STOCK

At March 31, 2001, there were 500,000,000 shares of Dominion common stock authorized of which 246,986,750 were issued and outstanding. Common shares issued and purchased during the referenced periods were as follows:

exchange for the $300 million realized from the sale of the preferred securities and approximately $9 million of common securities of DR Capital Trust II. The common securities, which are held by Dominion, represent the remaining 3% beneficial ownership interest in the assets held by DR Capital Trust II. The Debentures constitute 100% of DR Capital Trust II's assets. DR Capital Trust III sold 250,000 Capital Securities for approximately $247 million, representing preferred beneficial interests and 97% beneficial ownership in the assets held by DR Capital Trust III. Dominion issued approximately $258 million of 8.4% Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2031 in exchange for the $247 million realized from the sale of the Capital Securities and approximately $8 million of common securities of DR Capital Trust III.

The Debentures constitute 100% of DR Capital Trust III's assets.

In December 1997, Dominion established Dominion Resources Capital Trust I (DR Capital Trust). DR Capital Trust sold 250,000 shares of capital securities for $250 million, representing preferred beneficial interests and 97% beneficial ownership in the assets held by DR Capital Trust. Dominion issued $258 million of 7.83% Junior Subordinated Debentures (Debentures) in exchange for the $250 million realized from the sale of the capital securities and $8 million of common securities of DR Capital Trust. The common securities, which are held by Dominion, represent the remaining 3% beneficial ownership interest in the assets held by DR Capital Trust. The Debentures constitute 100% of DR Capital Trust's assets.

In 1995, Virginia Power established Virginia Power Capital Trust I (VP Capital Trust). VP Capital Trust sold 5.4 million shares of preferred securities for $135 million, representing preferred beneficial interests and 97% beneficial ownership in the assets held by VP Capital Trust. Virginia Power issued $139 million of its 1995 Series A, 8.05% Junior Subordinated Notes (the Notes) in exchange for the $135 million realized from the sale of the preferred securities and $4 million of common securities of VP Capital Trust. The common securities, which are held by Virginia Power, represent the remaining 3% beneficial ownership interest in the assets held by VP Capital Trust. The Notes constitute 100% of VP Capital Trust's assets.

(K) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

RESTRUCTURING OF CONTRACTS WITH NON-UTILITY GENERATING FACILITIES

In the first quarter of 2001, the Company completed the purchase of three generating facilities and the termination of seven contracts which provided electricity to the Company under long-term purchase agreements with non-utility generators. The company recorded a one-time charge of $136 million after tax in connection with the purchase and termination of long-term power purchase agreements. Cash payments related to the purchase of the three generating facilities totaled $207 million. The allocation of the purchase price was assigned to the assets and liabilities acquired based upon estimated fair values and future cash flows as of the date of acquisition. Substantially all of the value was attributed to the power purchase contracts which were terminated and resulted in a charge to operation and maintenance expense.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

In addition, Dominion also reviews the financial services businesses of DCI and Corporate Operations as business segments. The Corporate Operations category includes:

  • corporate costs of Dominion's and CNG's holding companies;
  • Corby Power (UK) operations, prior to its sale on September 29, 2000;
  • intercompany eliminations;
  • restructuring and acquisition related costs (see Note (E));
  • cumulative effect of a change in the method of accounting for pensions (see Note (G));
  • cumulative effect of a change in the method of accounting for derivatives (see Note (D));

(M) SALE OF ASSETS BY DOMINION CAPITAL

In March 2001, DCI securitized $423 million of commercial loan commitments held by First Source Financial, LLP and First Dominion Capital LLC in a collateralized loan obligation (CLO) transaction. In the securitization, the loans were sold to an unconsolidated special purpose loan securitization trust, First Source Loan Obligations Insured Trust, in exchange for cash proceeds of $381 million. In addition, DCI holds a $196 million investment in the subordinated debt of the CLO. First Source will manage the financial assets of the CLO. Under SFAS No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, the transfer is accounted for as a sale to the extent that consideration other than beneficial interests in the transferred assets is received in the exchange. No gain or loss was recorded as a result of the transaction.

(N) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In April 2001, First Dominion Capital, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of DCI restructured a commercial loan with Imrex, LLC, one of its borrowers. In exchange for satisfaction of $75 million of debt, First Dominion Capital received 100% of the stock of Gichner Systems, Inc. and Microelectronics, LLC.

  1. LONG-TERM DEBT AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

Long-Term Debt Activity

During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, Dominion issued the following long-term debt securities, excluding debt associated with financial services operations:

  • $1 billion of 2-year fixed rate 6% notes;
  • $600 million of 5.75% senior notes due 2006;
  • $50 million of variable rate tax-exempt pollution control revenue bonds due 2031;

PAGE 19

DOMINION RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(CONTINUED)


During the first quarter of 2001, Dominion repaid approximately $117 million of long-term debt securities, excluding debt repayments associated with financial services operations.

In connection with purchases and originations of financial services loans and sales and collections of loans during the first quarter of 2001, the Company issued and repaid $1.5 billion of long-term debt.

In April 2001, Dominion issued $500 million of 6.85% Senior Notes due 2011. In addition, in April 2001, Dominion repaid $5 million in scheduled maturities of medium-term notes and $100 million in connection with the early redemption of first and refunding mortgage bonds.

Dividend Restrictions

CNG has indentures related to its long-term debt, one of which contained restrictions on dividend payments at December 31, 2000. As of that date, $19 million of CNG's consolidated retained earnings were free from such restriction. In March 2001, CNG requested and obtained the consent of debt holders to amend the indenture to eliminate certain provisions of the indenture, including the restriction on the dividend payment. CNG received an order from the SEC under the 1935 Act, on March 19, 2001, approving the amendment of the indenture.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Introduction

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations explain the general financial condition and the results of operations for Dominion. "Dominion" or the "Company" 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's consolidated subsidiaries, or the entirety of Dominion Resources, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Business Segments

On March 3, 2000, Dominion announced a new business structure that integrates CNG's businesses, streamlines operations and positions Dominion for long-term growth in the competitive market place. For more information on the Company's operating segments, see Note (L) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In general, Dominion has structured its Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to reflect the business segments. However, certain activities discussed under Liquidity and Capital Resources are currently evaluated based on existing legal entities rather than the operating segments defined by the new organizational structure because the Company continues to manage these matters by legal entity.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 VERSUS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000

This section provides variance explanations for the consolidated and business segment operations of Dominion. The comparative time periods are the three months ended March 31, 2001 versus the same period in 2000.

Dominion is comprised of three core operating segments, Dominion Energy, Dominion Delivery and Dominion
Exploration & Production. The other two reporting segments are Dominion Capital, Inc. (DCI) and Corporate.

Dominion Energy

Dominion Energy includes Dominion's generation portfolio, consisting of generating units and power purchase agreements. It also manages the Company's generation growth strategy; energy trading, marketing, hedging and

arbitrage activities; gas pipeline; and certain gas production and storage operations.

Dominion Energy's contribution to net income increased by $44 million. Regulated electric sales increased due to customer growth and colder weather in the Company's electric franchise service territory. Nonregulated electric and gas sales and oil and gas production revenues increased primarily due to the inclusion of CNG operations for the entire

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)


first quarter in 2001 as compared to only the post-acquisition period in the first quarter of 2000. Other revenues increased due to higher wholesale margins realized at the Company's marketing operations. Operating expenses increased because of higher purchased gas costs due to the inclusion of CNG operations for the entire quarter in 2001. Other taxes were higher due to a tax refund in the first quarter of 2000. Operating expenses decreased due to a reduction in depreciation as a result of extending by 20 years the estimated useful lives of Dominion Energy's nuclear facilities, effective January 2001, in connection with license extensions to be filed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in mid-2001.

Dominion Delivery


Dominion Delivery consists primarily of Dominion's electric transmission and distribution system and local gas distribution systems.


Dominion Delivery's contribution to net income increased by $41million. Higher regulated gas sales and gas transportation

and storage revenues were realized due to the inclusion of CNG's operations for the entire quarter in 2001. Higher regulated gas sales also increased due to colder weather in the gas franchise territories. The increased sales and revenues were offset by higher operating expenses during 2001. The primary reason for the increase was higher purchased gas costs at CNG's gas distribution businesses due to higher gas prices. The increase was also due to the inclusion of CNG's gas distribution operating expenses for the entire quarter in 2001.

Dominion Exploration & Production

Dominion Exploration & Production consists of the gas and oil exploration, development and production operations of Dominion Energy and CNG.

Dominion Exploration & Production's contribution to net income increased by $25 million. Oil and gas production revenues increased because of higher oil and gas prices. The average price during the first quarter of 2001 was approximately $3.80/mcfe, a $1.07/mcfe increase over the average price during the first quarter of 2000. In addition, oil and gas production revenues increased due to the inclusion of CNG's operations for the entire quarter in 2001. The increase in revenues was partially offset by increased operating expenses. Operation and maintenance expenses increased due to higher service industry and contractor costs.

Income taxes increased due to higher taxes related to the Company's Canadian production and lower Internal Revenue Code Section 29 production tax credits recorded this year when compared to last year.

DCI

Other revenues decreased due to significantly lower interest income resulting from the sale of a substantial portion of the commercial loan portfolio. This decrease was partially offset by slightly higher securitization gains. Securitization of loans involves selling the loans to an unconsolidated special purpose trust in exchange for cash proceeds while retaining a partial interest in the loans securitized. The mortgage lending volumes of DCI's financial services businesses decreased from $528 million in the first quarter of 2000 to $500 million in the same period of 2001. The commercial finance operations portfolio decreased from $2.1 billion at March 31, 2000 to $268 million at March 31, 2001, reflecting the sale of loans and winding down initiatives.

Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased primarily due to lower general and administrative expenses resulting from reduced operations.

Corporate Operations

Corporate Operation's contribution to net income decreased by $115 million primarily due to the charge related to the purchase of three non-utility generating plants previously serving the company under long-term contracts. See

Statements. Also, corporate expenses increased due to the inclusion of CNG operations for the entire quarter in 2001 as compared to only the post-acquisition period in the first quarter of 2000. Fixed charges increased by $ 29 million primarily due to interest on the debt incurred to finance the acquisition of CNG.

In addition, results of operations for the first quarter of 2000 reflect the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. During the quarter ended September 30, 2000, as a result of its acquisition of CNG, Dominion adopted a new company-wide method of calculating the market related value of plan assets for pension plans. The market related value of plan assets is used to determine the expected return on plan assets, a component of net periodic pension cost. The cumulative effect of this accounting change as of January 1, 2000 was $21 million (net of income taxes of $11 million).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In discussing liquidity and capital resources, "Dominion" or "the Company" is used to discuss the consolidated operations of Dominion Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Accordingly, such terms in this discussion represent the legal entity, Dominion Resources, Inc., or the individual subsidiary as appropriate.

Internal Sources of Liquidity

Cash flow from operating activities provided $922 million during the first quarter of 2001 and $445 million in the first quarter of 2000. Cash requirements not met by the timing or amount of cash flow from operations are generally satisfied with proceeds from the short-term borrowings, sales of securities in the case of major acquisitions and additional long-term debt financings.

External Sources of Liquidity

During the first three months of 2001, Dominion issued primarily long-term debt and preferred securities of subsidiary trusts, totaling $4.46 billion. As discussed below, proceeds were used primarily to repay short-term debt, finance the acquisition of Millstone Nuclear Power Station (Millstone) and support financial services operations.

CNG Acquisition and Related Financing

Dominion originally financed the CNG acquisition with bridge financing consisting of a $3.5 billion commercial paper program and $1 billion of short-term, privately placed notes. Dominion refinanced a significant portion of the bridge financing in 2000. In January 2001, Dominion issued $300 million of 8.4% Capital Securities due in January 2041 and $1 billion of 2-year fixed rate 6% notes to refinance the remaining bridge financing.

Millstone Nuclear Power Station Acquisition and Related Financing

In March 2001, Dominion acquired Millstone, located in Waterford, Connecticut, for a total purchase price of approximately $1.3 billion. See Note (B) to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Dominion funded part of the acquisition by issuing 6 million shares of common stock, generating proceeds of $354 million in 2000 and issuing $250 million of 8.4% Trust Preferred Securities due in January 2031 in January 2001. The balance of the acquisition was initially funded with cash available from other internal sources and will ultimately be funded by future long-term debt issuances.

Short-Term Borrowings

At March 31, 2001, in addition to the bridge financing discussed above, Dominion had commercial paper programs with an aggregate limit of $2.6 billion supported by various credit facilities. These facilities include:

  • a $1.75 billion 364-day revolving credit facility that matures May 31, 2001 and will be renewed,
  • a $250 million facility, accessible only by CNG, that matured April 2001 and was not renewed, and
  • other multi-year facilities, one of which matures in June 2001 and will not be renewed.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)

Net borrowings under the commercial paper program were $1.9 billion at March 31, 2001, a decrease of $800 million from amounts outstanding at December 31, 2000. Commercial paper borrowings are used primarily to fund working capital requirements and bridge financing of acquisitions, and therefore may vary significantly during the course of the year depending upon the timing and amount of cash requirements not satisfied by cash provided by operations.

In addition to commercial paper, Dominion may also issue up to $200 million aggregate outstanding principal of extendible commercial notes (ECNs) to meet working capital requirements. ECNs are unsecured notes expected to be sold in private placements. Any ECNs Dominion issues would have a stated maturity of 390 days from issuance and may be redeemed, at Dominion's option, within 90 days or less from issuance. There were no ECNs outstanding at March 31, 2001.

Equity Plans

In the first quarter of 2001, Dominion raised $49 million from the issuance of common stock through Dominion Direct (a dividend reinvestment open enrollment direct stock purchase plan), employee savings plans and the exercise of stock options issued under the Dominion Resources Compensation Plan. Beginning in August 2000, Dominion began using newly issued shares rather than shares purchased on the open market for these plans.

Other Securities Issuances and Repayments

During the first quarter of 2001, Dominion issued the following securities:

  • a $194 million 6% note to an affiliated telecommunications entity due 2005 and a $518 million variable rate demand note due by 2006 to another affiliated telecommunications entity. The proceeds were used primarily to repay commercial paper. See Note (C) to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of Dominion's affiliation with the telecommunications entities;
  • $600 million of 5.75% senior notes due 2006. The net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes including repayment of commercial paper and payments associated with the purchase of three generation facilities. See Note (K) to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion; and
  • $50 million in aggregate principal amount of tax-exempt pollution control revenue bonds due 2031 bearing interest at a variable rate. The net proceeds were used to finance qualifying expenditures made during the construction of facilities at the North Anna Power Station.

During the first quarter of 2001, Dominion repaid approximately $117 million of long-term debt securities, excluding debt repayments associated with financial services operations.

In April 2001, Dominion issued $500 million of 6.85% Senior Notes due 2011. The net proceeds from the sale are being used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of debt. In addition, in April 2001, Dominion repaid $100 million of first and refunding mortgage bonds.

DCI Financing Activities

In connection with purchases and originations of loans and sales and collections of loans during the first quarter of 2001, the Company issued and repaid $1.5 billion of long-term debt.

Amounts Available under Shelf Registrations

As of March 31, 2001, Dominion and its subsidiaries had available $4.3 billion of remaining principal amount under currently effective shelf registrations with the SEC to meet capital requirements.

Investing Activities

In the first three months of 2001, investing activities resulted in a net cash outflow of $1.5 billion reflecting the following primary investing activities:

PAGE 25

DOMINION RESOURCES, INC.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)

  • plant and nuclear fuel expenditures of $228 million that included construction and expansion of generation facilities, environmental upgrades, purchase of nuclear fuel, and construction and improvements of gas and electric transmission and distribution assets;
  • exploration and production expenditures of $181 million that included the purchase of gas and oil producing properties, drilling and equipment costs and undeveloped lease acquisitions; and
  • acquisition of Millstone for approximately $1.3 billion.

These expenditures were offset by the receipt of proceeds from new loan originations (net of repayment of loans) associated with DCI of $399 million.

Capital Requirements

There have been no significant changes in the planned levels of spending for capacity and other capital projects and maturities of securities as disclosed in MD&A included in the Dominion Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. Dominion expects to fund its capital requirements and maturities with cash flow from operations and a combination of sales of securities and short-term borrowings.

FUTURE ISSUES

The following discussion of future issues and other information includes current developments of previously disclosed matters and new issues arising during the period covered by and subsequent to these financial statements. We recommend that this section be read in connection with Future Issues in MD&A included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Derivatives and Hedge Accounting

In connection with the initial adoption of SFAS No. 133, the Company concluded that its long-term power purchase contracts are not subject to fair value accounting. The DIG and the FASB have recently published a tentative conclusion that option-type contracts for the purchase or sale of electricity are not eligible to qualify for the normal purchases and sales exception available under SFAS No. 133. This tentative conclusion could cause certain future power purchase contracts executed by the Company to be subject to fair value accounting. In addition, interpretation of SFAS No. 133 by the DIG and FASB is ongoing. If the Company's conclusions concerning the applicability of SFAS No. 133 to its existing power purchase agreements are adversely affected by any future interpretations of the standard, certain of the Company's existing contracts may become subject to fair value accounting. In that event, if the Company cannot document cash flow hedging strategies which would utilize such contracts as hedging instruments, the application of fair value accounting to any existing or future power purchase contracts could result in volatility in the Company's reported earnings. Such volatility would result from unrealized gains or losses attributable to changes in the contracts' fair value during a particular reporting period. These unrealized gains and losses may not be indicative of actual cash transactions or profitability that would ultimately be realized over the life of a contract. Thus, management believes any increased volatility in earnings attributable to fair value accounting in these circumstances would be of a non-cash nature and would not be accompanied by corresponding volatility in cash flows or a change in the Company's liquidity.

 

Electric Retail Access Pilot Program and Transition to Retail Competition

As of March 31, 2001 over 82,000 of the Company's electric service customers have volunteered for the retail access pilot program and over 30,000 have switched to a competitive service provider. Twelve suppliers have been licensed by the Virginia State Corporation Commission (Virginia Commission) to serve customers in the pilot, and to date four have enrolled and provided electric generation service to customers. The Virginia Commission is expected to issue an order establishing the final rules for retail access before July 1, 2001.

PAGE 26

DOMINION RESOURCES, INC.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)

During 1998 and 1999, legislation was enacted in Virginia that established a plan to restructure Virginia's electric utility industry and provided for a phased-in transition to a fully competitive retail electric market during the period January 1, 2002 through January 1, 2004. However, in April 2001, the Virginia Commission announced a shorter phase-in schedule which would require Dominion to offer choice to all customers by January 1, 2003.

Alliance Regional Transmission Organization (RTO)

In April 2001, the Virginia Commission set two hearing dates in July and September 2001 to consider our application to transfer control of our electric transmission facilities to the Alliance RTO.

In March 2001, in connection with the application of Illinois Power Company to join the Alliance RTO, a settlement agreement was filed with the FERC involving the Alliance Companies, the Midwest ISO, certain transmission owners in the Midwest ISO and other parties. The settlement agreement provided for two RTOs in the midwest region with single super-regional rates, an agreement to negotiate a joint rate with PJM, and the approval of certain transmission owners to withdraw from the Midwest ISO and join the Alliance RTO.

Environmental Matters

There have been no significant developments with regard to environmental matters disclosed in MD&A and notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Dominion Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

PAGE 27

DOMINION RESOURCES, INC.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RATE SENSITIVE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Dominion is exposed to market risk because it utilizes financial instruments, derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. The market risks inherent in these instruments are represented by the potential loss due to adverse changes in interest rates, commodity prices and equity security prices as described below. Interest rate risk generally is related to Dominion's outstanding debt as well as its residential mortgage lending activities. Commodity price risk is experienced in Dominion's electric operations, gas production and procurement operations, and energy marketing and trading operations due to the exposure to market shifts for prices received and paid for natural gas and electricity. Dominion uses derivative commodity instruments to hedge price exposures for these operations. Dominion is exposed to equity price risk through various portfolios of equity securities.

Dominion uses the sensitivity analysis methodology to disclose the quantitative information for interest rate and commodity price risks. The sensitivity analysis estimates the potential loss of future earnings or fair value from market risk sensitive instruments over a selected time period due to a 10% unfavorable change in interest rates and commodity prices.

Interest Rate Risk

Dominion manages its interest rate risk exposure by maintaining a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. In addition, Dominion enters into interest rate sensitive derivatives. Examples of these derivatives are swaps, forwards and

futures contracts. In addition, Dominion, through subsidiaries, retains ownership in mortgage investments, including subordinated bonds and interest-only residual assets retained at securitization of mortgage loans originated and

purchased. For financial instruments outstanding at March 31, 2001, a hypothetical 10% increase in market interest rates would have had an insignificant effect on earnings. A hypothetical 10% increase in market interest rates, as determined at December 31, 2000, would have resulted in a decrease in annual earnings of $40 million.

Commodity Price Risk -- Non-Trading Activities

Dominion manages the price risk associated with purchases and sales of natural gas and oil by using derivative commodity instruments including futures, forwards, options, swaps, and collars.

For sensitivity analysis purposes, the fair value of Dominion's oil and natural gas derivative financial contracts are determined from models which take into account the market prices of oil and natural gas in future periods, the

volatility of the market prices in each period, as well as the time value factors of the underlying commitments. In most instances, market prices and volatility are determined from quoted prices on the futures exchange.

Dominion has determined a hypothetical change in fair value for its oil and natural gas derivative financial contracts assuming a 10% unfavorable change in market prices. This hypothetical 10% change in market prices would have resulted in a decrease in fair value of approximately $57 million and $56 million as of March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

The impact of a change in oil and natural gas commodity prices on Dominion's oil and natural gas derivative financial contracts at a point in time is not necessarily representative of the results that will be realized when such

contracts are ultimately settled. Net losses from oil and natural gas financial derivative contracts used for hedging purposes, to the extent realized, should generally be offset by recognition of the hedged transaction.

Commodity Price Risk -- Trading Activities

As part of its strategy to market energy from its generation capacity and to manage related risks, Dominion manages a portfolio of derivative commodity contracts held for trading purposes. These contracts are sensitive to changes in

the prices of natural gas and electricity. Dominion employs established policies and procedures to manage the risks associated with these price fluctuations and uses various commodity instruments, such as futures, swaps and options,

PAGE 28

DOMINION RESOURCES, INC.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
CONTINUED


to reduce risk by creating offsetting market positions. In addition, Dominion seeks to use its electric generation capacity, when not needed to serve customers in its service territory, to satisfy commitments to sell energy.

A hypothetical 10% change in commodity prices would have resulted in a hypothetical loss of approximately $4 million and $3 million in the fair value of its commodity contracts, held for trading purposes, as of March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

Equity Price Risk

Dominion is subject to equity price risk due to marketable securities held as investments and in trust funds. In accordance with current accounting standards, the marketable securities are reported on the balance sheet at fair value.

Foreign Currency Risk

Occasionally, Dominion is exposed to foreign currency risk. Presently, Dominion's exposure to foreign currency risk is insignificant.

CONSOLIDATED NATURAL GAS COMPANY

On March 19, 2001, Consolidated Natural Gas Company (CNG) executed the Twentieth Supplemental Indenture to its 1971 Indenture, dated as of May 1, 1971, between the CNG and Chase Manhattan Bank. Prior to amending the 1971 Indenture, CNG solicited and received the necessary consents from bond holders for the amendments. The only series outstanding under the 1971 Indenture are the 5 3/4 percent debentures due August 1, 2003 and the 6 5/8 percent debentures due December 1, 2013 aggregating $300 million in principal amount.

The Twentieth Supplemental Indenture provides for, among other things, the following:

  • the removal of certain covenant restrictions, including restrictions on dividend payments, in the 1971 Indenture
  • no additional debentures to be issued under the 1971 Indenture
  • requires the CNG to comply with all covenants and restrictions in the 1995 Indenture between CNG and the United States Trust Company of New York

Approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1935 Act to amend the 1971 Indenture was received on March 19, 2001.
