DOMINION RESOURCES, INC.
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 an area of approximately 30,000-square-miles in Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Virginia Power serves approximately 2.3 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. On May 1, 2005, Virginia Power became a member of PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM), a regional transmission organization (RTO). As a result, Virginia Power transferred functional control of its electric transmission facilities to PJM and integrated its control area into the PJM energy markets.


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 1.1 million residential and commercial customer accounts in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest. CNG operates an interstate gas transmission pipeline and underground natural gas storage system in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest 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 substantially all remaining DCI holdings by January 2006, however Dominion is seeking an extension of this deadline from the SEC. 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 Delivery, Dominion Energy, Dominion Generation and Dominion Exploration & Production (E&P). In addition, Dominion reports a Corporate and Other segment that includes Dominion's corporate, service company and other operations (including unallocated debt), corporate-wide enterprise commodity risk management and optimization services, DCI 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, 2004 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.


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, 2005, its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

PAGE 8

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 revenues 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 (VIEs) where Dominion has been determined to be the primary beneficiary.


Dominion reports certain contracts and instruments at fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Market pricing and indicative price information from external sources are used to measure fair value when available. In the absence of this information, Dominion estimates fair value based on near-term and historical price information and statistical methods. For individual contracts, the use of differing assumptions could have a material effect on the contract's estimated fair value. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 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, electric fuel and energy purchases and purchased gas expenses and other factors.


Certain amounts in the 2004 Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income.


Crude Oil Buy/Sell Arrangements

Dominion enters into buy/sell and related agreements as a means to reposition its offshore Gulf of Mexico crude oil production to more liquid marketing locations onshore. Dominion typically enters into either a single or a series of buy/sell transactions in which it sells its crude oil production at the offshore field delivery point and buys similar quantities at Cushing, Oklahoma for sale to third parties. Dominion is able to enhance profitability by selling to a wide array of refiners and/or trading companies at Cushing, one of the largest crude oil markets in the world, versus restricting sales to a limited number of refinery purchasers in the Gulf of Mexico. These transactions require physical delivery of the crude oil and the risks and rewards of ownership are evidenced by title transfer, assumption of environmental risk, transportation scheduling and counterparty nonperformance risk.


Under the primary guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, Dominion presents the sales and purchases related to its crude oil buy/sell arrangements on a gross basis in its Consolidated Statements of Income. The EITF is currently discussing Issue No. 04-13, Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty, which specifically focuses on purchase and sale transactions made pursuant to crude oil buy/sell arrangements. The EITF has issued for comment a draft abstract that would require these transactions to be presented on a net basis in the Consolidated Statements of Income. While resolution of this issue may affect the income statement presentation of these revenues and expenses, there would be no impact on Dominion's results of operations or cash flows. Amounts currently shown on a gross basis in Dominion's Consolidated Statements of Income that could be impacted by further EITF deliberations in this area are summarized below.

Note 3.     Recently Issued Accounting Standards

FIN 47

In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (FIN 47), which clarifies that an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when the obligation is incurred - generally upon acquisition, construction, or development and/or through the normal operation of the asset, if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. A conditional asset retirement obligation is a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. Uncertainty about the timing and/or method of settlement is required to be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. Dominion is currently evaluating the impact that FIN 47 may have on its results of operations and financial condition.


SFAS No. 123R and SAB 107

SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R) requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS No. 123R covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements, including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. In addition, SFAS No. 123R clarifies the timing of expense recognition for share-based awards with terms that accelerate vesting upon retirement.

Dominion's restricted stock awards contain terms that accelerate vesting upon retirement. Under current practice, compensation cost for these awards is recognized over the stated vesting term unless vesting is actually accelerated by retirement. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123R, Dominion will continue to recognize compensation cost over the stated vesting term for existing restricted stock awards, but will be required to recognize compensation cost over the shorter of the stated vesting term or period from the date of grant to the date of retirement eligibility for newly issued or modified restricted stock awards. At June 30, 2005, unrecognized compensation cost for restricted stock awards held by retirement eligible employees totaled $25 million.

 PAGE 10

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

Dominion must adopt SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006 for its outstanding unvested awards as well as for awards granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled on or after that date. Compensation expense expected to be recognized for unvested stock options outstanding at adoption is not expected to be material.


In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) to express the views of the staff regarding the interaction between SFAS No. 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations and to provide the staff's views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies, including assumptions such as expected volatility and expected term. Dominion will apply the additional guidance provided by SAB 107 upon implementation of SFAS No. 123R.


SFAS No. 154

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections-a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. Dominion will apply the provisions of SFAS No. 154 beginning January 1, 2006.


EITF 04-5

In June 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF on Issue No. 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights. EITF 04-5 provides guidance in assessing when a general partner should consolidate its investment in a limited partnership or similar entity. The provisions of EITF 04-5 were required to be applied beginning June 30, 2005 by general partners of all newly formed limited partnerships and for existing limited partnerships for which the partnership agreements are modified and is effective for general partners in all other limited partnerships beginning January 1, 2006. Dominion is currently evaluating existing relationships to determine the impact that EITF 04-5 may have on its results of operations and financial condition.


Note 4.     Acquisition of Kewaunee Power Station

In July 2005, Dominion completed the acquisition of the 568-megawatt Kewaunee nuclear power station (Kewaunee), located in northeastern Wisconsin, from Wisconsin Public Service Corporation, a subsidiary of WPS Resources Corporation (WPS), and Wisconsin Power and Light Company (WP&L), a subsidiary of Alliant Energy Corporation for approximately $192 million in cash. Dominion will sell 100% of the facility's output to WPS (59%) and WP&L (41%) under two power purchase agreements that will expire in 2013. Kewaunee will be included in the Dominion Generation operating segment.

Note 8.     Hedge Accounting Activities

Dominion is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in the price of natural gas, electricity and other energy-related products 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 amounts that will be 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 and will vary from the expected amounts presented above as a result of changes in market prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates.


As a result of a delay in reaching anticipated production levels in the Gulf of Mexico, Dominion discontinued hedge accounting for certain cash flow hedges related to forecasted oil production effective March 1, 2005. In connection with the discontinuance of hedge accounting for these contracts, Dominion reclassified $30 million ($19 million after-tax) of losses from AOCI to earnings in March 2005. Through June 30, 2005, Dominion has recognized additional losses of $17 million ($11 million after-tax) due to subsequent changes in the fair value of these contracts. These amounts were reported in other operations and maintenance expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.


Note 9.     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 13% 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, 2005.

Note 10.     Variable Interest Entities

FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, (FIN 46R) addresses consolidation of VIEs. An entity is considered a VIE under FIN 46R if it does not have sufficient equity for it to finance its activities without assistance from variable interest holders or if its equity investors lack any of the following characteristics of a controlling financial interest:

  • control through voting rights,
  • the obligation to absorb expected losses, or
  • the right to receive expected residual returns.


FIN 46R requires the primary beneficiary of a VIE to consolidate the VIE and to disclose certain information about its significant variable interests. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the entity that receives the majority of a VIE's expected losses, expected residual returns, or both.


Certain variable pricing terms in some long-term power and capacity contracts cause them to be considered potential variable interests in the counterparties.
As discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, six potential VIEs, with which Dominion has existing power purchase agreements (signed prior to December 31, 2003), did not provide sufficient information for Dominion to perform its FIN 46R evaluation.


Dominion has since determined that its interest in two of the potential VIEs is not significant. In addition, in May 2005, Dominion paid $215 million to divest its interest in a long-term power tolling contract with a 551-megawatt combined cycle facility located in Batesville, Mississippi, which was considered to be a potential VIE. Dominion decided to divest its interest in the long-term power tolling contract in connection with its reconsideration of the scope of certain activities of the Dominion Clearinghouse (Clearinghouse), including those conducted on behalf of Dominion's business segments, and its ongoing strategy to focus on business activities within the Mid-America Interconnected Network (MAIN) to Maine region. Dominion paid $8 million and $12 million for electric generation capacity and $9 million and $8 million for electric energy under these three agreements in the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $21 million and $25 million for electric generation capacity and $20 million and $18 million for electric energy under these three agreements in the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.


As of June 30, 2005, no further information has been received from the three remaining potential VIEs. Dominion will continue its efforts to obtain information and will complete an evaluation of its relationship with each of these potential VIEs, if sufficient information is ultimately obtained. Dominion has remaining purchase commitments with these three potential VIE supplier entities of $2.1 billion at June 30, 2005. Dominion paid $56 million and $59 million for electric generation capacity and $43 million and $44 million for electric energy to these entities in the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $122 million and $124 million for electric generation capacity and $100 million and $99 million for electric energy to these entities in the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.


During the first and second quarters of 2005, Dominion entered into three long-term contracts with unrelated limited liability corporations (LLCs) to purchase synthetic fuel produced from coal. Certain variable pricing terms in the contracts protect the equity holders from expected losses, and therefore, the LLCs were determined to be VIEs. Dominion's only obligation under the contractual arrangement is to purchase the synthetic fuel that the LLCs produce. After completing its FIN 46R analysis, Dominion concluded that although its interests in the contracts, as a result of their pricing terms, represent significant variable interests in the LLCs, Dominion is not the primary beneficiary. Dominion paid $43 million and $63 million to the LLCs for coal and synthetic fuel produced from coal in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Dominion is not subject to any risk of loss from the contractual arrangements, as the only obligation to the VIEs is to purchase the synthetic fuel that the VIEs produce according to the terms of the applicable purchase contracts.


In accordance with FIN 46R, Dominion consolidates certain variable interest lessor entities through which Dominion has financed and leased several power generation projects, as well as its corporate headquarters and aircraft. Dominion's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 reflect net property, plant and equipment of $956 million and $963 million, respectively, and $1.1 billion of debt related to these entities. The debt is nonrecourse to Dominion and is secured by the entities' property, plant and equipment.

Note 11.     Significant Financing Transactions

Credit Facilities and Short-Term Debt

Dominion, Virginia Power and CNG (collectively the Dominion Companies) use short-term debt, primarily commercial paper, to fund working capital requirements, as a bridge to long-term debt financing 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. In addition, the Dominion Companies utilize cash and letters of credit to fund collateral requirements under their commodities hedging program. Collateral requirements are impacted by commodity prices, hedging levels and the credit quality of the Dominion Companies and their counterparties. In May 2005, Dominion entered into a $2.5 billion five-year revolving credit facility that replaced its $1.5 billion three-year facility dated May 2004 and its $750 million three-year facility dated May 2002. At June 30, 2005, the Dominion Companies had committed lines of credit totaling $4.0 billion. Although there were no loans outstanding, these lines of credit support commercial paper borrowings and letter of credit issuances. At June 30, 2005, the Dominion Companies had the following commercial paper and letters of credit outstanding and capacity available under credit facilities:

(1) The $2.5 billion five-year revolving credit facility was entered into in May 2005 and terminates in May 2010. This credit facility can also be used to support up to $1.25 billion of letters of credit.
(2) The $1.5 billion three-year credit facility is used to support the issuance of letters of credit and commercial paper by CNG to fund collateral requirements under its gas and oil hedging program. The facility was entered into in August 2004 and terminates in August 2007. CNG expects to replace this facility with a five-year $1.75 billion facility in the third quarter of 2005.


In addition to the facilities above, in June and August of 2004, CNG entered into two $100 million letter of credit agreements that terminate in June 2007 and August 2009, respectively. Additionally, in October 2004, CNG entered into three letter of credit agreements totaling $700 million that were scheduled to terminate in April 2005. Due to recent volatility in commodity prices and the related impact on collateral requirements, Dominion extended these agreements to October 2005.
These five 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, 2005, outstanding letters of credit under these agreements totaled $900 million.

Convertible Securities

As discussed in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, $220 million of outstanding contingent convertible senior notes are convertible by holders into a combination of cash and shares of Dominion's common stock under certain circumstances. At June 30, 2005, since none of the conditions had been met, these senior notes are not yet subject to conversion. In 2004 and 2005, Dominion entered into exchange transactions with respect to these contingent convertible senior notes in contemplation of EITF Issue No. 04-8, The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings per Share. Dominion exchanged the outstanding notes for new notes with a conversion feature that requires that the principal amount of each note be repaid in cash. The notes are valued at a conversion rate of 13.5865 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of senior notes, which represents a conversion price of $73.60. Amounts payable in excess of the principal amount will be paid in common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon certain events such as subdivisions, splits, combinations of common stock or the issuance to all common stock holders of certain common stock rights, warrants or options and certain dividend increases.


The new notes have been included in the diluted EPS calculation using the method described in EITF 04-8. Under this method, the number of shares included in the denominator of the diluted EPS calculation is calculated as the net shares issuable for the reporting period based upon the average market price for the period. This resulted in a minor increase to the average shares outstanding used in the calculation of Dominion's diluted EPS since the conversion price of $73.60 included in the notes was lower than the average market price of Dominion's common stock over this period.


Issuance of Common Stock

In the six months ended June 30, 2005, Dominion received proceeds of $245 million for 4.2 million shares issued through Dominion Direct® (a dividend reinvestment and open enrollment direct stock purchase plan), employee savings plans and the exercise of employee stock options. In February 2005, Dominion Direct® and the Dominion employee savings plans began purchasing Dominion common stock on the open market with the proceeds received through these two programs, rather than having additional new common shares issued.


Repurchases of Common Stock

In February 2005, Dominion was authorized by its Board of Directors to repurchase up to the lesser of 25 million shares or $2.0 billion of Dominion's outstanding common stock. In the six months ended June 30, 2005, Dominion repurchased 3.7 million shares for approximately $276 million.


Forward Equity Transaction

As described in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, Dominion entered into a forward equity sale agreement (forward agreement) with Merrill Lynch International (MLI), as forward purchaser, relating to 10 million shares of Dominion's common stock. The forward agreement provides for the sale of two tranches consisting of 2 million and 8 million shares of Dominion common stock, respectively, each with stated maturity dates and settlement prices.


Dominion elected to cash settle the first tranche in December 2004 and made a payment to MLI for $5.8 million, representing the difference between Dominion's share price and the applicable forward sale price, multiplied by the 2 million shares. Additionally, Dominion elected to cash settle 3 million shares of the second tranche in February 2005 and made a payment to MLI for $17.4 million. Dominion recorded the settlement payments as reductions to common stock in its Consolidated Balance Sheets.


As a result of an extension agreement entered into in April 2005, the remaining 5 million shares of the second tranche must be settled by August 26, 2005. If gross share settlement were elected for the remainder of the second tranche at its maturity date, Dominion would receive aggregate proceeds of approximately $321 million and would deliver 5 million shares of its common stock. In the event any or all of the proceeds are not needed, Dominion has the option to either cash settle or net share settle the remainder of the second tranche of the forward agreement in whole, or in part, and may elect settlement earlier than the stated maturity date. If Dominion elects to cash or net share settle any portion of the remainder of the second tranche, the payment is based on the difference between Dominion's share price and the applicable forward sale price for the second tranche, multiplied by the number of shares being settled.

PAGE 17

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


If, at June 30, 2005, Dominion had elected a cash settlement of the 5 million shares remaining in the second tranche, Dominion would have owed MLI $49.5 million, which would have been recorded as a reduction to common stock in Dominion's Consolidated Balance Sheet. If, at the time of cash settlement, Dominion's current share price were lower than the forward sale price, Dominion would receive a payment from MLI. For every dollar increase (decrease) in the value of Dominion's stock, the value of the settlement of the shares remaining in the second tranche from MLI's perspective would increase (decrease) by $5 million.

 
Note 12.     Commitments and Contingencies

Other than the matters discussed below, there have been no significant developments regarding the commitments and contingencies disclosed in Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, or Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, nor have any significant new matters arisen during the three months ended June 30, 2005.


Income Taxes

As a matter of course, Dominion is regularly audited by federal and state tax authorities. Dominion establishes liabilities for probable tax-related contingencies in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingent Liabilities, and reviews them in light of changing facts and circumstances. Although the results of these audits are uncertain, Dominion believes that the ultimate outcome will not have a material adverse effect on Dominion's financial position. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, Dominion's Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect $86 million and $54 million, respectively, of tax-related contingent liabilities, including accrued interest.


Long-Term Power Tolling Contract

As discussed in Note 10, in May 2005 Dominion paid $215 million to divest its interest in a long-term power tolling contract with a 551-megawatt combined cycle facility located in Batesville, Mississippi. This transaction is expected to reduce capacity payments by $23 million in 2005 and $38 million annually thereafter.


Environmental Matters

In March 2005, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator signed both the Clean Air Interstate Rule and the Clean Air Mercury Rule. These rules, when implemented, will require significant reductions in future sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NOX) and mercury emissions from electric generating facilities. The SO2 and NOX emission reduction requirements are in two phases with initial reduction levels targeted for 2009 (NOX) and 2010 (SO2), and a second phase of reductions targeted for 2015 (SO2 and NOX). The mercury emission reduction requirements are also in two phases with initial reduction levels targeted for 2010 and a second phase of reductions targeted for 2018. The new rules allow for the use of cap-and-trade programs. States will be required to develop detailed implementation plans, which will ultimately determine the levels and timing of required emission reductions. These regulatory actions will require additional reductions in emissions from Dominion's fossil fuel-fired generating facilities. Dominion is in the process of evaluating these rules and developing compliance plans, the details of which will be based on how the rules are ultimately implemented by each state.

Guarantees

As of June 30, 2005, Dominion and its subsidiaries had issued $6.8 billion of guarantees, including: $3.7 billion to support commodity transactions of subsidiaries; $1.2 billion for subsidiary debt; $898 million related to a subsidiary leasing obligation for the Fairless Energy power station (Fairless); $486 million related to subsidiaries' nuclear obligations; $443 million for guarantees supporting other agreements of subsidiaries and $31 million for guarantees supporting third parties and equity method investees. Dominion enters into these arrangements to facilitate commercial transactions by its subsidiaries with third parties. While the majority of these guarantees do not have a termination date, Dominion may choose at any time to limit the applicability of such guarantees to future transactions. To the extent that a liability subject to a guarantee has been incurred by a consolidated subsidiary, that liability is included in Dominion's Consolidated Financial Statements. Dominion is not required to recognize liabilities for guarantees on behalf of its subsidiaries in the Consolidated Financial Statements, unless it becomes probable that Dominion will have to perform under the guarantees. No such liabilities have been recognized as of June 30, 2005. Dominion believes it is unlikely that it would be required to perform or otherwise incur any losses associated with guarantees of its subsidiaries' obligations.


Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit

As of June 30, 2005 Dominion had also purchased $67 million of surety bonds and authorized the issuance of standby letters of credit by financial institutions of $2.4 billion. Dominion enters into these arrangements to facilitate commercial transactions by its subsidiaries with third parties.


Note 13.      Credit Risk

As a diversified energy company, Dominion transacts with major companies in the energy industry and with commercial and residential energy consumers. As a result of its large and diverse customer base, Dominion is not exposed to a significant concentration of credit risk for receivables arising from utility electric and gas operations, including transmission services, and retail energy sales. Dominion's exposure to credit risk is concentrated primarily within its sales of gas and oil production and energy trading, marketing and commodity hedging activities, as Dominion transacts with a smaller, less diverse group of counterparties and transactions may involve large notional volumes and potentially volatile commodity prices. Energy trading, marketing and hedging activities include trading of energy-related commodities, marketing of merchant generation output, structured transactions and the use of financial contracts for enterprise-wide hedging purposes. At June 30, 2005, gross credit exposure related to these transactions totaled $1.09 billion, reflecting the unrealized gains for contracts carried at fair value plus any outstanding receivables (net of payables, where netting agreements exist), prior to the application of collateral. After the application of collateral, Dominion's credit exposure is reduced to $1.07 billion. Of this amount, investment grade counterparties represent 76% and no single counterparty exceeded 7%. As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, Dominion had margin deposit assets (reported in other current assets) of $486 million and $179 million, respectively, and margin deposit liabilities (reported in other current liabilities) of $13 million and $28 million, respectively.

In May 2004, Dominion completed the sale of its discontinued telecommunications operations to Elantic Telecom, Inc. (ETI). In July 2004, ETI filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Richmond Division. In April 2005, ETI's plan of reorganization to exit the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process was confirmed by the court. Dominion does not expect a material impact on its results of operations or financial position related to the bankruptcy. At June 30, 2005, Dominion had $8 million of remaining guarantees and other indemnification obligations related to its discontinued telecommunications operations.

Employer Contributions

Dominion made no contributions to its defined benefit pension plans or other postretirement benefit plans during the first six months of 2005. Dominion expects to contribute at least $40 million to its other postretirement benefit plans during the remainder of 2005. Under its funding policies, Dominion evaluates pension and other postretirement benefit plan funding requirements annually, usually in the second half of the year after receiving updated plan information from its actuary. Based on the funded status of each plan and other factors, the amount of additional contributions to be made in 2005 will be determined at that time.


Note 16.     Operating Segments

During the fourth quarter of 2004, Dominion performed an evaluation of its Clearinghouse trading and marketing operations, which resulted in a decision to exit certain energy trading activities and instead focus on the optimization of company assets. The financial impact of the Clearinghouse's optimization of company assets is now reported as part of the results of the business segments operating the related assets, in order to better reflect the performance of the underlying assets. As such, Clearinghouse activities such as fuel management, hedging, selling the output of, contracting and optimizing the Dominion Generation assets are reported in the Dominion Generation segment. Clearinghouse activities related to corporate-wide enterprise commodity risk management and optimization services that are not focused on any particular business segment are reported in the Corporate and Other segment. Aggregation of gas supply and associated gas trading and marketing activities performed by the Clearinghouse, as well as the prior year results of certain energy trading activities exited in connection with the reorganization continue to be reported in the Dominion Energy segment.

PAGE 20

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

Additionally, in January 2005 in connection with the reorganization, commodity derivative contracts held by the Clearinghouse were assessed to determine if they contribute to the optimization of Dominion's assets. As a result of this review, certain commodity derivative contracts previously designated as held for trading purposes are now held for non-trading purposes. Under Dominion's derivative income statement classification policy described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, all changes in fair value, including amounts realized upon settlement, related to the reclassified contracts were previously presented in operating revenue on a net basis. Upon reclassification as non-trading, all unrealized changes in fair value and settlements related to those derivative contracts that are financially settled are now reported in other operations and maintenance expense. The statement of income related amounts for those reclassified derivative sales contracts that are physically settled are now presented in operating revenue, while the statement of income related amounts for physically settled purchase contracts are reported in operating expenses.


Dominion is organized primarily on the basis of products and services sold in the United States. Dominion manages its operations through the following operating segments:


Dominion Delivery
includes Dominion's regulated electric and gas distribution and customer service business, as well as nonregulated retail energy marketing operations.

Dominion Energy includes Dominion's tariff-based electric transmission, natural gas transmission pipeline and storage businesses and an LNG facility. It also includes certain natural gas production and producer services, which consist of aggregation of gas supply, market-based services related to gas transportation and storage and associated gas trading and the prior year's results of certain energy trading activities exited in December 2004.


Dominion Generation includes the generation operations of Dominion's electric utility and merchant fleet as well as energy trading and marketing activities associated with the optimization of generation assets.


Dominion E&P
includes Dominion's gas and oil exploration, development and production operations. Operations are located in several major producing basins in the lower 48 states, including the outer continental shelf and deepwater areas of the Gulf of Mexico, and Western Canada.


Corporate and Other
includes the operations of Dominion's corporate, service company and other operations (including unallocated debt), corporate-wide enterprise commodity risk management and optimization services, DCI and the net impact of Dominion's discontinued telecommunications operations that were sold in May 2004. In addition, the contribution to net income by Dominion's primary operating segments is determined based upon a measure of profit that executive management believes represents the segments' core earnings. As a result, certain specific items attributable to those segments are not included in profit measures evaluated by executive management in assessing the segment's performance or allocating resources among the segments. These specific items are instead reported in the Corporate and Other segment and include:

Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

  • A charge related to the termination of a long-term power purchase agreement; and
  • Charges related to Dominion's divestiture of its interest in a long-term power tolling contract in connection with its exit from certain energy trading activities.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2004

  • A benefit from the reduction of accrued expenses associated with Hurricane Isabel restoration activities; and
  • A charge related to the settlement of a class action lawsuit involving a dispute over Dominion's rights to lease fiber-optic cable along a portion of its electric transmission corridor.

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

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) discusses the results of operations and general financial condition of Dominion. MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements. The term "Dominion" is used throughout MD&A 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.

Contents of MD&A

The reader will find the following information in this MD&A:

  • Forward-Looking Statements
  • Accounting Matters
  • Results of Operations
  • Segment Results of Operations
  • Selected Information - Energy Trading Activities
  • Sources and Uses of Cash
  • Future Issues and Other Matters
  • Risk Factors and Cautionary Statements That May Affect Future Results


Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains statements concerning Dominion's expectations, plans, objectives, future financial performance and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In most cases, the reader can identify these forward-looking statements by words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "forecast," "expect," "believe," "should," "could," "plan," "may" or other similar words.


Dominion makes forward-looking statements with full knowledge that risks and uncertainties exist that may cause actual results to differ materially from predicted results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ are often presented with the forward-looking statements themselves. Additionally, other risks that may cause actual results to differ from predicted results are set forth in Risk Factors and Cautionary Statements That May Affect Future Results.


Dominion bases its forward-looking statements on management's beliefs and assumptions using information available at the time the statements are made. Dominion cautions the reader not to place undue reliance on its forward-looking statements because the assumptions, beliefs, expectations and projections about future events may, and often do, differ materially from actual results. Dominion undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect developments occurring after the statement is made.

Accounting Matters

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

As of June 30, 2005, there have been no significant changes with regard to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in MD&A in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. The policies disclosed included the accounting for: derivative contracts at fair value; goodwill and long-lived asset impairment testing; asset retirement obligations; employee benefit plans; regulated operations; gas and oil operations; and income taxes.


Other

As discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Dominion enters into buy/sell and related agreements as a means to reposition its offshore Gulf of Mexico crude oil production to more liquid marketing locations onshore. Under the primary guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-19, Dominion presents the sales and purchases related to its crude oil buy/sell arrangements on a gross basis in its Consolidated Statements of Income. The EITF is currently discussing Issue No. 04-13, which specifically focuses on purchase and sale transactions made pursuant to crude oil buy/sell arrangements. The EITF has issued for comment a draft abstract that would require these transactions to be presented on a net basis in the Consolidated Statements of Income. While resolution of this issue may affect the income statement presentation of these revenues and expenses, there would be no impact on Dominion's results of operations or cash flows. The portion of Dominion's operating revenue related to buy/sell activity for the second quarter and year-to-date period ended June 30, 2005 was approximately 2.3% and 2.1%, respectively, as compared to 2.0% and 1.5%, respectively, for the second quarter and year-to-date period ended June 30, 2004. Reported production volumes are not impacted, as only the initial sale of Dominion's production is included in reported production volumes. It is estimated that for the second quarter and year-to-date period ended June 30, 2005, approximately 44% and 46%, respectively, of Dominion's oil production was marketed through the use of one or more crude oil buy/sell agreements.


Results of Operations

Segment results include the impact of intersegment revenues and expenses, which may result in an intersegment profit or loss. Following is a summary of contributions by operating segments to net income for the second quarter and year-to-date period ended June 30, 2005 and 2004:

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

Overview

Second Quarter 2005 vs. 2004

Dominion earned $0.97 per diluted share on net income of $332 million, an increase of $0.21 per diluted share and $81 million. The per share amount includes approximately $0.04 of share dilution, reflecting an increase in the average number of common shares outstanding.


The combined net income contribution of Dominion's primary operating segments increased $46 million primarily resulting from:

  • A higher contribution from Dominion Energy primarily reflecting the impact of losses in the prior year related to certain energy trading activities that were exited in December 2004. Similar losses were not incurred in 2005;
  • A higher contribution from Dominion E&P due to:
    • The final settlement of business interruption insurance claims associated with Hurricane Ivan, an increase in revenue recognized in connection with deliveries under volumetric production payment (VPP) agreements, higher average realized prices for gas and oil and higher oil production as compared to 2004, reflecting production from the deepwater Gulf of Mexico Devils Tower and Front Runner projects; partially offset by
    • The impact in the prior year of favorable changes in the fair value of certain oil options; and
    • An increase in production costs and lower gas production reflecting the sale of mineral rights under VPP agreements and the sale of the majority of Dominion's natural gas and oil properties in British Columbia, Canada in December 2004.

  • A lower contribution from Dominion Delivery due to:
    • Unfavorable weather in the regulated electric service territory; and
    • An increase in interest expense due to the combined impact of additional long-term affiliate borrowings and higher interest rates on affiliate borrowings.

Year-To-Date 2005 vs. 2004

Dominion earned $2.23 per diluted share on net income of $761 million; an increase of $0.13 per diluted share and $73 million. The per share amount includes approximately $0.10 of share dilution, reflecting an increase in the average number of common shares outstanding.

PAGE 25

DOMINION RESOURCES, INC.

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

The combined net income contribution of Dominion's primary operating segments increased $78 million primarily resulting from:

  • A higher contribution from Dominion Energy primarily reflecting the impact of losses in the prior year related to certain energy trading activities that were exited in December 2004. Similar losses were not incurred in 2005;
  • A higher contribution from Dominion E&P due to:
    • The recognition of business interruption insurance revenue associated with Hurricane Ivan, an increase in revenue recognized in connection with deliveries under VPP agreements, higher average realized prices for gas and oil and higher oil production as compared to 2004, reflecting production from the deepwater Gulf of Mexico Devils Tower and Front Runner projects; partially offset by
    • Losses related to the discontinuance of hedge accounting for certain oil hedges primarily resulting from a delay in reaching anticipated production levels in the Gulf of Mexico, and subsequent changes in the fair value of those hedges;
    • The impact in the prior year of favorable changes in the fair value of certain oil options; and
    • An increase in production costs and lower gas production reflecting the sale of mineral rights under the VPP agreements and the sale of the majority of Dominion's natural gas and oil properties in British Columbia, Canada in December 2004.


The increased contribution by the operating segments in 2005 was partially offset by the impact of the following specific items recognized in 2005 and reported in the Corporate and Other segment:

  • A $47 million after-tax charge resulting from the termination of a long-term power purchase agreement;
  • A $10 million after-tax charge associated with the impairment of retained interests from mortgage securitizations and venture capital and other equity investments held by DCI; and
  • $8 million of after-tax charges related to Dominion's divestiture of its interest in a long-term power tolling contract in connection with its exit from certain energy trading activities.


The consolidated results also include the impact of significant specific items recognized in 2004. These items were reported in the Corporate and Other segment, and included:

  • $26 million of after-tax charges related to Dominion's investment in and planned divestiture of DCI assets;
  • $15 million of after-tax losses associated with Dominion's telecommunications business, which was sold in May 2004;
  • A $7 million after-tax charge related to an agreement to settle a class action lawsuit involving a dispute over Dominion's rights to lease fiber-optic cable along a portion of its electric transmission corridor; partially offset by
  • A $21 million after-tax benefit associated with the disposition of CNG International's (CNGI) investment in Australian pipeline assets that were sold in 2004; and
  • An $11 million after-tax benefit from the reduction of accrued expenses associated with Hurricane Isabel restoration activities.

An analysis of Dominion's results of operations for the second quarter and year-to-date period of 2005 compared to the second quarter and year-to-date period of 2004 follows:

Second Quarter 2005 vs. 2004

Operating Revenue

Regulated electric sales revenue decreased 2% to $1.2 billion, primarily reflecting:

  • A $46 million decrease associated with milder weather; and
  • A $17 million decrease primarily due to changes in customer usage; partially offset by
  • A $28 million increase due to the impact of a comparatively higher fuel rate for non-Virginia jurisdictional customers. This increase was more than offset by an increase in Electric fuel and energy purchases, net expense; and
  • A $15 million increase from customer growth associated with new customer connections.


Regulated gas sales revenue
increased 19% to $217 million, largely resulting from a $34 million increase primarily related to the recovery of higher gas prices. The effect of this increase was largely offset by a comparable increase in Purchased gas, net expense.

 PAGE 27

DOMINION RESOURCES, INC.

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

Nonregulated electric sales revenue increased 106% to $541 million, primarily reflecting the combined effects of:

  • A $208 million increase in revenue due to the Dominion New England power plants acquired in January 2005 and the commencement of commercial operations at Fairless in June 2004; and
  • A $95 million increase from energy trading and marketing activities primarily related to the designation of certain commodity derivative contracts as held for non-trading purposes effective January 1, 2005. These contracts were previously held for trading purposes as discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The net impact of this change in classification was largely offset by similar changes in Other operations and maintenance expense and Electric fuel and energy purchases, net expense; partially offset by
  • A $15 million decrease in revenue from nonregulated retail energy marketing operations, due to lower volumes ($38 million) reflecting a decrease in average customer accounts, partially offset by higher prices ($23 million).


Nonregulated gas sales revenue
increased 8% to $475 million, predominantly due to:

  • A $19 million increase in revenue from nonregulated retail energy marketing operations, primarily due to higher prices. This increase was largely offset by a corresponding increase in Purchased gas, net expense;
  • A $15 million increase in revenue from sales of gas purchased by exploration and production operations to facilitate gas transportation and satisfy other agreements. This increase was largely offset by a corresponding increase in Purchased gas, net expense; and
  • A $13 million increase in revenue from gas marketing activities due to the optimization of physical gas transportation capacity positions, partially offset by the effect of unfavorable price changes on unsettled contracts; partially offset by
  • A $10 million decrease in revenue from gas aggregation activities, reflecting lower volumes ($56 million), partially offset by higher prices ($46 million).


Gas transportation and storage revenue
increased 12% to $181 million, primarily reflecting a $20 million increase in revenue from gas transmission operations largely due to additions of pipeline and storage capacity.


Gas and oil production revenue
increased 2% to $407 million, primarily as a result of:

  • A $35 million increase largely due to an increase in volumes delivered under VPP transactions; and
  • A $33 million increase in revenue from oil production, primarily reflecting higher volumes; partially offset by
  • A $60 million decrease in revenue from gas production, reflecting lower volumes ($89 million) largely due to the sale of mineral rights under the VPP agreements and the sale of the majority of Dominion's natural gas and oil properties in British Columbia, Canada in December 2004, partially offset by higher average realized prices ($29 million).


Other revenue
increased 75% to $571 million, largely due to:

  • A $135 million increase due to the final settlement of business interruption insurance claims associated with Hurricane Ivan; and
  • A $116 million increase in non-utility coal sales revenue resulting from higher coal prices and increased sales volumes.

The increase in other revenue related to coal sales was largely offset by a corresponding increase in Liquids, pipeline capacity and other purchases expense.

DOMINION RESOURCES, INC.

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

Operating Expenses and Other Items

Electric fuel and energy purchases, net expense increased 64% to $943 million, primarily reflecting the combined effects of:

  • A $251 million increase related to the designation of certain commodity derivative contracts as held for non-trading purposes effective January 1, 2005, which were previously held for trading purposes as discussed in Nonregulated electric sales revenue;
  • A $102 million increase due to the Dominion New England power plants acquired in January 2005; and
  • A $23 million increase related to utility operations primarily resulting from higher commodity prices, partially offset by the impact of a charge incurred in the second quarter of 2004 due to the elimination of fuel deferral accounting for the Virginia jurisdiction, which resulted in the write-off of previously deferred fuel costs incurred in the first quarter of 2004; partially offset by
  • A $10 million decrease related to nonregulated retail energy marketing operations, due to lower volumes ($34 million) reflecting a decrease in average customer accounts, partially offset by higher prices ($24 million).


Purchased electric capacity expense
decreased 16% to $122 million, as a result of the termination of four long-term power purchase agreements in connection with the purchase of the related generating facilities in 2004 and 2005.


Purchased gas, net expense
increased 5% to $553 million, principally resulting from:

  • A $32 million increase associated with regulated gas distribution operations discussed in Regulated gas sales revenue;
  • A $19 million increase related to nonregulated retail energy marketing operations discussed in Nonregulated gas sales revenue; and
  • A $13 million increase associated with exploration and production operations discussed in Nonregulated gas sales revenue; partially offset by
  • A $35 million decrease related to gas aggregation activities reflecting lower volumes ($109 million), partially offset by higher prices ($74 million).

Liquids, pipeline capacity and other purchases expense increased 48% to $325 million, primarily reflecting a $106 million increase in the cost of coal purchased for resale discussed in Other revenue.


Other operations and maintenance expense
decreased 8% to $506 million, resulting from:

  • A $141 million decrease related to the designation of certain commodity derivative contracts as held for non-trading purposes effective January 1, 2005, which were previously held for trading purposes as discussed in Nonregulated electric sales revenue;
  • A $53 million gain resulting from the sale of excess emissions allowances; and
  • A $32 million benefit related to financial transmission rights granted by PJM to Dominion as a load-serving entity to offset the congestion costs associated with PJM spot market activity, which is included in Electric fuel and energy purchases, net expense; partially offset by
  • A $71 million increase due to the Dominion New England power plants acquired in January 2005 and the commencement of commercial operations at Fairless in June 2004;
  • A $19 million increase related to higher wages, pension and medical benefits and incentive-based compensation;
  • An $18 million increase in hedge ineffectiveness expense primarily due to an increase in the fair value differential between the delivery location and commodity specifications of derivatives held by exploration and production operations and the delivery location and commodity specifications of Dominion's forecasted gas and oil sales;
  • A $9 million increase due to higher bad debt expense associated with gas distribution operations primarily reflecting the favorable impact in 2004 of a reduction in reserves;
  • An $8 million charge associated with the impairment of retained interests from mortgage securitizations and venture capital and other equity investments held by DCI; and
  • The impact in 2004 of a $39 million benefit due to favorable changes in the fair value of certain oil options related to exploration and production operations.

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

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense (DD&A) increased 9% to $349 million, largely due to incremental depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the acquisition of Dominion New England and other property additions.

Other taxes increased 10% to $134 million, primarily due to higher property taxes resulting from the Dominion New England power plants acquired in January 2005 and higher severance and property taxes due to increased revenue resulting from higher commodity prices.


Other income
decreased 27% to $32 million, primarily reflecting a $9 million decrease in net realized gains (including investment income) associated with nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments.


Year-To-Date 2005 vs. 2004

Operating Revenue

Regulated electric sales revenue increased by less than 1% to $2.6 billion, primarily reflecting:

  • A $40 million increase due to the impact of a comparatively higher fuel rate for non-Virginia jurisdictional customers. This increase was more than offset by an increase in Electric fuel and energy purchases, net expense; and
  • A $29 million increase from customer growth associated with new customer connections; partially offset by
  • A $56 million decrease associated with milder weather.


Regulated gas sales revenue
increased 18% to $995 million, largely resulting from a $128 million increase primarily related to the recovery of higher gas prices and a $72 million increase resulting from the return of customers from Energy Choice programs, partially offset by a $29 million decrease associated with milder weather, changes in customer usage and other factors. The effect of this net increase was largely offset by a comparable increase in Purchased gas, net expense.

Nonregulated electric sales revenue increased 108% to $1.3 billion, primarily reflecting the combined effects of:

  • A $426 million increase in revenue due to the Dominion New England power plants acquired in January 2005 and the commencement of commercial operations at Fairless in June 2004; and
  • A $244 million increase from energy trading and marketing activities primarily related to the designation of certain commodity derivative contracts as held for non-trading purposes effective January 1, 2005. These contracts were previously held for trading purposes as discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The net impact of this change in classification was largely offset by similar changes in Other operations and maintenance expense and Electric fuel and energy purchases, net expense; partially offset by
  • A $21 million decrease in revenue from nonregulated retail energy marketing operations, due to lower volumes ($58 million) reflecting a decrease in average customer accounts, partially offset by higher prices ($37 million).


Nonregulated gas sales revenue
increased 11% to $1.2 billion, predominantly due to:

  • An $88 million increase in revenue from gas marketing activities due to the optimization of physical gas transportation capacity positions; and
  • A $56 million increase in revenue from sales of gas purchased by exploration and production operations to facilitate gas transportation and satisfy other agreements. This increase was largely offset by a corresponding increase in Purchased gas, net expense; partially offset by
  • A $15 million decrease in revenue from gas aggregation activities, due to lower volumes ($100 million), partially offset by higher prices ($85 million); and
  • A $4 million decrease in revenue from nonregulated retail energy marketing operations, due to lower volumes ($66 million) reflecting a decrease in average customer accounts, largely offset by higher prices ($62 million).


Gas transportation and storage revenue
increased 7% to $456 million, primarily reflecting a $34 million increase in revenue from gas transmission operations largely due to additions of pipeline and storage capacity.

PAGE 30

DOMINION RESOURCES, INC.

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

Gas and oil production revenue increased 5% to $818 million, primarily as a result of:

  • An $82 million increase largely due to an increase in volumes delivered under VPP transactions; and
  • A $66 million increase in revenue from oil production, primarily reflecting higher volumes; partially offset by
  • A $106 million decrease in revenue from gas production, reflecting lower volumes ($158 million) largely due to the sale of mineral rights under the VPP agreements and the sale of the majority of Dominion's natural gas and oil properties in British Columbia, Canada in December 2004, partially offset by higher average realized prices ($52 million).


Other revenue
increased 75% to $1.1 billion, largely due to:

  • A $237 million increase in non-utility coal sales revenue resulting from higher coal prices and increased sales volumes;
  • A $179 million increase due to the recognition of business interruption insurance revenue associated with Hurricane Ivan; and
  • A $69 million increase in revenue from sales of purchased oil by exploration and production operations; partially offset by
  • A $24 million decrease in sales of emissions allowances held for resale primarily reflecting decreased sales volumes, partially offset by higher prices.

The increases in other revenue related to coal sales and sales of purchased oil and the decrease in other revenue related to sales of emissions allowances were largely offset by a corresponding change in Liquids, pipeline capacity and other purchases expense.


Operating Expenses and Other Items

Electric fuel and energy purchases, net expense increased 63% to $1.8 billion, primarily reflecting the combined effects of:

  • A $368 million increase related to the designation of certain commodity derivative contracts as held for non-trading purposes effective January 1, 2005, which were previously held for trading purposes as discussed in Nonregulated electric sales revenue;
  • A $235 million increase due to the Dominion New England power plants acquired in January 2005 and the commencement of commercial operations at Fairless in June 2004; and
  • A $98 million increase related to utility operations primarily resulting from higher commodity prices; partially offset by
  • A $15 million decrease related to nonregulated retail energy marketing operations, due to lower volumes ($52 million) reflecting a decrease in average customer accounts, partially offset by higher prices ($37 million).


Purchased electric capacity expense
decreased 14% to $256 million, as a result of the termination of four long-term power purchase agreements in connection with the purchase of the related generating facilities in 2004 and 2005.


Purchased gas, net expense
increased 9% to $1.8 billion, principally resulting from:

  • A $153 million increase associated with regulated gas distribution operations discussed in Regulated gas sales revenue; and
  • A $55 million increase related to exploration and production operations discussed in Nonregulated gas sales revenue; partially offset by
  • A $28 million decrease associated with gas aggregation activities reflecting lower volumes ($100 million), partially offset by higher prices ($72 million); and
  • A $19 million decrease associated with nonregulated retail energy marketing operations, reflecting decreased volumes ($62 million) partially offset by higher prices ($43 million).

PAGE 31

DOMINION RESOURCES, INC.

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

Liquids, pipeline capacity and other purchases expense increased 70% to $662 million, primarily reflecting a $215 million increase in the cost of coal purchased for resale and a $70 million increase related to purchases of oil by exploration and production operations, partially offset by a $23 million decrease in emissions credits purchased, each of which are discussed in Other revenue.


Other operations and maintenance expense
increased 16% to $1.3 billion, resulting from:

  • A $102 million increase due to the Dominion New England power plants acquired in January 2005 and the commencement of commercial operations at Fairless in June 2004;
  • A $77 million charge resulting from the termination of a long-term power purchase agreement;
  • A $65 million increase related to higher incentive-based compensation, wages and pension and medical benefits;
  • $47 million of losses related to the discontinuance of hedge accounting for certain oil hedges primarily resulting from a delay in reaching anticipated production levels in the Gulf of Mexico, and subsequent changes in the fair value of those hedges;
  • A $19 million increase in hedge ineffectiveness expense primarily due to an increase in the fair value differential between the delivery location and commodity specifications of derivatives held by exploration and production operations and the delivery location and commodity specifications of Dominion's forecasted gas and oil sales;
  • $15 million of charges associated with the impairment of retained interests from mortgage securitizations and venture capital and other equity investments held by DCI; and
  • The net impact of the following items recognized in 2004:
    • A $75 million benefit due to favorable changes in the fair value of certain oil options related to exploration and production operations; and
    • An $18 million benefit from the reduction of accrued expenses associated with Hurricane Isabel restoration activities; partially offset by
    • A $38 million impairment of retained interests from mortgage securitizations held by DCI, reflecting increased defaults and accelerated prepayments as a result of low interest rates.

  • These increases were partially offset by the following benefits:
    • A $118 million decrease related to the designation of certain commodity derivative contracts as held for non-trading purposes effective January 1, 2005, which were previously held for trading purposes as discussed in Nonregulated electric sales revenue;
    • A $53 million gain resulting from the sale of excess emissions allowances;
    • A $32 million benefit related to financial transmission rights granted by PJM to Dominion as a load-serving entity to offset the congestion costs associated with PJM spot market activity, which is included in Electric fuel and energy purchases, net expense; and
    • A $24 million net benefit resulting from the establishment of certain regulatory assets and liabilities in connection with settlement of a North Carolina rate case in the first quarter of 2005.


Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased 9% to $695 million, largely due to incremental depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the acquisition of Dominion New England and other property additions.


Other taxes increased 8% to $299 million, primarily due to higher property taxes resulting from the Dominion New England power plants acquired in January 2005, higher gross receipts taxes and higher severance and property taxes due to increased revenue resulting from higher commodity prices.


Other income
decreased 16% to $83 million, primarily reflecting the prior year impact of an $18 million benefit associated with the disposition of a portion of CNGI's investment in Australian pipeline assets that were sold in the second quarter of 2004.

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

Dominion Delivery's second quarter and year-to-date net income contribution decreased $23 million and $5 million, respectively, primarily reflecting:

  • Unfavorable weather in the regulated electric service territory;
  • An increase in interest expense due to the combined impact of additional long-term affiliate borrowings and higher interest rates on affiliate borrowings;
  • Higher bad debt expense, primarily reflecting the favorable impact in 2004 of a reduction in reserves;
  • Higher depreciation and amortization expense largely due to incremental expense resulting from property additions;
  • An increase in salaries, wages and benefits expense in the year-to-date period resulting from higher incentive-based compensation, wages and pension and medical benefits;
  • A lower contribution from nonregulated retail energy marketing operations in the second quarter, largely resulting from a decrease in average customer accounts; partially offset by higher gas and electric margins. In the year-to-date period the contribution from nonregulated retail energy marketing operations increased, largely resulting from higher gas margins;
  • Favorable weather in the regulated gas service territories;
  • Customer growth in the electric franchise service area, primarily reflecting new residential customers;
  • A benefit recognized by electric utility operations in the year-to-date period resulting from the establishment of certain regulatory assets in connection with settlement of a North Carolina rate case;
  • Other factors include the impact of changes in customer usage and a change in the allocation of electric base rate revenue among Dominion Delivery, Dominion Energy and Dominion Generation effective January 1, 2005.

Dominion Energy

Dominion Energy includes Dominion's tariff-based electric transmission, natural gas transmission pipeline and storage businesses and an LNG facility. It also includes certain natural gas production and producer services, which consist of aggregation of gas supply, market-based services related to gas transportation and storage and associated gas trading and the prior year's results of certain energy trading activities exited in December 2004.

Dominion Energy's second quarter and year-to-date net income contribution increased $39 million and $73 million, respectively, primarily reflecting:

  • A higher contribution from producer services primarily reflecting the impact of losses in the prior year related to certain energy trading activities that were exited in December 2004. Similar losses were not incurred in 2005;
  • The impact of unfavorable price movements in 2004 on a portfolio of financial derivative instruments used to manage Dominion's price risk associated with a portion of its anticipated sales of 2004 natural gas production that had not been considered in the hedging activities of the Dominion E&P segment (economic hedges). In 2005, Dominion did not enter into similar economic hedging transactions; and
  • A higher contribution from the Cove Point LNG facility resulting from the addition of a fifth storage tank in December 2004 and increased pipeline capacity, partially offset by
  • An increase in salaries, wages and benefits expense in the year-to-date period resulting from higher incentive-based compensation, wages and pension and medical benefits; and
  • Other factors including an increase in interest expense due to higher interest rates on affiliate borrowings and a charge incurred by electric utility operations in the year-to-date period for the write-off of certain previously deferred start-up and integration costs associated with joining an RTO that are allocable to non-Virginia jurisdictional and wholesale customers.

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

Dominion Generation's second quarter and year-to-date net income contribution increased $4 million and $1 million, respectively, primarily reflecting:

  • A gain resulting from the sale of excess emissions allowances;
  • A charge incurred by the electric utility operations in the second quarter of 2004 due to the elimination of fuel deferral accounting for the Virginia jurisdiction, which resulted in the write-off of previously deferred fuel costs incurred in the first quarter of 2004;
  • Reduced purchased power capacity expenses due to the termination of long-term power purchase agreements in connection with the purchase of the related non-utility generating facilities;
  • A contribution from Dominion New England power plants acquired in January 2005;
  • A net benefit recognized by electric utility operations in the year-to-date period resulting from the establishment of certain regulatory assets and liabilities in connection with settlement of a North Carolina rate case in the first quarter of 2005; partially offset by
  • Higher fuel and purchased power expenses incurred by electric utility operations due to higher commodity prices;
  • An increase in interest and other financing expense due to higher interest rates on affiliate borrowings and the lease financing of Fairless;
  • A lower contribution from the Millstone power station due to a higher number of outage days in 2005;
  • An increase in salaries, wages and benefits expense resulting from higher incentive-based compensation, wages and pension and medical benefits;
  • Higher depreciation and amortization expense largely due to incremental expense resulting from property additions;
  • Lower regulated electric sales due to milder weather, partially offset by customer growth in the electric franchise service area, primarily reflecting an increase in new residential customers; and
  • Other factors; including a higher number of outage days incurred by electric utility operations and a change in the allocation of electric base rate revenue among Dominion Delivery, Dominion Energy and Dominion Generation effective January 1, 2005. These factors were partially offset by a benefit related to financial transmission rights granted by PJM to Dominion as a load-serving entity to offset the congestion costs associated with PJM spot market activity.

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

Dominion E&P's second quarter and year-to-date net income contribution increased $26 million and $9 million, respectively, primarily reflecting:

  • The recognition of business interruption insurance revenue associated with Hurricane Ivan;
  • An increase in revenue recognized in connection with deliveries under the VPP agreements;
  • Higher average realized prices for gas and oil; partially offset by
  • Higher operations and maintenance expenses, primarily due to the impact in 2004 of favorable changes in the fair value of certain oil options, an increase in hedge ineffectiveness expense and an increase in production costs. Higher year-to-date operations and maintenance expenses also reflect the discontinuance of hedge accounting for certain oil hedges largely resulting from delays in reaching anticipated production levels in the Gulf of Mexico, and subsequent changes in the fair value of those hedges;
  • Lower gas production primarily reflecting the sale of mineral rights under the VPP agreements and the sale of the majority of Dominion's natural gas and oil assets in British Columbia, Canada in December 2004, partially offset by higher oil production as compared to 2004, reflecting production from the deepwater Gulf of Mexico Devils Tower and Front Runner projects;
  • Higher income taxes reflecting the favorable impact in 2004 of updated estimates for the combined effective state tax rate and Canadian tax rate. The state tax rates were impacted by changes in state income tax laws, the corporate investment profile in numerous states and the volume of business transactions;
  • An increase in interest expense due to higher interest rates on affiliate borrowings and prepayment penalties resulting from the early redemption of Canadian debt;
  • An increase in DD&A, primarily reflecting higher industry finding and development costs and increased acquisition costs; and
  • Other factors include higher interest income resulting from an increase in interest rates.

Specific Items Attributable to Operating Segments

Year-To-Date 2005 vs. 2004

Dominion reported expenses of $56 million and a net benefit of $3 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively, in the Corporate and Other segment attributable to its operating segments. The expenses in 2005 primarily resulted from:

  • A $77 million ($47 million after-tax) charge resulting from the termination of a long-term power purchase agreement, attributable to Dominion Generation; and
  • $13 million ($8 million after-tax) of charges related to Dominion's divestiture of its interest in a long-term power tolling contract, attributable to Dominion Generation.


The net benefit in 2004 largely resulted from:

  • An $18 million ($11 million after-tax) benefit from the reduction of accrued expenses associated with Hurricane Isabel restoration activities, attributable to Dominion Delivery; partially offset by
  • A $12 million ($7 million after-tax) charge related to the settlement of a class action lawsuit involving a dispute over Dominion's rights to lease fiber-optic cable along a portion of its electric transmission corridor, attributable to Dominion Energy.


DCI Operations

DCI's net loss for the second quarter and year-to-date period decreased $10 million and $33 million, primarily due to a reduction in after-tax charges associated with the impairment and divestiture of DCI investments.


Telecommunications Operations

Dominion's loss from its discontinued telecommunications business for the second quarter and year-to-date period decreased $7 million and $15 million, respectively, as a result of its sale in May 2004.


Other Corporate Operations

Second Quarter 2005 vs. 2004

The net expenses associated with other corporate operations for 2005 decreased by $19 million, primarily reflecting an increase in interest income due to higher interest rates on affiliate advances and a lower effective state income tax rate.


Year-To-Date 2005 vs. 2004

The net expenses associated with other corporate operations for 2005 decreased by $6 million, primarily reflecting an increase in interest income due to higher interest rates on affiliate advances and a lower effective state income tax rate. This was partially offset by the impact in 2004 of a $21 million after-tax benefit associated with the disposition of CNGI's investment in Australian pipeline assets.

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

Sources and Uses of Cash

Dominion and its subsidiaries depend on both internal and external sources of liquidity to provide working capital and to fund capital requirements. Short-term cash requirements not met by the cash provided by operations are generally satisfied with proceeds from short-term borrowings. Long-term cash needs are met through sales of securities and additional long-term financing.


At June 30, 2005, Dominion had cash and cash equivalents of $44 million with $1.3 billion of unused capacity under its credit facilities. For long-term financing needs, amounts available for debt or equity offerings under currently effective shelf registrations totaled $4.7 billion at June 30, 2005.


Operating Cash Flows

As presented on Dominion's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, net cash flows from operating activities were $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Dominion's management believes that its operations provide a stable source of cash flow sufficient to contribute to planned levels of capital expenditures and maintain or grow the dividend on common shares.


Dominion's operations are subject to risks and uncertainties that may negatively impact the timing or amounts of operating cash flow. See the discussion of such factors in Operating Cash Flows in the MD&A of Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.


Credit Risk

Dominion's exposure to potential concentrations of credit risk results primarily from its energy trading, marketing and hedging activities and sales of gas and oil production. Presented below is a summary of Dominion's gross and net credit exposure as of June 30, 2005 for these activities. Dominion calculates its gross credit exposure for each counterparty as the unrealized fair value of derivative contracts plus any outstanding receivables (net of payables, where netting agreements exist), prior to the application of collateral.

Investing Cash Flows

In the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, investing activities resulted in net cash outflows of $1.6 billion and $231 million, respectively. Significant investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2005 included:

  • $812 million of capital expenditures for the purchase and development of gas and oil producing properties, drilling and equipment costs and undeveloped lease acquisitions;
  • $774 million of capital expenditures for the construction and expansion of generation facilities, environmental upgrades, purchase of nuclear fuel, construction and improvements of gas and electric transmission and distribution assets and the cost of acquiring a non-utility generating facility;
  • $642 million related to the acquisition of the Dominion New England power plants; and
  • $451 million for the purchase of securities; partially offset by
  • $580 million of proceeds from sales of gas and oil mineral rights and properties; and
  • $422 million from the sale of securities.


Financing Cash Flows and Liquidity

The Dominion Companies rely on bank and capital markets as a significant source of funding for capital requirements not satisfied by cash provided by the companies' operations. As discussed further in the Credit Ratings and Debt Covenants section below, the Dominion Companies' ability to borrow funds or issue securities and the return demanded by investors are affected by the issuing company's credit ratings. In addition, the raising of external capital is subject to certain regulatory approvals, including authorization by the SEC and, in the case of Virginia Power, the Virginia State Corporation Commission (Virginia Commission).


As presented on Dominion's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, net cash used in financing activities was $132 million and $1.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Significant financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2005 included:

  • $915 million for the repayment of long-term debt;
  • $458 million of common dividend payments; and
  • $276 million for the repurchase of common stock; partially offset by
  • $709 million from the issuance of short-term debt;
  • $600 million from the issuance of long-term debt; and
  • $245 million from the issuance of common stock.

Credit Facilities and Short-Term Debt

The Dominion Companies use short-term debt, primarily commercial paper, to fund working capital requirements, as a bridge to long-term debt financing 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. In addition, the Dominion Companies utilize cash and letters of credit to fund collateral requirements under their commodities hedging program. Collateral requirements are impacted by commodity prices, hedging levels and the credit quality of the Dominion Companies and their counterparties. In May 2005, Dominion entered into a $2.5 billion five-year revolving credit facility that replaced its $1.5 billion three-year facility dated May 2004 and its $750 million three-year facility dated May 2002. At June 30, 2005, the Dominion Companies had committed lines of credit totaling $4.0 billion. Although there were no loans outstanding, these lines of credit support commercial paper borrowings and letter of credit issuances. At June 30, 2005, the Dominion Companies had the following commercial paper and letters of credit outstanding and capacity available under credit facilities:

(1) The $2.5 billion five-year revolving credit facility was entered into in May 2005 and terminates in May 2010. This credit facility can also be used to support up to $1.25 billion of letters of credit.
(2) The $1.5 billion three-year credit facility is used to support the issuance of letters of credit and commercial paper by CNG to fund collateral requirements under its gas and oil hedging program. The facility was entered into in August 2004 and terminates in August 2007. Dominion expects to replace this facility with a five-year $1.75 billion facility in the third quarter of 2005.


In addition to the facilities above, in June and August of 2004, CNG entered into two $100 million letter of credit agreements that terminate in June 2007 and August 2009, respectively. Additionally, in October 2004, CNG entered into three letter of credit agreements totaling $700 million that were scheduled to terminate in April 2005. Due to recent volatility in commodity prices and the related impact on collateral requirements, Dominion extended these agreements to October 2005. These five 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, 2005, outstanding letters of credit under these agreements totaled $900 million.

In July 2005, Dominion Resources, Inc. issued $500 million of 5.15% senior notes that mature in 2015 and $200 million of 5.95% senior notes that mature in 2035. The proceeds were used to repay maturing debt.

Dominion Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries repaid $915 million of long-term debt in the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Issuance of Common Stock

In the six months ended June 30, 2005, Dominion received proceeds of $245 million for 4.2 million shares issued through Dominion Direct® (a dividend reinvestment and open enrollment direct stock purchase plan), employee savings plans and the exercise of employee stock options. In February 2005, Dominion Direct® and the Dominion employee savings plans began purchasing Dominion common stock on the open market with the proceeds received through these two programs, rather than having additional new common shares issued.


Repurchases of Common Stock

In February 2005, Dominion was authorized by its Board of Directors to repurchase up to the lesser of 25 million shares or $2.0 billion of Dominion's outstanding common stock. In the six months ended June 30, 2005, Dominion repurchased 3.7 million shares for approximately $276 million.


Forward Equity Transaction

As described in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, Dominion entered into a forward equity sale agreement with MLI, as forward purchaser, relating to 10 million shares of Dominion's common stock. The forward agreement provides for the sale of two tranches consisting of 2 million and 8 million shares of Dominion common stock, respectively, each with stated maturity dates and settlement prices.


Dominion elected to cash settle the first tranche in December 2004 and made a payment to MLI for $5.8 million, representing the difference between Dominion's share price and the applicable forward sale price, multiplied by the 2 million shares. Additionally, Dominion elected to cash settle 3 million shares of the second tranche in February 2005 and made a payment to MLI for $17.4 million. Dominion recorded the settlement payments as reductions to common stock in its Consolidated Balance Sheets.


As a result of an extension agreement entered into in April 2005, the remaining 5 million shares of the second tranche must be settled by August 26, 2005. If gross share settlement were elected for the remainder of the second tranche at its maturity date, Dominion would receive aggregate proceeds of approximately $321 million and would deliver 5 million shares of its common stock. In the event any or all of the proceeds are not needed, Dominion has the option to either cash settle or net share settle the remainder of the second tranche of the forward agreement in whole, or in part, and may elect settlement earlier than the stated maturity date. If Dominion elects to cash or net share settle any portion of the remainder of the second tranche, the payment is based on the difference between Dominion's share price and the applicable forward sale price for the second tranche, multiplied by the number of shares being settled.


If, at June 30, 2005, Dominion had elected a cash settlement of the 5 million shares remaining in the second tranche, Dominion would have owed MLI approximately $49.5 million, which would have been recorded as a reduction to common stock in Dominion's Consolidated Balance Sheet. If, at the time of cash settlement, Dominion's current share price were lower than the forward sale price, Dominion would receive a payment from MLI. For every dollar increase (decrease) in the value of Dominion's stock, the value of the settlement of the shares remaining in the second tranche from MLI's perspective would increase (decrease) by $5 million.

 
Amounts Available under Shelf Registrations

At June 30, 2005, Dominion Resources, Inc., Virginia Power, and CNG had approximately $3.1 billion, $670 million, and $900 million, respectively, of available capacity under currently effective shelf registrations. Securities that may be issued under these shelf registrations, depending upon the registrant, include senior notes (including medium-term notes), subordinated notes, first and refunding mortgage bonds, trust preferred securities, preferred stock and common stock.

Credit Ratings and Debt Covenants

In the Credit Ratings and Debt Covenants sections of MD&A in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, Dominion discussed the use of capital markets by the Dominion Companies, as well as the impact of credit ratings on the accessibility and costs of using these markets. In addition, these sections of MD&A discussed various covenants present in the enabling agreements underlying the Dominion Companies' debt. As of June 30, 2005, there have been no changes in the Dominion Companies' credit ratings nor changes to or events of default under Dominion's debt covenants. In June 2005, Moody's revised its outlook for the ratings of CNG from negative to stable.


Future Cash Payments for Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2005, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the contractual obligations disclosed in MD&A in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.


Use of Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2005, there have been no material changes to the off-balance sheet arrangements disclosed in MD&A in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 or in Dominion's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

 

Future Issues and Other Matters

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 the Consolidated Financial Statements. This section should be read in conjunction with Future Issues and Other Matters in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.


Energy Policy Act of 2005 (the Act)

In July 2005, Congress passed the Act and sent it to the President for his signature. The Act includes numerous provisions meant to increase domestic gas and oil supplies, improve energy system reliability, build new nuclear power plants and expand renewable energy sources. The legislation would also repeal the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935. Dominion is currently evaluating the impact that the Act may have on its results of operations and financial condition.


Dominion Transmission, Inc. (DTI) Rate Matter

In May 2005, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved a comprehensive rate settlement with DTI and its customers and interested state commissions. The settlement, which became effective July 1, 2005, reduces Dominion's natural gas transportation and storage service revenues by approximately $49 million annually, through a combination of firm transportation rate reductions and reduced fuel retention levels for storage service customers. As part of the settlement, DTI and all signatory parties agreed to a rate moratorium until 2010.

Other Matters

Contract Negotiations with Gas Union

In May 2005, members of the Utility Workers' Union of America, United Gas Workers' Local 69-II, AFL-CIO (Local 69-II) ratified a new three-year contract for the period April 1, 2005 through April 1, 2008. Local 69-II represents approximately 1,000 DTI and Dominion Hope employees.

Kewaunee Power Station

In July 2005, Dominion completed the acquisition of the 568-megawatt Kewaunee nuclear power station, located in northeastern Wisconsin, from Wisconsin Public Service Corporation, a subsidiary of WPS Resources Corporation (WPS), and Wisconsin Power and Light Company (WP&L), a subsidiary of Alliant Energy Corporation for approximately $192 million in cash. Dominion will sell 100% of the facility's output to WPS (59%) and WP&L (41%) under two power purchase agreements that will expire in 2013. Kewaunee will be included in the Dominion Generation operating segment.

Risk Factors and Cautionary Statements That May Affect Future Results

Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in any forward-looking statement or projection include weather conditions; governmental regulations; cost of environmental compliance; inherent risk in the operation of nuclear facilities; fluctuations in energy-related commodities prices and the effect these could have on Dominion's earnings, liquidity position and the underlying value of its assets; trading counterparty credit risk; capital market conditions, including price risk due to marketable securities held as investments in trusts and benefit plans; fluctuations in interest rates; changes in rating agency requirements or ratings; changes in accounting standards; collective bargaining agreements and labor negotiations; the risks of operating businesses in regulated industries that are subject to changing regulatory structures; changes to regulated gas and electric rates recovered by Dominion; transitional issues related to the transfer of control over electric transmission facilities to a regional transmission organization; receipt of approvals for and the timing of the closing dates for acquisitions; realization of expected business interruption insurance proceeds; political and economic conditions (including inflation and deflation); and completing the divestiture of investments held by DCI. Other more specific risk factors are as follows:


Dominion's operations are weather sensitive.
Dominion's results of operations can be affected by changes in the weather. Weather conditions directly influence the demand for electricity and natural gas and affect the price of energy commodities. In addition, severe weather, including hurricanes, winter storms and droughts, can be destructive, causing outages, production delays and property damage that require Dominion to incur additional expenses.


Dominion is subject to complex government regulation that could adversely affect its operations.
Dominion's operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local regulation and may require numerous permits, approvals and certificates from various governmental agencies. Dominion must also comply with environmental legislation and associated regulations. Management believes the necessary approvals have been obtained for Dominion's existing operations and that its business is conducted in accordance with applicable laws. However, new laws or regulations, or the revision or reinterpretation of existing laws or regulations, may require Dominion to incur additional expenses.


Costs of environmental compliance, liabilities and litigation could exceed Dominion's estimates, which could adversely affect its results of operations.
Compliance with federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations may result in increased capital, operating and other costs, including remediation and containment expenses and monitoring obligations. In addition, Dominion may be a responsible party for environmental clean-up at a site identified by a regulatory body. Management cannot predict with certainty the amount and timing of all future expenditures related to environmental matters because of the difficulty of estimating clean-up and compliance costs, and the possibility that changes will be made to the current environmental laws and regulations. There is also uncertainty in quantifying liabilities under environmental laws that impose joint and several liability on all potentially responsible parties.

 PAGE 47

DOMINION RESOURCES, INC.

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

Dominion is exposed to cost-recovery shortfalls because of capped base rates and amendments to the fuel factor statute in effect in Virginia for its regulated electric utility. Under the Virginia Restructuring Act, as amended in April 2004, Dominion's base rates (excluding, generally, a fuel factor with limited adjustment provisions, and certain other allowable adjustments) remain capped until December 31, 2010 unless modified or terminated consistent with the Virginia Restructuring Act. Although the Virginia Restructuring Act allows for the recovery of certain generation-related costs during the capped rates period, Dominion remains exposed to numerous risks of cost-recovery shortfalls. These include exposure to potentially stranded costs, future environmental compliance requirements, certain tax law changes, costs related to hurricanes or other weather events, inflation, the cost of obtaining replacement power during unplanned plant outages and increased capital costs. In addition, under the 2004 amendments to the Virginia fuel factor statute, Dominion's current Virginia fuel factor provisions are locked-in until the earlier of July 1, 2007 or the termination of capped rates by order of the Virginia Commission.


The amendments provide for a one-time adjustment of Dominion's fuel factor, effective July 1, 2007 through December 31, 2010 (unless capped rates are terminated earlier), with no adjustment for previously incurred over-recovery or under-recovery, thus eliminating deferred fuel accounting. As a result of the locked-in fuel factor and the uncertainty of what the one-time adjustment will be, Dominion is exposed to fuel price risk. This risk includes exposure to increased costs of fuel, including the energy portion of certain purchased power costs.

Under the Virginia Restructuring Act, the generation portion of Dominion's electric utility operations is open to competition and resulting uncertainty. Under the Virginia Restructuring Act, the generation portion of Dominion's electric utility operations in Virginia is open to competition and is no longer subject to cost-based regulation. To date, the competitive market has been slow to develop. Consequently, it is difficult to predict the pace at which the competitive environment will evolve and the extent to which Dominion will face increased competition and be able to operate profitably within this competitive environment.


Dominion's merchant power business is operating in a challenging market, which could adversely affect its results of operations and future growth.
The success of Dominion's approximately 10,300-megawatt merchant power business depends upon favorable market conditions as well as its ability to find buyers willing to enter into power purchase agreements at prices sufficient to cover operating costs. Dominion attempts to manage these risks by entering into both short-term and long-term fixed price sales and purchase contracts. However, depressed spot and forward wholesale power prices, high fuel and commodity costs and excess capacity in the industry could result in lower than expected revenues in Dominion's merchant power business.


There are inherent risks in the operation of nuclear facilities.
Dominion operates nuclear facilities that are subject to inherent risks. These include the threat of terrorist attack and ability to dispose of spent nuclear fuel, the disposal of which is subject to complex federal and state regulatory constraints. These risks also include the cost of and Dominion's ability to maintain adequate reserves for decommissioning, costs of replacement power, costs of plant maintenance and exposure to potential liabilities arising out of the operation of these facilities. Dominion maintains decommissioning trusts and external insurance coverage to manage the financial exposure to these risks. However, it is possible that costs arising from claims could exceed the amount of any insurance coverage.


The use of derivative instruments could result in financial losses and liquidity constraints.
Dominion uses derivative instruments, including futures, forwards, options and swaps, to manage its commodity and financial market risks. In addition, Dominion purchases and sells commodity-based contracts in the natural gas, electricity and oil markets for trading purposes. In the future, Dominion could recognize financial losses on these contracts as a result of volatility in the market values of the underlying commodities or if a counterparty fails to perform under a contract. In the absence of actively quoted market prices and pricing information from external sources, the valuation of these contracts involves management's judgment or use of estimates. As a result, changes in the underlying assumptions or use of alternative valuation methods could affect the reported fair value of these contracts.

 PAGE 48

DOMINION RESOURCES, INC.

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

In addition, Dominion uses financial derivatives to hedge future sales of its gas and oil production. These hedge arrangements generally include margin requirements that require Dominion to deposit funds or post letters of credit with counterparties to cover the fair value of covered contracts in excess of agreed upon credit limits. When commodity prices rise to levels substantially higher than the levels where it has hedged future sales, Dominion may be required to use a material portion of its available liquidity to cover these margin requirements. In some circumstances, this could have a compounding effect on Dominion's financial liquidity and results.

Dominion's Clearinghouse operations are subject to multiple market risks including market liquidity, counterparty credit strength and price volatility. These market risks are beyond Dominion's control and could adversely affect its results of operations and future growth.


For additional information concerning derivatives and commodity-based trading contracts, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Market Rate Sensitive Instruments and Risk Management" and Notes 2 and 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Dominion's exploration and production business is dependent on factors that cannot be predicted or controlled and that could damage facilities, disrupt production or reduce the book value of its assets. Factors that may affect Dominion's financial results include weather that damages or causes the shutdown of gas and oil producing facilities, fluctuations in natural gas and crude oil prices, results of future drilling and well completion activities and Dominion's ability to acquire additional land positions in competitive lease areas, as well as inherent operational risks that could disrupt production.


Short-term market declines in the prices of natural gas and oil could adversely affect Dominion's financial results by causing a permanent write-down of its natural gas and oil properties as required by the full cost method of accounting. Under the full cost method, all direct costs of property acquisition, exploration and development activities are capitalized. If net capitalized costs exceed the present value of estimated future net revenues based on hedge-adjusted period-end prices from the production of proved gas and oil reserves (the ceiling test) in a given country at the end of any quarterly period, then a permanent write-down of the assets must be recognized in that period.


An inability to access financial markets could affect the execution of Dominion's business plan.
Dominion and its Virginia Power and CNG subsidiaries rely on access to both short-term money markets and longer-term capital markets as a significant source of liquidity for capital requirements not satisfied by the cash flows from its operations, including margin requirements related to hedges of future gas and oil production. Management believes that Dominion and its subsidiaries will maintain sufficient access to these financial markets based upon current credit ratings. However, certain disruptions outside of Dominion's control may increase its cost of borrowing or restrict its ability to access one or more financial markets. Such disruptions could include an economic downturn, the bankruptcy of an unrelated energy company or changes to Dominion's credit ratings. Restrictions on Dominion's ability to access financial markets may affect its ability to execute its business plan as scheduled.

 
Changing rating agency requirements could negatively affect Dominion's growth and business strategy. As of June 30, 2005, Dominion's senior unsecured debt is rated BBB+, negative outlook, by Standard & Poor's and Baa1, stable outlook, by Moody's. Both agencies have implemented more stringent applications of the financial requirements for various ratings levels. In order to maintain its current credit ratings in light of these or future new requirements, Dominion may find it necessary to take steps or change its business plans in ways that may adversely affect its growth and earnings per share. A reduction in Dominion's credit ratings or the credit ratings of its Virginia Power and CNG subsidiaries by either Standard & Poor's or Moody's could increase Dominion's borrowing costs and adversely affect operating results and could require it to post additional margin in connection with some of its trading and marketing activities.

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

Potential changes in accounting practices may adversely affect Dominion's financial results. Dominion cannot predict the impact that future changes in accounting standards or practices may have on public companies in general, the energy industry or its operations specifically. New accounting standards could be issued that could change the way Dominion records revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. These changes in accounting standards could adversely affect Dominion's reported earnings or could increase reported liabilities.


Failure to retain and attract key executive officers and other skilled professional and technical employees could have an adverse effect on the operations of Dominion.
Implementation of Dominion's growth strategy is dependent on its ability to recruit, retain and motivate employees. Competition for skilled employees in some areas is high and the inability to retain and attract these employees could adversely affect Dominion's business and future financial condition.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


The matters discussed in this Item may contain "forward-looking statements" as described in the introductory paragraphs under Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Form 10-Q. The reader's attention is directed to those paragraphs for discussion of various risks and uncertainties that may affect the future of Dominion.


Market Rate Sensitive Instruments and Risk Management

Dominion's financial instruments, commodity contracts and related derivative financial instruments are exposed to potential losses due to adverse changes in interest rates, equity security prices, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Interest rate risk generally is related to Dominion's outstanding debt. Commodity price risk is present in Dominion's electric operations, gas and oil production and procurement operations, and energy marketing and trading operations due to the exposure to market shifts in prices received and paid for natural gas, electricity and other commodities. Dominion uses derivative commodity contracts to manage price risk exposures for these operations. In addition, Dominion is exposed to equity price risk through various portfolios of equity securities.


As discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Dominion performed an evaluation of its Clearinghouse trading and marketing operations, which resulted in a decision to exit certain trading activities and instead focus on the optimization of company assets. In connection with the reorganization, certain commodity derivative contracts previously designated as held for trading purposes are now held for non-trading purposes.


The following 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 commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.


Commodity Price Risk-Trading Activities

As part of its strategy to market energy and to manage related risks, Dominion manages a portfolio of commodity-based derivative instruments held for trading purposes. These contracts are sensitive to changes in the prices of natural gas, electricity and certain other commodities. Dominion uses established policies and procedures to manage the risks associated with these price fluctuations and uses derivative instruments, such as futures, forwards, swaps and options, to mitigate risk by creating offsetting market positions. A hypothetical 10% unfavorable change in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease of approximately $13 million and $23 million in the fair value of Dominion's commodity-based financial derivative instruments held for trading purposes as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.


Commodity Price Risk-Non-Trading Activities

Dominion manages the price risk associated with purchases and sales of natural gas, electricity and certain other commodities by using derivative commodity instruments including futures, forwards, options and swaps. For sensitivity analysis purposes, the fair value of Dominion's non-trading derivative commodity instruments is determined based on models that consider the market prices of commodities in future periods, the volatility of the market prices in each period, as well as the time value factors of the derivative instruments. Market prices and volatility are principally determined based on quoted prices on the futures exchange. A hypothetical 10% unfavorable change in market prices of Dominion's non-trading commodity-based financial derivative instruments would have resulted in a decrease in fair value of approximately $688 million and $576 million as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.


The impact of a change in energy commodity prices on Dominion's non-trading derivative commodity-based financial derivative instruments 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 derivative commodity instruments used for hedging purposes, to the extent realized, are substantially offset by recognition of the hedged transaction, such as revenue from sales.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

(Continued)

Interest Rate Risk

Dominion manages its interest rate risk exposure predominantly by maintaining a balance of fixed and variable rate debt. Dominion also enters into interest rate sensitive derivatives, including interest rate swaps and interest rate lock agreements. For financial instruments outstanding at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, a hypothetical 10% increase in market interest rates would decrease annual earnings by approximately $12 million and $10 million, respectively.


In addition, Dominion, through subsidiaries, retains ownership of mortgage investments, including subordinated bonds and interest-only residual assets retained from securitizations of mortgage loans originated and purchased in prior years. Note 26 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 discusses the impact of changes in value of these investments.

 
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Dominion's Canadian natural gas and oil exploration and production activities are relatively self-contained within Canada. As a result, Dominion's exposure to foreign currency exchange risk for these activities is limited primarily to the effects of translation adjustments that arise from including that operation in its Consolidated Financial Statements. Dominion's management monitors this exposure and believes it is not material. In addition, Dominion manages its foreign exchange risk exposure associated with anticipated future purchases of nuclear fuel processing services denominated in foreign currencies by utilizing currency forward contracts. As a result of holding these contracts as hedges, Dominion's exposure to foreign currency risk is minimal. A hypothetical 10% unfavorable change in relevant foreign exchange rates would have resulted in a decrease of approximately $10 million and $13 million in the fair value of currency forward contracts held by Dominion at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.


Investment Price Risk

Dominion is subject to investment price risk due to marketable securities held as investments in decommissioning trust funds. In accordance with current accounting standards, these marketable securities are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Dominion recognized a net realized gain (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning trust investments of $22 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and a net realized gain (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning trust investments of $51 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Dominion recorded, in AOCI, net unrealized losses on decommissioning trust investments of $21 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and net unrealized gains on decommissioning trust investments of $84 million for the year ended December 31, 2004.


Dominion also sponsors employee pension and other postretirement benefit plans that hold investments in trusts to fund benefit payments. To the extent that the values of investments held in these trusts decline, the effect will be reflected in Dominion's recognition of the periodic cost of such employee benefit plans and the determination of the amount of cash to be contributed to the employee benefit plans.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of Dominion's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation process, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that Dominion's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.


On December 31, 2003, Dominion adopted FIN 46R for its interests in special purpose entities referred to as SPEs and, as a result, has included in its Consolidated Financial Statements those SPEs described in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2005 reflects $609 million of net property, plant and equipment and deferred charges and $688 million of related debt attributable to the SPEs. As these SPEs are owned by unrelated parties, Dominion does not have the authority to dictate or modify, and therefore cannot assess, the disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting in place at these entities.

On May 1, 2005, Virginia Power became a member of the PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM), a regional transmission organization, and transferred functional control of its electric transmission facilities to PJM and integrated its control area into the PJM energy markets. In connection with this integration, Virginia Power implemented and/or modified a number of controls to facilitate participation in the PJM market. Apart from this, there have been no significant changes in Dominion's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a - 15(f) and Rule 15d - 15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the quarter that ended June 30, 2005, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Dominion's internal control over financial reporting.
