(a) Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 include a $3.6 billion gain from the disposition of our non-Appalachian exploration and production (E&P) business, partially offset by $1 billion of charges related to the disposition which are comprised of $544 million related to the discontinuance of hedge accounting for certain gas and oil hedges and subsequent changes in the fair value of these hedges, $171 million primarily related to the settlement of volumetric production payment agreements, $242 million of charges related to the early retirement of debt, and $77 million of employee-related expenses. Earnings for the period also include $416 million of impairment charges related to our generation assets, including a $387 million impairment of the partially-completed Dresden generation facility; a $236 million charge due to the expected termination of a power sales agreement at our State Line generating facility; $86 million of impairment charges related to Dominion Capital, Inc. (DCI) assets; $53 million of charges related to litigation reserves, and $26 million of charges related to other items. Fixed charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 include $234 million of costs related to the early retirement of debt associated with our debt tender offer completed in July 2007. Excluding these items from the calculation would result in a lower ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

(b) Earnings for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007 include a $3.6 billion gain from the disposition of our non-Appalachian E&P business, partially offset by $1 billion of charges related to the disposition which are comprised of $544 million related to the discontinuance of hedge accounting for certain gas and oil hedges and subsequent changes in the fair value of these hedges, $171 million primarily related to the settlement of volumetric production payment agreements, $242 million of charges related to the early retirement of debt, and $84 million of employee-related expenses. Earnings for the period also include $416 million of impairment charges related to our generation assets, including a $387 million impairment of the partially-completed Dresden generation facility; a $236 million charge due to the expected termination of a power sales agreement at our State Line generating facility; $86 million of impairment charges related to DCI assets; $53 million of charges related to litigation reserves; $42 million of impairment charges related to securities held in nuclear decommissioning trusts; a $27 million charge resulting from the termination of a pipeline project in West Virginia, and $6 million of net charges related to other items. Fixed charges for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007 include $234 million of costs related to the early retirement of debt associated with our debt tender offer completed in July 2007. Excluding these items from the calculation would result in a lower ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007.

(c) Earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 include $189 million of charges related to the pending sale of two natural gas distribution utilities, The Peoples Natural Gas Company and Hope Gas, Inc., including $166 million resulting from the write-off of certain regulatory assets, $90 million of impairment charges related to DCI assets, a $60 million charge due to an adjustment eliminating the application of hedge accounting related to certain interest rate swaps associated with our junior subordinated notes payable to affiliated trusts, a $27 million charge resulting from the termination of a pipeline project in West Virginia, a $26 million impairment charge resulting from a change in method of assessing other-than-temporary decline in the fair value of certain securities, $17 million of incremental charges related to the 2005 hurricanes, and $9 million of net charges related to other items. Excluding these items from the calculation would result in a higher ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006.

(d) Earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 include a $423 million charge reflecting the de-designation of hedge contracts resulting from the delay of natural gas and oil production following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, $73 million in charges resulting from the termination of certain long-term power purchase contracts, $21 million in net charges related to trading activities discontinued in 2004, including the Batesville long-term power-tolling contract divested in the second quarter of 2005 and other activities, $35 million of impairment charges related to DCI assets, a $76 million charge related to miscellaneous asset impairments, a $28 million charge related to expenses following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and $5 million of charges related to other items. Excluding these items from the calculation would result in a higher ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005.

(e) Earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 include $76 million of impairment charges related to Dominion’s investment in and planned divestiture of DCI, a $23 million benefit associated with the disposition of certain assets held for sale, an $18 million benefit from the reduction of accrued expenses associated with Hurricane Isabel restoration activities, $96 million of losses related to the discontinuance of hedge accounting for certain oil hedges and subsequent changes in the fair value of those hedges during the third quarter following Hurricane Ivan, $71 million in charges resulting from the termination of certain long-term power purchase contracts, a $184 million charge related to the Batesville long-term power-tolling contract divested in the second quarter of 2005, and $22 million of charges related to net legal settlements and other items. Excluding these items from the calculation would result in a higher ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004.

(f) Earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 include a $134 million impairment of DCI assets, $28 million for severance costs related to workforce reductions, an $84 million impairment of certain assets held for sale, $197 million for restoration expenses related to Hurricane Isabel, a $105 million charge related to the termination of a power purchase contract, $64 million in charges for the restructuring and termination of certain electric sales contracts and a $144 million charge related to our investment in Dominion Telecom including impairments, the cost of refinancings, and reallocation of equity losses.
