COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Nature of Operations

Dominion, headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, is one of the nation’s largest producers and transporters of energy. Dominion’s operations are conducted through various subsidiaries, including Virginia Power, a regulated public utility that generates, transmits and distributes electricity for sale in Virginia and northeastern North Carolina.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

As permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC, Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s 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 GAAP. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes in Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and their Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

In Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly their financial position as of June 30, 2011, their results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and their cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature unless otherwise noted.

The Companies make certain estimates and assumptions in preparing their Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP. 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.

Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include, after eliminating intercompany transactions and balances, their accounts and those of their respective majority-owned subsidiaries.

The results of operations for 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 other energy-related purchases, purchased gas expenses and other factors.

Certain amounts in Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s 2010 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation for comparative purposes. The reclassifications did not affect the Companies’ net income, total assets, liabilities, shareholders’ equity or cash flows.

Amounts disclosed for Dominion are inclusive of Virginia Power, where applicable.

Note 3. Dispositions

Sale of Appalachian E&P Operations

In April 2010, Dominion completed the sale of substantially all of its Appalachian E&P operations to a newly-formed subsidiary of CONSOL for approximately $3.5 billion. The transaction included the mineral rights to approximately 491,000 acres in the Marcellus Shale formation. Dominion retained certain oil and natural gas wells located on or near its natural gas storage fields. The transaction generated after-tax proceeds of approximately $2.2 billion and resulted in an after-tax gain of approximately $1.4 billion, which included a $134 million write-off of goodwill, recorded in the second quarter of 2010.

The results of operations for Dominion's Appalachian E&P business are not reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income since Dominion did not sell its entire U.S. cost pool.

Due to the sale, hedge accounting was discontinued for certain cash flow hedges since it became probable that the forecasted sales of natural gas would not occur. In connection with the discontinuance of hedge accounting for these contracts, Dominion recognized a $42 million ($25 million after-tax) benefit, recorded in operating revenue in its Consolidated Statement of Income, reflecting the reclassification of gains from AOCI to earnings for these contracts in March 2010.

Table of Contents

Sale of Peoples

In February 2010, Dominion completed the sale of Peoples to PNG Companies LLC and netted after-tax proceeds of approximately $542 million. The sale resulted in an after-tax loss of approximately $140 million, including post-closing adjustments, and a $79 million write-off of goodwill. The sale also resulted in after-tax expenses of approximately $27 million, including transaction and benefit-related costs. Prior to the sale, Peoples had income from operations of $12 million after-tax during 2010.

The following table presents selected information regarding the results of operations of Peoples, which are reported as discontinued operations in Dominion's Consolidated Statements of Income:

Note 4. Ceiling Test

Dominion follows the full cost method of accounting for its gas and oil E&P activities, which subjects capitalized costs to a quarterly ceiling test using hedge-adjusted prices. Due to the April 2010 sale of substantially all of its Appalachian E&P operations, as of June 30, 2011, Dominion no longer has any significant gas and oil properties subject to the ceiling test calculation.

At March 31, 2010, Dominion recorded a ceiling test impairment charge of $21 million ($13 million after-tax) in other operations and maintenance expense in its Consolidated Statement of Income primarily due to a decline in hedge-adjusted prices reflecting the discontinuance of hedge accounting for certain cash flow hedges, as discussed in Note 3.

Note 5. Operating Revenue

Note 6. Income Taxes

Continuing Operations

For continuing operations, including noncontrolling interests, the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate reconciles to Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s effective income tax rate as follows:

 

     Dominion     Virginia Power  

Six Months Ended June 30,

   2011     2010     2011     2010  

U.S. statutory rate

     35.0     35.0     35.0     35.0

Increases (reductions) resulting from:

        

State taxes, net of federal benefit

     3.7        4.5        3.9        3.9   

Legislative changes

     —          1.6        —          2.6   

Other, net

     (0.1     (0.5     (0.3     (1.4
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

Effective tax rate

     38.6     40.6     38.6     40.1
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s effective tax rates in 2010 reflect the reduction of deferred tax assets resulting from the enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010 which eliminated the employer’s deduction, beginning in 2013, for that portion of its retiree prescription drug coverage cost that is being reimbursed by the Medicare Part D subsidy. In addition, Dominion’s effective tax rate in 2010 reflects higher state income taxes due to the sale of its Appalachian E&P operations.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Companies’ unrecognized tax benefits decreased $26 million to reflect resolution of several issues with tax authorities, including a recent Internal Revenue Service decision not to appeal rulings by the U.S. Tax Court in favor of two other taxpayers that street lighting assets are depreciable for tax purposes over seven years. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for a discussion of the Companies’ unrecognized tax benefits, including possible changes that could reasonably occur during the next twelve months.

Discontinued Operations

Income tax expense in 2010 for Dominion’s discontinued operations primarily reflects the impact of goodwill written off in the sale of Peoples that is not deductible for tax purposes and the reversal of deferred taxes for which the benefit was offset by the reversal of income tax-related regulatory assets.

Note 7. Earnings Per Share

The following table presents the calculation of Dominion’s basic and diluted EPS:

 

     Three Months Ended

Average shares of common stock outstanding – Diluted

     575.2         591.4         577.9         596.1

(1) Potentially dilutive securities consist of options, goal-based stock and contingently convertible senior notes.

There were no potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements

Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s fair value measurements are made in accordance with the policies discussed in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in their Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. See Note 10 in this report for further information about their derivatives and hedge accounting activities.

At June 30, 2011, Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s net balance of commodity derivatives categorized as Level 3 fair value measurements was a net liability of $122 million and $18 million, respectively. A hypothetical 10% increase in commodity prices would increase Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s Level 3 net liability by $112 million and $11 million, respectively, while a hypothetical 10% decrease in commodity prices would decrease Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s Level 3 net liability by $113 million and $11 million, respectively.

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

During March 2011, Dominion determined that it was unlikely that State Line would participate in the May 2011 PJM capacity base residual auction that would commit State Line’s capacity from June 2014 through May 2015. This determination reflected an expectation that margins for coal-fired generation will remain compressed in the 2014 and 2015 period in combination with the expectation that State Line may be impacted during the same time period by environmental regulations that would likely require significant capital expenditures. As a result, Dominion evaluated State Line for impairment since it was more likely than not that State Line would be retired before the end of its previously estimated useful life. As a result of this evaluation, Dominion recorded an impairment charge of $55 million ($39 million after-tax) reflected in other operations and maintenance expense in its Consolidated Statement of Income, to write down State Line’s long-lived assets to their estimated fair value of less than $1 million. As management was not aware of any recent market transactions for comparable assets with sufficient transparency to develop a market approach to fair value, Dominion used the income approach (discounted cash flows) to estimate the fair value of State Line’s long-lived assets. This was considered a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of significant unobservable inputs including estimates of future power and other commodity prices.

In June 2010, Dominion evaluated State Line for impairment due to the station’s relatively low level of profitability combined with the EPA’s issuance of a new stringent 1-hour primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard for SO2 that would likely require significant environmental capital expenditures in the future. As a result of this evaluation, Dominion recorded an impairment charge of $163 million ($95 million after-tax) in other operations and maintenance expense in its Consolidated Statement of Income, to write down State Line’s long-lived assets to their estimated fair value of $59 million. As management was not aware of any recent market transactions for comparable assets with sufficient transparency to develop a market approach to fair value, Dominion relied on the income approach (discounted cash flows) to estimate the fair value of State Line’s long-lived assets. This was considered a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of significant unobservable inputs including estimates of future power and other commodity prices.

There were no unrealized gains and losses included in earnings in the Level 3 fair value category relating to assets/liabilities still held at the reporting date for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Substantially all of Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s financial instruments are recorded at fair value, with the exception of the instruments described below that are reported at historical cost. Estimated fair values have been determined using available market information and valuation methodologies considered appropriate by management. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, customer and other receivables, short-term debt and accounts payable are representative of fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. For Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value, the carrying amounts and estimated fair values are as follows:

(1) Fair value is estimated using market prices, where available, and interest rates currently available for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The carrying amount of debt issues with short-term maturities and variable rates refinanced at current market rates is a reasonable estimate of their fair value.
(2) Includes amounts which represent the unamortized discount and premium. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, includes the valuation of certain fair value hedges associated with Dominion’s fixed rate debt of approximately $81 million and $49 million, respectively.
(3) Includes issuance expenses of $2 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Note 10. Derivatives and Hedge Accounting Activities

Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s accounting policies and objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments are discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in their Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. See Note 9 in this report for further information about fair value measurements and associated valuation methods for derivatives.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, gains or losses on hedging instruments determined to be ineffective were not material. Amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness include gains or losses attributable to changes in the time value of options and changes in the differences between spot prices and forward prices and were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

The following table presents selected information related to gains (losses) on cash flow hedges included in AOCI in Dominion’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2011:

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 and interest rates.

The sale of the majority of Dominion’s remaining E&P operations during 2010 resulted in the discontinuance of hedge accounting for certain cash flow hedges, as discussed in Note 3.

In addition, changes to Dominion’s financing needs during the first and second quarters of 2010 resulted in the discontinuance of hedge accounting for certain cash flow hedges, since it became probable that forecasted interest payments would not occur. In connection with the discontinuance of hedge accounting for these contracts, Dominion recognized a benefit recorded to interest and related charges reflecting the reclassification of gains from AOCI to earnings of $70 million ($43 million after-tax) in the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $110 million ($67 million after-tax) in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The reclassification of gains from AOCI to earnings was partially offset by subsequent changes in fair value of $37 million ($23 million after-tax) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Note 12. Regulatory Matters

Other than the following matters, there have been no significant developments regarding the pending regulatory matters disclosed in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Virginia Fuel Expenses

In May 2011, Virginia Power submitted its annual fuel factor filing to the Virginia Commission, proposing an annual increase for the rate year beginning July 1, 2011. This revised factor included a projected $434 million balance of prior year under-recovered fuel expenses. To reduce the impact to customers, as an alternative, Virginia Power proposed to

Table of Contents

recover this projected prior year deferred fuel balance over a two-year period beginning July 1, 2011. In June 2011, the Virginia Commission approved the two-year recovery proposal, resulting in an increase of approximately $319 million.

Generation Riders R and S

In connection with the Bear Garden and Virginia City Hybrid Energy Center projects, in June 2011, Virginia Power filed annual updates for Riders R and S with the Virginia Commission. Virginia Power proposed an approximately $81 million revenue requirement for Rider R and an approximately $249 million revenue requirement for Rider S for the April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013 rate year. The filings utilize a 12.5% placeholder ROE (inclusive of a 100 basis point performance incentive), pending the Virginia Commission’s ROE determination in the 2011 biennial review, plus a 100 basis point statutory enhancement for certain generation facilities. These requested revenue requirements for Riders R and S represent increases of approximately $3 million and $50 million, respectively, over the revenue requirements associated with the customer rates currently in effect for Riders R and S. Construction of Bear Garden was completed and the facility commenced commercial operations in the second quarter of 2011.

Transmission Rider T

In May 2011, Virginia Power filed its annual update to Rider T with the Virginia Commission. The proposed $481 million annual revenue requirement, effective September 1, 2011, represented an increase of approximately $144 million over the revenue requirement associated with the Rider T customer rates currently in effect. In July 2011, the Virginia Commission issued an order approving a revenue requirement of $466 million for the September 1, 2011 to August 31, 2012 rate year.

Generation Rider W

In May 2011, Virginia Power requested approval from the Virginia Commission to construct and operate an intermediate, combined-cycle, natural gas-fired power station in Warren County, Virginia. Subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals, the project is expected to generate more than 1,300 MW of electricity, with commercial operations expected to commence by late 2014. The facility is expected to cost approximately $1.1 billion, excluding financing costs. In connection with the proposed Warren County power station, in May 2011, Virginia Power requested Virginia Commission approval of Rider W. Virginia Power proposed an approximately $39 million revenue requirement for Rider W for the April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013 rate year. The filing utilizes a 12.5% placeholder ROE (inclusive of a 100 basis point performance incentive), pending the Virginia Commission’s ROE determination in the 2011 biennial review, plus a 100 basis point statutory enhancement for certain generation facilities.

In June 2011, Virginia Power filed applications with the Virginia Commission seeking regulatory approval to convert three of its coal-fired power stations to biomass. The expected cost of converting the Altavista, Hopewell and Southampton County power stations is approximately $166 million, excluding financing costs. The applications included a request for approval of Rider B. Virginia Power proposed an approximately $7 million revenue requirement for the April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013 rate year. The filing utilizes a 12.5% placeholder ROE (inclusive of a 100 basis point performance incentive), pending the Virginia Commission’s ROE determination in the 2011 biennial review, plus a 200 basis point statutory enhancement for renewable generation facilities. To qualify for federal production tax credits associated with renewable energy generation, the power stations must commence operation as biomass generation facilities by December 31, 2013. Virginia Power has requested Virginia Commission approval of the biomass conversions on a schedule that will enable qualification for these tax credits.

Electric Transmission Projects

In October 2008, the Virginia Commission authorized construction of the Meadow Brook-to-Loudoun line and Carson-to-Suffolk line. The Meadow Brook-to-Loudoun line was energized in April 2011 and the Carson-to-Suffolk line was energized in May 2011.

FERC Gas Regulation

DTI Appalachian Gateway Project

In June 2011, FERC approved DTI’s $634 million Appalachian Gateway Project. The project is expected to provide approximately 484,000 dekatherms per day of firm transportation services for new Appalachian gas supplies from the supply areas in the Appalachian Basin in West Virginia and southwestern Pennsylvania to an interconnection with Texas Eastern Transmission, LP at Oakford, Pennsylvania. Subject to receipt of FERC approval to commence construction, transportation services are scheduled to begin by September 2012.

Cove Point

In May 2011, Cove Point filed a general rate case for its FERC-jurisdictional services, with proposed rates to be effective July 1, 2011. Cove Point proposed an annual cost of service of approximately $150 million. In June 2011, FERC accepted a July 1, 2011 effective date for all proposed rates but two which were suspended to be effective December 1, 2011.

Ohio Regulation

In March 2011, East Ohio filed a request with the Ohio Commission to accelerate the PIR program by nearly doubling its PIR spending to more than $200 million annually. East Ohio plans to accelerate the pace of the program by investing more resources in its infrastructure in the near term, in an effort to promote ongoing public safety and reduce operating costs over the longer term. In July 2011, East Ohio, the Staff of the Ohio Commission and other interested parties filed a stipulation and recommendation and requested approval from the Ohio Commission. The stipulation provides for an increase in annual PIR capital investment from the current level of approximately $120 million to approximately $160 million. In addition, the stipulation provides for cost recovery over a five-year period commencing upon the approval of the Ohio Commission.

Note 13. Variable Interest Entities

As discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, certain variable pricing terms in some of the Companies’ long-term power and capacity contracts cause them to be considered variable interests in the counterparties.

Virginia Power has long-term power and capacity contracts with four non-utility generators with an aggregate summer generation capacity of approximately 870 MW. These contracts contain certain variable pricing mechanisms in the form of partial fuel reimbursement that Virginia Power considers to be variable interests. After an evaluation of the information provided by these entities, Virginia Power was unable to determine whether they were VIEs. However, the information they provided, as well as Virginia Power’s knowledge of generation facilities in Virginia, enabled Virginia Power to conclude that, if

they were VIEs, it would not be the primary beneficiary. This conclusion reflects Virginia Power’s determination that its variable interests do not convey the power to direct the most significant activities that impact the economic performance of the entities during the remaining terms of Virginia Power’s contracts and for the years the entities are expected to operate after its contractual relationships expire. The contracts expire at various dates ranging from 2015 to 2021. Virginia Power is not subject to any risk of loss from these potential VIEs other than its remaining purchase commitments which totaled $1.4 billion as of June 30, 2011. Virginia Power paid $52 million and $53 million for electric capacity and $26 million and $34 million for electric energy to these entities in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Virginia Power paid $105 million and $107 million for electric capacity and $65 million and $75 million for electric energy to these entities in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Virginia Power purchased shared services from DRS, an affiliated VIE, of approximately $99 million and $107 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $192 million and $248 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Virginia Power determined that it is not the most closely associated entity with DRS and therefore not the primary beneficiary. DRS provides accounting, legal, finance and certain administrative and technical services to all Dominion subsidiaries, including Virginia Power. Virginia Power has no obligation to absorb more than its allocated share of DRS costs.

Note 14. Significant Financing Transactions

Credit Facilities and Short-term Debt

Dominion and Virginia Power use short-term debt to fund working capital requirements and as a bridge to long-term debt financings. 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, Dominion utilizes cash and letters of credit to fund collateral requirements. Collateral requirements are impacted by commodity prices, hedging levels, Dominion’s credit ratings and the credit quality of its counterparties.

At June 30, 2011, Dominion’s commercial paper and letters of credit outstanding, as well as capacity available under credit facilities, were as follows:

Virginia Power’s short-term financing is supported by two three-year joint revolving credit facilities with Dominion. These credit facilities are being used for working capital, as support for the combined commercial paper programs of Dominion and Virginia Power and for other general corporate purposes.
