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 and Dominion Gas. Virginia Power is a regulated public utility that generates, transmits and distributes electricity for sale in Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Dominion Gas is a holding company that conducts business activities through a regulated interstate natural gas transmission pipeline and underground storage system in the Northeast, mid-Atlantic and Midwest states, regulated gas transportation and distribution operations in Ohio, and gas gathering and processing activities primarily in West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Dominion Gas’ wholly-owned subsidiaries are DTI, East Ohio and Dominion Iroquois.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

As permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Companies’ 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 the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

In the Companies’ opinion, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly their financial position as of March 31, 2015 and their results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. 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.

The Companies’ accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include, after eliminating intercompany transactions and balances, their accounts and those of their respective majority-owned subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2015, Dominion owns the general partner and 68.5% of the limited partner interests in Dominion Midstream, which owns a preferred equity interest and the general partner interest in Cove Point. The public’s ownership interest in Dominion Midstream is reflected as non-controlling interest in Dominion’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 the Companies’ 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation for comparative purposes. The reclassifications did not affect the Companies’ net income, total assets, liabilities, equity or cash flows.

Amounts disclosed for Dominion are inclusive of Virginia Power and/or Dominion Gas, where applicable.

Note 3. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Dominion

Acquisition of Solar Projects

In March 2014, Dominion completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of six solar development projects in California from Recurrent Energy Development Holdings, LLC for approximately $50 million in cash. The projects cost approximately $446 million to construct, including the initial acquisition cost. The facilities, which began commercial operations in the fourth quarter of 2014, generate approximately 139 MW.

The purchase price for this acquisition was allocated to Property, Plant and Equipment.

In April 2015, Dominion completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of a solar project in California from EC&R NA Solar PV, LLC for approximately $66 million in cash. The project is expected to cost approximately $69 million once constructed, including the initial acquisition cost. Upon completion, the facility is expected to generate approximately 20 MW.

In April 2015, Dominion also completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of a solar project in California from EDF Renewable Development, Inc. for approximately $106 million in cash. The projects owned by the acquired company are expected to cost approximately $111 million once constructed, including the initial acquisition cost. Upon completion, the facilities are expected to generate approximately 24 MW.

The allocation of the purchase price to individual assets for these investments is under evaluation by management and has not been finalized.

Long-term power purchase, interconnection and operation and maintenance agreements have been executed for each of the projects. Dominion expects to claim federal investment tax credits on the projects.

Acquisition of DCGT

In January 2015, Dominion completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of DCGT from SCANA Corporation for approximately $495 million in cash, subject to final working capital adjustments. DCGT owns and operates nearly 1,500 miles of FERC-regulated interstate natural gas pipeline in South Carolina and southeastern Georgia. This acquisition supports Dominion’s natural gas expansion into the Southeast. The allocation of the purchase price is currently being evaluated and has preliminarily resulted in approximately $277 million of net property, plant and equipment, $250 million of goodwill, of which approximately $225 million is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes, and approximately $38 million of regulatory liabilities. The goodwill reflects the value associated with enhancing Dominion’s regulated gas position, economic value attributable to future expansion projects as well as increased opportunities for synergies. The acquired assets of DCGT are included in the Dominion Energy operating segment.

On March 24, 2015, DCGT converted to a limited liability company under the laws of South Carolina and changed its name from Carolina Gas Transmission Corporation to DCGT. On April 1, 2015, Dominion contributed 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of DCGT to Dominion Midstream in exchange for total consideration of $495 million, subject to final working capital adjustments. Total consideration to Dominion consisted of the issuance of a two-year, approximately $295 million senior unsecured promissory note payable by Dominion Midstream at an annual interest rate of 0.6%, and 5,112,139 common units, valued at $200 million, representing limited partner interests in Dominion Midstream. The amount of the promissory note is subject to change to correspond with any working capital adjustments. The number of units was based on the volume weighted average trading price of Dominion Midstream’s common units for the ten trading days prior to April 1, 2015, or $39.12 per unit. Since Dominion consolidates Dominion Midstream for financial reporting purposes, this transaction was eliminated upon consolidation and did not impact Dominion’s financial position or cash flow.

Sale of Electric Retail Energy Marketing Business

In March 2014, Dominion completed the sale of its electric retail energy marketing business. The proceeds were approximately $187 million, net of transaction costs. The sale resulted in a gain, subject to post-closing adjustments, of approximately $100 million ($57 million after-tax) net of a $31 million write-off of goodwill, and is included in other operations and maintenance expense in Dominion’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The sale of the electric retail energy marketing business did not qualify for discontinued operations classification.

Dominion Gas

Assignments of Marcellus Acreage

In December 2013, DTI closed an agreement with a natural gas producer to convey over time approximately 79,000 acres of Marcellus Shale development rights underneath one of its natural gas storage fields. The agreement provided for payments to DTI, subject to customary adjustments, of up to approximately $200 million over a period of nine years, and an overriding royalty interest in gas produced from the acreage. In 2013, DTI received approximately $82 million in cash proceeds. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, DTI received $16 million in additional cash proceeds resulting from post-closing adjustments. At December 31, 2014, deferred revenue totaled approximately $85 million. In March 2015, DTI and the natural gas producer closed on an amendment to the agreement, which included the immediate conveyance of approximately 9,000 acres of Marcellus Shale development rights and a two year extension of the term of the original agreement. The conveyance of development rights resulted in the recognition of $43 million ($27 million after-tax) of previously deferred revenue to operations and maintenance expense in Dominion Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income. At March 31, 2015, deferred revenue totaled approximately $40 million, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining term of the agreement.

In March 2015, DTI closed an agreement with a natural gas producer to convey approximately 11,000 acres of Marcellus Shale development rights underneath one of its natural gas storage fields. The agreement provided for a payment to DTI, subject to customary adjustments, of approximately $27 million, and an overriding royalty interest in gas produced from the acreage. In March 2015, DTI received proceeds of $27 million associated with the conveyance of the acreage, resulting in a $27 million ($16 million after-tax) gain, included in other operations and maintenance expense in Dominion Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

The Companies’ fair value measurements are made in accordance with the policies discussed in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. See Note 9 in this report for further information about the Companies’ derivatives and hedge accounting activities.

Table of Contents

The Companies enter into certain physical and financial forwards, futures, options and swaps, which are considered Level 3 as they have one or more inputs that are not observable and are significant to the valuation. The discounted cash flow method is used to value Level 3 physical and financial forwards and futures contracts. An option model is used to value Level 3 physical and financial options. The discounted cash flow model for forwards and futures calculates mark-to-market valuations based on forward market prices, original transaction prices, volumes, risk-free rate of return, and credit spreads. The option model calculates mark-to-market valuations using variations of the Black-Scholes option model. The inputs into the models are the forward market prices, implied price volatilities, risk-free rate of return, the option expiration dates, the option strike prices, the original sales prices, and volumes. For Level 3 fair value measurements, forward market prices, credit spreads and implied price volatilities are considered unobservable. The unobservable inputs are developed and substantiated using historical information, available market data, third-party data, and statistical analysis. Periodically, inputs to valuation models are reviewed and revised as needed, based on historical information, updated market data, market liquidity and relationships, and changes in third-party pricing sources.

The following table presents Dominion’s quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements at March 31, 2015. The range and weighted average are presented in dollars for market price inputs and percentages for credit spreads and price volatility.

(1) In March 2015, Dominion changed the classification of NGL derivatives from Level 3 to Level 2 due to an increase in liquidity in financial forward markets. At March 31, 2015, $9 million of the transfers out of Level 3 relate to NGLs.

The gains and losses included in earnings in the Level 3 fair value category were classified in operating revenue in Dominion Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. There were no unrealized gains or losses included in earnings in the Level 3 fair value category relating to assets/liabilities still held at the reporting date for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Substantially all of the Companies’ financial instruments are recorded at fair value, with the exception of the instruments described below, which 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, restricted cash (which is recorded in other current assets) customer and other receivables, short-term debt, affiliated current borrowings, payables to affiliates and accounts payable are representative of fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. For the Companies’ 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. All fair value measurements are classified as Level 2. 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) At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, includes the valuation of certain fair value hedges associated with fixed rate debt of approximately $15 million and $19 million, respectively.
(3) Carrying amount includes amounts which represent the unamortized discount and/or premium.

Note 9. Derivatives and Hedge Accounting Activities

The Companies’ accounting policies and objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments are discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. See Note 8 in this report for further information about fair value measurements and associated valuation methods for derivatives.

Derivative assets and liabilities are presented gross on the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets. Dominion’s derivative contracts include both over-the-counter transactions and those that are executed on an exchange or other trading platform (exchange contracts) and centrally cleared. Dominion Gas’ and Virginia Power’s derivative contracts consist of over-the-counter transactions. Over-the-counter contracts are bilateral contracts that are transacted directly with a counterparty. Exchange contracts utilize a financial intermediary, exchange, or clearinghouse to enter, execute, or clear the transactions. Certain over-the-counter and exchange contracts contain contractual rights of setoff through master netting arrangements, derivative clearing agreements, and contract default provisions. In addition, the contracts are subject to conditional rights of setoff through counterparty nonperformance, insolvency, or other conditions.

In general, most over-the-counter transactions and all exchange contracts are subject to collateral requirements. Types of collateral for over-the-counter and exchange contracts include cash, letters of credit, and in some cases other forms of security, none of which are subject to restrictions. Cash collateral is used in the table below to offset derivative assets and liabilities. Certain accounts receivable and accounts payable recognized on the Companies’ Consolidated Balance Sheets, as well as letters of credit and other forms of security, all of which are not included in the tables below, are subject to offset under master netting or similar arrangements and would reduce the net exposure.

Table of Contents

Ineffectiveness and AOCI

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, gains or losses on hedging instruments determined to be ineffective and amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness 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.

The following table presents selected information related to gains (losses) on cash flow hedges included in AOCI in Dominion’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2015:

 

     AOCI After-
Tax

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.

Ineffectiveness and AOCI

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, gains or losses on hedging instruments determined to be ineffective were not material.

The following table presents selected information related to losses on cash flow hedges included in AOCI in Dominion Gas’ Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2015:

 

     AOCI
After-Tax
     Amounts Expected
to be Reclassified to
Earnings during the
next 12 Months
After-Tax
     Maximum

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.
