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’ principal 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, 2015.

In the Companies’ opinion, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly their financial position as of March 31, 2016, their results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 and Dominion’s statement of equity for the three months ended March 31, 2016. 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, those of their respective majority-owned subsidiaries and non-wholly-owned entities in which they have a controlling financial interest. For certain partnership structures, income is allocated based on the liquidation value of the underlying contractual arrangements. As of March 31, 2016, Dominion owns the general partner and 64.6% of the limited partner interests in Dominion Midstream. The public’s ownership interest in Dominion Midstream is reflected as noncontrolling interest in Dominion’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Also, as of March 31, 2016, Dominion owns 50% of the units in and consolidates Four Brothers and Three Cedars. SunEdison’s ownership interest in Four Brothers and Three Cedars, as well as Terra Nova Renewable Partners’ 33% interest in certain of Dominion’s merchant solar projects, is reflected as noncontrolling interest in Dominion’s Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 3 for further information on transactions with SunEdison.

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’ 2015 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2016 presentation for comparative purposes. The reclassifications did not affect the Companies’ net income, total assets, liabilities, equity or cash flows, except for the reclassification of debt issuance costs as discussed in Note 2 to the Companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

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

Note 3. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Dominion

Proposed Acquisition of Questar

Pursuant to the terms of the Questar Combination announced in February 2016, upon closing, each share of Questar common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing will be converted automatically into the right to receive $25 in cash per share, or approximately $4.4 billion in total. In addition, Questar’s debt, which currently totals approximately $1.5 billion is expected to remain outstanding. Dominion entered into agreements with several of its lending banks pursuant to which they have unfunded financing commitments to provide a $3.9 billion acquisition facility. In connection with receipt of proceeds from Dominion’s issuance of common stock, the acquisition facility was reduced from $3.9 billion to $3.14 billion in

Table of Contents

April 2016. See Note 14 for more information. Dominion intends to permanently finance the transaction in a manner that supports its existing credit ratings targets by issuing a combination of common stock, mandatory convertibles and debt at Dominion, and indirectly through the issuance of securities at Dominion Midstream, the proceeds of which will be applied to pay Dominion for certain assets of Questar, which are, subject to relevant approvals, expected to be contributed to Dominion Midstream.

The transaction requires approval of Questar’s shareholders and clearance from the Federal Trade Commission under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. In February 2016, the Federal Trade Commission granted antitrust approval of the Questar Combination under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. In March 2016, Questar and Dominion filed for review and approval, as required, from the Utah Public Service Commission and the Wyoming Public Service Commission, and provided information regarding the transaction to the Idaho Public Utilities Commission. The Questar Combination contains certain termination rights for both Dominion and Questar, and provides that, upon termination of the Questar Combination under specified circumstances, Dominion would be required to pay a termination fee of $154 million to Questar and Questar would be required to pay Dominion a termination fee of $99 million. Subject to receipt of Questar shareholder and any required regulatory approvals and meeting closing conditions, Dominion targets closing by the end of 2016.

Sale of Interest in Merchant Solar Projects

In September 2015, Dominion signed an agreement to sell a noncontrolling interest (consisting of 33% of the equity interests) in all of its then currently wholly-owned merchant solar projects, 24 solar projects totaling approximately 425 MW, to SunEdison. In December 2015, the sale of interest in 15 of the solar projects closed for $184 million with the sale of interest in the remaining projects completed in January 2016 for $117 million. Upon closing, SunEdison sold its interest in these projects to Terra Nova Renewable Partners. Terra Nova Renewable Partners has a future option to buy all or a portion of Dominion’s remaining 67% ownership in the projects upon the occurrence of certain events, none of which had occurred as of March 31, 2016 nor are expected to occur in the remainder of 2016.

Non-Wholly-Owned Merchant Solar Projects

Acquisitions of Four Brothers and Three Cedars

In June 2015, Dominion acquired 50% of the units in Four Brothers from SunEdison for $64 million of consideration, consisting of $2 million in cash and a $62 million payable. As of March 31, 2016, a $20 million payable is included in other current liabilities in Dominion’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Four Brothers’ purpose is to develop and operate four solar projects located in Utah, which will produce and sell electricity and renewable energy credits. The projects are expected to cost approximately $730 million to construct, including the initial acquisition cost. Dominion is obligated to contribute $445 million of capital to fund the construction of the projects and has contributed $301 million through March 31, 2016. The facilities are expected to begin commercial operations by the end of the third quarter of 2016, with generating capacity of approximately 320 MW.

In September 2015, Dominion acquired 50% of the units in Three Cedars from SunEdison for $43 million of consideration, consisting of $6 million in cash and a $37 million payable. As of March 31, 2016, an $18 million payable is included in other current liabilities in Dominion’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Three Cedars’ purpose is to develop and operate three solar projects located in Utah, which will produce and sell electricity and renewable energy credits. The projects are expected to cost approximately $425 million to construct. Dominion is obligated to contribute $276 million of capital to fund the construction of the projects and has contributed $144 million through March 31, 2016. The facilities are expected to begin commercial operations by the end of the third quarter of 2016, with generating capacity of approximately 210 MW.

Long-term power purchase, interconnection and operation and maintenance agreements have been executed for both Four Brothers and Three Cedars. Dominion expects to claim 99% of the federal investment tax credits on the projects.

Dominion owns 50% of the voting interests in Four Brothers and Three Cedars and has a controlling financial interest over the entities through its rights to control operations. The allocation of the $64 million purchase price for Four Brothers resulted in $89 million of property, plant and equipment and $25 million of noncontrolling interest. The allocation of the $43 million purchase price for Three Cedars resulted in $65 million of property, plant and equipment and $22 million of noncontrolling interest. The noncontrolling interest for each entity was measured at fair value using the discounted cash flow method, with the primary components of the valuation being future cash flows (both incoming and outgoing) and the discount rate. Dominion determined its discount rate based on the cost of capital a utility-scale investor would expect, as well as the cost of capital an individual project developer could achieve via a combination of non-recourse project financing and outside equity partners. The acquired assets of Four Brothers and Three Cedars are included in the Dominion Generation operating segment.

Four Brothers and Three Cedars entered into agreements with SunEdison to provide administrative and support services in connection with the construction of the projects, operation and maintenance of the facilities, and administrative and technical

management services of the solar facilities. Dominion has assumed certain of these agreements from SunEdison and will provide a majority of the administrative and support services as early as May 2016. In addition, Dominion has entered into contracts with SunEdison to provide services related to construction project management and oversight. Costs related to services to be provided under these agreements were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Subsequent to Dominion’s acquisition of Four Brothers and Three Cedars through March 31, 2016, SunEdison made contributions to Four Brothers and Three Cedars of $197 million in aggregate, which are reflected as noncontrolling interests in Dominion’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In April 2016, SunEdison filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy; however, this is not expected to have a material adverse effect on Dominion, Four Brothers or Three Cedars.

Acquisition of DCG

In January 2015, Dominion completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of DCG from SCANA Corporation for $497 million in cash, as adjusted for working capital. DCG 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 resulted in $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 $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 DCG are included in the Dominion Energy operating segment.

On March 24, 2015, DCG converted to a limited liability company under the laws of South Carolina and changed its name from Carolina Gas Transmission Corporation to DCG. On April 1, 2015, Dominion contributed 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of DCG to Dominion Midstream in exchange for total consideration of $501 million, as adjusted for working capital. Total consideration to Dominion consisted of the issuance of a two-year, $301 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 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 flows.

Dominion Gas

Assignments of Shale Development Rights

In December 2013, Dominion Gas 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 Dominion Gas, 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 March 2015, Dominion Gas 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, 2016, deferred revenue totaled $36 million. In April 2016, Dominion Gas and the natural gas producer closed on an amendment to the agreement, which included the immediate conveyance of a 32% partial interest in the remaining approximately 70,000 acres. This conveyance will result in the recognition of the remaining $36 million ($22 million after-tax) of previously deferred revenue to operations and maintenance expense in Dominion Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income.

In March 2015, Dominion Gas conveyed to a natural gas producer approximately 11,000 acres of Marcellus Shale development rights underneath one of its natural gas storage fields and received proceeds of $27 million and an overriding royalty interest in gas produced from the acreage. This transaction resulted in a $27 million ($16 million after-tax) gain, included in other operations and maintenance expense in Dominion Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income.

In November 2014, Dominion Gas closed on an agreement with a natural gas producer to convey over time approximately 24,000 acres of Marcellus Shale development rights underneath one of its natural gas storage fields. In connection with that agreement, in January 2016, Dominion Gas conveyed approximately 2,000 acres of Marcellus Shale development rights and received proceeds of $5 million and an overriding royalty interest in gas produced from the acreage. This transaction resulted in a $5 million ($3 million after-tax) gain, included in other operations and maintenance expense in Dominion Gas’ Consolidated Statements of Income.

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, 2016. The range and weighted average are presented in dollars for market price inputs and percentages for credit spreads and price volatility.

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) Carrying amount includes amounts which represent the unamortized debt issuance costs, discount and/or premium. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, includes the valuation of certain fair value hedges associated with fixed rate debt of $19 million and $7 million, respectively.
(3) Carrying amount includes amounts which represent the unamortized debt issuance costs, 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, 2015. 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.

Ineffectiveness and AOCI

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, 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, 2016:

 

     AOCI
After-Tax
     Amounts Expected to be
Reclassified to Earnings

Total

   $ (186    $ 101      
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

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, 2016 and 2015, gains or losses on hedging instruments determined to be ineffective were not material.

The following table presents selected information related to gains (losses) on cash flow hedges included in AOCI in Virginia Power’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2016:

 

     AOCI
After-Tax
     Amounts Expected to be
Reclassified to Earnings
During the Next 12 Months
After-Tax
     Maximum Term

Total

   $ (15    $ (1   
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

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 interest rates.
