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

Note 1.     Nature of Operations
Dominion Resources, Inc. (Dominion) is a fully integrated gas and electric holding company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. Our principal subsidiaries are Virginia Electric and Power Company (Virginia Power), Consolidated Natural Gas Company (CNG), Dominion Energy, Inc. (DEI) and Virginia Power Energy Marketing, Inc. (VPEM).

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 and municipalities. On May 1, 2005, Virginia Power became a member of PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM), a regional transmission organization (RTO). As a result, Virginia Power integrated its control area into the PJM wholesale electricity 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 1.4 million residential and commercial customer accounts in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions of the United States. CNG also operates an interstate gas transmission pipeline system, underground natural gas storage system and gathering and extraction facilities in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest states 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 marketing and price risk management activities and natural gas and oil exploration and production.

VPEM provides fuel and price risk management services to other Dominion affiliates and engages in energy trading activities.

We have substantially exited the core operating businesses of Dominion Capital, Inc. (DCI) whose primary business was financial services, including loan administration, commercial lending and residential mortgage lending.

We manage our daily operations through four primary operating segments: Dominion Delivery, Dominion Energy, Dominion Generation and Dominion Exploration & Production (E&P). In addition, we report a Corporate segment that includes our corporate, service company and other functions. Our assets remain wholly owned by us and our legal subsidiaries.

The terms “Dominion,” “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” are used throughout this report and, depending on the context of their use, may represent any of the following: the legal entity, Dominion Resources, Inc., one of Dominion Resources, Inc.’s consolidated subsidiaries or operating segments, 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), our 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 (GAAP). These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.





In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2006, our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, and our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

We make certain estimates and assumptions in preparing our 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.

Our accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include, after eliminating intercompany transactions and balances, our accounts and those of our majority-owned subsidiaries and those variable interest entities (VIEs) where we have been determined to be the primary beneficiary.

We report certain contracts and instruments at fair value in accordance with GAAP. Market pricing and indicative price information from external sources are used to measure fair value when available. In the absence of this information, we estimate 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 our Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 for a more detailed discussion of our estimation techniques.

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 energy purchases and purchased gas expenses and other factors.

Certain amounts in our 2005 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation.

Note 3.     Newly Adopted Accounting Standards
SFAS No. 123R
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R), which requires that compensation expense 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 plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. We adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective application transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost is recognized (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 and (b) based on the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, for all awards granted prior to January 1, 2006, but not vested as of that date. Results for prior periods were not restated.

Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for our stock-based compensation plans under the measurement and recognition provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Under this method, stock option awards generally did not result in compensation expense since their exercise price was typically equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. Accordingly, stock-based compensation expense was included as a pro forma disclosure in the footnotes to our financial statements. 
 

 
The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share (EPS) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation:

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, we presented the benefits of tax deductions resulting from the exercise of stock-based compensation as an operating cash flow in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. SFAS No. 123R requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for stock-based compensation (excess tax benefits) to be classified as a financing cash flow. Approximately $1 million of excess tax benefits were realized for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Restricted stock awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 contain terms that accelerate vesting upon retirement. Our previous practice was to recognize compensation cost for these awards over the stated vesting term unless vesting was actually accelerated by retirement. Following our adoption of SFAS No. 123R, we continue to recognize compensation cost over the stated vesting term for existing restricted stock awards, but are now 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 with similar terms. In the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006, we recognized approximately $1 million and $3 million, respectively, of compensation cost related to awards previously granted to retirement eligible employees. At June 30, 2006 unrecognized compensation cost for restricted stock awards held by retirement eligible employees totaled approximately $7 million.

EITF 04-13
We enter into buy/sell and related agreements primarily as a means to reposition our offshore Gulf of Mexico crude oil production to more liquid marketing locations onshore. We typically enter into either a single or a series of buy/sell transactions in which we sell our crude oil production at the offshore field delivery point and buy similar quantities at Cushing, Oklahoma for sale to third parties. We are 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.



In September 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force’s (EITF) consensus on Issue No. 04-13, Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty, that requires buy/sell and related agreements to be presented on a net basis in the Consolidated Statements of Income if they are entered into in contemplation of one another. We adopted the provisions of EITF 04-13 on April 1, 2006 for new arrangements entered into, and modifications or renewals of existing arrangements after that date. As a result, a portion of our activity related to buy/sell arrangements is presented on a net basis in our Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended June 30, 2006; however, there was no impact on our results of operations or cash flows. Pursuant to the transition provisions of EITF 04-13, activity related to buy/sell arrangements that were entered into prior to April 1, 2006 and have not been modified or renewed after that date continue to be reported on a gross basis and are summarized below:

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments. SFAS No. 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that would otherwise require bifurcation. We will adopt the provisions of this standard prospectively beginning January 1, 2007 and do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

FIN 48
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 establishes standards for measurement and recognition in financial statements of positions taken by an entity in its income tax returns. In addition, FIN 48 requires new disclosures about positions taken by an entity in its tax returns that are not recognized in its financial statements, information about potential significant changes in estimates related to tax positions and descriptions of open tax years by major jurisdiction. The provisions of FIN 48 will become effective for us beginning January 1, 2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact that FIN 48 will have on our results of operations and financial condition.




Note 5.  Sale of Regulated Gas Distribution Subsidiaries
On March 1, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Equitable Resources, Inc., to sell two of our wholly-owned regulated gas distribution subsidiaries, The Peoples Natural Gas Company (Peoples) and Hope Gas, Inc. (Hope), for approximately $970 million plus adjustments to reflect capital expenditures and changes in working capital. Peoples and Hope serve approximately 500,000 customer accounts in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The transaction is expected to close by the first quarter of 2007, subject to state regulatory approvals in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, as well as approval under the federal Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale in our Consolidated Balance Sheet are as follows:

In the six months ended June 30, 2006, we recognized a $162 million ($98 million after-tax) charge, recorded in other operations and maintenance expense in our Consolidated Statement of Income, resulting from the write-off of certain regulatory assets related to the pending sale of Peoples and Hope, since the recovery of those assets is no longer probable. We also established $135 million of deferred tax liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet in accordance with EITF Issue No. 93-17, Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for a Parent Company's Excess Tax Basis in the Stock of a Subsidiary that is Accounted for as a Discontinued Operation. EITF 93-17 requires that the deferred tax impact of the excess of the financial reporting basis over the tax basis of a parent’s investment in a subsidiary be recognized when it is apparent that this difference will reverse in the foreseeable future. We recorded an adjustment since the financial reporting basis of our investment in Peoples and Hope exceeds our tax basis. This difference and related deferred taxes will reverse and will partially offset current tax expense recognized upon closing of the sale.

EITF Issue No. 03-13, Applying the Conditions of Paragraph 42 of FASB Statement No. 144 in Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations, provides that the results of operations of a component of an entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale shall be reported in discontinued operations if both of the following conditions are met: (a) the operations and cash flows of the component have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity as a result of the disposal transaction and (b) the entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. While we do not expect to have significant continuing involvement with Peoples or Hope after their disposal, we do expect to have continuing cash flows related primarily to our sale to them of natural gas production from our E&P operations, as well as natural gas transportation and storage services provided to them by our transmission operations. Due to these expected significant continuing cash flows, the results of Peoples and Hope have not been reported as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Statements of Income. We will continue to assess the level of our involvement and continuing cash flows with Peoples and Hope for one year after the date of sale in accordance with EITF 03-13, and if circumstances change, we may be required to reclassify the results of Peoples and Hope as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Our 2006 effective tax rate reflects a $222 million tax benefit from the reduction of previously recorded valuation allowances on deferred tax assets that arose from federal and state tax loss carryforwards, since a portion of these carryforwards are expected to be utilized to offset capital gain income generated from the pending sale of Peoples and Hope. The effect of that decrease to valuation allowances was partially offset by the establishment of $135 million of deferred tax liabilities associated with the excess of our financial reporting basis over the tax basis in the stock of Peoples and Hope, in accordance with EITF 93-17, as discussed in Note 5. Also during the three-months ended June 30, 2006, we increased valuation allowances by $41 million primarily associated with the deferred tax asset recognized as a result of the impairment of a DCI investment, as discussed in Note 18.

Note 10.     Hedge Accounting Activities
We are exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in the price of natural gas, oil, electricity and other energy-related products marketed and purchased as well as currency exchange and interest rate risks of our business operations. We use derivative instruments to mitigate our exposure to these risks and designate certain derivative instruments as fair value or cash flow hedges for accounting purposes as allowed by SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Selected information about our hedge accounting activities follows:

(1)
Represents hedge ineffectiveness, primarily due to changes in the fair value differential between the delivery location and commodity specifications of derivatives held by our E&P operations and the delivery location and commodity specifications of our forecasted gas and oil sales.

Gains and losses on hedging instruments that were excluded from the measurement of effectiveness and included in net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were not material.

As a result of a delay in reaching anticipated production levels in the Gulf of Mexico, we discontinued hedge accounting for certain cash flow hedges in March 2005 since it became probable that the forecasted sales of oil would not occur. The discontinuance of hedge accounting for these contracts resulted in the reclassification of $30 million ($19 million after-tax) of losses from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) to earnings in March 2005.





The following table presents selected information related to cash flow hedges included in AOCI in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2006:

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.

Note 11.     Ceiling Test
We follow the full cost method of accounting for gas and oil E&P 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 10% of our 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, 2006.

Note 12.     Variable Interest Entities
Certain variable pricing terms in some of our long-term power and capacity contracts cause them to be considered potential variable interests in the counterparties. As discussed in Note 16 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, three potential VIEs, with which we have existing power purchase agreements (signed prior to December 31, 2003), have not provided sufficient information for us to perform our evaluation under FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, (FIN 46R).

As of June 30, 2006, the requested information has not been received from the three remaining potential VIEs. We will continue our efforts to obtain information and will complete an evaluation of our relationship with each of these potential VIEs if sufficient information is ultimately obtained. We have remaining purchase commitments with these three potential VIE supplier entities of $2.0 billion at June 30, 2006. We paid $44 million and $48 million for electric generation capacity and $41 million and $34 million for electric energy to these entities in the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We paid $94 million and $101 million for electric generation capacity and $77 million and $80 million for electric energy to these entities in the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.





During 2005, we entered into four 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 variability in the cost of their coal purchases, and therefore, the LLCs were determined to be VIEs. After completing our FIN 46R analysis, we concluded that although our interests in the contracts, as a result of their pricing terms, represent variable interests in the LLCs, we are not the primary beneficiary. We paid $104 million and $43 million to the LLCs for coal and synthetic fuel produced from coal during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $215 million and $63 million to the LLCs for coal and synthetic fuel produced from coal in the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We are not subject to any risk of loss from the contractual arrangements, as our only obligation to the VIEs is to purchase the coal and synthetic fuel that the VIEs provide according to the terms of the applicable purchase contracts.

In June 2006, we entered into a six-month weather derivative contract with a special purpose entity (SPE) that will provide us cash payments based on the occurrence of specific hurricane-related weather events in the Gulf of Mexico. This weather derivative was executed as an alternative to traditional business interruption insurance. Concurrent with the execution of the weather derivative contract, the SPE issued $50 million of catastrophe bonds. If specific weather events occur, we will be entitled to proceeds from the SPE of up to $50 million. If no specific weather events occur during the term of the contract, then we will not receive payment from the SPE. Under the weather derivative contract, we will make fixed payments to the SPE totaling approximately $5 million, which will be used by the SPE to pay a portion of the bond investors’ interest payments. We will also reimburse the SPE for certain operating costs, including bond issuance costs and other ongoing fees which should total less than $2 million. Our FIN 46R analysis determined that the SPE does not have sufficient equity investment at risk, and therefore is a VIE. Furthermore, we concluded that although our interest in the contract represents a variable interest in the SPE, we are not the primary beneficiary. We are not subject to any risk of loss from the contractual arrangement, as our only obligation is to make fixed payments to the SPE and pay certain operating costs of the SPE.

As discussed in Note 18, DCI holds an investment in the subordinated notes of a third-party collateralized debt obligation (CDO) entity. In June 2006, the CDO entity’s equity investor withdrew its capital, which required a redetermination of whether the CDO entity is a VIE under FIN 46R. We concluded that the CDO entity is a VIE and that DCI is the primary beneficiary of the CDO entity, which we have consolidated in accordance with FIN 46R.

In accordance with FIN 46R, we consolidate certain variable interest lessor entities through which we have financed and leased several power generation projects, as well as our corporate headquarters and aircraft. Our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 reflect net property, plant and equipment of $928 million and $943 million, respectively and $1.1 billion of debt related to these entities. The debt is non-recourse to us and is secured by the entities’ property, plant and equipment. Of the $1.1 billion of debt, $580 million relates to leases under which we operate three of the power generation facilities that terminate in November 2006. We intend to purchase the facilities under the terms of the lease agreements on or before the end of the lease term from the lessor entities who will use the proceeds to repay the related debt.




Note 13.     Significant Financing Transactions
Credit Facilities and Short-Term Debt
We 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, we utilize cash and letters of credit to fund collateral requirements under our commodities hedging program. Collateral requirements are impacted by commodity prices, hedging levels and the credit quality of our companies and their counterparties. At June 30, 2006, we had committed lines of credit totaling $5.75 billion. These lines of credit support commercial paper borrowings and letter of credit issuances. At June 30, 2006, we had the following commercial paper and letters of credit outstanding and capacity available under credit facilities:

Long-Term Debt
In January 2006, Virginia Power issued $450 million of 5.4% senior notes that mature in 2016 and $550 million of 6.0% senior notes that mature in 2036. We used the proceeds from this issuance to repay short-term debt incurred to redeem Virginia Power’s $512 million callable mortgage bonds, and a portion of Virginia Power’s maturing long-term debt.

In February 2006, Dominion Energy Brayton Point, LLC borrowed $47 million in connection with the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency’s issuance of its Solid Waste Disposal Revenue Bonds (Dominion Energy Brayton Point Issue) Series 2006, which mature in 2036 and bear a coupon rate of 5.0%. The bonds were issued pursuant to a trust agreement whereby funds are withdrawn from the trust as improvements are made at our Brayton Point Station located in Somerset, Massachusetts. We have withdrawn $33 million from the trust as of June 30, 2006.

In February 2006, we remarketed $330 million of 5.75% Series A senior notes related to our equity-linked debt securities. The senior notes, which will mature in 2008, now carry an annual interest rate of 5.687%.




In June 2006, we issued $300 million of 2006 Series A Enhanced Junior Subordinated Notes (hybrids) that mature in 2066. The hybrids will bear interest at 7.5% per year until June 30, 2016. Beginning June 30, 2016, the hybrids will bear interest at the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.825%, reset quarterly. We used the proceeds from this issuance for general corporate purposes including the repayment of short-term debt.

As discussed in Note 18, in June 2006, DCI began consolidating a CDO entity in accordance with FIN 46R. At June 30, 2006, this CDO entity had $385 million of notes payable that mature in January 2017 and are nonrecourse to us.

We repaid $723 million of long-term debt during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Convertible Securities
In December 2003, we issued $220 million of contingent convertible senior notes that are convertible by holders into a combination of cash and shares of our common stock under certain circumstances. At June 30, 2006, since none of these conditions had been met, these senior notes are not yet subject to conversion. In 2004 and 2005, we 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. We 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 when appropriate. 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 results in an increase in the average shares outstanding used in the calculation of our diluted EPS when the conversion price of $73.60 is lower than the average market price of our common stock over the period, and no adjustment when the conversion price exceeds the average market price.

Issuance of Common Stock
We maintain Dominion Direct® (a dividend reinvestment and open enrollment direct stock purchase plan) and a number of employee savings plans through which employer and employee contributions may be invested in Dominion common stock. These shares may either be newly issued or purchased on the open market with proceeds contributed to these plans by plan participants and us.

From February 2005 until May 2006, Dominion Direct® and the employee savings plans purchased Dominion common stock on the open market with the proceeds received through these programs, rather than having additional new common shares issued. In May 2006, we began issuing new common shares in consideration of proceeds received through these programs.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we issued 5.1 million shares of common stock and received proceeds of $372 million. Of this amount, 4.5 million shares and proceeds of $330 million resulted from the settlement of stock purchase contracts associated with our 2002 issuance of equity-linked debt securities. Net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, principally repayment of debt. The remainder of the shares issued and proceeds received were through Dominion Direct®, employee savings plans and the exercise of employee stock options.



 
Note 14.     Stock-Based Awards
In April 2005, our shareholders approved the 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan (2005 Incentive Plan) for employees and the Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan (Non-Employee Directors Plan). Both plans permit stock-based awards that include restricted stock, performance grants, goal-based stock, and stock options under the 2005 Incentive Plan and restricted stock and stock options under the Non-Employee Directors Plan. Under provisions of both plans, employees and non-employee directors may be granted options to purchase common stock at a price not less than its fair market value at the date of grant with a maximum term of eight years. Option terms are set at the discretion of either the Organization, Compensation and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors itself, as provided under each individual plan. At June 30, 2006, approximately 15 million shares were available for future grants under these plans. Prior to April 2005, we had an incentive compensation plan that provided stock options and restricted stock awards to directors, executives and other key employees with vesting periods from one to five years. Stock options generally had contractual terms from six and one half to ten years in length.

Our results for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 include $11 million and $6 million, respectively, of compensation costs and $4 million and $2 million, respectively, of income tax benefits related to our stock-based compensation arrangements. Our results for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 include $15 million and $10 million, respectively, of compensation costs and $5 million and $4 million, respectively, of income tax benefits related to our stock-based compensation arrangements. Stock-based compensation cost is reported in other operations and maintenance expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price of the option and the market value of our stock.

We issue new shares to satisfy stock option exercises. We received cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options of approximately $5 million and $236 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Restricted Stock
The fair value of our restricted stock awards is equal to the market price of our stock on the date of grant. These awards generally vest over a three-year service period and are settled by issuing new shares. The following table provides a summary of restricted stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2006:

As of June 30, 2006, unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards totaled $44 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years. In the six months ended June 30, 2006, the fair value of restricted stock awards that vested totaled $13 million.

Goal-Based Stock
In April 2006, goal-based stock awards were granted to key non-officer employees. The issuance of awards is based on the achievement of multiple performance metrics during 2006 and 2007, including business unit goals, return on invested capital and total shareholder return relative to that of a peer group of companies. At June 30, 2006, the targeted number of shares to be issued is 99,525, but the actual number of shares issued will vary between zero and 200% of targeted shares depending on the level of performance metrics achieved. The fair value of goal-based stock is equal to the market price of our stock on the date of grant. Awards will vest in April 2009 and be settled by issuing new shares. The following table provides a summary of goal-based stock activity:

As of June 30, 2006, unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested goal-based stock awards totaled $6 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

Cash-Based Performance Grant
In April 2006, a cash-based performance grant was made to officers. Payout of the performance grant will occur by March 15, 2008 and is based on the achievement of two performance metrics, return on invested capital and total shareholder return relative to that of a peer group of companies. These metrics will be measured during 2006 and 2007. At June 30, 2006, the targeted amount of the grant is $15 million, but actual payout will vary between zero and 200% of the targeted amount depending on the level of performance metrics achieved. At June 30, 2006, a liability of $2 million has been accrued for this award.

Note 15.     Commitments and Contingencies
Other than the matters discussed below, there have been no significant developments regarding the commitments and contingencies disclosed in Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, or Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, nor have any significant new matters arisen during the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Income Taxes
As a matter of course, we are regularly audited by federal and state tax authorities. We establish liabilities for probable tax-related contingencies in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and review them in light of changing facts and circumstances. Although the results of these audits are uncertain, we believe that the ultimate outcome will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position. At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, our Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect $148 million and $144 million, respectively, of income tax-related contingent liabilities, including accrued interest.





Environmental Matters
In 1987, we and a number of other entities were identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as potentially responsible parties (PRPs) at two Superfund sites located in Kentucky and Pennsylvania. In 2003, the EPA issued its Certificate of Completion of remediation for the Kentucky site. Future costs for the Kentucky site will be limited to minor operations and maintenance expenditures. Regarding the Pennsylvania site, in March 2006, a federal district court approved three consent decrees between the United States and the PRPs, under which we and certain other PRPs, all of which are utilities, will perform the site remediation. The remediation costs are expected to be in the range of $11 million to $18 million, the majority of which are to be paid by the non-utility site owners. After evaluating the impact of these actions, we have reduced our current reserve from $2 million to less than $1 million to meet our potential obligations at these two sites. We generally seek to recover our costs associated with environmental remediation from third party insurers. At June 30, 2006, no pending or possible insurance claims were recognized as an asset or offset against obligations.

Insurance for E&P Operations
In the past, we have maintained business interruption, property damage and other insurance for our E&P operations. However, the recent increased level of hurricane activity in the Gulf of Mexico has led our insurers to terminate certain coverages for our E&P operations; specifically, our Operator’s Extra Expense (OEE), offshore property damage and offshore business interruption coverage has been terminated. All onshore property coverage (with the exception of OEE) and liability coverage commensurate with past coverage remain in place for our E&P operations under our current policy. Efforts to replace the terminated insurance for our E&P operations with similar traditional insurance on commercially reasonable terms have been unsuccessful. We have recently entered into a six-month weather derivative contract with an SPE, as further described in Note 12. This arrangement provides limited alternative risk mitigation; however, it offers substantially less protection than our previous E&P insurance policies. This lack of insurance could adversely affect our results of operations.

In 2005, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita struck the Gulf of Mexico, causing interruptions to expected gas and oil production and damage to certain facilities in and along the Gulf of Mexico. We have reached an agreement in principle on our insurance claims for Katrina and Rita and expect to receive proceeds in excess of $300 million in the third quarter of 2006.

Guarantees
At June 30, 2006, we had issued $27 million of guarantees to support third parties, equity method investees and employees affected by Hurricane Katrina. In addition, in 2005, we, along with two other gas and oil E&P companies, entered into a four-year drilling contract related to a new, ultra-deepwater drilling rig that is expected to be delivered in mid-2008. The contract has a four-year primary term, plus four one-year extension options. Our minimum commitment under the agreement is for approximately $99 million over the four-year term; however, we are also jointly and severally liable for up to $394 million to the contractor if the other parties fail to pay the contractor for their obligations under the primary term of the agreement, which we view as highly unlikely. We have not recognized any significant liabilities related to any of these guarantee arrangements.





We also enter into guarantee arrangements on behalf of our consolidated subsidiaries primarily to facilitate their commercial transactions with third parties. To the extent that a liability subject to a guarantee has been incurred by one of our consolidated subsidiaries, that liability is included in our Consolidated Financial Statements. We are not required to recognize liabilities for guarantees issued on behalf of our subsidiaries unless it becomes probable that we will have to perform under the guarantees. No such liabilities have been recognized as of June 30, 2006. We believe it is unlikely that we would be required to perform or otherwise incur any losses associated with guarantees of our subsidiaries’ obligations. At June 30, 2006, we had issued the following subsidiary guarantees:

Represents the estimated portion of the guarantee’s stated limit that is utilized as of June 30, 2006 based upon prevailing economic conditions and fact patterns specific to each guarantee arrangement. For those guarantees related to obligations that are recorded as liabilities by our subsidiaries, the value includes the recorded amount.
(2)
Guarantees of debt of Dominion Resources Services, Inc. (DRS), and certain DEI and CNG subsidiaries. In the event of default by the subsidiaries, we would be obligated to repay such amounts.

Guarantees related to energy trading and marketing activities and other commodity commitments of certain subsidiaries, including subsidiaries of CNG and DEI. These guarantees were provided to counterparties in order to facilitate physical and financial transactions in gas, oil, electricity, pipeline capacity, transportation and related commodities and services. If any of these subsidiaries fail to perform or pay under the contracts and the counterparties seek performance or payment, we would be obligated to satisfy such obligation. We and our subsidiaries receive similar guarantees as collateral for credit extended to others. The value provided includes certain guarantees that do not have stated limits.
(4)
Guarantee of a DEI subsidiary’s leasing obligation for the Fairless Energy power station.
(5)
Guarantees related to Virginia Power’s and certain DEI subsidiaries’ potential retrospective premiums that could be assessed if there is a nuclear incident under our nuclear insurance programs and guarantees for Virginia Power’s commitment to buy nuclear fuel. In addition to the guarantees listed above, we have also agreed to provide up to $150 million and $60 million to two DEI subsidiaries, if requested by such subsidiaries, to pay the operating expenses in the event of a prolonged outage of the Millstone and Kewaunee power stations, respectively, as part of satisfying certain NRC requirements concerned with ensuring adequate funding for the operations of nuclear power stations.
(6)
Performance and payment guarantees related to an offshore day work drilling contract, rig share agreements and related services for certain subsidiaries of CNG. There are no stated limits for these guarantees.

Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit
As of June 30, 2006, we had also purchased $71 million of surety bonds and authorized the issuance of standby letters of credit by financial institutions of $1.8 billion. We enter into these arrangements to facilitate commercial transactions by our subsidiaries with third parties.

Note 16.      Credit Risk
Credit risk is our risk of financial loss if counterparties fail to perform their contractual obligations. In order to minimize overall credit risk, we maintain credit policies, including the evaluation of counterparty financial condition, collateral requirements and the use of standardized agreements that facilitate the netting of cash flows associated with a single counterparty. We maintain a provision for credit losses based on factors surrounding the credit risk of our customers, historical trends and other information. We believe, based on our credit policies and our June 30, 2006 provision for credit losses, that it is unlikely that a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows would occur as a result of counterparty nonperformance.

As a diversified energy company, we transact with major companies in the energy industry and with commercial and residential energy consumers. Except for our gas and oil E&P business activities, these transactions principally occur in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions of the United States. We do not believe that this geographic concentration contributes significantly to our overall exposure to credit risk. In addition, as a result of our large and diverse customer base, we are not exposed to a significant concentration of credit risk for receivables arising from electric and gas utility operations, including transmission services and retail energy sales.



Our exposure to credit risk is concentrated primarily within our sales of gas and oil production and energy marketing and price risk management activities, as we transact with a smaller, less diverse group of counterparties and transactions may involve large notional volumes and potentially volatile commodity prices. Energy marketing and price risk management 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. Our gross credit exposure for each counterparty is calculated as outstanding receivables plus any unrealized on or off-balance sheet exposure, taking into account contractual netting rights. Gross credit exposure is calculated prior to the application of collateral. At June 30, 2006, our gross credit exposure totaled $1.20 billion. After the application of collateral, our credit exposure is reduced to $1.18 billion. Of this amount, investment grade counterparties represent 82% and no single counterparty exceeded 10%.

Employer Contributions
We made no contributions to our defined benefit pension plans or other postretirement benefit plans during the six months ended June 30, 2006. We expect to contribute at least $35 million to our other postretirement benefit plans during the remainder of 2006. Under our funding policies, we evaluate pension and other postretirement benefit plan funding requirements annually, usually in the second half of the year after receiving updated plan information from our actuary. Based on the funded status of each plan and other factors, the amount of additional contributions to be made in 2006 will be determined at that time.

Note 18.     Dominion Capital, Inc.
As discussed in Note 27 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, DCI held an investment in the subordinated notes of a third-party CDO entity. The CDO entity’s primary focus is the purchase and origination of middle market senior secured first and second lien commercial and industrial loans in both the primary and secondary loan markets. This investment consisted of $100 million of Class B-1 Notes, 7.5% current pay interest and $148 million of Class B-2 Notes, 3% paid-in-kind interest. Prior to June 2006, our intent was to seek a rating for and market the B-1 Notes and hold the B-2 Notes to maturity. DCI also had a commitment to fund up to $15 million of liquidity to the CDO entity, but this commitment has expired. The equity interests in the CDO entity are held by another entity that is not affiliated with us.





DCI’s investments in the CDO entity were previously included in available for sale securities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have decided to pursue the sale of the B-2 Notes. In June 2006 we recorded an $85 million charge in other operations and maintenance expense reflecting an other-than-temporary decline in the fair value of the B-2 Notes. An impairment charge was required because of a further increase in interest rates, an increase in our credit risk associated with the equity reduction discussed below and because we no longer expect the fair value of the B-2 Notes to recover prior to a sale.

In June 2006, the equity investor withdrew its capital from the CDO entity, which required a redetermination of whether the CDO entity is a VIE under FIN 46R. We concluded that the CDO entity is a VIE and that DCI is the primary beneficiary of the CDO entity, which we have consolidated in accordance with FIN 46R. Due to its consolidation, we now reflect the assets and liabilities of the CDO entity on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. At June 30, 2006, the CDO entity had $385 million of notes payable that mature in January 2017 and are nonrecourse to us. The CDO entity held the following assets that serve as collateral for its obligations at June 30, 2006:

Note 19.     Operating Segments
Our Company is organized primarily on the basis of products and services sold in the United States. We manage our operations through the following segments:

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

Dominion Energy includes our tariff-based electric transmission, natural gas transmission pipeline and underground natural gas storage businesses and an LNG facility. It also includes gathering and extraction activities, 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.

Dominion Generation includes the generation operations of our electric utility and merchant fleet, utility energy supply activities and energy marketing and price risk management activities associated with the optimization of generation assets.

Dominion E&P includes our 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 includes our corporate, service company and other functions (including unallocated debt), corporate-wide enterprise commodity price risk management and optimization services and the remaining assets of DCI. In addition, the contribution to net income by our primary operating segments is determined based on 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 and are instead reported in the Corporate segment. In the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we reported net expenses of $102 million and $56 million, respectively, in the Corporate segment attributable to our operating segments.

The net expenses in 2006 primarily related to the impact of a $162 million ($98 million after-tax) charge resulting from the write-off of certain regulatory assets related to the pending sale of Peoples and Hope, attributable to the Dominion Delivery segment.





The net expenses in 2005 largely 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
·
A $13 million ($8 million after-tax) charge related to our interest in a long-term power tolling contract that was divested in 2005, attributable to Dominion Generation.

Intersegment sales and transfers are based on underlying contractual agreements and may result in intersegment profit or loss.

DOMINION RESOURCES, INC.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Additionally, other risks that could cause actual results to differ from predicted results are set forth in Item 1A. Risk Factors in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Our forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs and assumptions using information available at the time the statements are made. We caution the reader not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements because the assumptions, beliefs, expectations and projections about future events may, and often do, differ materially from actual results. We undertake 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, 2006, there have been no significant changes with regard to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in MD&A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. 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
FIN 48
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 establishes standards for measurement and recognition in financial statements of positions taken by an entity in its income tax returns. In addition, FIN 48 requires new disclosures about positions taken by an entity in its tax returns that are not recognized in its financial statements, information about potential significant changes in estimates related to tax positions and descriptions of open tax years by major jurisdiction. The provisions of FIN 48 will become effective for us beginning January 1, 2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact that FIN 48 will have on our results of operations and financial condition.

Accounting for Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits
In late 2005, the FASB added a two-phase comprehensive project to its technical agenda to reconsider the accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits. In March 2006, the FASB issued an Exposure Draft, Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R), representing the first phase of the project. In this phase, the FASB is proposing to require that entities recognize the current economic over-funded or under-funded status of their defined benefit postretirement plans in their balance sheets effective December 31, 2006. The FASB’s goal is to issue a final Statement by September 2006. We are currently following the FASB’s deliberations and are assessing the impact that this new guidance will have on our results of operations and financial condition.

Overview
Second Quarter 2006 vs. 2005
Net income decreased 52% to $161 million, primarily resulting from the absence of business interruption insurance proceeds received in 2005 as a result of Hurricane Ivan, and the impairment of a DCI investment. These decreases were partially offset by a higher contribution from our merchant generation business.

Year-To-Date 2006 vs. 2005
Net income decreased 9% to $695 million. Unfavorable drivers include the absence of business interruption insurance proceeds received in 2005 as a result of Hurricane Ivan, charges associated with the pending sale of Peoples and Hope, higher fuel expenses incurred by our utility generation operations and the impairment of a DCI investment. Favorable drivers include increased gas and oil production, higher realized prices for gas and oil, and a higher contribution from our merchant generation business.

An analysis of our results of operations for the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2006 compared to the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2005 follows:

Second Quarter 2006 vs. 2005
Operating Revenue decreased 2% to $3.6 billion, primarily reflecting:
·
The absence of $135 million of business interruption insurance proceeds received in 2005 associated with Hurricane Ivan;
·
A $95 million decrease in non-utility coal sales revenue primarily resulting from decreased sales volumes ($74 million) and lower prices ($21 million);
·
An $81 million decrease from gas trading and marketing activities primarily reflecting decreased volumes and lower prices;
·
A $42 million decrease from regulated gas distribution operations, primarily reflecting a $35 million decrease resulting from the loss of customers to Energy Choice programs and a $27 million decrease associated with milder weather, changes in customer usage and other factors, partially offset by a $20 million increase related to the recovery of higher gas prices. The effect of this net decrease was largely offset by a corresponding decrease in Purchased gas expense;
·
A $30 million decrease in sales of emissions allowances held for resale, primarily as a result of decreased sales volume; and
·
A $20 million decrease in revenue from sales of gas purchased by E&P operations to facilitate gas transportation and other contracts.
These decreases to operating revenue were partially offset by the following:
·
A $108 million increase in sales of purchased oil under buy/sell arrangements by E&P operations, resulting from higher prices ($47 million) and increased sales volume ($61 million);




·
An $82 million increase in sales of gas and oil production, primarily due to higher volumes ($93 million), partially offset by decreased prices ($11 million);
·
A $47 million increase from the Kewaunee power station (Kewaunee) acquired in July 2005;
·
A $44 million increase in gas sales by nonregulated retail energy marketing activities primarily reflecting higher volumes;
·
A $43 million increase in sales of extracted products, primarily due to increased prices and a contractual change for a portion of our gas production processed by third parties. We now take title to and market the extracted products from this gas; and
·
A $41 million decrease in revenues associated with price risk management activities for our merchant generation operations, including lower sales volume for requirements-based
sales contracts.

Operating Expenses and Other Items
Electric fuel and energy purchases expense decreased 19% to $760 million, primarily reflecting the combined effects of:
·
A $254 million decrease in purchases primarily due to lower volumes associated with price risk management activities for our merchant generation operations and purchases for requirements-based sales contracts; partially offset by
·
A $50 million increase related to our utility generation operations, primarily due to higher commodity prices, including purchased power; and
·
An $18 million increase resulting from the addition of Kewaunee.
 
Purchased gas expense decreased 22% to $432 million, principally resulting from:
·
A $57 million decrease related to gas aggregation activities;
·
A $24 million decrease related to E&P operations;
·
A $22 million decrease from nonregulated retail energy marketing activities; and
·
A $28 million decrease in costs attributable to regulated gas distribution operations, reflecting lower prices ($12 million) and lower volumes ($16 million).
 
Other operations and maintenance expense increased 74% to $906 million, primarily reflecting the combined effects of:
·
An $89 million increase primarily resulting from price risk management activities associated with our merchant generation assets;
·
An $85 million charge resulting from the impairment of a DCI investment;
·
A $60 million increase due to an adjustment eliminating the application of hedge accounting for certain interest rate swaps associated with our junior subordinated notes payable to affiliated trusts that sold trust preferred securities. Prior to June 30, 2006, we applied the shortcut method of fair value hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133 to these swaps, allowing us to assume no hedge ineffectiveness for these derivatives. We have since determined that these swaps did not qualify for the shortcut method because of an interest deferral mechanism within the junior subordinated notes and they cannot qualify for hedge accounting retrospectively because the hedge documentation required for the long-haul method was not in place at the inception of the hedge. These instruments have been and, we believe, will continue to be highly effective economic hedges. We have since re-designated the interest rate swaps associated with these transactions as fair value hedges under the long-haul accounting method in order to qualify them going forward for fair value hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133;
·
$42 million of additional incentive-based compensation, salaries, wages and benefits expenses;
·
A $40 million decrease in gains from the sales of emission allowances held for consumption;
·
A $34 million increase due to the addition of Kewaunee;
·
A $33 million increase due to higher production and transportation costs for E&P operations; and
·
An $11 million increase in insurance costs for E&P operations, primarily due to higher insurance premiums following the 2005 hurricanes; partially offset by
·
A $20 million benefit resulting from favorable changes in the fair value of certain gas and oil derivatives that were de-designated as hedges following the 2005 hurricanes.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense (DD&A) increased 17% to $410 million, largely due to the impact of higher E&P finding and development costs, as well as increased gas and oil production.

Interest and related charges increased 14% to $261 million resulting principally from higher interest rates on variable rate debt, as well as increased commercial paper borrowings.



Year-to Date 2006 vs. 2005
Operating Revenue increased 2% to $8.5 billion, primarily reflecting:
·
A $246 million increase in sales of purchased oil under buy/sell arrangements by E&P operations resulting from higher prices ($95 million) and increased sales volumes ($151 million);
·
A $203 million increase in sales of gas and oil production, primarily due to increased production ($156 million) and higher average realized prices ($47 million);
·
A $146 million increase in gas sales by nonregulated retail energy marketing activities primarily reflecting higher volumes ($66 million) and increased prices ($80 million);
·
A $95 million increase from the addition of Kewaunee; and
·
A $79 million increase in sales of extracted products, primarily due to increased prices and a contractual change for a portion of our gas production processed by third parties. We now take title to and market the extracted products from this gas.
These benefits were partially offset by:
·
A $217 million decrease in revenues associated with price risk management activities for our merchant generation operations, including lower sales volume for requirements-based sales contracts;
·
A $165 million decline in nonutility coal sales resulting primarily from lower sales volumes ($147 million) and decreased prices ($18 million);
·
A $179 million decrease due to the absence of business interruption insurance proceeds recognized in 2005 associated with Hurricane Ivan;
·
A $30 million decrease in sales of emissions allowances held for resale, resulting from lower overall sales volumes for the current year-to-date period ($46 million), partially offset by higher prices realized on sales during the first quarter of 2006 ($16 million). The effect of this decrease was largely offset by a corresponding decrease in Other energy-related commodity purchases expense; and
·
A $22 million decrease in revenue from sales of gas purchased by E&P operations to facilitate gas transportation and other contracts.

Operating Expenses and Other Items
Electric fuel and energy purchases expense decreased 14% to $1.5 billion, primarily reflecting the combined effects of:
·
A $424 million decrease primarily due to lower volumes associated with price risk management activities for our merchant generation operations and purchases for requirements-based sales contracts; partially offset by
·
A $137 million increase related to our utility generation operations, primarily due to higher commodity prices, including purchased power and congestion costs associated with PJM; and
·
A $22 million increase resulting from the addition of Kewaunee.

Purchased electric capacity expense decreased 7% to $239 million, as a result of scheduled capacity reductions for certain long-term power purchase contracts, as well as the termination of a long-term power purchase agreement in connection with the acquisition of the related generating facility in February 2005.

Other energy-related commodity purchases expense increased 12% to $718 million due predominantly to a $241 million increase in purchases of oil under buy/sell arrangements by our E&P operations, partially offset by a $138 million decrease in nonutility coal purchased for resale and a $28 million decrease in purchases of emissions allowances held for resale.

Other operations and maintenance expense increased 24% to $1.7 billion, resulting from:
·
A $162 million charge from the write-off of certain regulatory assets related to the pending sale of Peoples and Hope;
·
$89 million of impairment charges related to DCI investments;
·
$76 million of additional salaries, wages, incentive-based compensation and benefits expenses;
·
A $61 million increase due to the addition of Kewaunee;
·
$61 million of additional production and transportation costs for E&P operations;
·
A $60 million increase due to an adjustment eliminating the application of hedge accounting for certain interest rate swaps associated with our junior subordinated notes payable to affiliated trusts;
·
A $33 million decrease in gains from the sale of emission allowances held for consumption;




·
A $33 million increase in expenses for regulated gas operations related to low income home energy assistance programs. These expenditures for regulated gas operations are recovered through rates and do not impact our net income; and
·
A $26 million increase in insurance costs for E&P operations primarily due to higher insurance premiums following the 2005 hurricanes.
These charges were partially offset by:
·
A $138 million benefit resulting from favorable changes in the fair value of certain gas and oil derivatives that were de-designated as hedges following the 2005 hurricanes;
·
A $33 million benefit primarily from price risk management activities associated with our merchant generation assets as discussed in Operating Revenue;
·
A $31 million benefit related to financial transmission rights (FTRs) granted by PJM to our utility generation operations to offset congestion costs associated with PJM spot market activity; and
·
A benefit resulting from the net impact of the following items recognized in 2005:
 
·
A $77 million charge resulting from the termination of a long-term power purchase agreement; and
 
·
A $47 million loss related to the discontinuance of hedge accounting for certain oil derivatives primarily resulting from a delay in reaching anticipated production levels in the Gulf of Mexico, and subsequent changes in the fair value of those derivatives; partially offset by
 
·
A $24 million net benefit recognized by regulated utility operations resulting from the establishment of certain regulatory assets and liabilities in connection with settlement of a North Carolina rate case.
 
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased 14% to $791 million, largely due to the impact of higher E&P finding and development costs, as well as increased gas and oil production.

Interest and related charges increased 11% to $526 million resulting principally from higher interest rates on variable rate debt.

Income tax expense reflects lower pretax book income and a decrease in our effective tax rate to 31.1% primarily resulting from a net tax benefit recorded in connection with our pending sale of Peoples and Hope, as discussed in Notes 5 and 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. This reduction was partially offset by an increase in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in the second quarter primarily associated with the impairment of a DCI investment.

Higher DD&A, primarily reflecting higher industry finding and development costs. For the year-to-date period, the increase also reflects increased acquisition costs.
(2)
Higher operations and maintenance expenses for the quarter, primarily resulting from increased production costs and salaries, wages and benefits expenses, partially offset by favorable changes in the fair value of certain gas and oil hedges that were de-designated following the 2005 hurricanes. Lower operations and maintenance expenses for the year-to-date period are largely attributable to favorable changes in the fair value of the de-designated hedges mentioned above.

Specific Items Attributable to Operating Segments
Year-To-Date 2006 vs. 2005
We reported expenses of $102 million and $56 million in 2006 and 2005, respectively, in the Corporate segment that are attributable to our operating segments. The net expenses in 2006 primarily reflect a $162 million ($98 million after-tax) charge resulting from the write-off of certain regulatory assets related to the pending sale of Peoples and Hope, attributable to the Dominion Delivery segment. In addition, we recognized a $21 million tax benefit from the partial reduction of previously recorded valuation allowances on certain federal and state tax loss carryforwards (attributable to Dominion Generation), since these carryforwards are expected to be utilized to offset capital gain income generated from the sale of Peoples and Hope.

The net expenses in 2005 largely 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
·
A $13 million ($8 million after-tax) charge related to our interest in a long-term power tolling contract that was divested in 2005, attributable to Dominion Generation.

DCI Operations
DCI’s net loss for the second quarter and year-to-date period increased $83 million and $81 million, respectively, primarily due to an $85 million impairment of a DCI investment.

Other Corporate Operations
Second Quarter 2006 vs. 2005
The net expenses associated with other corporate operations for 2006 increased $23 million, primarily reflecting an adjustment eliminating the application of hedge accounting for certain interest rate swaps associated with our junior subordinated notes to affiliated trusts, partially offset by a lower effective tax rate.

Year-To-Date 2006 vs. 2005
We reported net expenses of $66 million in 2006 associated with other corporate operations, as compared to net expenses of $100 million in 2005, primarily reflecting a net tax benefit recorded in 2006 as a result of the pending sale of Peoples and Hope. We recognized a $194 million tax benefit from the partial reduction of previously recorded valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, representing certain federal and state tax loss carryforwards, since these carryforwards are expected to be utilized to offset capital gain income generated from the sale. This benefit was partially offset by the establishment of $135 million of deferred tax liabilities in accordance with EITF 93-17, as discussed in Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements and an adjustment eliminating the application of hedge accounting for certain interest rate swaps associated with our junior subordinated notes to affiliated trusts.

Sources and Uses of Cash
We 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, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $83 million (including $2 million classified as held for sale on our Consolidated Balance Sheet) and $3.4 billion of unused capacity under our credit facilities. The $3.4 billion of unused capacity is comprised of approximately $3.1 billion under our core credit facilities and $295 million available under bilateral credit facilities.

Operating Cash Flows
As presented on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, net cash flows provided by operating activities were $2.0 billion and $1.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Management believes that our 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.

Our 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Credit Risk
Our exposure to potential concentrations of credit risk results primarily from our energy marketing and price risk management activities and sales of gas and oil production. Presented below is a summary of our gross credit exposure as of June 30, 2006 for these activities. Our gross credit exposure for each counterparty is calculated as outstanding receivables plus any unrealized on or off-balance sheet exposure, taking into account contractual netting rights. Gross credit exposure is calculated prior to the application of collateral.

Investing Cash Flows
For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, investing activities resulted in net cash outflows of $2.0 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively. Significant investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2006 included:
·
$1.0 billion of capital expenditures for the purchase and development of gas and oil producing properties, drilling and equipment costs and undeveloped lease acquisitions;
·
$913 million of capital expenditures for the construction and expansion of generation facilities, environmental upgrades, purchase of nuclear fuel, and construction and improvements of gas and electric transmission and distribution assets;
·
$530 million for the purchases of securities held as investments in our nuclear decommissioning trusts; and
·
$91 million related to the acquisition of Pablo Energy LLC, which holds producing and other properties in the Texas Panhandle area, net of cash acquired; partially offset by
·
$493 million of proceeds from the sales of securities held as investments in our nuclear decommissioning trusts; and
·
$20 million of proceeds received from prior year sales of gas and oil mineral rights and properties.
 
Financing Cash Flows and Liquidity
We rely on banks and capital markets as a significant source of funding for capital requirements not satisfied by cash provided by our operations. As discussed further in the Credit Ratings and Debt Covenants section below, our 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 meeting certain regulatory requirements and, in the case of Virginia Power, obtaining regulatory approval from the Virginia State Corporation Commission (Virginia Commission).

As presented on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, net cash used in financing activities was $100 million and $132 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

See Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our credit facilities, liquidity and significant financing transactions.



Credit Ratings
Credit ratings are intended to provide banks and capital market participants with a framework for comparing the credit quality of securities and are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. In the Credit Ratings section of MD&A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, we discussed the use of capital markets by Virginia Power, CNG and us (the Dominion Companies), as well as the impact of credit ratings on the accessibility and costs of using these markets. As of June 30, 2006, there have been no changes in the Dominion Companies’ credit ratings, other than the matters discussed in MD&A in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Debt Covenants
In June 2006, we executed a Replacement Capital Covenant (RCC) in connection with the offering of our $300 million 2006 Series A Enhanced Junior Subordinated Notes due 2066 (hybrids). We have initially designated the $250 million 8.4% Capital Securities of Dominion Resources Capital Trust III that were issued in January 2001 as covered debt under the RCC. In the future, we are allowed to change the series of our debt designated as covered debt under the RCC. Under the terms of the RCC, we agree not to redeem or repurchase all or part of the hybrids prior to June 30, 2036, unless we issue qualifying securities to non-affiliates in a replacement offering in the 180 days prior to the redemption or repurchase date. The proceeds we receive from the replacement offering, adjusted by a predetermined factor, must exceed the redemption or repurchase price. Qualifying securities include common stock, preferred stock and other securities that generally rank equal to or junior to the hybrids and include distribution deferral and long-dated maturity features similar to the hybrids. For purposes of the RCC, non-affiliates include individuals enrolled in our dividend reinvestment plan, direct stock purchase plan and employee benefit plans. For a complete copy of the RCC, refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 22, 2006. Other than the RCC discussed above, as of June 30, 2006, there have been no changes to or events of default under our debt covenants.

Future Cash Payments for Contractual Obligations
As of June 30, 2006, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the contractual obligations disclosed in MD&A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Use of Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In June 2006, we entered into a six-month weather derivative contract with an SPE that will provide us cash payments based on the occurrence of specific hurricane-related weather events in the Gulf of Mexico. This weather derivative was executed as an alternative to traditional business interruption insurance. Concurrent with the execution of the weather derivative contract, the SPE issued $50 million of catastrophe bonds. If specific weather events occur, we will be entitled to proceeds from the SPE of up to $50 million. If no specific weather events occur during the term of the contract, then we will not receive payment from the SPE. Under the weather derivative contract, we will make fixed payments to the SPE totaling approximately $5 million, which will be used by the SPE to pay a portion of the bond investors’ interest payments. We will also reimburse the SPE for certain operating costs, including bond issuance costs and other ongoing fees which should total less than $2 million. Our FIN 46R analysis determined that the SPE does not have sufficient equity investment at risk, and therefore is a VIE. Furthermore, we concluded that although our interest in the contract represents a variable interest in the SPE, we are not the primary beneficiary. We are not subject to any risk of loss from the contractual arrangement, as our only obligation is to make fixed payments to the SPE and pay certain operating costs of the SPE.





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 our Consolidated Financial Statements. This section should be read in conjunction with Future Issues and Other Matters in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Virginia Fuel Factor
In May 2006, the Governor of Virginia signed into law Senate Bill 262, a substitute energy bill with a provision that changes the way our Virginia jurisdictional fuel factor is set during the three and one-half year period beginning July 1, 2007. The bill became law effective July 1, 2006.
The fuel factor amendment:
·
Allows annual fuel rate adjustments for three twelve-month periods beginning July 1, 2007 and one six-month period beginning July 1, 2010 (unless capped rates are terminated earlier under the Virginia Restructuring Act);
·
Allows an adjustment at the end of each of the twelve-month periods to account for differences between projections and actual recovery of fuel costs during the prior twelve months; and
·
Authorizes the Virginia Commission to defer up to 40% of any fuel factor increase approved for the first twelve-month period, with recovery of the deferred amount over the two and one-half year period beginning July 1, 2008 (under prior law, such a deferral was not possible).
The amendment does not allow us to collect any unrecovered fuel expenses incurred prior to July 1, 2007.

Forward Capacity Market Settlement
Our New England generation plants participate in a market administered by the New England Independent System Operator (ISO-NE). In March 2006, ISO-NE and a broad cross-section of critical stakeholders from around the region filed a comprehensive settlement agreement at the Federal Regulatory Commission (FERC) implementing a Forward Capacity Market in place of Locational Installed Capacity. FERC approved the settlement in June 2006, however such settlement is currently under appeal.

Ohio Energy Choice Pilot Program
In May 2006, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (the Ohio Commission) approved our proposal for a two-year pilot program to improve and expand our Energy Choice Program. Under the current structure, non-Energy Choice customers purchase gas directly from us at a monthly gas cost recovery, or GCR, rate that includes true-up adjustments that can change significantly from one quarter to the next. Our approved proposal replaces the GCR with a monthly market price that eliminates those adjustments, making it easier for customers to compare and switch to competitive suppliers. By the end of the transition period, and subject to Ohio Commission approval, we plan to exit the gas merchant function in Ohio entirely and have all customers select an alternate gas supplier. We will continue to remain the provider of last resort in the event of default by a supplier.

Cove Point Expansion
In June 2006, FERC approved our plans to expand our Cove Point LNG terminal including the installation of two LNG storage tanks, each capable of storing 160 thousand cubic meters of LNG, and the expansion of our Cove Point pipeline to approximately 1.8 million dekatherms per day. FERC also approved our plans to expand our Dominion Transmission, Inc. facilities by building 81 miles of pipeline and two compressor stations in central Pennsylvania. Statoil ASA has committed to all of the incremental terminal, transportation and storage capacity of the expansion for a term of 20 years. We will begin expansion construction upon receipt of certain state and local permits, which is expected in the third quarter of 2006.

Potential Future Divestitures
We continually review our portfolio of assets to determine if they fit strategically and support our objectives to improve Dominion’s return on invested capital and shareholder value. If we identify assets that do not support our objectives going forward and believe they may be of greater value to another owner, we may consider them for divestiture. In connection with this effort, we are evaluating the possible sale of four of our merchant generation facilities. The facilities include:
·
State Line, a 515-megawatt coal-fired station in Hammond, Indiana;
·
Armstrong, a 625-megawatt natural gas-fired station in Shelocta, Pennsylvania;
·
Troy, a 600-megawatt natural gas-fired station in Luckey, Ohio, and
·
Pleasants, a 313-megawatt natural gas-fired station in St. Mary’s, West Virginia.





We currently operate the gas-fired units under leasing arrangements that terminate in November 2006. We intend to purchase the units under the terms of the lease agreements on or before the end of the lease term.

PJM Rate Design
In May 2005, FERC issued an order finding that PJM's existing transmission service rate design may not be just and reasonable, and ordered an investigation and hearings into the matter. Hearings were held in April 2006, and in July 2006, the Presiding Administrative Law Judge issued an Initial Decision. The Initial Decision concluded that the existing PJM transmission service rate design has been shown to be unjust and unreasonable, and should be replaced with a new rate design, effective April 2006. To avoid sudden rate increases, under the Initial Decision, the new rate design would be phased-in so that no customer receives greater than a 10% annual rate increase. The Initial Decision also concluded that other rate designs proposed in the hearing could be considered by FERC as alternatives to the rate design recommended in the Initial Decision. Our position is that the existing rate design remains just and reasonable, as supported by a broad coalition of PJM stakeholders. After submission of briefs by the parties, FERC will review the Initial Decision and make a determination whether to agree with it or to overrule the decision and issue a different ruling. At this time, we are unable to predict the ruling by FERC; however, we continue to monitor this matter.

Transmission Expansion Plan
In June 2006, PJM, as part of its latest Regional Transmission Expansion Plan, authorized construction of numerous electric transmission upgrades through 2011. We are involved in two of the major construction projects. The first project is an approximately 240-mile 500-kilovolt transmission line from southwestern Pennsylvania to Virginia, of which we will construct approximately 30 miles in Virginia and a subsidiary of Allegheny Energy, Inc. (Allegheny) will construct the remainder. The second project is an approximately 56-mile 500-kilovolt transmission line that we will construct in southeastern Virginia. These transmission upgrades are designed to improve the reliability of the PJM transmission system, including service to our customers. Construction of these transmission lines will be subject to applicable state and federal permits and approvals.



DOMINION RESOURCES, INC.
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 our future.

Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Risk Management
Our financial instruments, commodity contracts and related financial derivative instruments are exposed to potential losses due to adverse changes in commodity prices, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity security prices as described below. Commodity price risk is present in our 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, oil, electricity and other commodities. We use commodity derivative contracts to manage price risk exposures for these operations. Interest rate risk is generally related to our outstanding debt. We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks related to our purchases of fuel and fuel services denominated in foreign currencies. In addition, we are exposed to equity price risk through various portfolios of equity securities.

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
We manage price risk associated with purchases and sales of natural gas, oil, electricity and certain other commodities using commodity-based financial derivative instruments held for non-trading purposes. As part of our strategy to market energy and to manage related risks, we also hold commodity-based financial derivative instruments for trading purposes.

The derivatives used to manage risk are executed within established policies and procedures and include instruments such as futures, forwards, swaps and options that are sensitive to changes in the related commodity prices. For sensitivity analysis purposes, the fair value of commodity-based financial derivative 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. Prices and volatility are principally determined based on actively quoted market prices.

A hypothetical 10% unfavorable change in market prices of our non-trading commodity-based financial derivative instruments would have resulted in a decrease in fair value of approximately $671 million and $691 million as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. A hypothetical 10% unfavorable change in commodity prices would have resulted in a decrease of approximately $21 million and $3 million in the fair value of our commodity-based financial derivative instruments held for trading purposes as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

The impact of a change in energy commodity prices on our non-trading 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 commodity derivative instruments used for hedging purposes, to the extent realized, will generally be offset by recognition of the hedged transaction, such as revenue from sales.

Interest Rate Risk
We manage our interest rate risk exposure predominantly by maintaining a balance of fixed and variable rate debt. We also enter into interest rate sensitive derivatives, including interest rate swaps and interest rate lock agreements. For financial instruments outstanding at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, a hypothetical 10% increase in market interest rates would decrease annual earnings by approximately $21 million and $20 million, respectively.

In addition, we retain 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 27 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 discusses the impact of changes in value of these investments.




Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Our Canadian natural gas and oil E&P activities are relatively self-contained within Canada. As a result, our 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 our Consolidated Financial Statements. We monitor this exposure and believe it is not material. In addition, we have foreign exchange risk exposure associated with anticipated future purchases of nuclear fuel and nuclear fuel processing services denominated in foreign currencies. We manage certain of these risks by utilizing currency forward contracts. As a result of holding these contracts as hedges, our 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 $5 million and $8 million in the fair value of currency forward contracts held by us at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

Investment Price Risk
We are subject to investment price risk due to marketable securities held as investments in decommissioning trust funds. These marketable securities are reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. We recognized net realized gains (including investment income) on nuclear decommissioning trust investments of $41 million and $22 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively and $67 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. We recorded, in AOCI, net unrealized losses on decommissioning trust investments of $18 million and $21 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively and net unrealized gains on decommissioning trust investments of $27 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

We also sponsor 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 our 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 our disclosure controls and procedures 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. There were no changes in Dominion’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Dominion’s internal control over financial reporting.

In accordance with FIN 46R, we have included in our Consolidated Financial Statements certain VIEs through which we have financed and leased several power generation projects as well as our corporate headquarters and aircraft. Our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2006 reflects $586 million of property, plant and equipment and deferred charges and $688 million of related debt attributable to the VIEs. As these VIEs are owned by unrelated parties, we do 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.





DOMINION RESOURCES, INC.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are alleged to be in violation or in default under orders, statutes, rules or regulations relating to the environment, compliance plans imposed upon or agreed to by us, or permits issued by various local, state and federal agencies for the construction or operation of facilities. Administrative proceedings may also be pending on these matters. In addition, in the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various legal proceedings. We believe that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity or results of operations. See Future Issues and Other Matters in MD&A and Environmental Matters in Note 15 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for discussions on various environmental and other regulatory proceedings to which we are a party.

Before being acquired by us, Louis Dreyfus Natural Gas Corp. (Louis Dreyfus) was one of numerous defendants in a lawsuit consolidated and pending in the 93rd Judicial Court in Hidalgo County, Texas. The lawsuit alleged that gas wells and related pipeline facilities operated by Louis Dreyfus and other facilities operated by other defendants caused an underground hydrocarbon plume in McAllen, Texas. In April 2006, we entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs resolving all of their claims against us. In May 2006, the plaintiffs non-suited Dominion with prejudice. We remain subject, however, to a cross-claim and an indemnity claim with certain of the other defendants that were not a party to our settlement with the plaintiffs. Neither claim is material and we do not expect the resolution of these remaining claims or the settlement to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial condition.




ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business is influenced by many factors that are difficult to predict, involve uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and are often beyond our control. We have identified a number of these risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, which should be taken into consideration when reviewing the information contained in this report. With respect to our previous disclosure regarding our exposure to cost-recovery shortfalls because of capped rates and amendments to the fuel factor statute in effect in Virginia, we note that in May 2006, the Governor of Virginia signed into law Senate Bill 262, which became effective July 1, 2006. With the exception of the risk factor below, which has been modified to take into account recent developments relating to insurance for our E&P operations, there have been no other material changes with regard to the risk factors previously disclosed in our most recent Forms 10-K and 10-Q. For other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in any forward-looking statement or projection contained in this report, see Forward-Looking Statements in MD&A.

Our 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 our assets. Factors that may affect our financial results include damage to or suspension of operations caused by weather, fire, explosion or other events to our or third-party gas and oil facilities, fluctuations in natural gas and crude oil prices, results of future drilling and well completion activities and our 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 our financial results by causing a permanent write-down of our 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) at the end of any quarterly period, then a permanent write-down of the assets must be recognized in that period.

In the past, we have maintained business interruption, property damage and other insurance for our E&P operations. However, the recent increased level of hurricane activity in the Gulf of Mexico has led our insurers to terminate certain coverages for our E&P operations; specifically, our Operator’s Extra Expense (OEE), offshore property damage and offshore business interruption coverage has been terminated. All onshore property coverage (with the exception of OEE) and liability coverage commensurate with past coverage remain in place for our E&P operations under our current policy. Efforts to replace the terminated insurance for our E&P operations with similar insurance on commercially reasonable terms have been unsuccessful. We have recently entered into a six-month weather derivative contract with an SPE, as further described in Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. This arrangement provides limited alternative risk mitigation; however, it offers substantially less protection than our previous E&P insurance policies. This lack of insurance could adversely affect our results of operations.
