COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Nature of Operations

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

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

As permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC, Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain certain condensed financial information and exclude certain footnote disclosures normally included in annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes in Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and their Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011.

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

The Companies make certain estimates and assumptions in preparing their Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

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

The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. Information for quarterly periods is affected by seasonal variations in sales, rate changes, electric fuel and other energy-related purchases, purchased gas expenses and other factors.

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

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

Note 3. Dispositions

Sale of Appalachian E&P Operations

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

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

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

 

PAGE 14


Table of Contents

Sale of Peoples

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

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

Note 4. Ceiling Test

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

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

Note 6. Income Taxes

Continuing Operations

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

 

     Dominion     Virginia Power  

Nine Months Ended September 30,

   2011     2010     2011     2010  

U.S. statutory rate

     35.0     35.0     35.0     35.0

Increases (reductions) resulting from:

        

State taxes, net of federal benefit

     3.6        4.5        3.9        3.9   

Legislative changes

     —          1.2        —          1.3   

Other, net

     (1.4     (0.4     (0.5     (1.3
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

Effective tax rate

     37.2     40.3     38.4     38.9
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

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

See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for a discussion of the Companies’ unrecognized tax benefits. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s unrecognized tax benefits changed as follows:

 

     Dominion     Virginia Power  
(millions)             

Balance at January 1, 2011

   $ 307      $ 117   

Increases – prior period positions

     24        17   

Decreases – prior period positions

     (53 )     (33

Current period positions

     41        23   
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

Balance at September 30, 2011

   $ 319      $ 124   
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

With the expiration of statutes of limitations, completion of audits and possible settlements with tax authorities, it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits could decrease during the next 12 months by up to $60 million for Dominion and up to $30 million for Virginia Power. In addition, based on Dominion’s decision in October 2011 to file tax refund claims involving uncertainty in the reporting of asset dispositions, unrecognized tax benefits increased by $96 million.

Discontinued Operations

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

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements

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

At September 30, 2011, Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s net balance of commodity derivatives categorized as Level 3 fair value measurements was a net liability of $42 million and $21 million, respectively. A hypothetical 10% increase in commodity prices would increase Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s Level 3 net liability by $100 million and $7 million, respectively, while a hypothetical 10% decrease in commodity prices would decrease Dominion’s and Virginia Power’s Level 3 net liability by $101 million and $7 million, respectively.

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

In September 2010, Virginia Power evaluated its SO2 emissions allowances not expected to be consumed by its generating units for potential impairment due to the significant decline in market prices since the July 2010 release of the EPA’s proposed replacement rule for CAIR, ultimately known as CSAPR. As a result of this evaluation, Virginia Power recorded an impairment charge of $13 million ($8 million after-tax) in other operations and maintenance expense in its Consolidated Statement of Income, to write down its SO2 emissions allowances not expected to be consumed to their estimated fair value of less than $1 million. In the third quarter of 2011, Dominion and Virginia Power evaluated their SO2 emissions allowances not expected to be consumed by generating units for potential impairment due to the EPA’s issuance of CSAPR as discussed in Note 15. Prior to the issuance of CSAPR, Dominion and Virginia Power held $57 million and $43 million, respectively, of SO2 emissions allowances obtained for ARP and CAIR compliance. Due to CSAPR’s establishment of a new allowance program and the elimination of CAIR, Dominion and Virginia Power have more SO2 emissions allowances than needed for ARP compliance. As a result of this evaluation, Dominion and Virginia Power recorded an impairment charge of $57 million ($34 million after-tax) and $43 million ($26 million after-tax), respectively, in other operations and maintenance expense in their Consolidated Statements of Income, to write down these emissions allowances to their estimated fair value of less than $1 million. To estimate the value of these emissions allowances in both impairment tests, Dominion utilized a market approach by obtaining broker quotes to validate CSAPR’s impact on emissions allowance prices. However, due to limited market activity for future SO2 vintage year allowances, these are considered a Level 3 fair value measurement.

In June 2010, Dominion evaluated State Line for impairment due to the station’s relatively low level of profitability combined with the EPA’s issuance of a new stringent 1-hour primary NAAQS for SO2 that would likely require significant environmental capital expenditures in the future. As a result of this evaluation, Dominion recorded an impairment charge of $163 million ($95 million after-tax) in other operations and maintenance expense in its Consolidated Statement of Income, to write down State Line’s long-lived assets to their estimated fair value of $59 million. During March 2011, Dominion determined that it was unlikely that State Line would participate in the May 2011 PJM capacity base residual auction that would commit State Line’s capacity from June 2014 through May 2015. This determination reflected an expectation that margins for coal-fired generation will remain compressed in the 2014 and 2015 period in combination with the expectation that State Line may be impacted during the same time period by environmental regulations that would likely require significant capital expenditures. As a result, Dominion evaluated State Line for impairment since it was more likely than not that State Line would be retired before the end of its previously estimated useful life. As a result of this evaluation, Dominion recorded an impairment charge of $55 million ($39 million after-tax) reflected in other operations and maintenance expense in its Consolidated Statement of Income, to write down State Line’s long-lived assets to their estimated fair value of less than $1 million. As management was not aware of any recent market transactions for comparable assets with sufficient transparency to develop a market approach to fair value, Dominion used the income approach (discounted cash flows) to estimate the fair value of State Line’s long-lived assets in both impairment tests. These were considered Level 3 fair value measurements due to the use of significant unobservable inputs including estimates of future power and other commodity prices.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

(1) Fair value is estimated using market prices, where available, and interest rates currently available for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The carrying amount of debt issues with short-term maturities and variable rates refinanced at current market rates is a reasonable estimate of their fair value.
(2) Includes amounts which represent the unamortized discount and premium. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, includes the valuation of certain fair value hedges associated with Dominion’s fixed rate debt of approximately $103 million and $49 million, respectively.
(3) Includes issuance expenses of $2 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Note 10. Derivatives and Hedge Accounting Activities

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

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

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

The amounts that will be reclassified from AOCI to earnings will generally be offset by the recognition of the hedged transactions (e.g., anticipated sales) in earnings, thereby achieving the realization of prices contemplated by the underlying risk management strategies and will vary from the expected amounts presented above as a result of changes in market prices and interest rates.

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

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