CONSOLIDATED NATURAL GAS COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



(1)	With the exception of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 1999, which is derived from the Consolidated Balance Sheet at that date which was included in Exhibit I to Consolidated Natural Gas Company's (CNG or
the Company) Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 27, 2000 (January 27, 2000 Form 8-K), the consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2000, the results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and cash flows for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

The income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2000 includes the effect of a retroactive restatement. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements. Certain amounts in the 1999 consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation.

Because a major portion of the gas sold or transported by the Company's distribution and transmission operations is ultimately used for space heating, both revenues and earnings are subject to seasonal fluctuations. Seasonal
fluctuations are further influenced by the timing of price relief granted under regulation to compensate for past cost increases.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, with all significant intercompany transactions and accounts being eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, included in the January 27, 2000 Form 8-K.

(2) In June 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, which amends SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard addresses a limited number of SFAS No. 133 implementation issues, including expanded availability of exclusions of normal purchase and normal sale agreements from
classification as derivatives. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133, as amended, on January 1, 2001. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact and method of adoption of SFAS No. 133 and has not estimated the financial impact of adoption.

(3)	On January 28, 2000, Dominion Resources, Inc. (Dominion) acquired all of the outstanding shares of CNG's common stock for $6.4 billion, consisting of approximately 87 million shares of Dominion common stock and approximately $2.9
billion of cash. The acquisition was completed by merging CNG into a new subsidiary of Dominion. The name of the new Dominion subsidiary was changed to Consolidated Natural Gas Company at the time of the merger.

(4) 2000 Restructuring and Other Merger-Related Costs

Dominion and its subsidiaries developed and began the implementation of a plan to restructure the operations of the combined companies. The restructuring plan includes the following components:

- An involuntary severance program;
- A transition plan to implement operational changes to provide efficiencies, including the consolidation of post-merger operations and the integration of information technology systems;
- A voluntary early retirement program (the ERP).

Restructuring Liability Recognized at June 30, 2000

Dominion and its subsidiaries established a comprehensive involuntary severance package for salaried employees whose positions will be eliminated. Severance payments are based on the individual's base salary and years-of-service at
the time of termination. Under the restructuring plan, approximately 400 employee positions at CNG and its subsidiaries have been identified for elimination. In the first quarter of 2000, the Company recorded an estimated expense of $43.7 millionassociated with the planned involuntary terminations. In the second quarter of 2000, the estimated expense and related liability were reduced by $15.6 million. This revision resulted primarily from 1) reduced severance benefits for employees also
receiving benefits under the ERP and 2) terminated employees having less years of service and lower monthly base pay than originally estimated. At June 30, 2000, a total of 308 positions had been eliminated, and $7.6 million of severance benefits had been
paid.

A reconciliation of the severance liability for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000 follows:

Other Restructuring and Merger-Related Costs

Dominion has implemented a new hedging strategy for its combined operations. Under its new strategy, Dominion created an enterprise risk management group with responsibility for managing Dominion's aggregate energy portfolio,
including the related commodity price risk, across its consolidated operations. Previously, individual business segments managed their respective energy portfolios and related price risk exposure on a stand-alone basis. Dominion management believes this
new structure should result in a more effective risk management approach, thus maximizing the value of Dominion's diversified energy portfolio and market opportunities. As part of the implementation of the new strategy, Dominion and CNG management
evaluated CNG's hedging strategy associated with its oil and gas operations in relation to Dominion's combined operations. As a result of the evaluation, CNG designated its portfolio of derivative

contracts that existed at January 28, 2000 as held for purposes other than hedging for accounting purposes. This action required such contracts to be carried at fair value in the balance sheet with unrealized gains and losses
included in the determination of net income. In addition, the Company entered into "offsetting" contracts for those contracts in the January 28, 2000 portfolio that would not be settled during the first quarter of 2000. The mark-to-market accounting for
these contracts held for purposes other than hedging resulted in the recognition of losses of $55.1 million for the first quarter of 2000 and six months ended June 30, 2000. Due to the Company's establishing the offsetting portfolio of derivative
contracts, absent any not yet identified future losses from credit risk exposure, no additional losses are expected to result as these derivative contracts mature through 2003. See Note 9 for further discussion.

The change of control required settlement of certain employment contracts and payments under seismic licensing agreements used in the Company's oil and gas operations. The information technology related costs include accelerated
depreciation of information technology systems that are expected to be abandoned on January 1, 2001 and related conversion costs.

CNG is expected to incur additional charges relating to restructuring and other merger-related activities as business operations are consolidated and administrative functions are integrated.

Early Retirement Program

Salaried employees of CNG and its subsidiaries, excluding officers, and employees of Virginia Natural Gas (VNG) and CNG International, who had attained age 52 and completed at least 12 years of service as of July 1, 2000 were
eligible under the ERP. In addition, employees covered by several collective bargaining agreements were also eligible. The early retirement option provides up to three additional years of age and three additional years of employee service, subject to age
and service maximums, for benefit formula purposes under the companies' postretirement medical and pension plans. During the second quarter of 2000, approximately 450 CNG employees elected to participate in the ERP, resulting in an expense approximating
$61.7 million. This expense was offset, in part, by curtailment gains of $25.5 million attributable to reductions in expected future years of service as a result of ERP participation and involuntary employee terminations. Some of the ERP participants will
also receive benefits under the involuntary severance package. Benefits under the involuntary severance package are subject to reduction as a result of coordination with the additional retirement plan benefits provided by the ERP.

1999 Restructuring and Other Merger-Related Costs

Shareholder approval of the merger with Dominion constituted a change of control as defined in the Company's then effective stock incentive plans. The change of control triggered acceleration of the vesting of stock options and certain
other stock awards. Also, the change of control effectively granted limited stock appreciation rights to holders of vested stock options and certain other stock awards. Holders were permitted to elect to receive a cash payment in exchange for surrendering
vested stock options and awards during the period July 1, 1999 through August 29, 1999. The amount to be paid to the holders was based on the value determined per the associated plans, which considered the option exercise price, award value, and the
change of control price as defined in the plans. Based on the value of the vested options and awards expected to be surrendered and cashed out, the Company recognized a charge of $153.5 million during the second quarter of 1999. In addition, the Company
recorded charges for other merger costs, including direct incremental costs (including fees of financial advisors, legal counsel and other costs). These charges totaled $11.8 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1999. See Note (2) to
the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the January 27, 2000 Form 8-K for additional information.

(5) There have been no significant developments with regard to commitments and contingencies, including environmental matters, as disclosed in Notes (17) and (18) to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the January 27, 2000
Form 8-K, nor have any significant new matters arisen during the six months ended June 30, 2000.

(6)	Certain increases in prices by the Company and other rate-making issues are subject to final modification in regulatory proceedings. The related accumulated provisions pertaining to these matters were $40.5 million and $38.7
million at June 30, 2000, and December 31, 1999, respectively, including interest. These amounts are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet under "Estimated rate contingencies and refunds" together with $1.3 million

and $6.2 million, respectively, which are primarily refunds received from suppliers and refundable to customers under regulatory procedures.

(7)	At June 30, 2000, the Company's net assets held for sale include the net assets of VNG of $335.5 million. CNG is required to spin-off or sell VNG pursuant to conditions set forth by the Virginia State Corporation Commission
(Virginia Commission) and Federal Trade Commission in connection with their approval of the acquisition of CNG by Dominion. On May 8, 2000, Dominion and CNG reached an agreement with AGL Resources Inc (AGL) regarding the sale of VNG. AGL will pay from
$500 million to $550 million in cash depending upon the final structure of the sale. Dominion and AGL have filed for approval of the sale with the Virginia State Corporation Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). On July 28, 2000,
the Virginia Commission approved the sale. The companies expect to receive SEC approval to permit a closing of the sale during the fourth quarter of 2000.

At June 30, 2000, the Company's net assets held for sale also include the net assets of CNG International of $215.5 million. CNG International engages in energy-related activities outside of the United States and holds equity
investments in Australia and Argentina. Consistent with its strategy to focus on its core business, in the first quarter of 2000, management committed to a plan of disposal for CNG International. The total loss related to CNG International, discussed
below, for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $152.3 million ($98.9 million after tax).

In the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company recognized a pretax loss of $35.1 million ($22.8 million after taxes) to write down the carrying amount of CNG International's Australian investments to estimated fair value less cost
to sell. The Company's estimate is based principally on a discounted cash flow analysis. In addition, the Company believes it is probable that, as part of a sale, it will be required to make a $100 million equity contribution pursuant to the Equity
Contribution Agreement discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements included in the January 27, 2000 Form 8-K filed by CNG. Accordingly, the Company has recognized a $100 million ($65 million after taxes) charge in the six months ended
June 30, 2000. During the second quarter of 2000, the Company became aware of certain information that existed in the first quarter of 2000. However, the evaluation of such data was not completed until sometime thereafter. Management, therefore, has
determined that recognition of the impairment and accrual for the probable equity contribution would most appropriately be reflected in the first quarter of 2000. As a result, the Company has restated the March 31, 2000 carrying value of CNG
International's Australian investments and retroactively recognized $135.1 million ($87.8 million after taxes) in the first quarter of 2000. The Company plans to file a Form 10-Q/A to reflect this information.

On July 7, 2000, Sempra Energy International, a subsidiary of Sempra Energy, agreed to purchase CNG International's Argentine assets for $145.0 million. Based upon anticipated proceeds from the sale, the carrying amount of these
investments has been adjusted and an impairment loss of $17.2 million, $11.1 million after-tax, has been recognized in the second quarter of 2000. CNG expects to close the sale by the end of 2000.

(8)	In June 2000, Dominion established a $1.75 billion credit facility that supports the combined commercial paper programs of CNG, Virginia Electric and Power Company (a Dominion subsidiary), and Dominion. As a result of CNG's
participation in the new facility, its $1.0 billion credit agreement scheduled to expire on June 22, 2000, was terminated effective June 1, 2000. Although CNG has access to the full $1.75 billion, it will operate within a limit of $850.0 million
determined by Dominion.

(9)	During the first quarter of 2000, Dominion implemented a new hedging strategy for its combined operations. Under its new strategy, Dominion created an enterprise risk management group with responsibility for managing Dominion's
aggregate energy portfolio, including the related commodity price risk, across its consolidated operations. Previously, individual business segments managed their respective energy portfolios and related price risk exposure on a stand-alone basis.
Dominion management believes this new structure should result in a more effective risk management approach, thus maximizing the value of Dominion's diversified energy portfolio and market opportunities.

As part of the implementation of the new strategy, Dominion and CNG management evaluated CNG's hedging strategy associated with its oil and gas operations in relation to Dominion's combined operations. As a result of the evaluation, CNG
designated its portfolio of derivative contracts that existed at January 28, 2000 as held for purposes other than hedging for accounting purposes. This action required a change to mark-to-market accounting where derivative contracts are carried at fair
value in the balance sheet with any future unrealized gains and losses included in the

CONSOLIDATED NATURAL GAS COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Continued)

determination of net income. At January 28, 2000, the fair value of the derivative contracts represented a net unrealized loss of approximately $69.8 million. This net unrealized loss will be included in the determination of net
income, as an adjustment to revenues, through net settlement accounting as such contracts mature through 2003. At June 30, 2000, approximately $43.5 million of the $69.8 million of net unrealized losses are included in Deferred Charges and Other Assets,
pending future settlement of the related contracts.

In addition, during the first quarter of 2000, CNG entered into "offsetting" contracts for those contracts in the January 28, 2000 portfolio that were not settled during the first quarter of 2000. Upto the date that the
offsetting contracts were entered into, the mark-to-market accounting for the original portfolio resulted in a loss of approximately $55.1 million for the first quarter of 2000 and six months ended June 30, 2000. Due to the Company's establishing the offsetting portfolio of derivative
contracts,absent any not yet identified future losses from credit risk exposure, no additional material losses are expected to result as these derivative contracts mature through 2003. Related to these contracts, a liability representing future contract
settlements of approximately $75.9 million is reported in Deferred Credits and Other Liabilities at June 30, 2000.

Pursuant to the implementation of Dominion's new risk management strategy, CNG and its subsidiaries entered into new derivative contracts and designated them as hedges of sales of future oil and gas production. Any losses ultimately
realized on the hedging portfolio should generally be offset by future sales revenue from oil and gas production.



(10) 	The Company is organized primarily on the basis of products and services sold in the United States. For a detailed description of the Company's business segments, reference is made to Note 19 to the consolidated financial
statements included in the January 27, 2000 Form 8-K. Corporate and Eliminations includes the effects of 1) the 2000 and 1999 restructuring and other merger-related costs and 2) impairment loss on CNG International assets as the individual segments were
not held accountable for the charges. Note that 1999 segment information has been restated to reflect the inclusion of Dominion Field Services, Inc., in the Transmission segment (previously included in Other).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Information

Certain matters discussed in this Form 10-Q, including Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations, are "forward-looking statements" intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability established by the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified as such because the context of the statement will include words such as Consolidated Natural Gas Company (CNG or the Company) "believes,"
"anticipates," "expects" or words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe the Company's future plans, objectives or goals are also forward-looking statements. Such statements may address future events and conditions concerning the
acquisition of the Company by Dominion Resources, Inc. (Dominion), capital expenditures, earnings, risk management, litigation, environmental matters, rate and other regulatory matters, liquidity and capital resources, and financial accounting and
reporting matters. Actual results in each instance could differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements, due to factors such as: natural gas and electric industry restructuring, including ongoing state and federal activities; the
weather; demographics; general economic conditions and specific economic conditions in the Company's distribution service areas; developments in the legislative, regulatory and competitive environment in which the Company operates; and other circumstances
affecting anticipated revenues and costs.

The financials statements included in this report reflect the retroactive restatement of the Company's financial statements included in the Form 10-Q previously filed for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2000. The restatement
adjusts for the recognition during the first quarter of an impairment of certain equity investments in Australia held by CNG International and the accrual for a probable equity contribution to such investments. See Note 7 to consolidated financial
statements. Accordingly, the Company will be filing a Form10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

A major portion of the gas sold or transported by the Company's distribution and transmission operations is ultimately used for space heating. As a result, earnings are affected by seasonality and changes in the weather. Because
most of the operating subsidiaries are subject to price regulation by federal or state commissions, earnings can be affected by regulatory delays when price increases are sought through general rate filings to recover certain higher costs of operation.



System Results



CNG reported net income for the second quarter of 2000 of $7.4 million, compared with a net loss of $80.0 million in the second quarter of 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, CNG reported a net loss of $27.9 million, compared
with net income of $59.0 million in 1999. The results for both years reflect the impact of restructuring and other merger-related costs. In addition, both the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000 were adversely impacted by the recognition of
the impairment of foreign investments held for sale. Higher prices for gas, oil and by-products, and increased gas production were positive factors in the current periods.

Operating Revenues

Regulated gas sales revenues increased $21.7 million to $217.1 million in the second quarter of 2000 compared to 1999. Average sales rates for all three customer groups increased compared to the 1999 quarter reflecting higher
purchased gas prices. Overall gas sales volumes increased primarily due to cooler weather. Sales volumes increased for residential customers and decreased slightly for commercial and industrial customers. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, regulated
gas sales revenues increased $35.4 million to $857.5 million, as compared to 1999, reflecting higher average sales rates for all three customer groups offset somewhat by lower overall sales volumes. Sales volumes for residential and commercial customers
were down for the first six months of 2000, reflecting milder weather in the first quarter of 2000, while industrial sales volumes were higher.



CONSOLIDATED NATURAL GAS COMPANY

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Continued)

Nonregulated gas sales revenues increased $129.6 million to $247.9 million for the second quarter of 2000 and increased $188.3 million to $446.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to 1999, due to higher
prices, increased gas production and higher sales volumes by Dominion Field Services. These increased sales volumes reflect, in part, the transfer of gas marketing operations from Dominion to CNG during the second quarter of 2000.

Gas transportation and storage revenues decreased $10.0 million to $110.3 million for the second quarter of 2000, as compared to 1999. For the first six months of 2000, as compared to 1999, gas transportation and storage revenues decreased $12.6
million to $291.9 million. Gas transportation revenues decreased reflecting primarily changes in amounts reserved for rate contingencies as compared to 1999. The decrease in gas transportation revenues was partially offset by increased gas storage revenue
for both the second quarter and first six months of 2000, as compared to 1999.
For the second quarter of 2000, other operating revenues increased $37.1 million to $145.6 million over the same quarter in 1999. Other operating revenues increased $107.1 million to $294.7 million for the first six months of 2000, as compared to 1999.
Revenues from the sale of oil and condensate production increased $7.5 million and $19.9 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, due to higher prices partially offset by lower production, as compared to 1999. Brokered oil
sales increased $15.4 million and $52.3 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2000, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1999, reflecting lower volumes but a sharp rise in oil prices. Revenues from the sale of products
extracted from natural gas increased $12.4 million for the second quarter of 2000, and increased $29.6 million in the first six months of 2000, as compared to the same periods in 1999. These increases reflect slightly lower volumes more than offset by
higher by-product sales prices.



Operating Expenses

Three months ended June 30, 2000 vs. 1999

Operating expenses, excluding income taxes, increased $11.1 million to $653.2 million for the second quarter of 2000 as compared to the second quarter of 1999. Purchased gas increased $127.5 million to $245.8 million for the second
quarter of 2000 reflecting both increased volumes and higher prices. Liquids, capacity and other products purchased increased $10.8 million, to $72.3 million, due primarily to increased prices for oil purchased to satisfy brokered oil sales. Restructuring
and other merger-related costs of $32.5 million and $165.3 million for the second quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively, were incurred in connection with the acquisition of CNG by Dominion (see Other Information section below and Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements). Combined operation and maintenance expense in the second quarter of 2000 was $147.8 million, a decrease of $11.4 million compared to the prior year quarter. This
decrease reflects lower labor, administrative and general costs offset partially by administrative and corporate support costs provided by Dominion's services company not present in the prior year. Depreciation and amortization increased $17.3 million, to
$111.9 million, due chiefly to the acquisition of additional producing properties in late 1999 and early 2000.

Six months ended June 30, 2000 vs. 1999

Operating expenses, excluding income taxes, increased $278.4 million to $1.7 billion for the first six months of 2000 as compared to 1999. Purchased gas increased $174.0 million, to $707.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2000 reflecting both increased volumes and higher prices. Liquids, capacity and other products purchased increased $47.3 million, to $166.8 million, due primarily to increased prices for oil purchased to satisfy brokered oil sales. Restructuring and other
merger-related costs of $205.3 million and $165.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, were incurred in connection with the acquisition of CNG by Dominion (see Other Information section below and Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements). Combined operation and maintenance expense in the first six months of 2000 was $319.4 million relatively unchanged from the prior year period. Activity in this
category of expenses included reduced labor, administrative and general expenses offset by increased reserves for uncollectible accounts and administrative and corporate support costs provided by Dominion's services company not present in the prior year.
In addition, maintenance expense decreased reflecting workover expenses at one of the Company's deep water properties in 1999. Depreciation and amortization increased $28.1 million, to $210.0 million, due chiefly to the acquisition of additional producing
properties in late 1999 and

(Continued)

early 2000. Taxes, other than income taxes, decreased $11.6 million, to $97.7 million, reflecting lower Ohio excise taxes and the discontinuance of Pennsylvania gross receipts tax as of January 1, 2000. This decrease in gross
receipts taxes was accompanied by a decrease in revenues as customer collections for this tax ceased for gas services provided on or after January 1, 2000.

Income taxes increased in the quarter ended June 30, 2000, as compared to 1999, primarily due to a decrease in restructuring and other merger-related costs, offset in part, by the recognition of impairment losses on certain CNG
International's foreign investments in 2000. Income taxes decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to 1999, primarily due to the recognition of impairment losses on CNG International's foreign investments. See Note 7 to consolidated
financial statements.

Other Income (Deductions)

For the second quarter of 2000, the Company reported other deductions of $5.9 million as compared to other income of $4.3 million for 1999. For the first six months of 2000, the Company reported other deductions of $135.5 million,
as compared to other income of $4.8 million in 1999. These amounts reflect primarily the $135.1 million and $17.2 million pretax losses representing impairments of CNG International's Australian and Argentine investments and the accrual for a probable
equity contribution associated with the Australian investments. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements and theDivestitures section below for more information.



Interest Charges

Total interest charges increased in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to 1999, reflecting higher levels of long-term debt and higher interest rates on commercial paper during the comparative periods.

In connection with the discussion of results of operations, reference is also made to Note 6, 9, and 10 to the consolidated financial statements.

Business Segment Results

Distribution

The Company's Distribution segment reported an operating loss before income taxes of $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2000, compared to operating income before income taxes of $2.9 in the same quarter in 1999. Total
distribution throughput in the second quarter of 2000 decreased 1.6 Bcf, to 73.1 Bcf. Gas sales volumes increased 2.0 Bcf to 29.8 Bcf reflecting higher residential gas sales volumes due to comparatively cooler weather over 1999. This increase was offset
by a 3.6 Bcf decrease in transport volumes to 43.3 Bcf, related primarily to commercial and industrial customers.

For the first six months of 2000, the Company's Distribution segment reported operating income before income taxes of $160.0 million, unchanged from the results reported for the period in 1999. Total distribution throughput for the six
month period of 2000 increased 1.2 Bcf, to 248.9 Bcf. Gas sales volumes decreased 3.2 Bcf to 132.0 Bcf reflecting lower residential gas sales volumes due to comparatively milder weather during the first quarter of 2000 compared to 1999. This decrease was
offset by a 4.4 Bcf increase in transport volumes to 116.9 Bcf, related primarily to residential, industrial and off-system customers.

Transmission

Operating income before income taxes of the Transmission segment in the second quarter of 2000 was $40.0 million, up $0.9 million from the second quarter of 1999. For the first six months of 2000, operating income before income
taxes was $121.1 million, up $9.9 million from 1999. The quarter and year-to-date results reflect increased nonregulated gas sales volumes and prices as well as higher prices for natural gas by-products. Gas transportion

(Continued)

revenues decreased primarily as a result of changes in amounts reserved for rate contingencies as compared to the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999.

Exploration and Production

The Exploration and Production segment reported operating income before income taxes of $64.2 million in the second quarter of 2000, compared to $31.8 million in 1999. These results reflect higher gas and oil wellhead prices and an
6 percent increase in gas production. The Company's average gas wellhead price increased $.76 to $2.93 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) in the second quarter of 2000 over 1999. Gas production was 42.3 Bcf, up 2.3 Bcf from 1999. The Company's average oil
price was $19.18 per barrel in the second quarter of 2000, compared to $11.88 in the prior year period. Oil production of 1.8 million barrels in the second quarter of 2000 was down 0.5 million barrels as compared to 1999 levels.

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Exploration and Production segment reported operating income before income taxes of $117.0 million, compared to $49.8 million in 1999. These results reflect higher gas and oil wellhead prices
and a 8 percent increase in gas production. The Company's average gas wellhead price increased $.64 to $2.75 per Mcf for the first six months of of 2000 over 1999. Gas production was 82.4 Bcf, up 5.8 Bcf from 1999. The Company's average oil price was
$16.87 per barrel in the first six months of 2000, compared to $10.26 in the prior year period. Oil production of 3.8 million barrels in the first six months of 2000 was down 0.5 million barrels as compared to 1999 levels.

Other Information

2000 Restructuring and Other Merger-Related Costs

Dominion and its subsidiaries developed and began the implementation of a plan to restructure the operations of the combined companies. Restructuring activities include workforce reductions and the consolidation of post-merger
operations and information technology systems. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000, the Company recognized $32.5 million and $205.3 million, respectively, of restructuring and other merger-related costs as discussed below:

Workforce reductions

Under the restructuring plan, approximately 400 employee positions at CNG and its subsidiaries have been identified for elimination. Through June 30, 2000, the Company has recorded $28.1 million in employee severance related costs,
a reduction from amounts originally estimated in the first quarter of 2000. The revision reflects the effects of coordination of benefits under the severance and early retirement programs and lower than expected employee credited service and salaries. At
June 30, 2000, a total of 308 positions had been eliminated, and $7.6 million of severance benefits had been paid.

During the second quarter of 2000, approximately 450 CNG employees elected to participate in the early retirement program, resulting in an expense approximating $61.7 million. This expense was offset, in part, by curtailment gains of
$25.5 million attributable to reductions in expected future years of service as a result of ERP participation and involuntary employee terminations.

Other Restructuring and Merger-Related Costs

In connection with the implementation of Dominion's new enterprise-wide price risk management strategy, CNG designated its portfolio of derivative contracts that existed at January 28, 2000 as held for purposes other than hedging
for accounting purposes and entered into "offsetting" contracts for those contracts in the January 28, 2000 portfolio that would not be settled during the first quarter of 2000. The mark-to-market accounting for these contracts held for purposes other
than hedging resulted in the recognition of losses of $55.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Due to the Company's establishing the offsetting portfolio of derivative contracts,

(Continued)

absent any not yet identified future losses from credit risk exposure, no additional losses are expected to result as these derivative contracts mature through 2003. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for further
discussion.

Other merger related costs charged during the six months ended June 30, 2000 totaled $85.9 million and included settlement of certain employment contracts and payments under seismic licensing agreements due to change of control,
merger-related transaction costs and fees, and accelerated depreciation of information technology systems that will be abandoned on January 1, 2001 and related conversion costs.

CNG is expected to incur additional charges relating to restructuring and other merger-related activities as business operations are consolidated and administrative functions are integrated. The planned workforce reductions and the
accelerated depreciation in 2000 of information technology systems that will be abandoned on January 1, 2001 should avoid future annualized operating costs of approximately $61 million that would have otherwise been incurred.

1999 Restructuring and other merger-related costs

During the second quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a charge of $153.5 million for compensation expenses associated with the cash settlements of vested stock options and other stock awards pursuant to change of control
provisions in the Company's then effective stock incentive plans in connection with the approval by shareholders of the merger with Dominion. In addition, the Company recorded charges for other merger costs, including direct incremental costs (including
fees of financial advisors, legal counsel and other costs). These charges totaled $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of 2000 and 1999 restructuring and other merger-related costs.

Divestitures

CNG is required to spin-off or sell Virginia Natural Gas (VNG) pursuant to conditions set forth by the Virginia State Corporation Commission and Federal Trade Commission in connection with their approval of the acquisition of CNG by
Dominion. On May 8, 2000, Dominion and CNG reached an agreement with AGL Resources Inc (AGL) regarding the sale of VNG. AGL will pay from $500 million to $550 million in cash depending upon the final structure of the sale. The parties expect the sale to
close by December 31, 2000.

CNG International engages in energy-related activities outside of the United States and holds equity investments in Australia and Argentina. Consistent with its strategy to focus on its core business, in the first quarter of 2000,
management committed to a plan of disposal for CNG International. The Company recognized losses related to CNG International for the six months ended June 30, 2000 of $152.3 million ($98.9 million after tax). The Company believes it is probable that, as
part of a sale of its Australian investments, it will be required to make a $100 million equity contribution pursuant to the Equity Contribution Agreement discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements included in the January 27, 2000 Form
8-K filed by CNG. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.

On July 7, 2000, Sempra Energy International, a subsidiary of Sempra Energy, agreed to purchase CNG International's Argentine assets for $145.0 million. CNG expects to close the sale by the end of 2000.

Competition-Customer Choice

Retail natural gas competition is now common place across several of the states where the Company maintains distribution operations. The Company's natural gas customer choice program will be offered throughout Northeast Ohio by
early fall of 2000. Pennsylvania natural gas utility customers are now entering the second year in which they have the opportunity to choose their supplier. Virginia also recently enacted legislation allowing voluntary participation for opening markets
for a statewide natural gas choice program.
