REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Dominion Resources, Inc. and Trustee and Participants
of the Dominion Transmission / Hope Gas Union Savings Plan for Employees Represented by
the United Gas Workers Union, Local 69 - Division II, SEIU, AFL-CIO
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Dominion Transmission and Hope Gas Union Savings Plan for Employees Represented by the United Gas Workers Union, Local 69 - Division II, SEIU, AFL-CIO (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards as established by the Auditing Standards Board (United States) and in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules listed in the Table of Contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following description of the Dominion Transmission and Hope Gas Union Savings Plan for Employees Represented by the United Gas Workers Union, Local 69 - Division II, SEIU, AFL-CIO (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
a. GENERAL -The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering union eligible employees of Dominion Transmission, Inc. and Hope Gas, Inc. (the Employers) who are age 18 or older. Dominion Transmission, Inc. and Hope Gas, Inc. are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Consolidated Natural Gas Company (the Company or CNG). CNG is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dominion Resources, Inc. (Dominion). The Plan administrator is Dominion Resources Services, Inc. (a subsidiary of Dominion). Mellon Bank, N. A. serves as the Trustee of the plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
b. CONTRIBUTIONS - Under the Plan, participants may contribute not less than 2% and not more than 50% of their earnings each pay period, in increments of 1%. Contributions are subject to applicable Internal Revenue Code (IRC) limitations. The Employer contributes amounts equivalent to 50% of each participant's contributions, not to exceed 3% of the participant's eligible earnings, which is used to purchase Dominion common stock. The Employer's matching contribution is increased to 66.7% of each participant's contributions, not to exceed 4% of participant's eligible earnings, for employees who have 20 or more years of service.
c. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS - Each participant's account includes the effect of the participant's contributions and withdrawals, as applicable, and allocations of the Employer's contributions, Plan earnings, and administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's account.
d. PARTICIPANTS - Each employee is eligible to participate in the Plan on an entirely voluntary basis. Participation by an employee becomes effective immediately upon enrollment in the Plan.
e. VESTING - Participants immediately vest in their contributions and earnings thereon. Participants vest in the Employer's matching contribution and related earnings after three years of service. Forfeited balances of terminated participants' non-vested accounts are used to reduce future employer contributions.
Page 6
f. INVESTMENT OPTIONS
Employee Contributions: Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct contributions in any option (except the loan fund) in 1% increments totaling to 100%. Investment options are valued daily. Changes in investment options may be made at any time and become effective with the subsequent pay period. Participants can make unlimited transfers among existing funds.
The Plan provides for employee contributions to be invested in the following:
Dominion Stock Fund
Interest in Master Trust:
Dresdner Large Cap Growth Fund (Dresdner Fund)
Certus Stable Value Fund (Certus Fund)
Common/Collective Trust:
Capital Guardian Balanced - Aggressive Growth
Capital Guardian Balanced - Conservative

Large Cap Value Fund
Wilshire 4500 Index Fund
EB Mellon Total Return Fund
Mellon S&P 500 Index Daily Fund
Mutual Funds:
Real Estate Fund
Small Cap Value Fund
Small Cap Growth Fund
Euro Pacific Growth Fund
Company Contributions: Employer's matching contributions are automatically contributed into the Dominion Stock Fund. However, participants may transfer 100% of the value of the Company Match Account into another investment option at anytime.
g. PARTICIPANT LOANS: Participants are eligible to secure loans against their plan account and repay the amount over a one to five-year period. The minimum loan amount is $1,000 and the maximum loan amount is the lesser of:
Loan transactions are treated as a transfer between the respective investment fund and the loan fund. The loans are interest bearing at one percentage point above the prime rate of interest. The rate is determined every quarter; however, the rate is fixed at the inception of the loan for the life of the loan.
Page 7
Participants make repayments to the Plan on a bi-monthly basis. Defaults result in a reclassification of the remaining loan balances as taxable distributions to the participants.
h. PAYMENTS OF BENEFITS - Distributions from the Plan are recorded on the valuation date when a participant's valid withdrawal request is processed by the recordkeeper. On termination of service, a participant may elect to receive either a lump sum amount equal to the value of the participant's vested interest in his or her account, or defer the payment to a future time no later than the year in which the participant attains age 70 1/2.
i. FLEXIBLE DIVIDEND OPTION - Participants are given the choice of (1) receiving cash dividends paid on vested shares held in their Dominion Stock Fund or (2) reinvesting the dividends in the fund.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
b. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS:
(1) Dominion Stock Fund - Investments in Dominion Common Stock are stated at fair value based on the closing sales price reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the last business day of the plan year.
(2) Investment in Certus Fund - The Certus Fund invests primarily in guaranteed investment contracts, which are valued at contract value. Contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less Plan withdrawals and administrative expenses.
(3) Investment in Dresdner Fund - Investments in the Dresdner Fund are stated at fair value based on the closing sales price reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the last business day of the plan year.
(4) Mutual Funds - Investments in mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset values of shares held by the Plan at year-end.
(5) Common/Collective Trusts - Investments in common/collective trust funds (funds) are stated at estimated fair values, which have been determined based on the unit values of the funds. Unit values are determined by the bank (or trust company) sponsoring such funds by dividing the fund's net assets by its units outstanding at the valuation dates.
c. INVESTMENT INCOME - Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date.
Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are determined using the average cost method.
Net investment income from mutual fund holdings includes dividend income and realized and unrealized appreciation/depreciation.
Page 8
d. EXPENSES - The Plan's expenses are accrued as incurred and paid by the Plan, as provided by the Plan document.
e. USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits, and changes therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
f. CONCENTRATION OF INVESTMENTS - Included in the Plan's net assets available for benefits at December 31, 2003 and 2002, are investments in Dominion Common Stock amounting to approximately $80 million and $93 million, respectively, whose value could be subject to change based upon market conditions.
