a. GENERAL - The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering union eligible employees of Dominion Transmission, Inc. and Hope Gas, Inc. (the Employers). 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 is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Participant and employer contributions are made pursuant to the terms of the plan and are held in funds administered by individual trustees (the Trustees) under two declarations of trust, i.e., the Long-Term Thrift Trust and the Short-Term Thrift Trust (the Trusts).

The Trusts are maintained in accordance with the Plan's provision to provide for the custody and investment of participant and employer contributions. The Trustees are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Company for a term of three years. The Trustees are employed by and are officers of various subsidiaries of the Company and serve without compensation from the Plan or Trusts. Custody of Plan assets resides with Mellon Bank, N.A. who also serves as the Plan's Trustee.

b. CONTRIBUTIONS - Under the Plan, participants may contribute not less than 2% and not more than 16% (15% for participants with thirty or more years of service) of their earnings each pay period, in increments of 1%. If the participant elects that his employer make pretax contributions on his behalf, such contributions cannot exceed 10%, in increments of 1%, of his earnings each pay period subject to applicable Internal Revenue Code (IRC) limitations. The Employer's matching contribution is based upon the participant's contribution rate and length 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.

Retired participants may elect to receive an amount equal to their vested Long-Term Thrift Trust account balance either in a lump sum or in installments. For terminations other than retirements, participants can only receive their vested Long-Term Thrift Trust account balance as a lump sum distribution. Upon termination and retirement, participants can only receive their Short-Term Thrift Trust account balance as a lump sum distribution.

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 based upon years of continuous service and are fully vested after five years of credited service. Forfeited balances of terminated participants' non-vested accounts are used to reduce future employer contributions.

f. INVESTMENT OPTIONS - 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.

Employer contributions are automatically invested in the same funds specified by the individual participant. The Plan currently offers a money market fund option within the Short-Term Thrift Trust (Interest in Master Trust). The Long-Term Thrift Trust has the following investment options:

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 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 bear fixed interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates at the time the loan is issued as determined by the Trustees.

Participants make repayments to the Plan on a monthly basis. Loan repayments, including interest, are deposited in the participant's account and invested in accordance with the participant's then current investment elections. 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.

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:

c. INVESTMENT INCOME - Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Dividends received on all shares of Dominion stock are reinvested in additional shares of Dominion common stock.

Diversified Equity Fund units of the Long-Term Thrift Trust are prorated to participants based on the unit value calculated at the end of each day.

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.

d. EXPENSES - The Plan's expenses are accrued as incurred and paid by the Plan or the Company, 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 June 30, 2002 and 2001, are investments in Dominion common stock amounting to approximately $102 million and $97 million, respectively, whose value could be subject to change based upon market conditions.
