Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.

(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired.

    The audited financial statements of the business acquired, Consolidated
    Natural Gas Company (CNG), for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999,
    together with the report of independent auditors, were incorporated by
    reference in the Dominion Resources Inc. (Dominion or DRI) Form 8-K,
    File No. 1-8489 filed February 1, 2000. The financial statements were
    incorporated from CNG's Form 8-K, File No. 1-3196, filed January 27,
    2000.

(b) Pro forma financial information.

    The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Consolidated Financial Statements of
    Dominion and CNG (the "Pro Forma Financial Statements"), which are Exhibits
    to this filing, illustrate the pro forma effect of the merger between
    Dominion and CNG (the "Merger") accounted for as a purchase business
    combination. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Consolidated Balance Sheet has
    been prepared as if such transactions occurred on December 31, 1999; the
    Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income from
    continuing operations has been prepared as if such transactions occurred as
    of January 1, 1999. The Pro Forma Financial Statements reflect Dominion
    having acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of CNG in exchange for
    87.4 million shares of Dominion common stock, valued at $3.5 billion, and
    cash of $2.8 billion.

    A final determination of required purchase accounting adjustments has not
    been completed; accordingly, the purchase accounting adjustments made in
    connection with the development of the Pro Forma Financial Statements are
    preliminary and have been made solely for purposes of developing the pro
    forma combined financial information. The significant adjustments to the pro
    forma financial position reflect (i) the debt incurred to finance the
    transaction, (ii) the excess fair value of the pension plan assets over
    CNG's pension obligations recorded as part of the purchase price allocation,
    and (iii) the common stock issued and repurchased to consummate the Merger.

    Management believes that the pro forma adjustments and the underlying
    assumptions reasonably present the significant pro forma effects of the
    Merger. Upon completion of post-merger restructuring activities, the actual
    financial position and results of operations of the combined entity will
    differ, perhaps significantly, from the pro forma amounts reflected herein
    because of changes in operating results between the dates of the pro forma
    financial information and the date on which the purchase accounting
    adjustments are finalized. The Pro Forma Financial Statements are not
    necessarily indicative of actual operating results or financial position had
    the transactions occurred as of the dates indicated above, nor do they
    purport to indicate operating results or financial position which may be
    attained in the future.

    The pro forma adjustments do not reflect any potential operating
    efficiencies or cost savings which Dominion believes are achievable with
    respect to the combined companies.

(c) Exhibits

99  Dominion and its subsidiary companies unaudited pro forma combined
    consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year end
    December 31, 1999 (filed herewith).

  Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Consolidated Financial Statements

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Consolidated Financial Statements do not
reflect the non-recurring costs associated with integrating the operations of
the two companies, nor any of the anticipated recurring savings arising from the
integration. Costs of integration will result in significant non-recurring
charges to the combined results of operations in 2000 as a result of the
consummation of the Merger; however, the actual amount of such charges cannot be
determined until the transition plan relating to the integration of operations
is completed.

Merger Financing

A.   To reflect the issuance of $3.3 billion, (6.05 percent) commercial paper of
     Dominion and $1 billion, (6.19 percent) privately placed money market notes
     prior to the Merger. The fees associated with this debt will be
     approximately $7 million and the annual interest expense will be
     approximately $259 million. Dominion anticipates refinancing these amounts
     with long-term debt, preferred, and/or convertible securities along with
     the proceeds from the divestiture (see note P) of other non-core assets.

Exchange of Shares and Cash

B.   To reflect the issuance of 87.4 million shares of Dominion common stock
     valued at $3.5 billion and the cash distribution of $2.9 billion in
     exchange for the outstanding shares of CNG at closing.

Stock Repurchases

C.   To reflect the repurchase of 32.9 million shares of Dominion common stock
     for $1.4 billion which was the first step in the Merger treated as a
     reorganization.

Purchase Adjustments

D.   To reflect the excess of plan assets of $1.1 billion over projected benefit
     obligations related to CNG's pension plans. The Income Statement also
     reflects the impact ($21 million increase in expense) resulting from the
     recognition of prepaid pension cost.

E.   To reflect the excess of the projected benefit obligation of $84 million
     over plan assets related to CNG's other postretirement benefit plans and
     corresponding regulatory assets of $80 million. The Income Statement also
     reflects the impact ( $10 million decrease in expenses) resulting from the
     recognition of the excess of the other postretirement benefit obligation
     over the fair value of plan assets.

F.   To reflect a reduction in value of CNG's non-regulated oil and gas
     exploration and production properties based on current market valuation
     ($129 million).

G.   To reflect the deferred income taxes of $350 million related to the
     purchase price allocated to CNG's assets and liabilities. The estimated
     provision for income taxes related to the pro forma adjustments are based
     on an assumed combined federal and state income tax rate of 38 percent.

H.   To record direct costs of the Merger (including fees of financial advisors,
     legal counsel and independent auditors) estimated to be $70 million,
     consisting of $45 million associated with contractual termination benefits
     and $25 million relating to deferred merger costs.

I.   To reflect the fair value of CNG's long-term debt associated with its
     exploration and production properties which results in a $20 million
     reduction in its carrying value as of January 28, 2000 (or the closing).
     Annual amortization of this purchase accounting debt discount would be
     approximately $2 million.

  Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Continued)

J.   To reflect liabilities of $26 million associated with seismic relicensing
     fees for oil and gas exploration and production. Also reflects a liability
     of $73 million for the fair value of financial contracts entered into by
     CNG to mitigate exposure to volatility in oil and gas prices.

K.   To reflect an increase of approximately $8 million in bad debt reserves due
     to a change in collections policy and related reserve policy.

L.   To eliminate Dominion's investment in CNG of  $6.4 billion (see note B)
     against CNG's common shareholders' equity  of $2.4 billion and  record  the
     gross acquisition adjustment of $4 billion.

     defined in the CNG stock incentive plans. Accordingly, the vesting of stock
     options and certain other stock awards was accelerated pursuant to the
     provisions of the plans and/or award agreements. Also, the change of
     control effectively granted limited stock appreciation rights to holders of
     vested stock options and certain other stock awards. Specifically, the plan
     and/or award agreements permitted the holder to elect, during the period
     from July 1, 1999 through August 29, 1999, to receive a cash payment in
     exchange for surrendering vested stock options and awards. This provision
     covered outstanding vested stock options granted since 1989 to
     approximately 700 employees. The amount to be paid to the holders was based
     on the value determined under 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, CNG recognized a charge to Other
     Income and Expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 of $153.5 million.

     During 1999, CNG also recorded charges to Other Income and Expenses for
     other direct incremental merger costs, including fees of financial
     advisors, legal counsel , costs related to certain executive employment
     agreements and other costs. These charges totaled $59.2 million for the
     twelve months ended December 31, 1999.

     The $212.7 million of nonrecurring charges and the related $67 million tax
     benefit recognized by CNG during 1999 have been excluded from the Pro Forma
     Combined Consolidated Income Statement.



Change in Accounting Method

O.   Since Dominion's entry into the oil and gas exploration and production
     business in 1987, Dominion's activities have been directed primarily to
     low-risk drilling and acquisitions of producing reserves. With the nature
     of these activities and the minimal amounts spent on exploration
     activities, Dominion followed the successful efforts method of accounting.

     Based on the nature and size of CNG's oil and gas exploration and
     production activities, management intends to follow the full cost method
     of accounting for its oil and gas exploration and production activities.

     The following reflects the effect of adoption of the full cost method of
     accounting on the Pro Forma Financial Statements:

Disposition of Assets

P.   As part of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Order under the
     PUHCA of 1935 approving the Merger, Dominion must divest itself of Dominion
     Capital, its financial services subsidiary. Although a formal plan for
     diverstiture has not been adopted, the SEC allowed three years for this to
     be accomplished. During the Merger approval process, Dominion and CNG also
     agreed to divest Virginia Natural Gas, Inc. (VNG), CNG's local gas
     distribution subsidiary located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Dominion has
     one year after the Merger is completed (January 28, 2000) to sell VNG to a
     third party. If the sale of VNG is not completed within one year, VNG will
     be spun off as an independent company with the common stock distributed to
     Dominion shareholders. Both deadlines are subject to reasonable extensions,
     which may be granted by regulatory authorities.

     During 1999, Dominion Energy, a subsidiary of Dominion, agreed to the sale
     of its Latin American interests to Duke Energy. As a result of the change
     in Dominion's foreign investment strategy, CNG has begun accepting bids for
     the sale of its foreign assets.

     The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements do not
     reflect any adjustments for the above stated anticipated  divestitures.
