REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Audit Committee and Organization, Compensation, and Nominating Committee of the
Board of Directors of Dominion Resources, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Dominion Salaried Savings Plan (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. The 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 STATEMENT                                                                                                                      

1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The following description of the Dominion Salaried Savings Plan (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 all salaried employees of the Participating Companies (see Note 1d) who are age 18 or older. Dominion Resources, Inc. (Dominion) is the designated Plan sponsor. 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 - A maximum of 50% of the participant's eligible earnings and 35% of highly compensated employee's eligible earnings can be invested in the Plan. Of the 35%, up to 15% can be invested on a tax-deferred basis for highly compensated employees. Participating Companies contribute a matching amount 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. For employees who have 20 or more years of service with Dominion or its subsidiaries, the Participating Companies' matching contribution is 66.7% of each participant's contributions, not to exceed 4% of participant's eligible earnings. Contributions are subject to certain Internal Revenue Code limitations.

c. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS - Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan participant. Each participant's account includes the effect of the participant's contributions and withdrawals, as applicable, and allocations of the Participating Companies' 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 - Any subsidiary of Dominion may adopt the Plan for the benefit of its qualified salaried employees subject to approval of the Dominion Board of Directors.

e. VESTING - Participants become vested in their own contributions and the earnings on these amounts immediately, and in the Participating Companies' matching contributions and earnings after three years of service. Forfeited balances of terminated participants' non-vested accounts are used to reduce future Participating Companies' contributions.

f.   INVESTMENT OPTIONS

Employee Contributions: Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee contributions in any option (except the loan fund) in 1% increments totaling to 100%. 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.

Page 6

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

Capital Guardian Balanced - Moderate

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: Participating Companies matching contributions are automatically contributed into the Dominion Stock Fund. However, participants may transfer 100% of the value of their Company Match Account into another investment option at any time.

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.

Participants make repayments to the Plan on a bi-monthly basis. Any defaults in loans result in a reclassification of the remaining loan balances as taxable distributions to the participants.

Page 7

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. There were no amounts payable to participants at December 31, 2003 and 2002.

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 - The investments of the fund are stated at fair value based on the closing sales prices reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the last business day of the Plan year.

(2) 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.

(3) Common/Collective Trusts - Investments in common/collective trust 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 sponsoring such funds by dividing the fund's net assets by its units outstanding at the valuation dates.

(4) 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.

(5) 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.

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 $498 million and $449 million, respectively, whose value could be subject to change based upon market conditions.

7. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan is a qualified employees' profit sharing trust and employee stock ownership plan under Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 404(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and, as such, is exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(a). Pursuant to Section 402(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, a participant is not taxed on the income and pretax contributions allocated to the participant's account until such time as the participant or the participant's beneficiaries receive distributions from the Plan.

The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on December 5, 2002, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, Dominion believes that the Plan is currently designed and operating in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

8. CHANGE OF PLAN YEAR

Effective December 31, 2002, the plan was changed to a calendar year plan.
