INTRODUCTION

     FILING FORMAT

     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is a combined report being filed by two separate registrants: WGL Holdings, Inc. (WGL Holdings) and Washington Gas Light Company (Washington Gas). Except where the content clearly indicates otherwise, any reference in the report to “WGL Holdings,” “we,” “us” or “our” is to the holding company or the consolidated entity of WGL Holdings and all of its subsidiaries, including Washington Gas which is a distinct registrant that is a wholly owned subsidiary of WGL Holdings.

     Part I — Financial information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes separate financial statements (i.e. balance sheets, statements of income and statements of cash flows) for WGL Holdings and Washington Gas. The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are also included and are presented on a combined basis for both WGL Holdings and Washington Gas. TheManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(Management’s Discussion) included under Item 2 is divided into two major sections for WGL Holdings and Washington Gas.

     SAFE HARBOR FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     Certain matters discussed in this report, excluding historical information, include forward-looking statements within the meaning of thePrivate Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995with respect to the outlook for earnings, revenues and other future financial business performance or strategies and expectations. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as, but not limited to, “estimates,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes,” “plans” and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would” and “could.” Although the registrants, WGL Holdings and Washington Gas, believe such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, they cannot give assurance that every objective will be achieved. Forward-looking statements speak only as of today, and the registrants assume no duty to update them. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance:

• the level and rate at which costs and expenses are incurred and the extent to which they are allowed to be recovered from customers through the regulatory process in connection with constructing, operating and maintaining Washington Gas’ natural gas distribution system;

• the ability to implement successful approaches to modify the current or future composition of gas delivered to customers or to remediate the effects of the current or future composition of gas delivered to customers, as a result of the introduction of gas from the Dominion Cove Point or the Southern LNG, Inc. Elba Island facility to Washington Gas’ natural gas distribution system;

• the availability of natural gas supply and interstate pipeline transportation and storage capacity;

• the ability of natural gas producers, pipeline gatherers and natural gas processors to deliver natural gas into interstate pipelines for delivery by those interstate pipelines to the entrance points of Washington Gas’ natural gas distribution system as a result of factors beyond our control;

• changes and developments in economic, competitive, political and regulatory conditions and developments;

• changes in capital and energy commodity market conditions;

• changes in credit ratings of debt securities of WGL Holdings or Washington Gas that may affect access to capital or the cost of debt;

• changes in credit market conditions and creditworthiness of customers and suppliers;

• changes in relevant laws and regulations, including tax, environmental and employment laws and regulations;

ii

WGL Holdings, Inc.
Washington Gas Light Company

• legislative, regulatory and judicial mandates or decisions affecting business operations or the timing of recovery of costs and expenses;

• the timing and success of business and product development efforts and technological improvements;

• the pace of deregulation efforts and the availability of other competitive alternatives to our products and services;

• changes in accounting principles;

• new commodity purchase and sales contracts or financial contracts and modifications in the terms of existing contracts that may materially affect fair value calculations under derivative accounting requirements;

• the ability to manage the outsourcing of several business processes;

• acts of nature;

• terrorist activities and

• other uncertainties.

     The outcome of negotiations and discussions that the registrants may hold with other parties from time to time regarding utility and energy-related investments and strategic transactions that are both recurring and non-recurring may also affect future performance. All such factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond the direct control of the registrants. Accordingly, while they believe that the assumptions are reasonable, the registrants cannot ensure that all expectations and objectives will be realized. Readers are urged to use care and consider the risks, uncertainties and other factors that could affect the registrants’ business as described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All forward-looking statements made in this report rely upon the safe harbor protections provided under thePrivate Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Basis of Presentation

     WGL Holdings, Inc. (WGL Holdings) is a holding company that owns all of the shares of common stock of Washington Gas Light Company (Washington Gas), a regulated natural gas utility, and all of the shares of common stock of Washington Gas Resources Corporation (Washington Gas Resources), Hampshire Gas Company (Hampshire) and Crab Run Gas Company. Washington Gas Resources owns all of the shares of common stock of four non-utility subsidiaries that include Washington Gas Energy Services, Inc. (WGEServices), Washington Gas Energy Systems, Inc. (WGESystems), Capitol Energy Ventures Corp. (CEV) and WGSW, Inc. Except where the content clearly indicates otherwise, “WGL Holdings,” “we,” “us” or “our” refers to the holding company or the consolidated entity of WGL Holdings and all of its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise noted, these notes apply equally to WGL Holdings and Washington Gas.

     The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Therefore, certain financial information and note disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) are omitted in this interim report. The interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for WGL Holdings and Washington Gas for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. Due to the seasonal nature of Washington Gas’ and WGEServices’ businesses, the results of operations for the periods presented in this report are not necessarily indicative of actual results for the full fiscal years ending September 30, 2011 and 2010 of either WGL Holdings or Washington Gas.

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for WGL Holdings and Washington Gas reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary, in our opinion, to present fairly the results of operations in accordance with GAAP.

     For a complete description of our accounting policies, refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for WGL Holdings and Washington Gas for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.

     Accounting Standards Adopted in the Current Period

     Receivables.In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-20,Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses(ASU 2010-20). ASU 2010-20 requires companies to provide more information in their disclosures about the credit quality of their financing receivables such as aging information and credit quality indicators, and the credit reserves held against them. Both new and existing disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment or class. The disaggregation of information is based on how a company develops its allowance for credit losses and how it manages its credit exposure. ASU 2010-20 was effective for us on January 1, 2011. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

     Newly Issued Accounting Standards

     Fair Value.In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS(ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820 to include a consistent definition of the term “fair value” and set forth common requirements for measuring fair value and disclosing information about fair value measurements in financial statements. ASU 2011-04 will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2012. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 1—Financial Statements (continued)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

     In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06,Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements(ASU 2010-06). ASU 2010-06 amends ASC Topic 820 to require the following additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements:(i)the amounts of transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy;(ii)reasons for any transfers in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and(iii)the inclusion of information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements. ASU 2010-06 also amends ASC Topic 820 to clarify existing disclosure requirements, requiring fair value disclosures by class of assets and liabilities rather than by major category and the disclosure of valuation techniques and inputs used to determine the fair value of Level 2 and Level 3 assets and liabilities. The adoption of this standard affected and will affect disclosures only. With the exception of disclosures relating to purchases, sales issuances and settlements of recurring Level 3 measurements, ASU 2010-06 was effective for us on January 1, 2010. The adoption of these requirements did not have a material impact on our financial statements. Refer to Note 10 —Fair Value Measurementsfor the required disclosure under this standard. The disclosure requirements related to purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of recurring Level 3 measurements will be effective for us beginning October 1, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of the remaining requirements of this standard to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

     Other.In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05,Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income(ASU 2011-05). ASU 2011-05 is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring companies to present items of net income in either one continuous statement, or in two separate but consecutive statements of net income and other comprehensive net income. The new guidance removes the current presentation options in ASC Topic 220. The requirements of ASU 2011-05 do not change which components of comprehensive income are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income, nor does the update change the computation of earnings per share (EPS). ASU 2011-05 will be effective for us on October 1, 2012. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 3. SHORT-TERM DEBT

     WGL Holdings and Washington Gas satisfy their short-term financing requirements through the sale of commercial paper or through bank borrowings. Due to the seasonal nature of the regulated utility and retail energy-marketing segments, short-term financing requirements can vary significantly during the year. We maintain revolving credit agreements to support our outstanding commercial paper and to permit short-term borrowing flexibility. Our policy is to maintain bank credit facilities in an amount equal to or greater than our expected maximum commercial paper position. The following is a summary of our committed credit available at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010.

Net committed credit available	$	343.0		$	256.6		$	599.6

^(a)Both WGL Holdings and Washington Gas have the right to request extensions with the banks’ approval. WGL Holdings’ revolving credit facility permits it to borrow an additional $50 million, with the banks’ approval, for a total of $450 million. Washington Gas’ revolving credit facility permits it to borrow an additional $100 million, with the banks’ approval, for a total of $400 million.

     At June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, WGL Holdings and its subsidiaries had outstanding notes payable in the form of commercial paper supported by revolving credit facilities of $13.0 million and $100.4 million, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of 0.20% and 0.31%, respectively. As of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, there were no outstanding bank loans from WGL Holdings’ or Washington Gas’ revolving credit facilities.

NOTE 4. LONG-TERM DEBT

     UNSECURED NOTES

     Washington Gas issues unsecured Medium-Term Notes (MTNs) and private placement notes with individual terms regarding interest rates, maturities and call or put options. These notes can have maturity dates of one or more years from the date of issuance.

     On December 3, 2010, Washington Gas issued $75.0 million of 5.21% fixed MTNs with a thirty year maturity due December 3, 2040. The estimated effective cost of the notes, including consideration of issuance fees and hedge costs, is 5.96%.

     At June 30, 2011, Washington Gas had the capacity, under a shelf registration to issue up to $375.0 million of additional MTNs. At June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, outstanding MTNs and private placement notes were $660.0 million and $615.0 million, respectively. At June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, the weighted average interest rate on all MTNs and private placement notes was 5.91% and 6.04%, respectively.

NOTE 7. EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common shares pursuant to stock-based compensation plans at the beginning of the applicable period unless the effect of such issuance would be anti-dilutive and the issuance of common shares pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan. The following table reflects the computation of our basic and diluted EPS for WGL Holdings for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

     There were no anti-dilutive shares for the three or nine months ended June 30, 2011 or 2010.

NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES

     As of June 30, 2011, our uncertain tax positions were approximately $27.0 million primarily due to our change in tax accounting for repair deductions taken on our tax return filed in June of 2010. If the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits are eventually realized, it would not materially impact the effective tax rate. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefit with respect to Washington Gas’ uncertain tax positions will significantly increase or decrease in the next 12 months due to the on-going audit of Washington Gas by the IRS with respect to the tax year related to its change in accounting method for repairs. At this time an estimate of the range of reasonably possible outcomes cannot be determined.

     Under the provision of ASC Topic 740,Income Taxes, Washington Gas recognizes any accrued interest associated with uncertain tax positions in interest expense and recognizes any accrued penalties associated with uncertain tax positions in other expenses in the statements of income. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, we accrued an additional $166,000 and $567,000, respectively, in expense for interest on uncertain tax positions. We had $210,000 of interest related to uncertain tax positions accrued as of September 30, 2010.

NOTE 9. DERIVATIVE AND WEATHER-RELATED INSTRUMENTS

     DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

     Regulated Utility Operations

     Washington Gas enters into contracts related to the sale and purchase of natural gas that qualify as derivative instruments and are accounted for under ASC Topic 815. These derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on our balance sheet and Washington Gas does not designate any derivatives as hedges under ASC Topic 815. Washington Gas’ derivative contracts relate to:(i) Washington Gas’ asset optimization program,(ii)managing price risk associated with the purchase of gas to serve utility customers and(iii)managing interest rate risk.

     Asset Optimization.Washington Gas optimizes the value of its long-term natural gas transportation and storage capacity resources during periods when these resources are not being used to physically serve utility customers. Specifically, Washington Gas utilizes its transportation capacity assets to benefit from favorable natural gas prices between different geographic locations and its storage capacity assets to benefit from favorable natural gas prices between different time periods. As part of this asset optimization program, Washington Gas enters into physical and financial derivative transactions in the form of forward, swap and option contracts to lock-in operating margins that Washington Gas will ultimately realize. The derivatives used under this program are subject to mark-to-market accounting treatment.

     Regulatory sharing mechanisms in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia jurisdictions allow the profit from these transactions to be shared between Washington Gas’ shareholders and customers; therefore, any changes in fair value are recorded through earnings, or as regulatory assets or liabilities to the extent that gains and losses associated with these derivative instruments will be included in the rates charged to customers when they are realized. Valuation changes for the portion of net profits to be retained for shareholders may cause significant period-to-period volatility in earnings from unrealized gains and losses. This volatility does not change the locked-in operating margins that Washington Gas will ultimately realize from these transactions.

     All physically and financially settled contracts under our asset optimization program are reported on a net basis in the statements of income in “Utility cost of gas”. Total net margins recorded to “Utility cost of gas” after sharing and management fees associated with all asset optimization transactions for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were gains of $3.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively, including unrealized gains of $4.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Total net margins for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were gains of $5.0 million and $22.9 million, respectively, including unrealized losses of $9.6 million and unrealized gains of $13.5 million, respectively.

     Managing Price Risk.To manage price risk associated with acquiring natural gas supply for utility customers, Washington Gas enters into forward contracts, option contracts, financial swap contracts and other contracts, as authorized by its regulators. These instruments are accounted for as derivative instruments. Any gains and losses associated with these derivatives are recorded as regulatory liabilities or assets, respectively, to reflect the rate treatment for these economic hedging activities.

     Managing Interest-Rate Risk.Washington Gas utilizes derivative instruments from time to time in order to minimize the risk of interest-rate volatility associated with planned issuances of debt securities. Any gains and losses associated with these types of derivatives are recorded as regulatory liabilities or assets, respectively, and amortized in accordance with regulatory requirements, which is typically over the life of the newly issued debt.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

     Non-Utility Operations

     WGEServices enters into certain derivative contracts as part of managing the price risk associated with the sale and purchase of natural gas and electricity to its retail customers. CEV enters into derivative contracts for the purpose of optimizing its storage and transportation capacity as well as managing the transportation and storage assets on behalf of third parties. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets. Neither WGEServices nor CEV designate these derivatives as hedges under ASC Topic 815; therefore, changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments are reflected in the earnings of our non-utility operations. These derivatives may cause significant period-to-period volatility in earnings; however, this volatility will not change the operating margins that WGEServices and CEV will ultimately realize from the sales to their customers or counterparties.

     Consolidated Operations

     Reflected in the tables below is information for WGL Holdings as well as Washington Gas. The information for WGL Holdings includes derivative instruments for both utility and non-utility operations.

     At June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively, the absolute notional amounts of our derivatives are as follows:

Collateral

     In accordance with ASC 815, WGL Holdings offsets the fair value of derivative instruments against the right to reclaim or obligation to return collateral for derivative instruments executed under the same master netting arrangement. At June 30, 2011, Washington Gas, WGEServices and CEV had $26.5 million, $11.4 million and $16.7 million, respectively, of collateral on deposit at counterparties that was not offset against open and settled derivative contracts. In addition, at June 30, 2011, Washington Gas recognized $7.7 million that represents an obligation to return cash collateral that was not offset against open and settled derivative contracts. At September 30, 2010, WGEServices had $36.0 million of collateral on deposit at counterparties that was not offset against open and settled derivative contracts. All of the collateral deposited by Washington Gas and CEV was offset against open and settled derivative contracts at September 30, 2010. Any collateral posted that is not offset against open and settled derivative contracts is included in “Other prepayments” in the accompanying balance sheet. Collateral received and not offset against open and settled derivative contracts is included in “Customer deposits and advance payments” in the accompanying balance sheet.

     Certain of Washington Gas’ derivative instruments contain contract provisions that would require collateral to be posted if the credit rating of Washington Gas’ debt falls below certain levels. Similarly, certain of WGEServices and CEV derivative instruments contain contract provisions that require collateral to be posted if the credit rating of WGL Holdings falls below certain levels or if counterparties exposure to WGEServices and CEV exceeds a certain level. Due to counterparty exposure levels, at June 30, 2011, WGEServices had posted $0.1 million of collateral related to its derivative liabilities that contained credit-related contingent features. Washington Gas and CEV were not required to post any collateral at June 30, 2011 for derivative instruments with credit related contingent features. The following table shows the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-related contingent features that are in a liability position, as well as the maximum amount of collateral that would be required to be posted related to the net fair value of our derivative instruments if the most intrusive credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements were triggered on June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.

     Neither Washington Gas, WGEServices nor CEV enters into derivative contracts for speculative purposes.

     Concentration of Credit Risk

     Washington Gas, WGEServices and CEV are exposed to credit risk associated with agreements with wholesale counterparties that are accounted for as derivative instruments. We have credit policies in place that are designed to mitigate credit risk associated with wholesale counterparties through a requirement for credit enhancements including, but not limited to, letters of credit, parent guarantees and cash collateral when deemed necessary. For certain counterparties or their guarantors that meet this policy’s credit worthiness criteria, Washington Gas, WGEServices and CEV grant unsecured credit which is continuously monitored. Additionally, our agreements with wholesale counterparties contain netting provisions which allow the receivable exposure to be offset by outstanding payables for each counterparty. At June 30, 2011, two counterparties each represented over 10% of Washington Gas’ credit exposure to wholesale derivative counterparties for a total credit risk of $10.9 million; Non-Utility Operations had four counterparties, each representing over 10% of their combined credit exposure to wholesale counterparties for a total credit risk of $3.1 million.

     WEATHER-RELATED INSTRUMENTS

     Regulated Utility Operations

     On September 24, 2010, Washington Gas executed heating degree day (HDD) weather derivatives to manage its financial exposure to variations from normal weather in the District of Columbia for fiscal year 2011. Washington Gas purchased protection against net revenue shortfalls due to warmer-than-normal weather and sold colder weather benefits. Washington Gas elected to value all weather derivatives at fair value.

     Gains and losses associated with Washington Gas’ weather-related instruments are recorded to “Operation and maintenance” expense. During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, Washington Gas recorded a pre-tax gain of $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, Washington Gas recorded a pre-tax loss of $2.1 million and a pre-tax gain of $1.3 million, respectively.

     Non-Utility Operations

     WGEServices utilizes weather-related derivatives for managing the financial effects of weather risks. These derivatives cover a portion of WGEServices’ estimated revenue or energy-related cost exposure to variations in heating or cooling degree days. These contracts provide for payment to WGEServices of a fixed-dollar amount for every degree day over or under specific levels during the calculation period depending upon the type of contract executed. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, WGEServices recorded pre-tax losses of $1.7 million and $5.9 million, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010, WGEServices recorded pre-tax losses of $1.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively, related to these derivatives.

NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

     We measure the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 820. These financial assets and liabilities primarily consist of(i)derivatives recorded on our balance sheet under ASC Topic 815,(ii)weather derivatives for which we receive a net option premium payment or elect the fair value option and(iii)long-term debt outstanding that is required to be disclosed at fair value. Under ASC Topic 820, fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To value our financial instruments, we use market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about credit risk (both our own credit risk and the counterparty’s credit risk) and the risks inherent in the inputs to our valuation technique, the income approach.

     We enter into derivative contracts in the over-the-counter (OTC) wholesale and retail markets. These markets are the principal markets for the respective wholesale and retail contracts. We have determined that all of our existing counterparties and others who have participated in energy transactions at our delivery points are the relevant market participants. These participants have access to the same market data as WGL Holdings. We value our derivative contracts based on an “in-exchange” premise and valuations are generally based on pricing service data or indicative broker quotes depending on the market location. We measure the net credit exposure at a counterparty level where the right to set-off exists. The net exposure is determined using the mark-to-market exposure adjusted for collateral, letters of credit and parent guarantees. We use published default rates from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors Service as inputs for the determination of credit adjustments.

     ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described below:

     Level 1.Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy consists of assets or liabilities that are valued using observable inputs based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the reporting date. Level 1 assets and liabilities primarily include exchange traded derivatives and securities. At June 30, 2011, we do not have any financial assets or liabilities in this category.

     Level 2.Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy consists of assets or liabilities that are valued using directly or indirectly observable inputs that are corroborated with market data or based on exchange traded market data. Level 2 includes fair values based on industry-standard valuation techniques that consider various assumptions including:(i)quoted forward prices, including the use of mid-market pricing within a bid/ask spread;(ii)discount rates;(iii) implied volatility and(iv)other economic factors. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the relevant market. At June 30, 2011, Level 2 financial assets and liabilities included non-exchange traded energy-related derivatives such as financial swaps and options and physical forward contracts for deliveries at active market locations, as well as Washington Gas’ weather derivatives.

Item 1—Financial Statements (continued)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

     Level 3.Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy consists of assets or liabilities that are valued using significant unobservable inputs at the reporting date. These unobservable assumptions reflect our assumptions about estimates that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including historical volatility and pricing data when delivery is to inactive market locations. These inputs may be used with industry standard valuation methodologies that result in our best estimate of fair value for the assets or liabilities at the reporting date. At June 30, 2011, derivative assets and liabilities in this category included:(i)physical contracts valued with significant basis adjustments to observable market data when delivery is to inactive market locations;(ii)long-dated positions where observable pricing is not available over the life of the contract;(iii)contracts valued using historical volatility assumptions and(iv)valuations using indicative broker quotes for inactive market locations.

     The following tables set forth financial instruments recorded at fair value as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

     Transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy may occur based on the level of observable inputs used to value the instruments from period to period. It is our policy to show both transfers into and out of the different levels of the fair value hierarchy at the fair value as of the beginning of the reporting period. For WGL Holdings, during both the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2011, $3.1 million of net derivative liabilities and $3.6 million of net derivative assets were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, respectively. These transfers reflected an increase in observable market inputs used to value natural gas related derivatives for Washington Gas and CEV, as well as Washington Gas’ weather derivatives.

     The tables below set forth the line items on the Statements of Income of the amounts recorded to income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, and 2010 related to fair value measurements using significant Level 3 inputs.

     The following table presents the carrying amount and estimated fair value of our long-term debt at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The carrying amount of any other financial instruments in current assets and current liabilities approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments, and therefore are not shown in the table below.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

	June 30, 2011

Long-term debt(a)	$	587.3	$	663.7

	Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Long-term debt(a)	$	592.9	$	716.5

^(a) Excludes current maturities and unamortized discounts.

     Washington Gas’ long-term debt is not actively traded. The fair value of long-term debt was estimated based on the quoted market prices of U.S. Treasury issues having a similar term to maturity, adjusted for Washington Gas’ credit quality.

NOTE 11. OPERATING SEGMENT REPORTING

     We identify and report on operating segments under the “management approach.” Our chief operating decision maker is our President and Chief Operating Officer. Operating segments comprise revenue-generating components of an enterprise for which we produce separate financial information internally that we regularly use to make operating decisions and assess performance. We report three operating segments:(i)regulated utility,(ii)retail energy-marketing and(iii) design-build energy systems.

     With approximately 90% of WGL Holdings’ consolidated total assets, the regulated utility segment is our core business and comprises Washington Gas and Hampshire. The regulated utility segment, through Washington Gas, provides regulated gas distribution services (including the sale and delivery of natural gas, meter reading, responding to customer inquiries, bill preparation and the construction and maintenance of its natural gas distribution system) to customers primarily in the District of Columbia and the surrounding metropolitan areas in Maryland and Virginia. Hampshire, an underground natural gas storage company that is regulated under a cost of service tariff by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), provides services exclusively to Washington Gas.

     Through WGEServices, the retail energy-marketing segment sells natural gas and electricity directly to retail customers, both inside and outside of Washington Gas’ traditional service territory, in competition with regulated utilities and unregulated gas and electricity marketers. Through WGESystems, the design-build energy systems segment provides design-build energy efficient and sustainable solutions to government and commercial clients under construction contracts.

     Activities and transactions that are not significant enough on a stand-alone basis to warrant treatment as an operating segment, and that do not fit into one of our three operating segments, are aggregated as “Other Activities” and included as part of non-utility operations as presented below in the Operating Segment Financial Information. These activities include the operations of CEV, a non-utility wholesale energy company that engages in acquiring and optimizing natural gas storage and transportation assets and WGSW, Inc., a holding company formed to invest in Solar Photovoltaic (Solar PV) facilities. Administrative costs associated with WGL Holdings and Washington Gas Resources are also included in “Other Activities.”

     The same accounting policies applied in preparing our consolidated financial statements, as discussed in Note 1—Accounting Policiesalso apply to the reported segments. While net income or loss applicable to common stock is the primary criterion for measuring a segment’s performance, we also evaluate our operating segments based on other relevant factors, such as penetration into their respective markets and return on equity. The following tables present operating segment information for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

NOTE 12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     WGL Holdings and its subsidiaries engage in transactions among each other during the ordinary course of business. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements of WGL Holdings. Washington Gas provides accounting, treasury, legal and other administrative and general support to affiliates, consistent with jurisdictional regulatory rules, and files consolidated tax returns that include affiliated taxable transactions. The actual costs of these services are billed to the appropriate affiliates and, to the extent such billings are not yet paid, they are reflected in “Receivables from associated companies” on Washington Gas’ balance sheets. Washington Gas assigns or allocates these costs directly to its affiliates and, therefore, does not recognize revenues or expenses associated with providing these services.

     In connection with billing for unregulated third party marketers and other miscellaneous billing processes, Washington Gas collects cash on behalf of affiliates and transfers the cash as quickly as reasonably possible. Cash collected by Washington Gas on behalf of its affiliates but not yet transferred is recorded in “Payables to associated companies” on Washington Gas’ balance sheets. These transactions recorded by Washington Gas impact the balance sheet only.

     At June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, the Washington Gas balance sheets reflected receivables from associated companies of $0.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively. At June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, the Washington Gas balance sheets reflected payables to associated companies of $17.5 million and $9.2 million, respectively, related to the activities described above.

     Washington Gas provides gas balancing services related to storage, injections, withdrawals and deliveries to all energy marketers participating in the sale of natural gas on an unregulated basis through the customer choice programs that operate in its service territory. These balancing services include the sale of natural gas supply commodities related to various peaking arrangements contractually supplied to Washington Gas and then partially allocated and assigned by Washington Gas to the energy marketers, including WGEServices. Washington Gas records revenues for these balancing services pursuant to tariffs approved by the appropriate regulatory bodies. In conjunction with such services and the related sales and purchases of natural gas, Washington Gas charged WGEServices, an affiliated energy marketer, $3.0 million and $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the charges were $20.5 million and $20.2 million, respectively. These related party amounts have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements of WGL Holdings.

     As a result of these balancing services, an imbalance is created for volumes of natural gas received by Washington Gas that are not equal to the volumes of natural gas delivered to customers of the energy marketers. At June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, WGEServices recognized an accounts receivable from Washington Gas in the amount of $1.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively, related to an imbalance in gas volumes. Due to regulatory requirements, these receivables are not eliminated in the consolidated financial statements of WGL Holdings.

     On June 29, 2011, Washington Gas implemented a Purchase of Receivables (POR) program as approved by the PSC of MD, whereby it purchases receivables from participating energy marketers at approved discount rates. In addition, WGEServices participates in POR programs with certain Maryland and Pennsylvania utilities, whereby it sells its receivables to various utilities, including Washington Gas, at approved discount rates. The receivables purchased by Washington Gas are included in “Accounts receivable” in the accompanying balance sheet. For both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, Washington Gas purchased $0.4 million of receivables from WGEServices.

NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     RATES AND REGULATORY MATTERS

     Washington Gas determines its request to modify existing rates based on the level of net investment in plant and equipment, operating expenses and the need to earn a just and reasonable return on invested capital. The following is a discussion of significant current regulatory matters in each of Washington Gas’ jurisdictions.

     District of Columbia Jurisdiction

     Affiliate Transactions Code of Conduct.On February 1, 2011, the PSC of DC issued an order adopting rules governing affiliate transactions code of conduct for regulated energy utilities and their affiliates. Included among the regulations are limitations on joint marketing with core service affiliates, and disclosure of customer-specific information, as well as restrictions on(i) favorable treatment of affiliates,(ii)the provision of loans and loan guarantees by the utility to an affiliate, and(iii)sharing and temporary assignment of electric company employees with an affiliate. These regulations also require the energy utilities to file Cost Allocation Manuals (CAM) with the PSC of DC demonstrating how they allocate and account for shared services with their affiliates. The CAM must be filed with the PSC of DC annually within four months of the close of the utility’s fiscal year.

     Maryland Jurisdiction

     Order on and Reviews of Purchased Gas Charges.Each year, the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC of MD) reviews the annual gas costs collected from customers in Maryland to determine if Washington Gas’ purchased gas costs are reasonable.

     The Office of the Staff of the PSC of MD (MD Staff) and the Maryland Office of the People’s Counsel (MD OPC) are challenging a portion of Washington Gas’ Purchased Gas Charges (PGC) for the twelve month period ended August 31,2009 averring that Washington Gas did not have authority under its tariff to satisfy in cash its obligation (cash-out) for over-deliveries by suppliers over the 12-months ended March 2009 and also asserting that Washington Gas used an “excessive price” as the cash-out price. The MD Staff recommended that a second phase to the proceeding be initiated to investigate these assertions. Washington Gas has objected to both of these assertions. Discovery and testimony were filed in the case, and a hearing was held on March 25, 2010. The MD OPC has taken a position that $2.1 million of gas costs related to the purchase of competitive service provider (CSP) inventory included in the PGC should be disallowed. Briefs were filed April 30, 2010, and reply briefs were filed May 21, 2010. A proposed order was issued by the Hearing Examiner on August 25, 2010, finding that under the tariff, Washington Gas should have resolved supplier over-deliveries during the review period by adjusting future delivery volumes by suppliers, rather than by cash-out. The proposed order directed Washington Gas to refund to customers the excess costs paid to suppliers as a result of the cash-out of supplier over-deliveries. The proposed order also directed Washington Gas to present an “exact calculation” of the excess amount paid to suppliers in accordance with the methodology proposed by the MD OPC. The MD OPC had estimated the amount of the excess costs to Maryland ratepayers to be approximately $2.1 million. The proposed order directs Washington Gas to credit $2.1 million to the actual cost adjustment as recommended by the MD OPC. The MD Staff and Washington Gas filed notices of appeal of the proposed order on September 23 and 24, 2010, respectively, and memorandums on appeal on October 1 and 4, 2010, respectively. A decision from the PSC of MD is pending.

     Investigation of Asset Management and Gas Purchase Practices.On July 24, 2008, the Office of Staff Counsel of the PSC of MD (Staff Counsel) submitted a petition to the PSC of MD to establish an investigation into Washington Gas’ asset management program and cost recovery of its gas purchases. On September 4, 2008, the PSC of MD docketed a new proceeding to consider the issues raised in the petition filed by Staff Counsel. In accordance with the procedural schedule, Washington Gas filed direct testimony on November 21, 2008; direct testimony by intervening parties was filed on February 4, 2009, and Washington Gas’ rebuttal testimony was filed March 11, 2009. A public hearing was held on March 19, 2009. Initial briefs were filed by Washington Gas and other parties on June 25, 2009. Reply briefs were filed on August 3, 2009.

     On November 2, 2009, the Chief Hearing Examiner of the PSC of MD issued a Proposed Order of Hearing Examiner (POHE) which supports Washington Gas’ move to self-optimization of its gas assets, concluding that “the evidence on the record in this case is overwhelming that Washington Gas’ decision to transition to self-management has in fact been prudent and resulted in substantial rate benefits...” The POHE approved Washington Gas’ proposal for the sharing of margins from asset optimization between Washington Gas and customers based on a graduated, tiered approach. The POHE directed Washington Gas to pass credits to customers through the PGC provision.

     The POHE approved Washington Gas’ current methodology for pricing storage injections. However, the POHE stated that the parties will have 60 days from the date of a final order in the case to suggest any alternative pricing methods. The POHE strongly urged Washington Gas to consult with the other parties to develop greater transparency and separate accounting or tracking of asset optimization activities and to provide a proposal or report within 60 days after a final order is issued.

     The POHE directed Washington Gas to include language in its tariff that would prevent losses from asset optimization activity over a full year from being passed on to ratepayers, but recognizes that timing differences or accounting adjustments, which may appear as a loss in a particular month, may occur.

     On December 2, 2009, both the MD Staff and the MD OPC filed notices of appeal of the POHE and on December 14, 2009, both filed a memorandum on appeal in support of their positions. On January 4, 2010, Washington Gas filed a reply memorandum in response to the MD Staff and the MD OPC’s memoranda on appeal. A decision by the PSC of MD is pending.

     Review of Washington Gas’ 2009 — 2013 Gas Portfolio Plan.On March 19, 2009, the PSC of MD docketed a proceeding to review Washington Gas’ 2009 — 2013 Gas Portfolio Plan, specifically noting Washington Gas’ plans to build an on-system peaking facility on the grounds of the decommissioned Chillum gas storage holders in Chillum, Maryland. Refer to the section entitled "Chillum LNG Facility” in Management’s Discussion for further discussion of this matter. Upon consideration of a motion to combine review of Washington Gas’ Gas Portfolio Plans, on January 6, 2010, the PSC of MD consolidated this proceeding with Washington Gas’ 2010 — 2014 Gas Portfolio Plan, which was filed on November 17, 2009. Washington Gas announced on May 6, 2010, that it projected a new in-service date for the on-system peaking facility, the 2015-2016 winter heating season. As a result, the hearing examiner ruled that the facility is not subject to review as part of the Gas Portfolio Plans being considered in the current proceeding, which had a term from 2010 — 2014. The hearing examiner subsequently approved Washington Gas’ portfolio plan, including the reserve margins reflected in Washington Gas’ energy acquisition planning. Initial briefs were filed on August 13, 2010 and reply briefs were filed on September 17, 2010. On October 27, 2010, the hearing examiner issued a proposed order. The hearing examiner found:

(i)	the Gas Portfolio Plan proposed by Washington Gas for years 2009-2013 and 2010-2014 is reasonable;
(ii)	the design day forecasts contained in Washington Gas’ plans are correct and reasonable in determining the design day requirement;
(iii)	a reserve margin proposed by Washington Gas of 5.0% to 6.5% continues to be reasonable; and that
(iv)	some additional information should be filed along with all future plans.

     The proposed order became final on November 30, 2010 and it was not appealed by any party.

     New Base Rate Case

     On April 15, 2011, Washington Gas filed a request for a base rate increase of $30.0 million with the PSC of MD requesting authority to increase its rates and charges and to revise the terms and conditions applicable to gas service in Maryland.

     This application seeks to establish new base rates and charges that will increase annual operating revenues by approximately $30.0 million, resulting in an overall rate of return of 8.59% and a return on common equity of 10.45%. This compares to the overall rate of return of 8.2% and return on common equity of 10.0% as authorized by the PSC of MD in its Final Order issued to Washington Gas on November 16, 2007.

     Washington Gas has also included a request for approval of a rate adjustment mechanism to recover costs associated with the accelerated replacement of transmission and distribution pipe designed to enhance safety and system reliability. Washington Gas also proposes certain changes to its general service provisions which include the following areas:(i)payments;(ii)submetering;(iii)installation of service pipes and connections;(iv)economic evaluation of facilities extensions;(v)purchased gas charge and(vi)automatic payment plan. In addition, Washington Gas also proposed two new general service provisions pertaining to the balancing for natural gas-fired generating stations and the implementation of the accelerated pipe replacement plan rider. Washington Gas also seeks to increase its research and development funding through programs sponsored by the Gas Technology Institute.

     On April 18, 2011, Washington Gas received an order from the PSC of MD related to this rate filing suspending the proposed rates and charges and the proposed changes in the terms and conditions for gas service for an initial period of 150 days following the 30 day notice period, as permitted under the Code of Maryland. The case is currently in the discovery phase. Intervenors filed their initial testimony in July 2011. New rates are expected to go into effect in November 2011.

     Virginia Jurisdiction

     Conservation and Ratemaking Efficiency Plan (CARE).On September 29, 2009, Washington Gas filed with the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC of VA) an application which included a portfolio of conservation and energy efficiency programs, an associated cost recovery provision, and a decoupling mechanism which will adjust weather normalized non-gas distribution revenues for the impact of conservation or energy efficiency efforts. An evidentiary hearing in the proceeding was held on February 9, 2010. On March 26, 2010 the SCC of VA issued an Order approving a decoupling rate mechanism for residential customers and six residential energy efficiency programs and the cost recovery mechanism for those programs. Washington Gas filed compliance tariffs with the staff of the SCC of VA (VA Staff) on April 19, 2010 to implement the CARE Plan on May 1, 2010. Washington Gas began applying the decoupling mechanism in Virginia in its July billings for residential customers consistent with the SCC of VA’s approval. On July 22, 2010, Washington Gas filed an amendment to the CARE Plan to include small commercial and industrial customers in Virginia. The application included a portfolio of conservation and energy efficiency programs, an associated cost recovery provision and a decoupling mechanism that will adjust weather normalized non-gas distribution revenues for the impact of conservation or energy efficiency efforts. In accordance with the procedural schedule established for the proceeding, the VA Staff filed its report on September 13, 2010 and Washington Gas filed its response to the VA Staff report on September 24, 2010. On November 18, 2010, the SCC of VA issued an order that denied Washington Gas’ application. The SCC of VA found that Washington Gas’ current tariff and its underlying class cost of service and revenue apportionment studies do not segregate small versus large customers and that only small customers qualify under the CARE law. The SCC of VA stated that Washington Gas could amend the underlying tariff and studies in connection with its required February 1, 2011 base rate case filing. Such a tariff amendment was proposed in the filing made with the SCC of VA on January 31, 2011, and noted below.

     Steps to Advance Virginia’s Energy Plan (SAVE).On August 4, 2010 Washington Gas filed an application (and supplemental testimony on October 25, 2010) with the SCC of VA for approval of a SAVE Plan which included four gas utility infrastructure replacement programs and a SAVE rider to recover certain costs associated with the replacement programs. An evidentiary hearing was held on March 8, 2011. On April 21, 2011, the SCC of VA issued an Order approving Washington Gas’ proposed five year SAVE Plan encompassing a total of $116.5 million in expenditures for the four replacement programs for the period from June 2010 to December 31, 2014. The SCC of VA also approved a SAVE rider to recover the costs of the replacement programs, effective for bills rendered on or after May 1, 2011. The SCC of VA also established a schedule for Washington Gas’ SAVE rider filings for the approved SAVE Plan.

     New Base Rate Case

     On January 31, 2011, Washington Gas filed a request with the SCC of VA for a $29.6 million annual increase in revenues. The filing was made pursuant to the settlement agreement reached by the parties and approved by the SCC of VA in Washington Gas’ last base rate case, which resulted in a Performance-Based Rate (PBR) plan. The filing made in January 2011 did not request either renewal or modification of the PBR plan; rather, the filing was based on traditional cost of service regulation. New rates cannot go into effect until after October 1, 2011, per the settlement agreement referenced above.

     The $29.6 million revenue increase requested in this application included a proposed overall rate of return of 8.58% and a return on common equity of 10.5%, as compared to a return on common equity of 10.0% in Washington Gas’ last base rate proceeding. On May 12, 2011, Washington Gas filed a revised base rate increase request lowering the requested revenue increase from $29.6 million to $28.5 million as a result of new proposed depreciation rates.

     Washington Gas proposes to continue the Weather Normalization Adjustment, which was previously approved by the SCC of VA. Washington Gas also proposes a new sharing arrangement associated with its asset optimization program, and seeks to increase its research and development funding through programs sponsored by The Gas Technology Institute. In addition, the application includes various tariff revisions related to (i) payment processing, (ii) installation of service pipes and connections, (iii) economic evaluation of facilities extensions, (iv) Purchase Gas Charge, (v) automated payment plan, (vi) developmental natural gas vehicle service, (vii) balancing for natural gas-fired generating stations, and (viii) Rate Schedule Nos. 5, 5A and 6 pertaining to large non-residential customers.

     Hearings have been scheduled for November 16, 2011.

     Performance-Based Rate Plans

     In rate case proceedings in all local jurisdictions in 2006 and 2007, Washington Gas previously requested permission to implement PBR plans that include performance measures for customer service and an Earnings Sharing Mechanism (ESM) that enables Washington Gas to share with shareholders and customers the earnings that exceed a target rate of return on equity.

     Effective October 1, 2007, the SCC of VA approved the implementation of a PBR plan through the acceptance of a settlement stipulation, which includes:(i)a four-year base rate freeze;(ii) service quality measures to be determined in conjunction with the VA Staff and reported quarterly for maintaining a safe and reliable natural gas distribution system while striving to control operating costs;(iii)recovery of initial implementation costs associated with achieving Washington Gas’ business process outsourcing (BPO) initiatives over the four-year period of the PBR plan and(iv)an ESM that enables Washington Gas to share with shareholders and Virginia customers the earnings that exceed a target of 10.5% return on equity. The calculation of the ESM excludes $2.4 million of asset management revenues that are being refunded to customers as part of a new margin sharing agreement in Virginia.

     On January 28, 2010, Washington Gas indicated in its annual information filing that there was no ESM liability for fiscal year 2009. On June 30, 2010, the SCC of VA accepted the VA Staff’s report and agreed that there was no ESM liability for fiscal year 2009.

     Based on the results reflected in the annual information filing, Washington Gas has recorded a regulatory asset of approximately $0.5 million of previously expensed hexane costs and on June 23, 2010, filed an application with the SCC of VA requesting the authority to bill the cost of this hexane to customers in accordance with the provision of the Settlement Stipulation in the last rate proceeding. On July 22, 2010, the SCC of VA issued an Order for Notice and Comment in this proceeding. Washington Gas filed direct testimony on August 18, 2010 and the VA Staff issued its report on October 21, 2010. The VA Staff found that Washington Gas’ request to recover $0.5 million of hexane costs would not result in earnings exceeding Washington Gas’ 10.0% allowed rate of return on average common equity threshold and therefore Washington Gas should be allowed to bill the amounts. Washington Gas filed its response to the VA Staff’s report on November 4, 2010. On December 15, 2010, the SCC of VA issued an Order approving the Washington Gas proposed billing of the cost of hexane.

     On January 31, 2011, Washington Gas filed its annual information filing indicating that there was no ESM liability for fiscal year 2010. The matter is pending before the SCC of VA.

     The existing PBR Plan in Virginia will expire on September 30, 2011, and Washington Gas has not proposed to extend the Plan.

     On November 16, 2007, the PSC of MD issued a final order in a rate case, which established a phase-two proceeding to review Washington Gas’ request to implement a PBR plan and issues raised by the parties associated with Washington Gas’ BPO agreement. On September 4, 2008, a POHE was issued in this phase-two proceeding. Consistent with Washington Gas’ current accounting methodology, the proposed order approved 10-year amortization accounting for initial implementation costs related to Washington Gas’ BPO plan. At June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, Washington Gas had recorded a regulatory asset of $5.8 million and $6.4 million, respectively, net of amortization, related to initial implementation costs allocable to Maryland associated with our BPO plan. Washington Gas’ application seeking approval of a PBR plan was denied. Additionally, the proposed order(i)directs Washington Gas to obtain an independent management audit related to BPO issues raised in the phase-two proceeding and(ii)directs the initiation of a collaboration process in which Washington Gas is directed to engage in discussions with the MD Staff, the MD OPC and interested parties to develop appropriate customer service metrics and a periodic form for reporting results similar to the metrics filed by Washington Gas as part of the approved settlement in Virginia. Aspects of this proposed order were appealed by the parties in November 2008. A final decision by the PSC of MD is pending.

     The final order issued by the PSC of DC on December 28, 2007 approved amortization accounting for initial implementation costs related to the BPO plan in approving the stipulated agreement filed in the base rate case proceeding. As part of that approved agreement, Washington Gas withdrew its application seeking approval of a PBR plan and is prohibited from seeking approval of a PBR plan in the District of Columbia until the filing of its next base rate case.

     NON-UTILITY OPERATIONS

     Construction Project Financing

     To fund certain of its construction projects, Washington Gas enters into financing arrangements with third party lenders. As part of these financing arrangements, Washington Gas’ customers agree to make principal and interest payments over a period of time, typically beginning after the projects are completed. Washington Gas assigns these customer payment streams to the lender. As the lender funds the construction project, Washington Gas establishes a note receivable representing its customers’ obligations to remit principal and interest and a long-term note payable to the lender. When these projects are formally “accepted” by the customer as completed, Washington Gas transfers the ownership of the note receivable to the lender and removes both the note receivable and the long-term financing from its financial statements. As of June 30, 2011, work on these construction projects that was not completed or accepted by customers was valued at $4.2 million, which is recorded on the balance sheet as a note receivable in “Deferred Charges and Other Assets—Other” with the corresponding long-term obligation to the lender in “Long-term debt.” At any time before these contracts are accepted by the customer, should there be a contract default, such as, among other things, a delay in completing the project, the lender may call on Washington Gas to fund the unpaid principal in exchange for which Washington Gas would receive the right to the stream of payments from the customer. Once the project is accepted by the customer, the lender will have no recourse against Washington Gas related to this long-term debt. Construction projects are financed primarily for government agencies, which Washington Gas considers to have minimal credit risk. Based on this minimal risk assessment and previous collection experience, Washington Gas considers these receivables to be collectible and did not record a corresponding reserve for bad debt at June 30, 2011.

     Financial Guarantees

     WGL Holdings has guaranteed payments primarily for certain purchases of natural gas and electricity on behalf of the retail energy-marketing segment. At June 30, 2011, these guarantees totaled $558.1 million. WGL Holdings has also guaranteed certain purchase commitments of its CEV subsidiary. At June 30, 2011, these guarantees totaled $88.4 million. The amount of such guarantees is periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the level of financial exposure related to these purchase commitments. We also receive financial guarantees or other collateral from counterparties when required by our credit policy. WGL Holdings also issued guarantees totaling $3.0 million at June 30, 2011 on behalf of certain of our non-utility subsidiaries associated with their banking transactions. Of the total guarantees of $649.5 million, $53.0 million is due to expire on October 31, 2011 and $36.0 million is due to expire on December 31, 2011. The remaining guarantees do not have specific maturity dates. For all of its financial guarantees, WGL Holdings may cancel any or all future obligations imposed by the guarantees upon written notice to the counterparty, but WGL Holdings would continue to be responsible for the obligations that had been created under the guarantees prior to the effective date of the cancellation.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

     ThisManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Management’s Discussion) analyzes the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of WGL Holdings, Inc. (WGL Holdings) and its subsidiaries. Except where the content clearly indicates otherwise, “WGL Holdings,” “we,” “us” or “our” refers to the holding company or the consolidated entity of WGL Holdings and all of its subsidiaries.

     Management’s Discussion is divided into the following two major sections:

• WGL Holdings—This section describes the financial condition and results of operations of WGL Holdings and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. It includes discussions of our regulated operations, including Washington Gas and Hampshire Gas Company (Hampshire), and our non-utility operations.

• Washington Gas Light Company (Washington Gas)—This section describes the financial condition and results of operations of Washington Gas, a wholly owned subsidiary of WGL Holdings, which comprises the majority of the regulated utility segment.

     Both sections of Management’s Discussion—WGL Holdings and Washington Gas—are designed to provide an understanding of our operations and financial performance and should be read in conjunction with the respective company’s financial statements and the combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this quarterly report as well as our combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for WGL Holdings and Washington Gas for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 (2010 Annual Report).

     Unless otherwise noted, earnings per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis, and are based on weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding. Our operations are seasonal and, accordingly, our operating results for the interim periods presented are not indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

     Introduction

     WGL Holdings, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, sells and delivers natural gas and provides a variety of energy-related products and services to customers primarily in the District of Columbia and the surrounding metropolitan areas in Maryland and Virginia. WGL Holdings has three operating segments that are described below.

     Regulated Utility.With approximately 90% of our consolidated total assets, the regulated utility segment consists of Washington Gas and Hampshire. Washington Gas delivers natural gas to retail customers in accordance with tariffs approved by the regulatory commissions that have jurisdiction over Washington Gas’ rates. Washington Gas also sells natural gas to customers who have not elected to purchase natural gas from unregulated third party marketers.

     The rates charged to utility customers are designed to recover Washington Gas’ operating expenses and natural gas commodity costs and to provide a return on its investment in the net assets used in its firm gas sales and delivery service. Washington Gas recovers the cost of the natural gas purchased to serve firm customers through the gas cost recovery mechanisms as approved in jurisdictional tariffs. Any difference between the firm customer gas costs incurred and the gas costs recovered from those firm customers is deferred on the balance sheet as an amount to be collected from or refunded to customers in future periods. Therefore, increases or decreases in the cost of gas associated with sales made to firm customers have no direct effect on Washington Gas’ net revenues and net income.

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

     Washington Gas’ asset optimization program utilizes Washington Gas’ storage and transportation capacity resources when those assets are not fully utilized to physically serve utility customers. The objective of this program is to derive a profit to be shared with its utility customers (refer to the section entitled “Market Risk” for further discussion of our asset optimization program) by entering into commodity-related physical and financial contracts with third parties. Unless otherwise noted, therm deliveries shown related to Washington Gas or the regulated utility segment do not include therm deliveries related to our asset optimization program.

     Hampshire, a wholly owned subsidiary of WGL Holdings, is regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Hampshire operates and owns full and partial interests in underground natural gas storage facilities including pipeline delivery facilities located in and around Hampshire County, West Virginia. Washington Gas purchases all of the storage services of Hampshire and includes the cost of these services in the bills sent to its customers. Hampshire operates under a “pass-through” cost of service-based tariff approved by the FERC, and adjusts its billing rates to Washington Gas on a periodic basis to account for changes in its investment in utility plant and associated expenses.

     Retail Energy-Marketing.The retail energy-marketing segment consists of the operations of Washington Gas Energy Services, Inc. (WGEServices), a wholly owned subsidiary of Washington Gas Resources, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of WGL Holdings. WGEServices competes with regulated utilities and other unregulated third party marketers to sell natural gas and/or electricity directly to residential, commercial and industrial customers in Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia. WGEServices contracts for its supply needs and buys and resells natural gas and electricity with the objective of earning a profit through competitively priced contracts with end-users. These commodities are delivered to retail customers through the distribution systems owned by regulated utilities such as Washington Gas or other unaffiliated natural gas or electric utilities. WGEServices is also expanding its renewable energy and energy conservation product and service offerings. Other than its Solar Photovoltaic (Solar PV) facilities, WGEServices does not own or operate any natural gas or electric generation, production, transmission or distribution assets. Continued expansion may include the ownership of other renewable energy producing assets.

     Design-Build Energy Systems.Our design-build energy systems segment, which consists of the operations of Washington Gas Energy Systems, Inc. (WGESystems), provides design-build energy efficient and sustainable solutions to government and commercial clients. WGESystems focuses on upgrading the mechanical, electrical, water and energy-related systems of large government and commercial facilities by implementing both traditional as well as alternative energy technologies, primarily in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia.

     Other Activities.Activities and transactions that are not significant enough on a stand-alone basis to warrant treatment as an operating segment, and that do not fit into one of our three operating segments, are aggregated as “Other activities” and included as part of non-utility operations as presented below in the operating segment financial information. These activities include the operations of Capitol Energy Ventures Corp. (CEV), a non-utility wholesale energy company that engages in acquiring and optimizing natural gas storage and transportation assets and WGSW, Inc., a holding company formed to invest in Solar PV power generating facilities. Both CEV and WGSW, Inc. are wholly owned subsidiaries of Washington Gas Resources. Administrative costs associated with WGL Holdings and Washington Gas Resources are also included in “Other activities.”

     PRIMARY FACTORS AFFECTING WGL HOLDINGS AND WASHINGTON GAS

     The principal business, economic and other factors that affect our operations and/or financial performance include:

• weather conditions and weather patterns;

• regulatory environment, regulatory decisions and changes in legislation;

• availability of natural gas supply and pipeline transportation and storage capacity;

• diversity of natural gas supply;

• volatility of natural gas prices;

• non-weather related changes in natural gas consumption patterns;

• maintaining the safety and reliability of the natural gas distribution system;

• competitive environment;

• environmental matters;

• industry consolidation;

• economic conditions and interest rates;

• inflation/deflation;

• use of business process outsourcing;

• labor contracts, including labor and benefit costs; and

• changes in accounting principles.

     For further discussion of the factors listed above, refer to Management’s Discussion within the 2010 Annual Report. Also, refer to the section entitled“Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements”included in this quarterly report for a listing of forward-looking statements related to factors affecting WGL Holdings and Washington Gas.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) requires the selection and the application of appropriate technical accounting guidance to the relevant facts and circumstances of our operations, as well as our use of estimates to compile the consolidated financial statements. The application of these accounting policies involves judgment regarding estimates and projected outcomes of future events, including the likelihood of success of particular regulatory initiatives, the likelihood of realizing estimates for legal and environmental contingencies and the probability of recovering costs and investments in both the regulated utility and non-utility business segments.

     We have identified the following critical accounting policies that require our judgment and estimation, where the resulting estimates may have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements:

• accounting for unbilled revenue;

• accounting for regulatory operations — regulatory assets and liabilities;

• accounting for income taxes;

• accounting for contingencies;

• accounting for derivative instruments;

• accounting for pension and other post-retirement benefit plans and

• accounting for stock based compensation.

     For a description of these critical accounting policies, refer to Management’s Discussion within the 2010 Annual Report. There were no new critical accounting policies identified for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 vs. June 30, 2010

     We analyze the operating results of the regulated utility segment using utility net revenues and the retail energy-marketing segment using gross margins. Both utility net revenues and gross margins are calculated as revenues less the associated cost of energy and applicable revenue taxes. We believe utility net revenues is a better measure to analyze profitability than gross operating revenues for our regulated utility segment because the cost of the natural gas commodity and revenue taxes are generally included in the rates that Washington Gas charges to customers as reflected in operating revenues. Accordingly, changes in the cost of gas and revenue taxes associated with sales made to customers generally have no direct effect on utility net revenues, operating income or net income. We consider gross margins to be a better reflection of profitability than gross revenues or gross energy costs for our retail energy-marketing segment because gross margins are a direct measure of the success of our core strategy for the sale of natural gas and electricity.

     Neither utility net revenues nor gross margins should be considered as an alternative to, or a more meaningful indicator of, our operating performance than net income. Our measures of utility net revenues and gross margins may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Refer to the sections entitled“Results of Operations—Regulated Utility Operating Results”and“Results of Operations—Non-Utility Operating Results”for the calculation of utility net revenues and gross margins, respectively, as well as a reconciliation to operating income and net income for both segments.

     Summary Results

     WGL Holdings reported net income applicable to common stock of $3.0 million, or $0.06 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to net income applicable to common stock of $9.7 million, or $0.19 per share, reported for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

     The comparison of results for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year reflects lower net losses from the regulated utility segment more than offset by a decrease in earnings from non-utility operations. Our operations are seasonal and, accordingly, our operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2011, are not indicative of the results expected for the 12 months ending September 30, 2011.

     The following table summarizes our net income (loss) applicable to common stock by operating segment for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

     The regulated utility segment’s net loss applicable to common stock was $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to a net loss of $10.5 million for the same three month period in 2010. The decrease in net losses from the prior period are primarily due to:(i)a $3.5 million increase in unrealized margins associated with our asset optimization program;(ii)a $1.9 million improvement relating to the impact of the reduction in Maryland depreciation rates effective on June 1, 2010, creating a favorable timing difference between the recognition and recovery of depreciation expense;(iii)a $1.8 million decrease in recurring Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) costs;(iv)$1.6 million in favorable effects of changes in natural gas consumption patterns and(v)a $0.8 million increase in revenues related to growth of more than 10,200 average active customer meters. Partially offsetting these favorable variances were:(i) $2.3 million in higher depreciation expense due to the growth in, and mix of, our investment in utility plant;(ii)a $0.8 million decrease in realized margins associated with our asset optimization program and(iii)a $0.7 million decrease in the recovery of storage gas inventory carrying costs reflecting lower average inventory values.

     Utility Net Revenues. The following table provides the key factors contributing to the changes in the utility net revenues of the regulated utility segment between the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

     Asset optimization —We recorded net unrealized gains associated with our energy-related derivatives of $4.8 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. When these derivatives settle, any unrealized amounts will ultimately be reversed, and Washington Gas will realize margins when combined with the related transactions these derivatives economically hedge. Pre-tax realized margins related to our asset optimization program were $0.8 million lower for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. Refer to the section entitled“Market Risk—Price Risk Related to the Regulated Utility Segment”for a further discussion of our asset optimization program.

     Estimated change in natural gas consumption patterns —The variance in net revenues reflects the changes in natural gas consumption patterns in the District of Columbia. These changes may be affected by shifts in weather patterns in which customer heating usage may not correlate highly with average historical levels of usage per heating degree day (HDD) that occur. Natural gas consumption patterns may also be affected by non-weather related factors such as customer conservation.

     Customer growth —Average active customer meters increased by more than 10,200 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.

     Estimated weather effects —Weather, when measured by HDDs, was 9.3% and 27.7% warmer than normal for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Washington Gas has a weather protection strategy that is designed to neutralize the estimated financial effects of variations from normal weather on net income (refer to the section entitled“Weather Risk”for further discussion of our weather protection strategy). Washington Gas executed heating degree day derivative contracts to manage its exposure to variations from normal weather in the District of Columbia. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are reflected in operation and maintenance expenses and offset the benefits reflected above. Including the effects of our weather protection strategy, there were no material effects on net income attributed to colder or warmer weather for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

     Storage carrying costs —Each jurisdiction provides for the recovery of carrying costs based on the cost of capital in each jurisdiction, multiplied by the monthly average balance of storage gas inventory. The decrease in the three months ended June 30, 2011 is due to lower average storage gas inventory investment balances reflecting lower weighted average cost of gas in inventory compared to the prior period.

     Impact of depreciation rate cases —New rates reflecting a lower provision for depreciation expense were effective on June 1, 2010 as a result of an order issued by the Public Service Commission of Maryland (PSC of MD). This reduction is offset by lower depreciation expense.

     Operation and Maintenance Expenses. The following table provides the key factors contributing to the changes in operation and maintenance expenses of the regulated utility for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

Composition of Changes in Operation and Maintenance Expenses

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

     Operation engineering and marketing —The increase in operation engineering and marketing costs during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same quarter of the prior year reflects higher labor costs due to an increase in the volume of projects.

     Uncollectible accounts —The increase from prior year is due to a higher accrual rate for uncollectible expense applied to higher revenues in fiscal year 2011.

     Weather derivative benefits —The effects of hedging variations from normal weather in the District of Columbia for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are recorded to operation and maintenance expense. Washington Gas recorded a gain of $0.4 million and $1.1 million related to weather derivatives as a direct result of warmer than normal weather in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The benefits or losses of the weather-related instruments are offset by the effect of weather on utility net revenues. In addition, net premiums received related to the weather derivatives were lower due to market expectations of weather.

     Business process outsourcing —The decrease in BPO costs during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same quarter of the prior year reflects a decrease in recurring service costs.

     Employee benefits —The decrease in employee benefits expense reflects a $3.5 million loss recognized for a partial settlement of the Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (SERP) that was included in 2010 that was not included in 2011. The remaining variance reflects higher employee benefit expense primarily due to changes in pension and retiree medical plan valuation assumptions.

     Depreciation and Amortization.The following table provides the key factors contributing to the changes in depreciation and amortization of the regulated utility for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

Composition of Changes in Depreciation and Amortization
	Increase/
(In millions)	(Decrease)
Property, plant and equipment additions	$	2.3
New depreciation rates—Maryland		(2.9	)
Retirement of plant assets		(0.2	)
Total	$	(0.8	)

     New depreciation rates —Depreciation expense decreased as a result of lower depreciation rates effective June 1, 2010 as approved in an order issued by the PSC of MD. This reduction decreases revenues; however, there is a timing difference between expense and revenue recognition in the interim periods of a fiscal year. Refer to the section entitled “Rates and Regulatory Matters — Depreciation Study” in the Management’s Discussion section of our 2010 Annual Report for further discussion of depreciation matters. Partially offsetting the decrease in MD depreciation rates is an increase in depreciation expense in all jurisdictions related to the increase in, and changes in, the asset mix of our investment in utility plant.

Non-Utility Operating Results

     Our non-utility operations comprise two business segments:(i)retail energy-marketing and(ii)design-build energy systems. Transactions that are not significant enough on a stand-alone basis to warrant treatment as an operating segment, and that do not fit into one of our three operating segments, are aggregated as “Other activities” and included as part of non-utility operations. These activities include the operations of CEV and WGSW, Inc. Total net income from our non-utility operations was $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to net income of $20.2 million for the same three-month period of the prior fiscal year. This comparison primarily reflects lower earnings from our retail energy-marketing segment.

     WGEServices reported net income of $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to net income of $20.7 million reported for the same three-month period of the prior fiscal year.

     The reduction in net income primarily reflects the change in unrealized mark-to-market margins attributable to certain wholesale energy supply and retail sales contracts and higher operating expenses partially offset by higher realized margins from both natural gas and electric sales. Period-to-period comparisons of quarterly gross margins for this segment can vary significantly and are not necessarily representative of expected annualized results.

     Gross margins from natural gas sales decreased $3.7 million in the current quarter of fiscal year 2011 when compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. This decrease is primarily due to the unfavorable change in unrealized mark-to-market margins on energy-related derivatives of $8.8 million resulting from fluctuating market prices partially offset by an increase in realized margins of $5.1 million due to favorable timing on the recognition of margins compared to prior year and to customer growth and increased sales of higher margin products.

     Gross margins from electric sales in the current quarter decreased $13.9 million from the same quarter of the prior period. This decrease reflects a $14.6 million change in unrealized mark-to-market margins on energy-related derivatives partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in realized margins due to higher sales volumes associated with customer growth as well as favorable weather and pricing conditions in June 2011, partially offset by the favorable effect in the prior year of a true-up with the electric grid operator. Partially offsetting the benefits of increased margins were higher operating expenses due to higher marketing and salary expenses.

     Design-Build Energy Systems.The design-build energy systems segment reported a net loss of $26,000 for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, compared to a net loss of $77,000 reported for the same period of fiscal year 2010. This increase is due to the commencement of project work for government agency customers that was delayed in the prior year partially offset by higher operating expenses as a result of higher labor expense associated with increased project work.

     WGL Holdings’ interest expense of $10.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 increased $0.2 million from $10.0 million of the same quarter of fiscal year 2010. The increase primarily relates to higher interest expense related to uncertain tax positions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — Nine Months Ended June 30, 2011 vs. June 30, 2010

     Summary Results

     WGL Holdings reported net income applicable to common stock of $147.6 million, or $2.88 per share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $136.0 million, or $2.69 per share, reported for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.

     The comparison of results for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year primarily reflects an increase in earnings from the retail-energy marketing segment partially offset by a decrease in earnings from the regulated utility segment. Our operations are seasonal and, accordingly, our operating results for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, are not indicative of the results expected for the 12 months ending September 30, 2011.

     The regulated utility segment’s net income applicable to common stock was $107.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $121.2 million for the same nine month period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in net income primarily reflects:(i) a $23.1 million decrease in unrealized margins associated with our asset optimization program;(ii)$5.1 million in higher depreciation expense due to the growth in, and mix of, our investment in utility plant;(iii)a $2.1 million decrease relating to the impact of the reduction in Maryland depreciation rates effective on June 1, 2010, creating a timing difference between the recognition and recovery of depreciation expense;(iv)$2.1 million in higher employee benefit expense primarily due to changes in pension and retiree medical plan valuation assumptions;(v)a $1.9 million increase in uncollectible accounts expense and(vi)$1.5 million in higher costs for weather protection products related to the District of Columbia. Partially offsetting these unfavorable variances were:(i)a $6.3 million decrease in recurring BPO costs;(ii)a $5.1 million increase in realized margins associated with our asset optimization program and(iii)a $3.7 million increase in revenues related to growth of more than 9,900 average customer meters.

     Asset optimization —We recorded net unrealized losses associated with our energy-related derivatives of $9.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 compared to net unrealized gains of $13.5 million for the same period of 2010. When these derivatives settle, any unrealized amounts will ultimately be reversed, and Washington Gas will realize margins in combination with the related transactions that these derivatives economically hedge. Partially offsetting these decreases were pre-tax realized margins related to our asset optimization program, which were $5.1 million higher for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2010. (Refer to the section entitled“Market Risk—Price Risk Related to the Regulated Utility Segment”for a further discussion of our asset optimization program).

     Customer growth —Average active customer meters increased by more than 9,900 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.

     Estimated weather effects —Weather, when measured by HDDs, was 6.1% and 2.0% colder than normal for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Washington Gas has a weather protection strategy that is designed to neutralize the estimated financial effects of variations from normal weather on net income (refer to the section entitled“Weather Risk”for further discussion of our weather protection strategy). Washington Gas executed heating degree day derivative contracts to manage its exposure to variations from normal weather in the District of Columbia. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are reflected in operation and maintenance expenses and offset the benefits reflected above. Including the effects of our weather protection strategy, there were no material effects on net income attributed to colder or warmer weather for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

     Impact of depreciation rate cases —New rates reflecting a lower provision for depreciation expense were effective on June 1, 2010 as a result of an order issued by the PSC of MD. This reduction is partially offset by lower depreciation expense.

     Operation and Maintenance Expenses. The following table provides the key factors contributing to the changes in operation and maintenance expenses of the regulated utility for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

Composition of Changes in Operation and Maintenance Expenses
	Increase/
(In millions)	(Decrease)
Employee benefits	$	2.1
Uncollectible accounts		1.9
Weather derivative benefits:
Loss		1.8
Premium costs and fair value effects		1.6
Operations, Engineering and Marketing		1.0
Business Process Outsourcing		(6.3	)
Other operating expenses		2.1
Total	$	4.2

     Employee benefits —The increase in benefit expenses reflects higher pension and other post-retirement benefits due to changes in pension and retiree medical plan valuation assumptions, partially offset by a $3.5 million loss recognized for a partial settlement of the SERP.

     Uncollectible accounts —The increase from prior year is due to a higher accrual rate for uncollectible expense in fiscal year 2011.

     Weather derivative benefits —The effects of hedging variations from normal weather in the District of Columbia for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are recorded to operation and maintenance expense. Washington Gas recorded losses of $2.6 million and $0.8 million related to its weather derivatives as a direct result of the colder-than-normal weather for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The benefits or losses of the weather-related instruments are offset by the effect of weather on utility net revenues. In addition, net premiums received related to the weather derivatives were lower due to market expectations of weather.

     Operations, engineering and marketing —The increase in operations, engineering and marketing costs during the nine months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of the prior year reflects higher labor costs due to an increase in the volume of projects.

     Business process outsourcing —The decrease in BPO costs during the nine months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of the prior year reflects a decrease in recurring service costs.

     Depreciation and Amortization.The following table provides the key factors contributing to the changes in depreciation and amortization of the regulated utility for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

     Depreciation expense decreased as a result of lower depreciation rates effective June 1, 2010 as approved in an order issued by the PSC of MD. This reduction decreases revenues; however, there is a timing difference between expense and revenue recognition in the interim periods of a fiscal year. Refer to the section entitled “Rates and Regulatory Matters — Depreciation Study” in the Management’s Discussion section of our 2010 Annual Report for further discussion of depreciation matters. Partially offsetting the decrease in MD depreciation rates is an increase in depreciation expense in all jurisdictions related to the increase in, and changes in, the asset mix of our investment in utility plant.

Non-Utility Operating Results

     Total earnings from our non-utility operations were $40.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 compared to net income of $14.8 million for the same nine-month period of the prior fiscal year. This comparison primarily reflects an increase in earnings from our retail energy-marketing and design-build energy systems segments.

     WGEServices reported net income of $42.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, compared to net income of $16.8 million reported for the same nine month period of the prior fiscal year.

     The year-to-date comparison primarily reflects the change in unrealized mark-to-market margins attributable to certain wholesale energy supply and retail sales contracts and an increase in realized electric and natural gas sales margins, partially offset by higher operating expenses. Period-to-period comparisons of year-to-date gross margins for this segment can vary significantly and are not necessarily representative of expected annualized results.

     Gross margins from natural gas sales increased $29.3 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This increase reflects a $20.7 million change in unrealized mark-to-market margins on energy-related derivatives resulting from fluctuating market prices and an increase in realized margins of $8.6 million due higher gas sales volumes driven by customer growth, unusually favorable market conditions for portfolio optimization activity this past winter, and improved unit margins on retail sales.

     Gross margins from electric sales increased $24.4 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. This increase reflects a $13.6 million change in unrealized mark-to-market margins on energy-related derivatives and a $10.8 million increase in realized margins due to higher electric sales volumes associated with customer growth and favorable pricing on electricity supply. Partially offsetting these increases were higher operating expenses due to higher marketing and salary expenses.

     Design-Build Energy Systems.The design-build energy systems segment reported net income of $0.1 million for the nine months of fiscal year 2011, compared to a net loss of $0.4 million reported for the nine month period of fiscal year 2010. This increase is due to the commencement of project work for government agency customers that was delayed in the prior fiscal year, partially offset by higher operating expenses due to higher labor expense associated with increased project work.

     WGL Holdings’ interest expense of $30.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 increased $0.6 million from $30.0 million for the same nine month period of the prior fiscal year. The increase for the period primarily reflects higher expense related to uncertain tax positions.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     General Factors Affecting Liquidity

     It is important for us to have access to short-term debt markets to maintain satisfactory liquidity to operate our businesses on a near-term basis. Acquisition of natural gas, electricity and pipeline capacity and the need to finance accounts receivable and storage gas inventory are our most significant short-term financing requirements. The need for long-term capital is driven primarily by capital expenditures and maturities of long-term debt.

     Our ability to obtain adequate and cost effective financing depends on our credit ratings as well as the liquidity of financial markets. Our credit ratings depend largely on the financial performance of our subsidiaries, and a downgrade in our current credit ratings could require us to post additional collateral with our wholesale counterparties and adversely affect our borrowing costs, as well as our access to sources of liquidity and capital. Also potentially affecting access to short-term debt capital is the nature of any restrictions that might be placed upon us, such as ratings triggers or a requirement to provide creditors with additional credit support in the event of a determination of insufficient creditworthiness. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, WGL Holdings met its liquidity and capital needs through the retention of earnings and the issuance of commercial paper and common stock. Washington Gas met its liquidity and capital needs through the retention of earnings and the issuance of commercial paper. Both WGL Holdings and Washington Gas believe that they will be able to meet their liquidity and capital needs through fiscal year 2011 through a mixture of operating earnings and issuances of commercial paper.

WGL Holdings, Inc.
Washington Gas Light Company
Part I—Financial Information
Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

     The level of our capital expenditure requirements, our financial performance, our credit ratings, and investor demand for our securities, affect the availability of long-term capital at reasonable costs.

     We have a goal to maintain our common equity ratio in the mid-50% range of total consolidated capital. The level of this ratio varies during the fiscal year due to the seasonal nature of our business. This seasonality is also evident in the variability of our short-term debt balances, which are typically higher in the fall and winter months and substantially lower in the spring when a significant portion of our current assets are converted into cash at the end of the winter heating season. Accomplishing this capital structure objective and maintaining sufficient cash flow are necessary to maintain attractive credit ratings for WGL Holdings and Washington Gas, and to allow access to capital at reasonable costs. At June 30, 2011, total consolidated capitalization, including current maturities of long-term debt and excluding notes payable, comprised 64.4% common equity, 1.4% preferred stock and 34.2% long-term debt. Our cash flow requirements and our ability to provide satisfactory resources to meet those requirements are primarily influenced by the activities of Washington Gas and WGEServices and, to a lesser extent, other non-utility operations.

     Our plans provide for sufficient liquidity to satisfy our financial obligations. At June 30, 2011, we did not have any restrictions on our cash balances or retained earnings that would affect the payment of common or preferred stock dividends by WGL Holdings or Washington Gas.

     Short-Term Cash Requirements and Related Financing

     Washington Gas’ business is weather sensitive and seasonal, causing short-term cash requirements to vary significantly during the year. Approximately 79% of the total therms delivered in Washington Gas’ service area (excluding deliveries to two electric generation facilities) occur during the first and second fiscal quarters. Accordingly, Washington Gas typically generates more net income in the first six months of the fiscal year than it does for the entire fiscal year.

     During the first six months of our fiscal year, Washington Gas generates large sales volumes and its cash requirements peak when accounts receivable and unbilled revenues are at their highest levels. During the last six months of our fiscal year, after the winter heating season, Washington Gas will typically experience a seasonal net loss due to reduced demand for natural gas. During this period, many of Washington Gas’ assets are converted into cash which Washington Gas generally uses to reduce and sometimes eliminate short-term debt and to acquire storage gas for the next heating season.

     Washington Gas, WGEServices and CEV have seasonal short-term cash requirements to fund the purchase of storage gas inventory in advance of the winter heating periods in which a large portion of the storage gas is sold. At June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, Washington Gas had balances in gas storage of $123.5 million and $169.3 million, respectively; WGEServices had balances in gas storage of $31.8 million and $66.2 million, respectively, and CEV had balances in gas storage of $52.4 million and $6.7 million, respectively. Washington Gas collects the cost of gas under cost recovery mechanisms approved by its regulators. WGEServices and CEV collect revenues that are designed to reimburse their commodity costs used to supply their retail customer and wholesale counterparty contracts. Variations in the timing of cash receipts from customers under these collection methods can significantly affect short-term cash requirements. In addition, Washington Gas, WGEServices and CEV pay their respective commodity suppliers before collecting the accounts receivable balances resulting from these sales. WGEServices and CEV derive their funding to finance these activities from short-term debt issued by WGL Holdings. Additionally, Washington Gas, WGEServices and CEV may be required to post cash collateral for certain purchases or provide parent guarantees from WGL Holdings for certain non-utility purchases.

     Variations in the timing of collections of gas costs under Washington Gas’ gas cost recovery mechanisms can significantly affect short-term cash requirements. At June 30, 2011, Washington Gas had an $2.1 million balance of unrecovered gas costs due from customers related to the most recent twelve month gas cost recovery cycle ended August 31, 2010. Most of this balance will be collected from customers in fiscal year 2011. Amounts under-collected or over-collected that are generated during the current gas cost recovery cycle are deferred as a regulatory asset or liability on the balance sheet until September 1st of each year, at which time the accumulated amount is transferred to gas costs due from/to customers as appropriate. At June 30, 2011, Washington Gas had a net regulatory liability balance related to the current gas recovery cycle of $15.5 million.

     WGL Holdings and Washington Gas utilize short-term debt in the form of commercial paper or unsecured short-term bank loans to fund seasonal cash requirements. Our policy is to maintain back-up bank credit facilities in an amount equal to or greater than our expected maximum commercial paper position. The following is a summary of our committed credit agreements at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010.

     WGL Holdings utilizes short-term debt in the form of commercial paper or unsecured short-term bank loans to meet its financing requirements including cash collateral requirements posted to counterparties associated with WGEServices’ and CEV’s contracts.

     At June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, WGL Holdings and its subsidiaries had outstanding notes payable in the form of commercial paper of $13.0 million and $100.4 million, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of 0.20% and 0.31%, respectively. Bank credit balances available to WGL Holdings and Washington Gas net of commercial paper balances were $387.0 million and $300.0 million at June 30, 2011 and $343.0 million and $256.6 million at September 30, 2010, respectively. Refer to Note 3—Short-Term Debtof the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

     To manage credit risk, Washington Gas, WGEServices and CEV may require deposits from certain customers and suppliers, which are reported as current liabilities in “Customer deposits and advance payments,” in the accompanying balance sheet. At June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, “Customer deposits and advance payments” totaled $63.8 million and $65.3 million, respectively. For both periods, most of these deposits related to customer deposits for Washington Gas.

     For Washington Gas, deposits from customers may be refunded to the depositor-customer at various times throughout the year based on the customer’s payment habits. At the same time, other customers make new deposits that cause the balance of customer deposits to remain relatively steady. There are no restrictions on Washington Gas’ use of these customer deposits. Washington Gas pays interest to its customers on these deposits in accordance with the requirements of its regulatory commissions.

     For WGEServices and CEV, deposits typically represent collateral for transactions with wholesale counterparties. These deposits may be required to be repaid or increased at any time based on the current value of WGEServices’ net position with the counterparty. Currently there are no restrictions on the use of deposited funds and interest is paid to the counterparty on these deposits in accordance with its contractual obligations. Refer to the section entitled “Credit Risk”for further discussion of our management of credit risk.

Long-Term Cash Requirements and Related Financing

     Our long-term cash requirements primarily depend upon the level of capital expenditures, long-term debt maturities and decisions to refinance long-term debt. Our capital expenditures primarily relate to adding new utility customers and system supply as well as maintaining the safety and reliability of Washington Gas’ distribution system. Refer to the section entitled“Capital Expenditures” for further discussion of our capital expenditures forecast and our 2010 Annual Report for further discussion of our long-term debt maturities.

     At June 30, 2011, Washington Gas had the capacity under a shelf registration to issue up to $375 million of additional Medium-Term Notes (MTNs). Washington Gas has authority from its regulators to issue other forms of debt, including private placements.

     On March 18, 2011, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (Standard & Poor’s) lowered the corporate credit ratings of WGL Holdings and Washington Gas from AA- to A+, and lowered its commercial paper ratings of WGL Holdings and Washington Gas from A-1+ to A-1. Standard & Poor’s also revised its ratings outlook for both WGL Holdings and Washington Gas from negative to stable.

     Ratings Triggers and Certain Debt Covenants

     WGL Holdings and Washington Gas pay fees on their credit facilities, which in some cases are based on the long-term debt ratings of Washington Gas. In the event the long-term debt of Washington Gas is downgraded below certain levels, WGL Holdings and Washington Gas would be required to pay higher fees. There are five different levels of fees. The credit facility for WGL Holdings defines its applicable fee level as one level below the level applicable to Washington Gas. Under the terms of the credit facilities, the lowest level facility fee is four basis points and the highest is eight basis points.

     Under the terms of WGL Holdings’ and Washington Gas’ credit agreements, the ratio of consolidated financial indebtedness to consolidated total capitalization cannot exceed 0.65 to 1.0 (65.0%). In addition, WGL Holdings and Washington Gas are required to inform lenders of changes in corporate existence, financial conditions, litigation and environmental warranties that might have a material adverse effect. The failure to inform the lenders’ agent of changes in these areas deemed material in nature might constitute default under the agreements. Additionally, WGL Holdings’ or Washington Gas’ failure to pay principal or interest when due on any other indebtedness may be deemed a default under our credit agreements. A default, if not remedied, may lead to a suspension of further loans and/or acceleration in which obligations become immediately due and payable. At June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our revolving credit facilities.

Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

     For certain of Washington Gas’ natural gas purchase and pipeline capacity agreements, if the long-term debt of Washington Gas is downgraded to or below the lower of a BBB- rating by Standard & Poor’s or a Baa3 rating by Moody’s Investors Service, or if Washington Gas is deemed by a counterparty not to be creditworthy, then the counterparty may withhold service or deliveries, or may require additional credit support. For certain other agreements, if the counterparty’s credit exposure to Washington Gas exceeds a contractually defined threshold amount, or if Washington Gas’ credit rating declines, then the counterparty may require additional credit support. At June 30, 2011, Washington Gas would not be required to supply additional credit support by these arrangements if its long-term debt rating was to be downgraded one rating level.

     WGL Holdings has guaranteed payments for certain purchases of natural gas and electricity on behalf of its wholly-owned subsidiaries; WGEServices and CEV (refer to our 2010 Annual Report for a further discussion of these guarantees). If the credit rating of WGL Holdings declines, WGEServices and CEV may be required to provide additional credit support for these purchase contracts. At June 30, 2011, WGEServices and CEV would not be required to provide additional credit support for these arrangements if the long-term debt rating of WGL Holdings was to be downgraded one rating level.

     Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities

     The primary drivers for our operating cash flows are cash payments received from natural gas and electricity customers, offset by our payments for natural gas and electricity costs, operation and maintenance expenses, taxes and interest costs.

     Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $363.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. Net cash provided by operating activities reflects net income before preferred stock dividends, as adjusted for non-cash earnings and charges and changes in working capital including:

• Accounts receivable and unbilled revenues—net increased $68.5 million from September 30, 2010, primarily due to increased sales volumes to customers during our winter heating season and increased sales volumes associated with Washington Gas’ asset optimization program.

• Storage gas inventory cost levels decreased $34.5 million from September 30, 2010 due to conversion to cash through seasonal physical withdrawals.

• Gas costs (current and deferred) and other regulatory assets / liabilities — net decreased $23.0 million from September 30, 2010 primarily due to the recovery of gas cost under collections related to the prior gas cost recovery cycle, increases in the liability for weather related billing adjustment mechanisms and recoveries in excess of gas costs incurred for the current gas recovery cycle.

• Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities increased $46.2 million, due to an increase in the prices and volumes of natural gas purchases and increased trading activity in CEV. Volumes increased both for deliveries to customers and for Washington Gas’ asset optimization program.

• Accrued taxes increased $22.9 million from September 30, 2010 primarily due to an increase in fuel taxes in Maryland and the District of Columbia.

• Other current liabilities, primarily related to derivative instruments, decreased $30.1 million primarily due to increases in energy price levels and an increase in electric swap volumes and the issuance of $11.3 million of common stock related to our share based compensation plan.

     Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities

     Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $94.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, reflecting the retirement of $30.0 million of long-term debt and $87.4 million of notes payable and our common and preferred stock dividend payments totaling $59.4 million, partially offset by our long-term debt issuance of $75.0 million.

     The 2011 to 2015 projected periods include $270.2 million for continued growth to serve new customers, and $342.3 million primarily related to the replacement and betterment of existing distribution facilities, including $114.0 million of expenditures for replacement projects intended to meet the requirements of the Virginia Steps to Advance Virginia’s Energy (SAVE) legislation as described in an application made by Washington Gas with the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC of VA) on August 4, 2010, and $18.4 million of expenditures for a mechanically coupled pipeline encapsulation program in the District of Columbia. Additionally, the projected period contains capital expenditures to construct a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) storage facility on land owned by Washington Gas in Chillum, Maryland (refer to the section entitled“Chillum LNG Facility"). Projected expenditures also reflect $68.3 million for the development of new office and operations facilities at the Springfield Operations Center and $339.1 million of other expenditures, which include general plant and various non-utility investments. Non-utility investments include additional commercial Solar PV facilities and investments in a tax partnership to directly fund residential Solar PV facilities.

     CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND OTHER COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS

     Contractual Obligations

     We have certain contractual obligations incurred in the normal course of business that require us to make fixed and determinable payments in the future. These commitments include long-term debt, lease obligations, unconditional purchase obligations for pipeline capacity, transportation and storage services, certain natural gas and electricity commodity commitments and our commitments related to the BPO program.

     Reference is made to the“Contractual Obligations, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Other Commercial Commitments”section of Management’s Discussion in our 2010 Annual Report for a detailed discussion of our contractual obligations. Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2010 Annual Report includes a discussion of long-term debt, including debt maturities. Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2010 Annual Report reflects information about the various contracts of Washington Gas and WGEServices.

Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

     There have been no significant changes to contractual obligations in the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2011.

     Construction Project Financing

     To fund certain of its construction projects, Washington Gas enters into financing arrangements with third party lenders. As part of these financing arrangements, Washington Gas’ customers agree to make principal and interest payments over a period of time, typically beginning after the projects are completed. Washington Gas assigns these customer payment streams to the lender. As the lender funds the construction project, Washington Gas establishes a note receivable representing its customers’ obligations to remit principal and interest and a long-term note payable to the lender. When these projects are formally “accepted” by the customer as completed, Washington Gas transfers the ownership of the note receivable to the lender and removes both the note receivable and the long-term financing from its financial statements. As of June 30, 2011, work on these construction projects that was not completed or accepted by customers was valued at $4.2 million, which is recorded on the balance sheet as a note receivable in “Deferred Charges and Other Assets—Other” with the corresponding long-term obligation to the lender in “Long-term debt.” At any time before these contracts are accepted by the customer, should there be a contract default, such as, among other things, a delay in completing the project, the lender may call on Washington Gas to fund the unpaid principal in exchange for which Washington Gas would receive the right to the stream of payments from the customer. Once the project is accepted by the customer, the lender will have no recourse against Washington Gas related to this long-term debt. Construction projects are financed primarily for government agencies, which Washington Gas considers to have minimal credit risk. Based on this minimal risk assessment and previous collection experience, Washington Gas considers these receivables to be collectible and did not record a corresponding reserve for bad debt at June 30, 2011.

     Financial Guarantees

     WGL Holdings has guaranteed payments primarily for certain purchases of natural gas and electricity on behalf of the retail energy-marketing segment. At June 30, 2011, these guarantees totaled $558.1 million. WGL Holdings has also guaranteed certain purchase commitments of its CEV subsidiary. At June 30, 2011, these guarantees totaled $88.4 million. The amount of such guarantees is periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the level of financial exposure related to these purchase commitments. We also receive financial guarantees or other collateral from counterparties when required by our credit policy. WGL Holdings also issued guarantees totaling $3.0 million at June 30, 2011 on behalf of certain of our non-utility subsidiaries associated with their banking transactions. Of the total guarantees of $649.5 million, $53.0 million is due to expire on October 31, 2011 and $36.0 million is due to expire on December 31, 2011. The remaining guarantees do not have specific maturity dates. For all of its financial guarantees, WGL Holdings may cancel any or all future obligations imposed by the guarantees upon written notice to the counterparty, but WGL Holdings would continue to be responsible for the obligations that had been created under the guarantees prior to the effective date of the cancellation.

     Chillum LNG Facility

     Washington Gas continues to incorporate in its plans construction of a proposed one billion cubic foot LNG storage facility on the land owned by Washington Gas in Chillum, Maryland, where natural gas storage facilities previously existed for meeting customers’ forecasted peak demand for natural gas. Subject to the resolution of certain legal and regulatory issues, the new storage facility is currently expected to be completed and in service by the 2015-2016 winter heating season at a total estimated cost of $159.0 million.

     In 2005, Washington Gas requested approval from the PSC of MD regarding the safety of the proposed facility and compliance with applicable federal regulations. In 2007, the Engineering Division of the PSC of MD confirmed the analysis that had been presented by Washington Gas and found the proposed facility to be safely sited. On March 19, 2009, the PSC of MD docketed a proceeding for the purpose of reviewing Washington Gas’ most recent gas procurement plan including the role the Chillum facility plays in meeting current and future customers’ annual and seasonal natural gas requirements. Refer to the section entitled “Rates and Regulatory Matters—Maryland Jurisdiction—Review of Washington Gas’ 2009-2013 Gas Portfolio Plan” for further discussion of this issue.

Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

     On October 30, 2006, the District Council of Prince George’s County, Maryland denied Washington Gas’ application for a special exception related to its proposed construction of the LNG peaking plant because of the District Council’s position that newly enacted zoning restrictions prohibit such construction. Washington Gas appealed this decision to the Prince George’s County Circuit Court (the Circuit Court) on November 22, 2006; however, the case was subsequently sent back to the administrative process by the Circuit Court. On April 16, 2008, Washington Gas filed a Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief with the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the U.S. District Court) seeking a declaratory judgment that all local laws relating to safety and location of the facility are preempted by Federal and State law. On March 26, 2010, the U.S. District Court denied Washington Gas’ motion for summary judgment; however, Washington Gas has filed an amended complaint and there will be further proceedings for consideration of the preemption issues raised by Washington Gas.

     Washington Gas must begin construction of the storage facility in the spring of 2012 in order for the Chillum Facility to be completed and in service by the 2015-2016 winter heating season. Until the LNG plant is constructed, Washington Gas has planned for alternative sources of supply to meet its customers’ peak day requirements. These plans include capital expenditures related to infrastructure improvements which contribute to providing for adequate system performance based on projected needs.

     Operating Issues Related To Cove Point Natural Gas Supply

     In late fiscal year 2003, Dominion reactivated its Cove Point LNG terminal. In June 2006, the FERC issued an order approving a request by Dominion to expand the capacity and output of its Cove Point LNG terminal by the end of 2008. Washington Gas has since filed several petitions with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit Court (the Court of Appeals), all of which have been denied, requesting a stay of action on the proposed expansion and further evidence from Dominion demonstrating the safety of Cove Point gas flowing through the Washington Gas distribution system. The Court of Appeals issued a decision on April 27, 2010 finding that the FERC had “satisfactorily ensured that the Expansion will not result in an increased risk of unsafe natural gas leakage” and therefore upheld the FERC decision and denied Washington Gas’ petition for review. Washington Gas did not appeal this decision.

     A large portion of the gas delivered from the Cove Point LNG terminal comes to the Washington Gas service territory as a result of Washington Gas’ multiple delivery points on the Cove Point pipeline and from three interstate natural gas transmission pipelines also interconnected with the Cove Point pipeline, each of which serves Washington Gas from delivery points downstream of its Cove Point pipeline interconnect. The composition of the vaporized LNG received from the Cove Point LNG terminal resulted in increased leaks in mechanical couplings on a portion of our distribution system that directly receives the Cove Point gas. The vaporized Cove Point gas contains a low concentration of heavy hydrocarbons (HHCs), which caused the seals on those mechanical couplings to shrink and to leak. Independent laboratory tests performed on behalf of Washington Gas have shown that, in a laboratory environment, the injection of HHCs into the type of gas coming from the Cove Point LNG terminal can be effective in re-swelling the seals in couplings which increases their sealing force and in turn, reduces the propensity for the affected couplings to leak.

     An additional expansion of the physical capacity of the Cove Point terminal could result in a substantial increase in the receipt of Cove Point gas into additional portions of Washington Gas’ distribution system as greater volumes of Cove Point gas are introduced into other downstream pipelines that provide service to Washington Gas. Based upon engineering and flow studies and our experience, any increase in the receipt of Cove Point gas is likely to result in a significantly greater number of leaks in other parts of Washington Gas’ distribution system, unless steps are taken to mitigate the effects of such flows. Gas supplies from Cove Point recently have declined; however, Washington Gas continues to mitigate the impact of low HHC gas from whatever source through accelerating the replacement of mechanically coupled pipeline and the operation of three HHC injection facilities.

     The current planned mechanical coupling remediation and replacement work includes a planned $62 million, 5-year, mechanically coupled pipe replacement program approved by the SCC of VA on April 21, 2011 as part of the Company’s SAVE filing and the continuation of the December 16, 2009 settlement in the District of Columbia that includes a targeted mechanically coupled pipe replacement and encapsulation program which will cost no more than $28.0 million and is expected to take approximately seven years to complete. Rate recovery of the expenditures has been approved by the SCC of VA and the District of Columbia Public Service Commission (PSC of DC). Additionally, Washington Gas has budgeted $8.0 million towards replacing mechanically coupled pipe in Maryland in fiscal year 2011.

Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

     Additional operating expenses and capital expenditures may be necessary to contend with leaks that may accompany the receipt of increased volumes of vaporized LNG from the Cove Point terminal into Washington Gas’ distribution system. Such additional operating expenses and capital expenditures may not be timely enough to mitigate the challenges posed by increased volumes of Cove Point gas potentially resulting in leakage from mechanical couplings at a rate that could compromise the safety of our distribution system. Additional legal or regulatory remedies may be necessary to protect the Washington Gas distribution system and its customers from the adverse effects of unblended vaporized LNG.

     Notwithstanding Washington Gas’ recovery of costs related to the construction of the injection facilities and HHC commodity costs through local regulatory commission action, Washington Gas has pursued remedies to keep its customers from having to pay more than their appropriate share of the costs of the remediation to maintain the safety of the Washington Gas distribution system.

     CREDIT RISK

     Wholesale Credit Risk

     Certain wholesale suppliers that sell natural gas to any or all of Washington Gas, WGEServices, and CEV may have relatively low credit ratings or may not be rated by major credit rating agencies.

     Washington Gas enters into transactions with wholesale counterparties for the purpose of meeting firm ratepayer commitments, to optimize the value of its long-term capacity assets, and for hedging natural gas costs. In the event of a counterparty’s failure to deliver contracted volumes of gas or fulfill its payment obligations, Washington Gas may incur losses that would typically be passed through to its sales customers under the purchased gas cost adjustment mechanisms. Washington Gas may be at risk for financial loss to the extent these losses are not passed through to its customers.

     For WGEServices, any failure of wholesale counterparties to deliver natural gas or electricity under existing contracts could cause financial exposure for the difference between the price at which WGEServices has contracted to buy these commodities and their replacement cost from another supplier. To the extent that WGEServices sells natural gas to these wholesale counterparties, WGEServices may be exposed to payment risk if WGEServices is in a net receivable position. Additionally, WGEServices enters into contracts with third parties to hedge the costs of natural gas and electricity. Depending on the ability of the third parties to fulfill their commitments, WGEServices could be at risk for financial loss.

     CEV enters into transactions with wholesale counterparties to optimize its portfolio of owned and managed natural gas assets. In the event of a counterparty’s failure to deliver contracted volumes or fulfill purchase obligations, CEV could be financially exposed to the difference between the price at which it had contracted to buy or sell these commodities and the replacement cost or sale price, respectively. In addition to price risk, CEV may be exposed to payment risk if it is in a net receivable position with counterparties. CEV enters into contracts with third parties to hedge the costs of natural gas. Depending on the ability of the third parties to fulfill their commitments, CEV could be at risk for financial loss.

     Washington Gas, WGEServices, and CEV have an existing credit policy that is designed to mitigate credit risks through a requirement for credit enhancements including, but not limited to, letters of credit, parent guarantees and cash collateral when deemed necessary. In accordance with this policy, Washington Gas, WGEServices and CEV have each obtained credit enhancements from certain of its counterparties. If certain counterparties or their guarantors meet the policy’s credit worthiness criteria, Washington Gas, WGEServices and CEV may grant unsecured credit to those counterparties or their guarantors. The credit worthiness of all counterparties is continuously monitored.

     Washington Gas, WGEServices and CEV are also subject to the collateral requirements of their counterparties. At June 30, 2011, Washington Gas, WGEServices and CEV had provided $19.2 million, $11.8 million and $16.5 million in cash collateral to counterparties, respectively.

^(c)Represents cash deposits and letters of credit received from counterparties, not adjusted for probability of default.

^(d)Using a percentage of the net exposure.

Retail Credit Risk

     Washington Gas is exposed to the risk of non-payment of utility bills by certain of its customers. To manage this customer credit risk, Washington Gas may require cash deposits from its high risk customers to cover payment of their bills until the requirements for the deposit refunds are met. In addition, Washington Gas implemented a Purchase of Receivables (POR) program as approved by the PSC of MD, whereby it purchases receivables from participating energy marketers at approved discount rates. Under the program, Washington Gas is exposed to the risk of non-payment by the retail customers for these receivables. This risk is factored into the approved discount rate at which Washington Gas purchases the receivables.

     WGEServices is also exposed to the risk of non-payment by its retail customers for both invoiced and unbilled sales. WGEServices manages this risk by evaluating the credit quality of certain new customers as well as by monitoring collections from existing customers. To the extent necessary, WGEServices can obtain collateral from, or terminate service to, its existing customers based on credit quality criteria. In addition, WGEServices participates in POR programs with certain Maryland and Pennsylvania utilities, whereby it sells its receivables to various utilities at approved discount rates. Under the POR programs, WGEServices is exposed to the risk of non-payment by its retail customers for delivered commodities that have not yet been billed. Once the invoices are billed, however, the associated credit risk is assumed by the purchasing utilities. While participation in POR programs reduce the risk of collection and fixes a discount rate on the receivables, there is a risk that the discount rate paid to participate in the POR program will exceed the actual bad debt expense and billing fees associated with these receivables.

     CEV is not subject to retail credit risk.

     MARKET RISK

     We are exposed to various forms of market risk including commodity price risk, weather risk and interest-rate risk. The following discussion describes these risks and our management of them.

     Price Risk Related to the Regulated Utility Segment

     Washington Gas faces price risk associated with the purchase of natural gas. Washington Gas generally recovers the cost of the natural gas to serve customers through gas cost recovery mechanisms as approved in jurisdictional tariffs; therefore a change in the price of natural gas generally has no direct effect on Washington Gas’ net income. However, Washington Gas is responsible for following competitive and reasonable practices in purchasing natural gas for its customers.

     To manage price risk associated with its natural gas supply to its firm customers, Washington Gas:(i)actively manages its gas supply portfolio to balance sales and delivery obligations;(ii)injects natural gas into storage during the summer months when prices are historically lower, and withdraws that gas during the winter heating season when prices are historically higher and(iii)enters into hedging contracts and other contracts that qualify as derivative instruments related to the sale and purchase of natural gas.

     Washington Gas executes commodity-related physical and financial contracts in the form of forwards, swaps and option contracts as part of an asset optimization program that is managed by its internal staff. These transactions are accounted for as derivatives. Under this program, Washington Gas realizes value from its long-term natural gas transportation and storage capacity resources when not fully being used to serve utility customers. Regulatory sharing mechanisms in all three jurisdictions allow the profit from these transactions to be shared between Washington Gas’ customers and shareholders.

     Price Risk Related to the Non-Utility Segments

     WGEServices.Our retail energy-marketing subsidiary, WGEServices, sells natural gas and electricity to retail customers at both fixed and indexed prices. WGEServices must manage daily and seasonal demand fluctuations for these products with its suppliers. Price risk exists to the extent WGEServices does not closely match the timing and volume of natural gas and electricity it purchases with the related fixed price or indexed sales commitments. WGEServices’ risk management policies and procedures are designed to minimize this risk.

     A portion of WGEServices’ annual natural gas sales volumes is subject to variations in customer demand associated with fluctuations in weather and other factors. Purchases of natural gas to fulfill retail sales commitments are generally made under fixed-volume contracts based on certain weather assumptions. If there is significant deviation from normal weather or other factors which affect customer usage, this may cause our purchase commitments to differ significantly from actual customer usage. To the extent that WGEServices cannot match its customer requirements and supply commitments, it may be exposed to commodity price and volume variances, which could negatively impact expected gross margins (refer to the section entitled“Weather Risk”for a further discussion of our management of weather risk). WGEServices may manage these risks through the use of derivative instruments including financial products and wholesale supply contracts that provide for volumetric variability.

     WGEServices procures electricity supply under contract structures in which WGEServices assumes the responsibility of matching its customer requirements with its supply purchases. WGEServices assembles the various components of supply, including electric energy from various suppliers, and capacity, ancillary services and transmission service from the PJM Interconnection, a regional transmission organization, to match its customer requirements in accordance with its risk management policy.

     To the extent WGEServices has not sufficiently matched its customer requirements with its supply commitments, it could be exposed to electricity commodity price risk. WGEServices may manage this risk through the use of derivative instruments, including financial products.

     WGEServices’ electric business is also exposed to fluctuations in weather and varying customer usage. Purchases generally are made under fixed-price, fixed-volume contracts that are based on certain weather assumptions. If there are significant deviations in weather or usage from these assumptions, WGEServices may incur price and volume variances that could negatively impact expected gross margins (refer to the section entitled“Weather Risk”for a further discussion of our management of weather risk).

     Other Non-Utility.CEV engages in wholesale commodity transactions to optimize its owned and managed capacity assets. CEV’s risk management policy requires it to closely match its forward physical and financial positions with its asset base, thereby minimizing its price risk exposure. Depending upon the nature of its forward hedges, CEV may be exposed to fluctuations in mark-to-market valuations based on changes in forward price curves.

     Value-at-Risk.WGEServices measures the market risk of its energy commodity portfolio by determining its value-at-risk. Value-at-risk is an estimate of the maximum loss that can be expected at some level of probability if a portfolio is held for a given time period. The value-at-risk calculation for natural gas and electric portfolios include assumptions for normal weather, new customers and renewing customers for which supply commitments have been secured. Based on a 95% confidence interval for a one-day holding period, WGEServices’ value-at-risk at June 30, 2011 was approximately $6,600 and $227,000, related to its natural gas and electric portfolios, respectively.

     Weather Risk

     We are exposed to various forms of weather risk in both our regulated utility and non-utility business segments. For Washington Gas, a large portion of its revenues is volume driven and its current rates are based upon an assumption of normal weather, however, billing adjustment mechanisms and weather derivatives described below address variations from this assumption. Without weather protection strategies, variations from normal weather will cause our earnings to increase or decrease depending on the weather pattern. Washington Gas currently has a weather protection strategy that is designed to neutralize the estimated financial effects of weather on its net income, as discussed below.

     The financial results of our non-utility energy-marketing business, WGEServices, are also affected by variations from normal weather primarily in the winter relating to its natural gas sales, and throughout the fiscal year relating to its electricity sales. WGEServices manages these weather risks with, among other things, weather derivatives.

     Billing Adjustment Mechanisms.In Maryland, Washington Gas has a revenue normalization adjustment (RNA) billing mechanism that is designed to stabilize the level of net revenues collected from Maryland customers by eliminating the effect of deviations in customer usage caused by variations in weather from normal levels and other factors such as conservation. In Virginia, Washington Gas has a Weather Normalization Adjustment (WNA) mechanism which is a billing adjustment mechanism that is designed to eliminate the effect of variations in weather from normal levels on utility net revenues. Additionally, as part of the Conservation and Ratemaking Efficiency Plan (CARE), Washington Gas has a CARE Ratemaking Adjustment (CRA) mechanism, which, coupled with the WNA, eliminates the effect of both weather and other factors such as conservation for residential customers in Virginia. In the District of Columbia, Washington Gas filed a revised tariff application seeking approval of an RNA. A commission decision was issued on December 17, 2010, wherein the Commission determined that it would be more appropriate to consider Washington Gas’ RNA proposal in the context of a fully litigated base rate case. Washington Gas filed an application for reconsideration on January 18, 2011, but the Commission affirmed its previous ruling. The PSC of DC denied Washington Gas’ application for reconsideration on February 28, 2011, affirming its previous rulings that the matter should be reviewed in a base rate case. For a discussion of current rates and regulatory matters, refer to the section entitled “Rates and Regulatory Matters” in Management’s Discussion for Washington Gas.

     For the RNA, WNA, and CRA mechanisms, periods of colder-than-normal weather generally would cause Washington Gas to record a reduction to its revenues and establish a refund liability to customers, while the opposite would generally result during periods of warmer-than-normal weather. However, factors such as volatile weather patterns and customer conservation may cause the RNA and the CARE adjustment to function conversely because they adjust billed revenues to provide a designed level of net revenue per meter.

     Weather Derivatives. On September 24, 2010, Washington Gas executed HDD weather derivatives to manage its financial exposure to variations from normal weather in the District of Columbia for fiscal year 2011. Washington Gas purchased protections against net revenue shortfalls due to warmer-than-normal weather and sold cold weather benefits.

     WGEServices utilizes HDD derivatives from time to time to manage weather risks related to its natural gas and electricity sales. WGEServices also utilizes cooling degree day (CDD) derivatives to manage weather risks related to its electricity sales during the summer cooling season. These derivatives cover a portion of WGEServices’ estimated revenue or energy-related cost exposure to variations in HDDs or CDDs. Refer to Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of the accounting for these weather-related instruments.

     Interest-Rate Risk

     We are exposed to interest-rate risk associated with our short-term and long-term financing. Washington Gas utilizes derivative instruments from time to time in order to minimize its exposure to the risk of interest-rate volatility. Refer to the section entitled “Long-Term Cash Requirements and Related Financing” for further discussion of our interest-rate risk management activity.

WASHINGTON GAS LIGHT COMPANY

     This section of Management’s Discussion focuses on the financial position and results of operations of Washington Gas for the reported periods. In many cases, explanations for the changes in financial position and results of operations for both WGL Holdings and Washington Gas are substantially the same.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 vs. June 30, 2010

     The results of operations for the regulated utility segment and Washington Gas are substantially the same; therefore, this section primarily focuses on statistical information and other information that is not discussed in the results of operations for the regulated utility segment. Refer to the section entitled“Results of Operations-Regulated Utility”in Management’s Discussion for WGL Holdings for a detailed discussion of the results of operations for the regulated utility segment.

     Washington Gas reported a net loss applicable to common stock of $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an improvement of $6.5 million from a net loss of $10.7 million for the same three month period in 2010. The decrease in net losses from the prior period are primarily due to:(i)a $3.5 million increase in unrealized margins associated with our asset optimization program;(ii)a $1.9 million improvement relating to the impact of the reduction in Maryland depreciation rates effective on June 1, 2010, creating a favorable timing difference between the recognition and recovery of depreciation expense;(iii)a $1.8 million decrease in recurring BPO costs;(iv)$1.6 million in favorable effects of changes in natural gas consumption patterns and(v)a $0.8 million increase in revenues related to growth of more than 10,200 average active customer meters. Partially offsetting these favorable variances were:(i)$2.3 million in higher depreciation expense due to the growth in, and mix of, our investment in utility plant;(ii)a $0.8 million decrease in realized margins associated with our asset optimization program and(iii)a $0.7 million decrease in the recovery of storage gas inventory carrying costs reflecting lower average inventory values.

     Key gas delivery, weather and meter statistics are shown in the table below for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

     Gas Service to Firm Customers.The volume of gas delivered to firm customers is highly sensitive to weather variability as a large portion of the natural gas delivered by Washington Gas is used for space heating. Washington Gas’ rates are based on an assumption of normal weather. The tariffs in the Maryland and Virginia jurisdictions include provisions that consider the effects of the RNA, WNA and CRA mechanisms, respectively, which are designed to, among other things, eliminate the effect on net revenues of variations in weather from normal levels (refer to the section entitled“Weather Risk”for further discussion of these mechanisms and other weather-related instruments included in our weather protection strategy).

     During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, total gas deliveries to firm customers were 176.0 million therms compared to 142.1 million therms delivered in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. This increase in natural gas deliveries to firm customers reflects effects of changes in natural gas consumption patterns, customer growth and more heating degree days in the current three-month period than in the same period of the prior year.

     Weather, when measured by HDDs, was 9.3% warmer than normal in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, compared to 27.7% warmer than normal for the same quarter of fiscal year 2010. Including the effects of our weather protection strategy, there were no material effects on net income attributed to colder or warmer than normal weather on either the quarter ended June 30, 2011 or June 30, 2010.

     Gas Service to Interruptible Customers.Washington Gas must curtail or interrupt service to this class of customer when the demand by firm customers exceeds specified levels. Therm deliveries to interruptible customers were 47.9 million therms during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, compared to 47.3 million therms for the same quarter last year, reflecting an increase in demand due to weather.

     In the District of Columbia, the effect on net income of any changes in delivered volumes and prices to interruptible customers is limited by margin-sharing arrangements that are included in Washington Gas’ rate designs in the District of Columbia. In the District of Columbia, Washington Gas shares a majority of the margins earned on interruptible gas sales and deliveries with firm customers. A portion of the fixed costs for servicing interruptible customers is collected through the firm customers’ rate design. Rates for interruptible customers in Maryland and Virginia are based on a traditional cost of service approach. In Virginia, Washington Gas retains all revenues above a pre-approved margin threshold level. In Maryland, Washington Gas retains a defined amount of revenues based on a set threshold.

     Gas Service for Electric Generation.Washington Gas delivers natural gas for use at two electric generation facilities in Maryland that are each owned by companies independent of WGL Holdings. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, deliveries to these customers decreased by 0.6 million therms, when compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Washington Gas shares with firm customers a significant majority of the margins earned from natural gas deliveries to these customers. Therefore, changes in the volume of interruptible gas deliveries to these customers do not materially affect either net revenues or net income.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — Nine Months Ended June 30, 2011 vs. June 30, 2010

     Washington Gas reported net income applicable to common stock was $107.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 a decrease of $13.6 million compared to $120.6 million for the same nine month period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in net income primarily reflects:(i) a $23.1 million decrease in unrealized margins associated with our asset optimization program;(ii)$5.1 million in higher depreciation expense due to the growth in, and mix of, our investment in utility plant;(iii)a $2.1 million decrease relating to the impact of the reduction in Maryland depreciation rates effective on June 1, 2010, creating a timing difference between the recognition and recovery of depreciation expense;(iv)$2.1 million in higher employee benefit expense primarily due to changes in pension and retiree medical plan valuation assumptions;(v)a $1.9 million increase in uncollectible accounts expense and(vi)$1.5 million in higher costs for weather protection products related to the District of Columbia. Partially offsetting these unfavorable variances were:(i)a $6.3 million decrease in recurring BPO costs;(ii)a $5.1 million increase in realized margins associated with our asset optimization program and(iii)a $3.7 million increase in revenues related to growth of more than 9,900 average customer meters.

     Key gas delivery, weather and meter statistics are shown in the table below for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

     Gas Service to Firm Customers.During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, total gas deliveries to firm customers were 1,274.7 million therms compared to 1,219.2 million therms delivered in the same period of the prior year. This increase in natural gas deliveries to firm customers reflects colder weather in the current nine-month period than in the same period of the prior fiscal year, customer growth and favorable effects of changes in natural gas consumption patterns.

     Weather, when measured by HDDs, was 6.1% colder than normal in the nine months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 2.0% colder than normal for the same period of the prior year. Including the effects of our weather protection strategy, there were no material effects on net income attributed to colder or warmer weather on either the nine months ended June 30, 2011 or June 30, 2010.

     Gas Service to Interruptible Customers.Washington Gas must curtail or interrupt service to this class of customer when the demand by firm customers exceeds specified levels. Therm deliveries to interruptible customers were 229.4 million therms during the nine months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 225.7 million therms for the same nine month period of the prior year, reflecting increased demand due to weather.

     In the District of Columbia, the effect on net income of any changes in delivered volumes and prices to interruptible customers is limited by margin-sharing arrangements that are included in Washington Gas’ rate designs in the District of Columbia. In the District of Columbia, Washington Gas shares a majority of the margins earned on interruptible gas sales and deliveries with firm customers. A portion of the fixed costs for servicing interruptible customers is collected through the firm customers’ rate design. Rates for interruptible customers in Maryland and Virginia are based on a traditional cost of service approach. In Virginia, Washington Gas retains all revenues above a pre-approved margin threshold level. In Maryland, Washington Gas retains a defined amount of revenues based on a set threshold.

     Gas Service for Electric Generation.Washington Gas delivers natural gas for use at two electric generation facilities in Maryland that are each owned by companies independent of WGL Holdings. During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, deliveries to these customers decreased by 0.7 million therms, when compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Washington Gas shares with firm customers a significant majority of the margins earned from natural gas deliveries to these customers. Therefore, changes in the volume of interruptible gas deliveries to these customers do not materially affect either net revenues or net income.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Liquidity and capital resources for Washington Gas are substantially the same as the liquidity and capital resources discussion included in the Management’s Discussion of WGL Holdings (except for certain items and transactions that pertain to WGL Holdings and its unregulated subsidiaries). Those explanations are incorporated by reference into this discussion.

     RATES AND REGULATORY MATTERS

     Washington Gas determines its request to modify existing rates based on the level of net investment in plant and equipment, operating expenses and the need to earn a just and reasonable return on invested capital. The following is a discussion of significant current regulatory matters in each of Washington Gas’ jurisdictions.

     District of Columbia Jurisdiction

     Affiliate Transactions Code of Conduct.On February 1, 2011, the PSC of DC issued an order adopting rules governing affiliate transactions code of conduct for regulated energy utilities and their affiliates. Included among the regulations are limitations on joint marketing with core service affiliates, and disclosure of customer-specific information, as well as restrictions on(i) favorable treatment of affiliates,(ii)the provision of loans and loan guarantees by the utility to an affiliate, and(iii)sharing and temporary assignment of electric company employees with an affiliate. These regulations also require the energy utilities to file Cost Allocation Manuals (CAM) with the PSC of DC demonstrating how they allocate and account for shared services with their affiliates. The CAM must be filed with the PSC of DC annually within four months of the close of the utility’s fiscal year.

     Maryland Jurisdiction

     Order on and Reviews of Purchased Gas Charges.Each year, the PSC of MD reviews the annual gas costs collected from customers in Maryland to determine if Washington Gas’ purchased gas costs are reasonable.

     The Office of the Staff of the PSC of MD (MD Staff) and the Maryland Office of the People’s Counsel (MD OPC) are challenging a portion of Washington Gas’ Purchased Gas Charges (PGC) for the twelve month period ended August 31, 2009 averring that Washington Gas did not have authority under its tariff to satisfy in cash its obligation (cash-out) for over-deliveries by suppliers over the 12-months ended March 2009 and also asserting that Washington Gas used an “excessive price” as the cash-out price. The MD Staff recommended that a second phase to the proceeding be initiated to investigate these assertions. Washington Gas has objected to both of these assertions. Discovery and testimony were filed in the case, and a hearing was held on March 25, 2010. The MD OPC has taken a position that $2.1 million of gas costs related to the purchase of competitive service provider (CSP) inventory included in the PGC should be disallowed. Briefs were filed April 30, 2010, and reply briefs were filed May 21, 2010. A proposed order was issued by the Hearing Examiner on August 25, 2010, finding that under the tariff, Washington Gas should have resolved supplier over-deliveries during the review period by adjusting future delivery volumes by suppliers, rather than by cash-out. The proposed order directed Washington Gas to refund to customers the excess costs paid to suppliers as a result of the cash-out of supplier over-deliveries. The proposed order also directed Washington Gas to present an “exact calculation” of the excess amount paid to suppliers in accordance with the methodology proposed by the MD OPC. The MD OPC had estimated the amount of the excess costs to Maryland ratepayers to be approximately $2.1 million. The proposed order directs Washington Gas to credit $2.1 million to the actual cost adjustment as recommended by the MD OPC. The MD Staff and Washington Gas filed notices of appeal of the proposed order on September 23 and 24, 2010, respectively, and memorandums on appeal on October 1 and 4, 2010, respectively. A decision from the PSC of MD is pending.

     Investigation of Asset Management and Gas Purchase Practices.On July 24, 2008, the Office of Staff Counsel of the PSC of MD (Staff Counsel) submitted a petition to the PSC of MD to establish an investigation into Washington Gas’ asset management program and cost recovery of its gas purchases. On September 4, 2008, the PSC of MD docketed a new proceeding to consider the issues raised in the petition filed by Staff Counsel. In accordance with the procedural schedule, Washington Gas filed direct testimony on November 21, 2008; direct testimony by intervening parties was filed on February 4, 2009, and Washington Gas’ rebuttal testimony was filed March 11, 2009. A public hearing was held on March 19, 2009. Initial briefs were filed by Washington Gas and other parties on June 25, 2009. Reply briefs were filed on August 3, 2009.

     On November 2, 2009, the Chief Hearing Examiner of the PSC of MD issued a Proposed Order of Hearing Examiner (POHE) which supports Washington Gas’ move to self-optimization of its gas assets, concluding that “the evidence on the record in this case is overwhelming that Washington Gas’ decision to transition to self-management has in fact been prudent and resulted in substantial rate benefits...” The POHE approved Washington Gas’ proposal for the sharing of margins from asset optimization between Washington Gas and customers based on a graduated, tiered approach. The POHE directed Washington Gas to pass credits to customers through the PGC provision.

     The POHE approved Washington Gas’ current methodology for pricing storage injections. However, the POHE stated that the parties will have 60 days from the date of a final order in the case to suggest any alternative pricing methods. The POHE strongly urged Washington Gas to consult with the other parties to develop greater transparency and separate accounting or tracking of asset optimization activities and to provide a proposal or report within 60 days after a final order is issued.

     The POHE directed Washington Gas to include language in its tariff that would prevent losses from asset optimization activity over a full year from being passed on to ratepayers, but recognizes that timing differences or accounting adjustments, which may appear as a loss in a particular month, may occur.

     On December 2, 2009, both the MD Staff and the MD OPC filed notices of appeal of the POHE and on December 14, 2009, both filed a memorandum on appeal in support of their positions. On January 4, 2010, Washington Gas filed a reply memorandum in response to the MD Staff and the MD OPC’s memoranda on appeal. A decision by the PSC of MD is pending.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

     Review of Washington Gas’ 2009 — 2013 Gas Portfolio Plan.On March 19, 2009, the PSC of MD docketed a proceeding to review Washington Gas’ 2009 — 2013 Gas Portfolio Plan, specifically noting Washington Gas’ plans to build an on-system peaking facility on the grounds of the decommissioned Chillum gas storage holders in Chillum, Maryland. Refer to the section entitled “Chillum LNG Facility” in Management’s Discussion for Washington Gas for further discussion of this matter. Upon consideration of a motion to combine review of Washington Gas’ Gas Portfolio Plans, on January 6, 2010, the PSC of MD consolidated this proceeding with Washington Gas’ 2010 — 2014 Gas Portfolio Plan, which was filed on November 17, 2009. Washington Gas announced on May 6, 2010, that it projected a new in-service date for the on-system peaking facility: the 2015-2016 winter heating season. As a result, the hearing examiner ruled that the facility is not subject to review as part of the Gas Portfolio Plans being considered in the current proceeding, which had a term from 2010 — 2014. The hearing examiner subsequently approved Washington Gas’ portfolio plan, including the reserve margins reflected in Washington Gas’ energy acquisition planning. Initial briefs were filed on August 13, 2010 and reply briefs were filed on September 17, 2010. On October 27, 2010, the hearing examiner issued a proposed order. The hearing examiner found:

(i)	the Gas Portfolio Plan proposed by Washington Gas for years 2009-2013 and 2010-2014 is reasonable;
(ii)	the design day forecasts contained in Washington Gas’ plans are correct and reasonable in determining the design day requirement;
(iii)	a reserve margin proposed by Washington Gas of 5.0% to 6.5% continues to be reasonable; and that
(iv)	some additional information should be filed along with all future plans.

     The proposed order became final on November 30, 2010 as it was not appealed by any party.

     New Base Rate Case

     On April 15, 2011, Washington Gas filed a request for a base rate increase of $30.0 million with the PSC of MD requesting authority to increase its rates and charges and to revise the terms and conditions applicable to gas service in Maryland.

     This application seeks to establish new base rates and charges that will increase annual operating revenues by approximately $30.0 million, resulting in an overall rate of return of 8.59% and a return on common equity of 10.45%. This compares to the overall rate of return of 8.2% and return on common equity of 10.0% as authorized by the PSC of MD in its Final Order issued to Washington Gas on November 16, 2007.

     Washington Gas has also included a request for approval of a rate adjustment mechanism to recover costs associated with the accelerated replacement of transmission and distribution pipe designed to enhance safety and system reliability. Washington Gas also proposes certain changes to its general service provisions which include the following areas:(i)payments;(ii)submetering;(iii)installation of service pipes and connections;(iv)economic evaluation of facilities extensions;(v)purchased gas charge and(vi)automatic payment plan. In addition, Washington Gas also proposed two new general service provisions pertaining to the balancing for natural gas-fired generating stations and the implementation of the accelerated pipe replacement plan rider. Washington Gas also seeks to increase its research and development funding through programs sponsored by the Gas Technology Institute.

     On April 18, 2011, Washington Gas received an order from the PSC of MD related to this rate filing suspending the proposed rates and charges and the proposed changes in the terms and conditions for gas service for an initial period of 150 days following the 30 day notice period, as permitted under the Code of Maryland. The case is currently in the discovery phase. Intervenors filed their initial testimony in July 2011. New rates are expected to go into effect in November 2011.

     Conservation and Ratemaking Efficiency Plan.On September 29, 2009, Washington Gas filed with the SCC of VA an application which included a portfolio of conservation and energy efficiency programs, an associated cost recovery provision, and a decoupling mechanism which will adjust weather normalized non-gas distribution revenues for the impact of conservation or energy efficiency efforts. An evidentiary hearing in the proceeding was held on February 9, 2010. On March 26, 2010 the SCC of VA issued an Order approving a decoupling rate mechanism for residential customers and six residential energy efficiency programs and the cost recovery mechanism for those programs. Washington Gas filed compliance tariffs with the VA Staff on April 19, 2010 to implement the Conservation and Ratemaking Efficiency Plan on May 1, 2010. Washington Gas began applying the decoupling mechanism in Virginia in its July billings for residential customers consistent with the SCC of VA’s approval. On July 22, 2010, Washington Gas filed an amendment to the CARE Plan to include small commercial and industrial customers in Virginia. The application included a portfolio of conservation and energy efficiency programs, an associated cost recovery provision and a decoupling mechanism that will adjust weather normalized non-gas distribution revenues for the impact of conservation or energy efficiency efforts. In accordance with the procedural schedule established for the proceeding, the VA Staff filed its report on September 13, 2010 and Washington Gas filed its response to the VA Staff report on September 24, 2010. On November 18, 2010, the SCC of VA issued an order that denied Washington Gas’ application. The SCC of VA found that Washington Gas’ current tariff and its underlying class cost of service and revenue apportionment studies do not segregate small versus large customers and that only small customers qualify under the CARE law. The SCC of VA stated that Washington Gas could amend the underlying tariff and studies in connection with its required 2011 base rate case filing. Such a tariff amendment was proposed in the filing made with the SCC of VA on January 31, 2011, and noted below.

     Steps to Advance Virginia’s Energy Plan (SAVE).On August 4, 2010 Washington Gas filed an application (and supplemental testimony on October 25, 2010) with the SCC of VA for approval of a SAVE Plan which included four gas utility infrastructure replacement programs and a SAVE rider to recover certain costs associated with the replacement programs. An evidentiary hearing was held on March 8, 2011. On April 21, 2011, the SCC of VA issued an Order approving Washington Gas’ proposed five year SAVE Plan encompassing a total of $116.5 million in expenditures for the four replacement programs for the period from June 2010 to December 31, 2014. The SCC of VA also approved a SAVE rider to recover the costs of the replacement programs, effective for bills rendered on or after May 1, 2011. The SCC of VA also established a schedule for Washington Gas’ SAVE rider filings for the approved SAVE Plan.

     New Base Rate Case

     On January 31, 2011, Washington Gas filed a request with the SCC of VA for a $29.6 million annual increase in revenues. The filing was made pursuant to the settlement agreement reached by the parties and approved by the SCC of VA in Washington Gas’ last base rate case, which resulted in a Performance-Based Rate (PBR) plan. The filing made in January 2011 did not request either renewal or modification of the PBR plan; rather, the filing was based on traditional cost of service regulation. New rates cannot go into effect until after October 1, 2011, per the settlement agreement referenced above.

     The $29.6 million revenue increase requested in this application included a proposed overall rate of return of 8.58% and a return on common equity of 10.5%, as compared to a return on common equity of 10.0% in Washington Gas’ last base rate proceeding. On May 12, 2011, Washington Gas filed a revised base rate increase request lowering the requested revenue increase from $29.6 million to $28.5 million as a result of new proposed depreciation rates.

     Washington Gas proposes to continue the Weather Normalization Adjustment, which was previously approved by the SCC of VA. Washington Gas also proposes a new sharing arrangement associated with its asset optimization program, and seeks to increase its research and development funding through programs sponsored by The Gas Technology Institute. In addition, the application includes various tariff revisions related to(i)payment processing,(ii)installation of service pipes and connections,(iii)economic evaluation of facilities extensions,(iv)Purchase Gas Charge,(v)automated payment plan, (vi) developmental natural gas vehicle service,(vii)balancing for natural gas-fired generating stations, and(viii)Rate Schedule Nos. 5, 5A and 6 pertaining to large non-residential customers.

     Hearings have been scheduled for November 16, 2011.

     Performance-Based Rate Plans

     In rate case proceedings in all local jurisdictions in 2006 and 2007, Washington Gas previously requested permission to implement PBR plans that include performance measures for customer service and an Earnings Sharing Mechanism (ESM) that enables Washington Gas to share with shareholders and customers the earnings that exceed a target rate of return on equity.

     Effective October 1, 2007, the SCC of VA approved the implementation of a PBR plan through the acceptance of a settlement stipulation, which includes:(i)a four-year base rate freeze;(ii) service quality measures to be determined in conjunction with the VA Staff and reported quarterly for maintaining a safe and reliable natural gas distribution system while striving to control operating costs;(iii)recovery of initial implementation costs associated with achieving Washington Gas’ BPO initiatives over the four-year period of the PBR plan and(iv)an ESM that enables Washington Gas to share with shareholders and Virginia customers the earnings that exceed a target of 10.5% return on equity. The calculation of the ESM excludes $2.4 million of asset management revenues that are being refunded to customers as part of a new margin sharing agreement in Virginia.

     On January 28, 2010, Washington Gas indicated in its annual information filing that there was no ESM liability for fiscal year 2009. On June 30, 2010, the SCC of VA accepted the VA Staff’s report and agreed that there was no ESM liability for fiscal year 2009.

     Based on the results reflected in the annual information filing, Washington Gas has recorded a regulatory asset of approximately $0.5 million of previously expensed hexane costs and on June 23, 2010, filed an application with the SCC of VA requesting the authority to bill the cost of this hexane to customers in accordance with the provision of the Settlement Stipulation in the last rate proceeding. On July 22, 2010, the SCC of VA issued an Order for Notice and Comment in this proceeding. Washington Gas filed direct testimony on August 18, 2010 and the VA Staff issued its report on October 21, 2010. The VA Staff found that Washington Gas’ request to recover $0.5 million of hexane costs would not result in earnings exceeding Washington Gas’ 10.0% allowed rate of return on average common equity threshold and therefore Washington Gas should be allowed to bill the amounts. Washington Gas filed its response to the VA Staff’s report on November 4, 2010. On December 15, 2010, the SCC of VA issued an Order approving the Washington Gas proposed billing of the cost of hexane.

     On January 31, 2011, Washington Gas filed its annual information filing indicating that there was no ESM liability for fiscal year 2010. The matter is pending before the SCC of VA.

     The existing PBR Plan in Virginia will expire on September 30, 2011, and Washington Gas has not proposed to extend the Plan.

     On November 16, 2007, the PSC of MD issued a final order in a rate case, which established a phase-two proceeding to review Washington Gas’ request to implement a PBR plan and issues raised by the parties associated with Washington Gas’ BPO agreement. On September 4, 2008, a POHE was issued in this phase-two proceeding. Consistent with Washington Gas’ current accounting methodology, the proposed order approved 10-year amortization accounting for initial implementation costs related to Washington Gas’ BPO plan. At June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, Washington Gas had recorded a regulatory asset of $5.8 million and $6.4 million, respectively, net of amortization, related to initial implementation costs allocable to Maryland associated with our BPO plan. Washington Gas’ application seeking approval of a PBR plan was denied. Additionally, the proposed order(i)directs Washington Gas to obtain an independent management audit related to BPO issues raised in the phase-two proceeding and(ii)directs the initiation of a collaboration process in which Washington Gas is directed to engage in discussions with the MD Staff, the MD OPC and interested parties to develop appropriate customer service metrics and a periodic form for reporting results similar to the metrics filed by Washington Gas as part of the approved settlement in Virginia. Aspects of this proposed order were appealed by the parties in November 2008. A final decision by the PSC of MD is pending.

     The final order issued by the PSC of DC on December 28, 2007 approved amortization accounting for initial implementation costs related to the BPO plan in approving the stipulated agreement filed in the base rate case proceeding. As part of that approved agreement, Washington Gas withdrew its application seeking approval of a PBR plan and is prohibited from seeking approval of a PBR plan in the District of Columbia until the filing of its next base rate case.
