PENN VIRGINIA CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Unaudited
March 31, 2004

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Penn Virginia Corporation (Penn Virginia, the Company, we or our), all wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, and Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. (the Partnership or PVR) of which we indirectly own the two percent general partner interest and approximately 42.5 percent limited partner interest. Penn Virginia Resource GP, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Penn Virginia, serves as the Partnership's sole general partner. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations. These statements involve the use of estimates and judgments where appropriate. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Our accounting policies are consistent with those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, except as discussed below. Please refer to such Form 10-K for a further discussion of those policies. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2004. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to the current period's presentation.

2. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based Compensation
We have stock compensation plans that allow, among other grants, incentive and nonqualified stock options to be granted to key employees and officers and nonqualified stock options to be granted to directors. We account for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost related to stock options is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if we had applied the fair value recognition provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee options.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 2003

Net income, as reported $ 10,142 $ 10,486 Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net income related to restricted

3. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The Standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal use of such assets.

The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is also added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through charges to accretion expense, which is recorded as additional depreciation, depletion and amortization. If the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, we will recognize a gain or loss on settlement.

Below is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending aggregate carrying amount of our asset retirement obligations as of March 31, 2004 (in thousands).

Balance, January 1, 2004 $ 3,389 Liabilities incurred in the current period 81 Liabilities settled in the current period (2) Accretion expense 53 Balance, March 31, 2004 $ 3,521

4. HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Commodity Cash Flow Hedges

Based upon our assessment of our derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges at March 31, 2004, we reported (i) a hedging liability of approximately $4.8 million and (ii) a loss in accumulated other comprehensive income of $3.1 million, net of a related income tax benefit of $1.7 million. In connection with monthly settlements, we recognized net hedging losses in natural gas and oil revenues of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Based upon future oil and natural gas prices as of March 31, 2004, $4.5 million of hedging losses are expected to be realized within the next 12 months. The amounts ultimately realized will vary due to changes in the fair value of the open derivative contracts prior to settlement. We recognized net hedging losses of $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

Interest Rate Swap
In conjunction with its 5.77 percent senior unsecured notes, PVR entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $30 million to hedge a portion of the fair value of those notes which mature over a ten year period. This swap is designated as a fair value hedge and has been reflected as a decrease of long-term debt of approximately $13 thousand as of March 31, 2004, with a corresponding increase in long-term hedging liabilities. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the counterparty pays PVR a fixed annual rate of 5.77 percent on a total notional amount of $30 million, and PVR pays the counterparty a variable rate equal to the floating interest rate which will be determined semi-annually and will be based on the six month London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.36 percent.

10. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segment information has been prepared in accordance with SFAS No. 131 Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Under SFAS No. 131, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief decision maker, or decision-making group, in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision-making group consists of the Chief Executive Officer and other senior officials. This group routinely reviews and makes operating and resource allocation decisions among our oil and gas operations and its coal royalty and land management operations. Accordingly, our reportable segments are as follows:

Oil and Gas - crude oil and natural gas exploration, development and production.

Coal Royalty and Land Management - the leasing of mineral interests and subsequent collection of royalties and the development and harvesting of timber.

Corporate and Other - primarily represents corporate functions.

11. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

A reporting issue has arisen regarding the application of certain provisions of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets to companies in the extractive industries, including oil and gas and coal industry companies. The issue is whether SFAS No. 142 requires registrants to classify the costs of mineral rights as intangible assets in the balance sheet, apart from other capitalized oil and gas property and coal property costs, and provide specific footnote disclosures. The Emerging Issues Task Force has added the treatment of oil and gas mineral rights to an upcoming agenda, which may result in a change in how we are currently classifying these assets. In April 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a FASB Staff Position, which amends certain sections of SFAS No. 141 and No. 142 relating to the characterization of coal mineral rights. Beginning in the second quarter of 2004, the Partnership will reclassify its leased coal mineral rights back to tangible property.

Oil and Gas Mineral Rights. Historically, we have included the costs of mineral rights associated with extracting oil and gas as a component of oil and gas properties under SFAS No. 19. Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies. If it is ultimately determined that SFAS No. 142 requires oil and gas companies to classify costs of mineral rights associated with extracting oil and gas as a separate intangible assets line item on the balance sheet, we would be required to reclassify approximately $156 million and $157 million as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, out of oil and gas properties and into a separate line item for oil and gas mineral interest. Our cash flows and results of operations would not be affected since such intangible assets would continue to be depleted and assessed for impairment in accordance with successful efforts accounting rules. Further, we do not believe the classification of the costs of mineral rights associated with extracting oil and gas as intangible assets would have any impact on our compliance with covenants under our debt agreements.

Coal Mineral Rights. Based on the application of certain provisions of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142, the Partnership has classified costs associated with the leasing of coal reserves acquired after June 30, 2001 as an intangible asset in other assets on the balance sheet, apart from other capitalized property costs. The amount capitalized related to a mineral right represents its fair value at the time such right was acquired less accumulated amortization. The transition provisions of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 only require the reclassification of amounts acquired after the June 30, 2001 effective date, unless previously maintained records make it possible to reclassify rights acquired prior to that date. Prior to June 30, 2001, the Partnership did not separately allocate acquisition costs between owned mineral interests (tangible property) and leased mineral rights (intangible property), as such interests were part of the same coal seams. Accordingly, the Partnership only classified coal mineral rights acquired after June 30, 2001 as an intangible asset in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On May 4, 2004, our Board of Directors declared a two-for-one split of the Company's Common Stock. To affect the split, one additional share of Common Stock will be distributed on June 10, 2004 for each share of Common Stock held of record at the close of business on June 3, 2004.
