ALLIANT ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Alliant Energy, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The consolidated financial statements include Alliant Energy and its consolidated subsidiaries (including IESU, WP&L, IPC, Resources and Corporate Services). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in Alliant Energy's, IESU's and WP&L's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair presentation of (a) the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, (b) the consolidated financial position at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, and (c) the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, have been made. Because of the seasonal nature of Alliant Energy's utility operations, results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. 2. Alliant Energy's comprehensive income (loss), and the components of other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, for the three and nine months ended September 30 were as follows (in thousands): <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three Months Nine Months -------------------------------- ----------------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ------------- --------------- -------------- ------------ <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> Net income $62,285 $276,248 $118,970 $337,846 Other comprehensive loss: Unrealized losses on securities: Unrealized holding losses arising during (105,306) (63,414) period, net of tax (1) (132,251) (335,391) Less: adjustment for gain on reclassification of investments included in net income, net of tax (2) -- 187,296 -- 187,296 Less: reclassification adjustment for other gains included in net income, net of tax 12 238 12 6,566 ------------- --------------- -------------- ------------ Net unrealized losses on securities (105,318) (319,785) (335,403) (257,276) ------------- --------------- -------------- ------------ Foreign currency translation adjustments (45,557) (22,335) (115,352) (40,553) ------------- --------------- -------------- ------------ Unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives qualified as hedges: Unrealized holding losses arising during period due to cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, net of tax -- (6,582) -- (6,582) Other unrealized holding gains (losses) arising during period, net of tax 11,591 (177) (573) (177) Less: reclassification adjustment for gains (losses) included in net income, net of tax 1,508 (3,535) (2,274) (3,535) ------------- --------------- -------------- ------------ Net unrealized gains (losses) on qualifying derivatives 10,083 (3,224) 1,701 (3,224) ------------- --------------- -------------- ------------ Other comprehensive loss (140,792) (345,344) (449,054) (301,053) ------------- --------------- -------------- ------------ Comprehensive income (loss) ($78,507) ($69,096) ($330,084) $36,793 ============= =============== ============== ============ </TABLE> (1) Primarily due to quarterly adjustments to the estimated fair value of Alliant Energy's investments in available-for-sale securities of McLeod and Capstone. 8
(2) With the adoption of SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," on July 1, 2000, Alliant Energy recorded pre-tax net income of $321 million in the third quarter of 2000, relating to the unrealized appreciation in value of the 15.6 million shares of its McLeod stock holdings that it reclassified from available-for-sale to trading securities. 3. Various differences exist between segment reporting information for the non-regulated businesses and Resources' information in Alliant Energy's condensed consolidating financial statements in Note 9 due to Alliant Energy's investment in Cargill-Alliant being recorded on Alliant Energy's parent-only books for legal reporting, but included with the non-regulated businesses information for segment reporting (Alliant Energy considers this business as part of its non-regulated businesses for management reporting). The "Net income (loss)" line item was impacted. The "Net income (loss)" line item is not allocated to the electric and gas segments for management reporting purposes and therefore is included in "Other Regulated Domestic Utilities." Intersegment revenues were not material to Alliant Energy's operations. Certain financial information relating to Alliant Energy's significant business segments is as follows: <TABLE> <CAPTION> Regulated Domestic Utilities Non- Alliant ------------------------------------------------ regulated Energy Electric Gas Other Total Businesses Other Consolidated --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands) <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> Three Months Ended September 30, 2001 ------------------------------------- Operating revenues $519,851 $42,979 $8,883 $571,713 $96,031 ($1,479) $666,265 Operating income (loss) 132,753 (6,092) 2,474 129,135 4,731 (140) 133,726 Net income (loss) 69,514 69,514 (4,429) (2,800) 62,285 Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 ------------------------------------- Operating revenues $480,763 $41,369 $8,507 $530,639 $73,255 ($702) $603,192 Operating income (loss) 143,962 (2,938) 1,613 142,637 (2,704) 88 140,021 Net income (loss) 68,378 68,378 208,038 (168) 276,248 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001 ------------------------------------ Operating revenues $1,367,281 $396,229 $28,297 $1,791,807 $342,831 ($3,819) $2,130,819 Operating income 249,036 8,292 4,955 262,283 28,191 546 291,020 Net income (loss) 124,907 124,907 329 (6,266) 118,970 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 ------------------------------------ Operating revenues $1,248,228 $226,156 $24,085 $1,498,469 $204,559 ($1,889) $1,701,139 Operating income (loss) 268,834 11,167 4,133 284,134 4,490 (46) 288,578 Net income (loss) 127,487 127,487 213,898 (3,539) 337,846 </TABLE> Resources' (i.e., the non-regulated businesses) assets decreased $543 million during the first nine months of 2001, primarily due to the decrease in market value of its investment in McLeod, which was partially offset by additional non-regulated investments during 2001. Non-regulated net income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 included after-tax charges to net income of $12.6 million and $19.6 million, respectively, for non-cash valuation adjustments related to Alliant Energy's obligation under certain 30-year exchangeable senior notes. Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 included $204 million (primarily all at Alliant Energy's non-regulated businesses) relating to Alliant Energy's adoption of a new accounting pronouncement, SFAS 133, on July 1, 2000. 4. The provisions for income taxes are based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, which differs from the federal statutory rate of 35 percent principally due to state income taxes, the impact of foreign income and associated taxes, tax credits, effects of utility rate making and certain non-deductible expenses. 9
5. In January 2001, Resources acquired a stake in another Brazilian electric utility. As of September 30, 2001, the total investment in this Brazilian electric utility was approximately $93 million, of which approximately $60 million was paid in January 2001 and the remainder is expected to be paid by the end of the first quarter of 2002. This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. WP&L, including South Beloit, transferred its transmission assets with no gain or loss (approximate net book value of $186 million) to ATC on January 1, 2001. In the second quarter of 2001, WP&L received cash of $75 million and at September 30, 2001, had a $106 million equity investment in ATC, with an ownership percentage of approximately 26.5 percent. WP&L accounts for its investment in ATC under the equity method. 6. Alliant Energy continues to utilize derivative instruments to manage its exposures to various market risks as described in Alliant Energy's, IESU's and WP&L's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. The following information supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, Note 10(a) in Alliant Energy's "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in the 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, income of $2.1 million was recognized relating to the amount of hedge ineffectiveness in accordance with SFAS 133. As of September 30, 2001, the maximum length of time over which Alliant Energy is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is six months and Alliant Energy estimates that income of $5.1 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings within the twelve months between October 1, 2001 and September 30, 2002 as the hedged transactions affect earnings. Included in "Miscellaneous, net" in Alliant Energy's Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was expense of $208.9 million related to the change in value of the McLeod trading securities, partially offset by income of $179.8 million related to the change in value of the derivative component of the exchangeable senior notes. 7. In March 2001, IESU issued $200 million of senior unsecured debentures at a fixed interest rate of 6-3/4%, due 2011. IESU used the net proceeds to repay short- and long-term debt. 8. A reconciliation of the weighted average common shares outstanding used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30 was as follows: <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three Months Nine Months ------------------------------- ------------------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ------------- -------------- ------------- ------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> Weighted average common shares outstanding: Basic earnings per share calculation 79,240,093 79,003,569 79,107,304 79,000,683 Effect of dilutive securities 109,964 156,164 133,965 201,033 Diluted earnings per share calculation 79,350,057 79,159,733 79,241,269 79,201,716 </TABLE> For the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, 1,368,801 and 1,644,377 options, respectively, to purchase shares of common stock, with an average exercise price of $31.20 and $30.15, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise prices were greater than the average market price. 9. Alliant Energy has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the payment of principal and interest on various debt issued by Resources and, as a result, is required to present condensed consolidating financial statements. No other Alliant Energy subsidiaries are guarantors of Resources' debt issuances. Alliant Energy's condensed consolidating financial statements are as follows: 10

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The primary first tier subsidiaries of Alliant Energy include: IESU, WP&L, IPC, Resources and Corporate Services. Among various other regulatory constraints, Alliant Energy is operating as a registered public utility holding company subject to the limitations imposed by PUHCA. This MD&A includes information relating to Alliant Energy, IESU and WP&L (as well as IPC, Resources and Corporate Services). Where appropriate, information relating to a specific entity has been segregated and labeled as such. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report as well as the financial statements, notes and MD&A included in Alliant Energy's, IESU's and WP&L's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Statements contained in this report (including MD&A) that are not of historical fact are forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such statements. Some, but not all, of the risks and uncertainties include: factors listed in the "Outlook" section; weather effects on sales and revenues; general economic conditions in the utility subsidiaries' service territories; federal, state and international regulatory or government actions, including issues associated with the deregulation of the domestic utility industry and the setting of rates and recovery of costs; unanticipated construction and acquisition expenditures; issues related to stranded costs and the recovery thereof; unanticipated issues related to the supply of purchased electricity and price thereof; adverse fluctuations in the price of oil and natural gas; unexpected issues related to the operations of Alliant Energy's nuclear facilities; unanticipated costs associated with certain environmental remediation efforts being undertaken by Alliant Energy; Alliant Energy's ability to successfully implement its growth strategy, including the acquisition and operation of foreign companies; unanticipated developments that adversely impact Alliant Energy's strategy to grow its non-regulated businesses; Alliant Energy's ability to identify and successfully complete acquisitions and development projects; material changes in the value of Alliant Energy's investments; technological developments; employee workforce factors, including changes in key executives, collective bargaining agreements or work stoppages; political, legal, economic and exchange rate conditions in foreign countries in which Alliant Energy has investments; and changes in the rate of inflation. UTILITY INDUSTRY REVIEW A summary of the current regulatory environment is included in the Form 10-K filed by Alliant Energy, IESU and WP&L for the year ended December 31, 2000. Set forth below are several developments relating to such regulatory environment that have occurred since the start of the current year. Overview - In September 2001, six electric utility companies, including IESU - -------- and IPC, filed an application with FERC to create TRANSLink, a for-profit, transmission-only company. A ruling is expected from FERC in the first quarter of 2002. The participants have requested that FERC expedite consideration of the application so that TRANSLink could commence operations by 2002. Current plans call for IESU and IPC to contribute their transmission assets, which have an estimated book value of $300 million, to TRANSLink in exchange for a corresponding ownership interest in TRANSLink. The TRANSLink proposal is subject to receipt of all required federal and state regulatory approvals. Rates and Regulatory Matters - In 2000, the NRC raised several areas of concern - ---------------------------- with Kewaunee's operations. Addressing the concerns is expected to result in additional operating costs to WP&L in 2001 and 2002 through 2005 of approximately $7 million and $25 million, respectively. In April 2001, the PSCW approved the deferral of such incremental costs incurred after March 27, 2001. In July 2001, WP&L requested a $19 million retail electric rate increase from the PSCW to recover a portion of the costs associated with the increased Kewaunee operating costs and costs associated with the replacement of the steam generators at Kewaunee. WP&L expects that 28
the remainder of the additional operating costs related to Kewaunee will be recovered through future base rate filings with the PSCW. The last of the price freezes impacting Alliant Energy's utility subsidiaries, which stem from the 1998 three-way merger, will expire in the second quarter of 2002. In August 2001, WP&L filed a $114 million base rate increase request with the PSCW related to its investments in reliability, customer service, technology and environmental upgrades, as well as investments in its infrastructure. In September 2001, WP&L filed a request with the PSCW to consolidate the $19 million request for increased Kewaunee operating costs with the new base rate increase request of $114 million. These filings apply to retail electric ($105 million), natural gas ($26 million) and water ($2 million) rates. Also in September 2001, WP&L filed a request with the PSCW, along with three other Wisconsin utilities, for an increase in rates of $16 million for incremental costs associated with the start-up and ongoing operations of ATC. WP&L expects that any rate increases from these filings will be effective on or around April 15, 2002. WP&L cannot provide any assurance that the PSCW will grant the requested rate increases or, if granted, that the rate increases will be at the requested levels. WP&L also plans to file a request in late November 2001 for new wholesale electric base rates. IESU and IPC are in the process of reviewing whether they will need to file electric and/or gas base rate cases with the IUB in the first half of 2002. At this time, there are no plans for filing new base rate cases in Illinois or Minnesota. In April 2001 and July 2001, the OCA requested certain financial information from IESU and IPC, respectively, related to the electric utility operations within the state of Iowa. IESU and IPC filed their responses with the OCA and cannot predict the outcomes of this process, although such data requests could lead to an effort by the OCA to seek an electric rate reduction for IESU and/or IPC in Iowa. In January 2001, the IUB issued an order requiring IESU and IPC to file a joint fuel procurement plan in May 2001 for the purpose of evaluating the reasonableness of the Iowa utilities' fuel procurement contracts. This filing was completed in May 2001 and hearings were held in early November 2001. IESU and IPC are still responding to data requests from the IUB. IESU and IPC cannot predict the outcome of this process, which could potentially result in a refund. In December 2000, WP&L requested a $73 million annual retail electric rate increase from the PSCW to cover increases in WP&L's 2001 fuel and purchased-power costs. The PSCW approved a $46 million interim increase effective February 8, 2001, which was replaced with a $58 million final increase effective June 19, 2001. The final order includes a refund provision for costs collected in rates that are in excess of actual costs incurred. Two customer groups filed an appeal to the state court, challenging certain portions of the final order. WP&L believed Union Pacific was charging an excessive rate for transporting low-sulfur coal from the Powder River Basin to the Edgewater Generating Station located in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. To contest the rate, WP&L filed a rate case with the STB and upon the expiration of the existing contract, began moving coal under a tariff rate beginning January 1, 2000. Following the STB's initial decision, WP&L, as part of a negotiated settlement, received payment from Union Pacific in November 2001 of $3.9 million, which covers the period from January 2000 through August 2001. While WP&L and Union Pacific have agreed upon future rates, both parties have filed petitions for reconsideration with the STB on certain aspects of its decision, which could impact the final amount received by WP&L. The refund amount will be reviewed by the PSCW in conjunction with WP&L's fuel adjustment clause. WP&L did not record anything related to this settlement in its results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Alliant Energy complies with the provisions of SFAS 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation." SFAS 71 provides that rate-regulated public utilities record certain costs and credits allowed in the rate making process in different periods than for non-regulated entities. These are deferred as regulatory assets or accrued as regulatory liabilities and are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income at the time they are reflected in rates. If a portion of the utility's operations no longer complies with SFAS 71, a write-down of related regulatory assets and possibly other charges would be required, unless some form of transition cost recovery is established by the appropriate regulatory body that meets the requirements under generally accepted accounting principles for continued accounting as regulatory assets during such recovery period. In addition, each utility would be required to determine any 29
impairment of other assets and write-down any impaired assets to their fair value. Alliant Energy believes its utility subsidiaries currently meet the requirements of SFAS 71. ALLIANT ENERGY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Unless otherwise noted, all "per share" references in the Results of Operations section refer to earnings per diluted share. Overview - Third Quarter Results - Alliant Energy reported net income of - -------------------------------- $62.3 million, or $0.78 per share, for the third quarter of 2001, compared to net income of $276.2 million, or $3.49 per share, for the third quarter of 2000. Both periods included non-cash valuation adjustments related to Alliant Energy's obligation under certain 30-year exchangeable senior notes -- charges of $0.16 per share and $0.02 per share in the third quarters of 2001 and 2000, respectively. In addition, net income for the third quarter of 2000 included $204 million of non-cash net income, or $2.58 per share, relating to Alliant Energy's adoption of SFAS 133 on July 1, 2000. Excluding such items, third quarter 2001 and 2000 earnings were $0.94 per share and $0.93 per share, respectively. The increase in earnings as adjusted was primarily due to higher electric utility margins, a lower effective income tax rate and higher earnings from Alliant Energy's non-regulated operations, largely offset by increased utility operating expenses. Third quarter 2001 utility earnings were $69.5 million ($0.88 per share) compared to $68.4 million ($0.86 per share) for the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily due to an increase in electric margin and a lower effective income tax rate, which were virtually offset by increased operating expenses. The non-regulated businesses reported net income(loss) of ($4.4) million, or ($0.06) per share, in the third quarter of 2001, compared to $208.0 million, or $2.63 per share, in the third quarter of 2000. These amounts include the non-cash valuation charges and the non-cash net income relating to Alliant Energy's adoption of SFAS 133. Excluding these adjustments, net income was $8.2 million, or $0.10 per share, in the third quarter of 2001 compared to net income of $5.3 million, or $0.07 per share, in the third quarter of 2000. Improved results from the Integrated Services business unit of $0.02 per share were largely due to a one-time charge related to a loss on a contract in the third quarter of 2000. Higher income from the Investments business unit of $0.01 per share was from Alliant Energy's oil and gas operations and was largely due to increased sales volumes as a result of the continued acquisition of additional oil and gas producing properties. Improved results from the International business unit of $0.01 per share were due to increased earnings from Alliant Energy's China and Australian investments, partially offset by lower earnings from Alliant Energy's New Zealand investments. The impact of lower interest rates on Resources' variable rate borrowings also contributed to the increased earnings. These items were partially offset by lower earnings from Alliant Energy's generation and trading business unit due to fewer weather-related trading opportunities in the third quarter of 2001.

The three-month increase was primarily related to increased residential and commercial sales due to more favorable weather conditions in the third quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000 and continued retail customer growth. Higher energy conservation revenues also contributed to the three-month increase. These items were partially offset by lower industrial sales. The nine-month decrease was primarily due to $10 million of income recorded in the second quarter of 2000 for a change in estimate of WP&L's utility services rendered but unbilled at month-end and lower industrial sales. These items were partially offset by the impact of customer growth and favorable weather conditions in 2001 compared to 2000, which contributed to increased sales to higher-margin residential and commercial customers. Due to the formation of ATC on January 1, 2001, electric margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 included expenses of $7 million and $21 million, respectively. Such expenses were offset by equity income, reduced other operation and maintenance expenses and lower depreciation expense, resulting in no significant net income impact due to the formation of ATC. Refer to Note 5 of Alliant Energy's "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Item 1. for additional information related to ATC. IESU's and IPC's electric tariffs include EAC's that are designed to currently recover the costs of fuel and the energy portion of purchased-power billings. Under PSCW rules, WP&L can seek emergency rate increases if the annual fuel and purchased-power costs are more than three percent higher than the estimated costs used to establish rates. Refer to "Utility Industry Review - Rates and Regulatory Matters" for discussion of an IUB fuel investigation and various WP&L rate filings.

Gas margin increased $0.6 million, or 3%, and $2.7 million, or 3%, for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively. The nine-month increase was primarily due to more favorable weather conditions in 2001 compared to 2000, partially offset by a negative impact from higher natural gas costs, as some customers either chose alternative fuel sources or used less natural gas, and losses associated with current commodity costs at WP&L, which are shared by ratepayers and shareowners. IESU's and IPC's gas tariffs include PGA clauses that are designed to currently recover the cost of utility gas sold. Non-regulated and Other Revenues - Details regarding Alliant Energy's - -------------------------------- non-regulated and other revenues and data relating to Whiting's oil and gas operations for the three and nine months ended September 30 were as follows: <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three Months Nine Months ------------------------------- ------------------------------- Non-regulated and other revenues (in thousands): 2001 2000 2001 2000 -------------- --------------- --------------- -------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> Integrated Services $43,891 $32,046 $176,301 $96,428 Investments: Whiting (oil and gas) 30,594 29,412 109,725 75,212 Other 10,944 11,565 33,520 32,642 International 16,752 -- 32,693 -- Other 1,254 8,037 15,070 22,473 -------------- --------------- --------------- -------------- $103,435 $81,060 $367,309 $226,755 ============== =============== =============== ============== Whiting's volumes sold (in thousands): Oil (barrels) 509 391 1,606 1,119 Gas (thousand cubic feet) 5,369 4,523 14,151 12,414 Whiting's product prices: Oil $24.48 $28.56 $24.89 $26.58 Gas $3.07 $3.69 $4.30 $3.28 </TABLE> The increased Integrated Services revenues were due to acquisitions in the third and fourth quarters of 2000 of various energy services businesses and higher natural gas prices in the first and second quarters of 2001. Ongoing acquisitions of additional oil and gas properties had a significant impact on the increased Whiting sales volumes. The 2001 International revenues resulted from the December 2000 change from the equity method of accounting to the consolidation method for an investment in China. 32
Other Operating Expenses - Other operation and maintenance expenses for the - ------------------------ three and nine months ended September 30 were as follows (in thousands): <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three Months Nine Months ------------------------------ ------------------------------ 2001 2000 2001 2000 ------------- -------------- -------------- ------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> Utility $124,349 $108,291 $379,976 $367,497 Integrated Services 41,470 39,867 167,112 101,385 Investments: Whiting (oil and gas) 11,771 9,823 34,867 26,555 Other 6,613 7,279 20,711 21,800 International 14,896 1,316 31,025 3,539 Other (includes eliminations) (4,436) 1,946 (3,846) 5,786 ------------- -------------- -------------- ------------- $194,663 $168,522 $629,845 $526,562 ============= ============== ============== ============= </TABLE> Other operation and maintenance expenses at the utility subsidiaries increased $16.1 million and $12.5 million for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively, primarily due to higher costs in Alliant Energy's energy delivery and generation business units (certain increases were timing differences), increased uncollectible customer account balances and costs associated with the implementation of Alliant Energy's e-business strategy. Also contributing to the three-month increase were higher operating costs at Kewaunee. Such increases were partially offset by the impact of the formation of ATC earlier in 2001, as discussed in "Electric Utility Operations." The Integrated Services increases were primarily due to the acquisitions of the various energy services businesses and the higher natural gas costs in the first and second quarters of 2001, partially offset by a one-time charge related to a loss on a contract in the third quarter of 2000. The increase at Whiting was primarily due to the increased production volumes. The International increases were primarily due to the December 2000 change in accounting method for the China investment. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $5.9 million and $22.8 million for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively, primarily due to utility property additions, acquisitions at the non-regulated businesses and the December 2000 change in accounting method for the China investment. Such increases were partially offset by the impact of the formation of ATC earlier in 2001, as discussed in "Electric Utility Operations." Taxes other than income taxes increased $4.5 million for the nine-month period primarily due to increased payroll and gross receipts taxes. Interest Expense and Other - Interest expense increased $1.1 million and - -------------------------- $16.0 million for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively, primarily due to higher non-regulated borrowings to fund Alliant Energy's strategic growth initiatives, partially offset by the impact of lower interest rates on Alliant Energy's variable rate borrowings. Equity income (loss) from Alliant Energy's unconsolidated investments for the three and nine months ended September 30 was as follows (in thousands): <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three Months Nine Months ---------------------------- ---------------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ------------- ------------- -------------- ------------ <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> ATC $2,210 $-- $10,236 $-- Cargill-Alliant 2,964 7,321 8,058 9,922 Australia/New Zealand 2,829 656 7,752 2,024 China 942 194 3,333 442 Brazil 3,185 1,837 1,890 1,098 Other (442) (118) (503) (888) ------------- ------------- -------------- ------------ $11,688 $9,890 $30,766 $12,598 ============= ============= ============== ============ </TABLE> 33
Equity income from unconsolidated investments increased $1.8 million and $18.2 million for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively, primarily due to ATC beginning operations on January 1, 2001, increased earnings in China largely due to the addition of a combined heat and power facility to Alliant Energy's China portfolio in the first quarter of 2001 and non-cash income from the valuation of certain Australian energy agreements. These items were partially offset by reduced income at Alliant Energy's electricity trading joint venture due to fewer weather-related trading opportunities in the third quarter of 2001 and lower earnings from Alliant Energy's New Zealand investments due to the impact of a drought in New Zealand. In spite of the drought conditions in Brazil, Alliant Energy realized slight increases in equity earnings from its Brazilian investments in both periods. On July 1, 2000, Alliant Energy adopted SFAS 133. Related to the adoption, Alliant Energy recorded a $321.3 million gain related to the designation of a portion of Alliant Energy's McLeod holdings as "trading securities." This gain related to the unrealized appreciation in value of approximately 27% of Alliant Energy's McLeod holdings. Alliant Energy sold 450,000 shares of its investment in McLeod in the first quarter of 2000, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $10.2 million, or $0.08 per share. Miscellaneous, net income decreased $16.7 million and $31.4 million for the three- and nine-month periods largely due to higher non-cash valuation charges of $16.0 million and $27.1 million related to the net change in the value of the McLeod trading securities and the derivative component of Resources' exchangeable senior notes, respectively. Lower gains from asset sales also contributed to both decreases while income realized in 2000 from a weather hedge also impacted the nine-month comparison. The three-month decrease was partially offset by higher interest income. Income Taxes - The effective income tax rates were 32.0% and 32.5% for the - ------------ three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001, compared with 40.2% and 39.6% for the same periods last year, respectively. The decrease for both periods was primarily due to the impact of the adoption of SFAS 133 in the third quarter of 2000 and increased income tax benefits from Alliant Energy's China and Brazil investments. Also contributing to the nine-month decrease were higher tax credits. IESU RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview - Third Quarter Results - Earnings available for common stock - -------------------------------- decreased $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to higher other operation and maintenance expenses, offset by a lower effective income tax rate and reduced property taxes.

Gas revenues and cost of gas sold increased significantly for the nine-month period due to the large increase in natural gas prices in the first and second quarters of 2001. Such increases had no impact on IESU's gas margin given its rate recovery mechanism for gas costs. Gas margin increased $0.2 million, or 3%, and $1.6 million, or 4%, for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively. The nine-month increase was largely due to more favorable weather conditions in the first quarter of 2001 compared with the first quarter of 2000, partially offset by a negative impact from higher natural gas costs as some customers either chose alternative fuel sources or used less natural gas. IESU's gas tariffs include PGA clauses that are designed to currently recover the cost of gas sold. Other Operating Expenses - Other operation and maintenance expenses increased - ------------------------ $9.8 million and $16.6 million for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively, primarily due to increased energy delivery and generation expenses (certain increases were timing differences), increased uncollectible customer account balances and costs associated with the implementation of Alliant Energy's e-business strategy. The nine-month increase was partially offset by reduced other administrative and general expenses and one-time fees incurred in the second quarter of 2000 associated with the transfer from the MAPP reliability region to the MAIN region. Taxes other than income taxes decreased $1.7 million and $2.4 million for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively, primarily due to reduced property taxes. Interest Expense and Other - Miscellaneous, net income increased $2.3 million - -------------------------- and $0.6 million for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively. The three-month increase was primarily due to income related to value-added products and services. Income Taxes - The effective income tax rates were 33.1% and 35.3% for the - ------------ three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, compared with 41.4% and 41.9%, respectively, for the same periods last year. The decrease for both periods was due to decreases in property-related temporary differences for which deferred taxes are not provided pursuant to rate making principles. WP&L RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview - Third Quarter Results - Earnings available for common stock - -------------------------------- increased $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to higher electric margins.

The three-month increase was primarily due to increased residential and commercial sales resulting from continued retail customer growth and more favorable weather conditions in the third quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. Also contributing to the three-month increase were increased energy conservation revenues. These items were partially offset by the impact of the formation of ATC and lower industrial sales. The nine-month decrease was primarily due to the impact of the formation of ATC, a second quarter 2000 change in estimate of WP&L's utility services rendered but unbilled at month-end of $10 million and lower industrial sales. These items were partially offset by increased sales to higher-margin residential and commercial customers from continued retail customer growth and more favorable weather conditions in 2001 compared to 2000. Refer to "Utility Industry Review - Rates and Regulatory Matters" for discussion of various WP&L rate filings. Due to the formation of ATC on January 1, 2001, electric margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 included expenses of $7 million and $21 million, respectively. Such expenses were offset by equity income, reduced other operation and maintenance expenses and lower depreciation expense, resulting in no significant net income impact due to the formation of ATC. Refer to Note 5 of Alliant Energy's "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Item 1. for additional information related to ATC. Under PSCW rules, WP&L can seek emergency rate increases if the annual fuel and purchased-power costs are more than three percent higher than the estimated costs used to establish rates.

Gas margin increased $0.4 million, or 5%, and decreased $1.3 million, or 3%, for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively. The nine-month decrease was primarily due to losses associated with current commodity costs, which are shared by ratepayers and shareowners, and the impact of higher natural gas costs as some customers either chose alternative fuel sources or used less natural gas, partially offset by increased natural gas sales due to more favorable weather conditions in the first quarter of 2001 compared to the first quarter of 2000. Other Operating Expenses - Other operation and maintenance expenses increased - ------------------------ $2.9 million and decreased $6.6 million for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively. The three-month increase was primarily due to increased energy delivery expenses, higher nuclear expenses and costs associated with the implementation of Alliant Energy's e-business strategy, partially offset by the impact of the formation of ATC. The nine-month decrease was primarily due to the formation of ATC and decreased fossil-plant maintenance and nuclear expenses, partially offset by higher uncollectible account balances, costs associated with the implementation of Alliant Energy's e-business strategy and increased energy delivery expenses. The lower nuclear expenses were primarily due to a planned second quarter 2000 refueling outage at Kewaunee. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively, due to the impact of the formation of ATC, offset by property additions and increased earnings on the nuclear decommissioning trust fund. The accounting for earnings on the nuclear decommissioning trust fund results in no net income impact. Miscellaneous, net income increases for earnings on the trust fund and the corresponding offset is recorded as depreciation expense. Taxes other than income taxes increased $0.6 million and $2.8 million for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively, due to increased gross receipts and payroll taxes. Interest Expense and Other - Equity income from unconsolidated investments - -------------------------- increased $2.4 million and $10.5 million for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively, largely due to ATC beginning operations on January 1, 2001. Miscellaneous, net income increased $2.0 million and decreased $2.8 million for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively. The three-month increase was primarily due to increased earnings from the nuclear decommissioning trust fund. The nine-month decrease was primarily due to income realized from weather hedges in 2000, partially offset by increased earnings from the nuclear decommissioning trust fund. Income Taxes - The effective income tax rate was 38.3% for the three and nine - ------------ months ended September 30, 2001, compared with 37.3% and 37.4%, respectively, for the same periods last year. 38
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash Flows for Nine-Month Periods - Alliant Energy's cash flows from - --------------------------------- operating activities increased $110 million primarily due to changes in working capital; cash flows from financing activities decreased $316 million primarily due to net changes in the amount of debt issued and retired; and cash flows used for investing activities decreased $192 million primarily due to lower non-regulated investments. IESU's cash flows from operating activities increased $10 million primarily due to changes in working capital, partially offset by a scheduled nuclear refueling outage in the second quarter of 2001; cash flows used for financing activities decreased $58 million primarily due to net changes in the amount of debt issued and retired. WP&L's cash flows from operating activities increased $14 million primarily due to changes in working capital; cash flows used for financing activities increased $76 million primarily due to net changes in the amount of debt issued and retired and the payment of common stock dividends in 2001; and cash flows used for investing activities decreased $65 million due to proceeds received from the transfer of WP&L's transmission assets to ATC. WP&L did not declare a common stock dividend in 2000 as part of the management of its capital structure. Equity - On November 8, 2001, Alliant Energy agreed to sell in a public - ------ offering 8.5 million shares of its common stock at a price per share to the public of $28.00. In addition, the underwriters for the public offering have exercised their over-allotment option to purchase 1.275 million additional shares of common stock at the same price per share. The public offering of the shares is expected to close on November 15, 2001. Alliant Energy expects to use the approximately $263.0 million of net proceeds from the offering (including from the sale of the over-allotment shares) to repay short-term debt. Long-Term Debt - Refer to Note 7 of Alliant Energy's "Notes to Consolidated - -------------- Financial Statements" in Item 1. for discussion of long-term debt issued by IESU in March 2001. On November 9, 2001, Resources agreed to issue $300 million of 7% senior notes due 2011 in a private placement. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Alliant Energy. The private placement of the notes is expected to close on November 15, 2001. Resources expects to use the $297.2 million of net proceeds from the private placement to repay other Resources' debt. Sale of Accounts Receivable - Alliant Energy and the utility subsidiaries - --------------------------- received all necessary approvals in late March 2001 for a combined accounts receivable sale program whereby IESU, WP&L and IPC sell their respective receivables on a limited recourse basis through wholly-owned special purpose entities to an affiliated financing entity, which in turn sells the receivables to an outside investor. The new program became operational in the second quarter of 2001 and replaces the previously existing programs for IESU and WP&L. IPC did not previously have an accounts receivable sale program. The utility subsidiaries use proceeds from the sale of accounts receivable and unbilled revenues to maintain flexibility in their capital structures, take advantage of favorable short-term rates and finance a portion of their long-term cash needs. Investments - Under PUHCA, certain investments of Alliant Energy in exempt - ----------- wholesale generators and foreign utility companies are limited to 50 percent of Alliant Energy's consolidated retained earnings. In May 2001, Alliant Energy filed an application with the SEC to request, among other things, aggregate investment authority with respect to exempt wholesale generators and foreign utility companies in the amount of $1.75 billion. In October 2001, the SEC issued an order approving an increase in Alliant Energy's aggregate investment authority from 50 percent to 100 percent of consolidated retained earnings and reserved its jurisdiction over the increase to $1.75 billion until further completion of the record, which is subject to the receipt of all required state regulatory approvals. In October 2001, Alliant Energy and Resources received SEC approval for their on-going program of external financing, credit support agreements and other related proposals for the period through December 31, 2004. Construction and Acquisition Expenditures - Alliant Energy plans to invest in - ----------------------------------------- a portfolio of domestic non-regulated generation assets through acquisition, development and expansion, both inside and outside of the service territories of its utility subsidiaries. Consistent with this strategy, in October 2001, Alliant Energy announced an agreement with Panda Energy International, Inc., to jointly develop and operate a 1,100 MW natural gas combined-cycle power 39
plant in western Michigan. Construction of the facility is expected to begin during the first quarter of 2002 and the facility is expected to become operational in 2004, assuming certain conditions are satisfied. The total cost of the project is estimated to be approximately $600 million. Alliant Energy anticipates that at least 55 percent of the project costs will be financed through non-recourse debt at the joint venture level, with the remaining portion to be provided by Alliant Energy. Alliant Energy's subsidiaries also announced their interest in developing new electric power generation capacity in Iowa and Wisconsin over the next 10 years with an estimated investment of $2.5 billion. In Iowa, IESU announced a willingness to develop up to 1,200 MW of new electric power generation over the next 10 years. In Wisconsin, WP&L announced plans to develop up to 800 MW of new electric power generation over the next 10 years. The Wisconsin plans include the addition of 500 MW of coal-fired and 100 MW of natural gas-fired generation by 2006 and an additional 200 MW of combined-cycle gas generation by 2011. Both the Iowa and Wisconsin proposals are subject to various conditions, including the receipt of applicable regulatory approval and the receipt of a reasonable return on IESU's and WP&L's investments. Including non-regulated generation projects, Alliant Energy plans to invest $2.0 billion over the next four years in various energy-related businesses that it believes offer potential for future growth while enhancing shareowner value. Alliant Energy expects these investments to include expanding its international generation and distribution assets in Australia, Brazil, China and New Zealand. Alliant Energy also plans to invest in its other domestic non-regulated businesses, including its oil and gas production operations and its integrated energy services businesses. To help ensure electric service reliability for its customers, Alliant Energy has announced a program called PowerPledge, which is designed to increase Alliant Energy's power supply, upgrade existing systems and use more renewable energy sources. Through this program, Alliant Energy's utility subsidiaries plan to invest $1.7 billion from 2002 through 2005 in utility infrastructure designed to improve reliability. OTHER MATTERS Refer to Note 4 of IESU's "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Item 1. for discussion of a merger between IESU and IPC that is currently expected to be effective January 1, 2002. Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Positions Alliant Energy's primary market risk exposures are associated with interest rates, commodity prices, equity prices and currency exchange rates. Alliant Energy has risk management policies to monitor and assist in controlling these market risks and uses derivative instruments to manage some of the exposures. Alliant Energy's market risks have not changed materially from the market risks reported in the 2000 Form 10-K, except as noted below. Equity Price Risk - At September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, Alliant - ----------------- Energy had an investment in the stock of McLeod, a publicly traded telecommunications company, valued at $43 million and $791 million, respectively. In addition to the equity risk associated with the investment in McLeod, Alliant Energy also has equity risk related to the option liability embedded within Resources' exchangeable senior notes. A 10 percent increase (decrease) in the quoted market price at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 would not have a significant impact on net income as any resulting increase (decrease) in the value of the option would be substantially offset by a corresponding increase (decrease) in the value of the McLeod shares classified as trading (valued at $12 million and $221 million at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively). At September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the McLeod available-for-sale securities were valued at $31 million and $570 million, respectively. A 10 percent increase (decrease) in the quoted market price at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 would have increased (decreased) the value of the investment of the available-for-sale securities by $3 million and $57 million, respectively. Currency Risk - Alliant Energy has investments in various countries where the - ------------- net investments are not hedged, including Australia, Brazil, China and New Zealand. As a result, these investments are subject to currency exchange risk with fluctuations in currency exchange rates. At September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, Alliant Energy had a cumulative foreign currency translation loss of $175 million and $60 million, respectively, recorded in 40
"Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" on its Consolidated Balance Sheets that primarily related to decreases in value of the Brazil real, New Zealand dollar and Australian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar. Based on Alliant Energy's investments at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, a 10 percent sustained increase (decrease) over the next 12 months in the foreign exchange rates of Australia, Brazil, China and New Zealand would increase (decrease) the cumulative foreign currency translation loss by $44 million and $46 million, respectively. Accounting Pronouncements In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 141, "Business Combinations," which requires that, among other things, all business combinations be accounted for under the purchase method for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interests method is no longer permitted. In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which will result in goodwill no longer being amortized to earnings. Rather, goodwill will be subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value-based test. The amortization of goodwill existing as of June 30, 2001 ceases upon adoption of SFAS 142, which will be January 1, 2002 for Alliant Energy. Alliant Energy has not yet fully quantified the impacts of SFAS 142 on its financial condition or results of operations. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 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. Alliant Energy must adopt SFAS 143 no later than January 1, 2003. With regards to the decommissioning of DAEC and Kewaunee, SFAS 143 will require IESU and WP&L, respectively, to record at fair value the decommissioning liability and a corresponding asset, which will then be depreciated over the remaining expected service lives of the plants' generating units. Currently, decommissioning amounts collected in rates and the investment earnings are reported in accumulated depreciation. Alliant Energy has not yet determined what other assets may have associated retirement costs as defined by SFAS 143. Alliant Energy does not anticipate SFAS 143 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations. In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. Alliant Energy must adopt SFAS 144 no later than January 1, 2002. At the present time, Alliant Energy does not anticipate SFAS 144 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations. OUTLOOK Alliant Energy currently estimates that adjusted earnings for 2001 will be in the range of $2.40 to $2.50 per diluted share and in the range of $2.50 to $2.70 per diluted share for 2002. Drivers for Alliant Energy's 2001 and 2002 earnings estimates include, but are not limited to: normal weather conditions in its utility service territories; continued economic development and sales growth in its utility service territories; continued cost control and operational efficiencies in its utility operations; ability of its utility subsidiaries to recover their operating costs, and to earn a reasonable rate of return, in future rate proceedings; ability to recover its purchased-power and fuel costs, both domestically and internationally; ability to offset start-up and growth-related interest expenses in its non-regulated businesses with sales of non-strategic assets and to redeploy such proceeds into more strategic earnings-generating investments; continued improved profitability of its international investments; continued improved profitability of its non-regulated businesses as a whole, including oil and gas, electricity trading, integrated energy and transportation services; stable oil and gas prices; and other stable business conditions, including a stable economy. In addition, the estimates are further subject to future developments relating to Alliant Energy's utility investments in Brazil. Brazil is experiencing drought conditions which have been negatively impacting Alliant Energy's 2001 earnings given that the large majority of generation in Brazil is hydroelectric. However, Alliant Energy has been mitigating a significant portion of this negative earnings impact as a result of its ability to sell excess energy into the wholesale power market. The Brazilian government is currently reviewing the structure of the wholesale power market in Brazil, as well as the implications to Brazilian utilities of the government's rationing program and various cost increases the utilities 41
have experienced since their most recent tariff adjustments. The outcomes of this review could include, among others, any or all of the following scenarios: 1) retroactive adjustments to decrease the wholesale market prices at which Alliant Energy has been selling its excess energy; 2) compensation for past losses Alliant Energy has realized due to the rationing program; and/or 3) compensation for certain cost increases Alliant Energy has experienced since its most recent tariff adjustments. Alliant Energy is currently unable to predict the outcome of this review process, during what period Alliant Energy would record any such adjustments or compensation or what impact any such adjustments or compensation would have on Alliant Energy's earnings. However, several of Alliant Energy's other non-regulated businesses continue to generate strong earnings, which also should offset some or all of the impact of the foregoing. Alliant Energy's strategic plan includes investing in generation and other energy-related projects; better connecting with customers through enhanced service reliability, value-added products and services, and e-business initiatives; and growing the non-regulated side of its business through partnerships and acquisitions with a focus on generation projects, select international markets and other strategic initiatives. Alliant Energy's goal is to have its non-regulated operations contribute more than 25 percent of its adjusted earnings within the next three years and believes that successful implementation of these strategies will contribute significantly to Alliant Energy achieving its targeted annual growth rate of 7 to 10 percent in adjusted earnings. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk are reported under Item 2. MD&A "Other Matters - Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Positions." PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In an effort to grow and expand as a Wisconsin-based company, Alliant Energy and WP&L filed a federal lawsuit in October 2000, seeking declaratory relief regarding whether certain provisions of WUHCA are unconstitutional as a violation of the interstate commerce and equal protection provisions of the U.S. constitution. Alliant Energy and WP&L are challenging the provisions of WUHCA which restrict ownership in utility holding companies, limit the investments those companies can make and place significant restrictions on companies that invest in Wisconsin utility holding companies. Alliant Energy and WP&L also requested that the court consider the constitutionality of issues related to the asset cap on non-utility investments imposed by WUHCA. Alliant Energy and WP&L were seeking only declaratory relief and not damages in the litigation. In February 2001, the lawsuit was dismissed based on lack of allegations of "injury in fact." Alliant Energy and WP&L filed a motion for reconsideration with the court, which was denied in April 2001. Alliant Energy and WP&L have appealed the lower court's rulings to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. Briefing of the appeal was completed in September 2001, with a decision expected by Summer 2002. Alliant Energy and WP&L cannot currently predict the outcome of this litigation. Alliant Energy received an adverse ruling in 1999 from a U.S. district court judge dealing with an income tax refund claim Alliant Energy filed relating to capital losses disallowed under audit by the IRS. The district court judge also disallowed certain related deductions allowed by the IRS as an offset against a tax refund due to Alliant Energy. Alliant Energy appealed the district court's ruling and the IRS appealed the decision which led to the tax refund due to Alliant Energy. In June 2001, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ruled in Alliant Energy's favor with respect to both tax issues. In July 2001, the government filed a petition for rehearing with the U.S. Court of Appeals related to the capital losses allowed in the Eighth Circuit opinion. The Eighth Circuit denied the appeal in September 2001 and remanded the case back to the District Court for entry of judgment. The government may petition the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case; such petition must be filed by the end of December 2001. Alliant Energy believes the resolution of these issues will not have a material adverse impact on its financial condition or results of operations. 42
