THE PEOPLES GAS LIGHT AND COKE COMPANY

CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2007

NOTE 1--FINANCIAL INFORMATION

We have prepared the condensed, consolidated financial statements of PGL and its wholly-owned subsidiaries under the rules and regulations of the SEC.

These financial statements on Form 10-Q have not been audited.  Management believes that these financial statements include all adjustments (which unless otherwise noted include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for each period shown.  We have condensed or omitted certain financial information and note disclosures normally included in our annual audited financial statements. These condensed financial statements should be read along with the audited financial statements and notes included in the combined PEC, PGL and NSG Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.

Effective February 21, 2007, the previously announced merger between a wholly-owned subsidiary of Integrys and PEC was consummated (the "PEC merger"). PGL is wholly-owned by PEC. Effective with the merger, PGL adopted the financial statement presentation policies of Integrys.  Certain items previously reported for the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the current period:

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income:

Revenues and taxes, other than income taxes, are presented net of pass-through taxes. (See Note 3, "Revenue Recognition," for further discussion.)

Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Accrued unbilled revenues are shown separately from customer receivables, net of reserve for uncollectible accounts.

Accrued interest and accrued taxes have been combined as one line item.

Certain current liabilities have been aggregated into other current liabilities as a single line item.

Postretirement benefit obligations have been reclassified from other long-term liabilities to pension and postretirement benefit obligations.

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

Changes in accounting overdraft cash balances within net changes in accounts payable are presented as an operating activity rather than as a financing activity.

Changes in margin account balances as part of deposits with a broker are presented as an operating activity rather than as an investing activity.

The PGL condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect, and are not required to reflect, any push down basis of accounting as a result of the PEC merger.

We have condensed or omitted certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual audited financial statements.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read along with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the combined PEC, PGL and NSG Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.  Due to a number of factors, including seasonality of PGL's businesses and market price volatility, the quarterly

- 9 -

results of operations and statements of financial position and cash flows should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for the year as a whole.

As previously disclosed in the combined PEC, PGL and NSG Transition Report on Form 10-Q for the Transition Period from October 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006, PGL changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31.

NOTE 2--CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less are reported as cash equivalents.

The following is supplemental disclosure to the PGL Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Millions)	2007		2006
Cash paid for interest	$	20.0	$	17.7
Cash paid for income taxes	$	15.4	$	11.5

NOTE 3--REVENUE RECOGNITION

Natural gas sales and transportation revenues are recorded on the accrual basis for all gas delivered during the month, including an estimate for gas delivered but unbilled at the end of each month.

In Illinois, delivering, supplying, furnishing or selling gas for use or consumption and not for resale is subject to state and, in some cases, municipal taxes (revenue taxes). The Illinois Public Utilities Act provides that the tax may be recovered from utility customers by adding an additional charge to customers’ bills. These pass-through taxes are due only to the extent they are collected as cash receipts as opposed to amounts billed. The revenues presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income exclude the billings to customers for these pass-through taxes.  For the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, PGL previously reported most revenue taxes on a gross basis, whereby the billed amounts for the recovery of these taxes were included in revenues, and an offsetting expense amount (net of an administrative fee) representing the expected cash payment of the taxes was included in taxes, other than income taxes on the statement of income. In connection with the PEC merger, beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2007, PGL adopted the accounting policy of excluding such pass-through taxes from both revenues and taxes, other than income taxes.  Revenue tax amounts excluded from revenues and taxes, other than income taxes for the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 were $12.9 million and $95.0 million, respectively.

NOTE 4--GAS IN STORAGE

For 2007, PGL prices storage injections at the calendar year average of the costs of natural gas supply purchased.  For 2006, PGL priced storage injections at the fiscal year average of the costs of natural gas supply purchased.  Withdrawals from storage are priced on the LIFO cost method.  For interim periods, the difference between current projected replacement cost and the LIFO cost for quantities of gas temporarily withdrawn from storage is recorded as a temporary LIFO liquidation credit. Because September 30, 2006 was formerly the fiscal year end, the September 30, 2006 inventory balance was not accounted for as an interim period balance. Due to seasonality requirements, PGL expects interim reductions in LIFO layers to be replenished by year end. At September 30, 2007 and 2006, all LIFO layers were replenished and the LIFO liquidation credit balance was zero.

NOTE 5--RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

PGL’s gas supply costs may vary due to changes in commodity prices that affect its operations. To manage this volatility, PGL uses forward contracts and financial instruments, including commodity swaps

- 10 -

and options. It is the policy of PGL to use these instruments solely for the purpose of managing volatility and not for any speculative purpose. PGL accounts for derivative financial instruments pursuant to SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities”, as amended and interpreted ("SFAS No. 133"). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, all derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value unless they qualify for the normal purchases and sales exception.

Mark-To-Market Derivative Instruments.  PGL uses derivative instruments to manage its cost of gas supply and mitigate price volatility. All such derivative instruments are measured at fair value. PGL's tariffs allow for full recovery from its customers of prudently incurred gas supply costs, including gains or losses on these derivative instruments. In turn, SFAS No. 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation" ("SFAS No. 71"), allows for these MTM derivative gains or losses to be recorded as regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities. Realized gains or losses are recorded as an adjustment to the cost of gas supply in the period that the underlying gas purchase transaction takes place. The costs and benefits of this activity are passed through to customers under the tariffs of PGL.

The MTM asset (liability) value of the above contracts for PGL at September 30, 2007, December 31, 2006, and September 30, 2006 was $(35.2) million, $(113.6) million, and $(128.4) million, respectively.

Cash Flow Hedges. PGL uses derivatives to hedge changes in the price of gas used in operations. These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges, which allows for the effective portion of unrealized changes in value during the life of the hedge to be recorded in other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses from commodity cash flow hedges are recorded in operating and maintenance expenses in the statement of income in the same month the related physical purchases are recorded in the statement of income. In addition, cash flow hedge ineffectiveness can result from differences in critical terms (such as location) between the hedging instrument and the hedged transaction and result in the immediate recognition of gains or losses recorded in operating and maintenance expenses.

Cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued when it is no longer probable that the original forecasted transactions will occur. The carrying value of contracts which no longer qualify for hedge accounting are prospectively marked-to-market, with the change in value recorded in each reporting period in the statement of operations. If the original forecasted transactions are probable of not occurring, any amounts previously recorded in other comprehensive income are immediately recorded in the income statement. In the third quarter of 2007, PGL recognized a pretax loss of less than $0.1 million in the income statement related to the discontinuance of cash flow hedges for which the forecasted purchases of company-use gas are probable of not occurring.

In 2003, PGL entered into treasury lock agreements that hedged the 10-year treasury component of a portion of the total anticipated fiscal 2003 debt financings.  On April 24, 2003, in connection with the issuance of the new debt, PGL unwound its treasury positions locking in a $0.7 million loss recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income.  This amount is being amortized to earnings over the 10-year term of the debt.

No amounts from PGL cash flow hedges were determined to be ineffective for the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.  The portion of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next twelve months is $(0.4) million.  The maximum term of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) expected to be reclassified is 67 months.

- 11 -

Summary. The following table shows PGL’s assets and liabilities from all risk management activities. Certain commodity financial instruments are executed by PGL and shown as assets/liabilities from risk management activities. Other commodity financial instruments were previously executed by PEC on behalf of PGL and are represented on PGL's balance sheet as payables to related parties. Unrealized gains or losses on certain mark-to-market commodity contracts related to deposits with brokers are included within other receivables.

NOTE 6--LONG-TERM DEBT

The $50 million 3.05% Series LL bonds which will mature February 1, 2033, were originally issued in 2003 in a term mode and for a 5 year period. PGL is obligated to purchase any such bonds tendered if they cannot be remarketed. Therefore, these bonds are subject to a mandatory tender for purchase for remarketing on February 1, 2008.  These bonds are presented on the PGL balance sheet at September 30, 2007 as current maturities of long-term debt.

NOTE 7--ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

Under the provisions of SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” ("SFAS No. 143"), and Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” ("FIN 47"), PGL has recorded liabilities for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets.  PGL identified asset retirement obligations primarily related to distribution pipe removal (including asbestos and PCBs in pipes), asbestos and PCBs in buildings and removal of above ground storage tanks.  In accordance with SFAS No. 71, PGL establishes regulatory assets and liabilities to record the differences between ongoing expense recognition under SFAS No. 143 and FIN 47 and the rate making practices for retirement costs authorized by the ICC.  All asset retirement obligations are recorded as other long-term liabilities on the balance sheet of PGL.

The following table shows all changes to the asset retirement obligation liabilities of PGL.

NOTE 8--INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rates were 32.3% and 37.6% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 37.3% and 45.0% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. PGL's provision for income taxes for 2007 is calculated in accordance with APB Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting" ("APB 28"). The accounting rules for interim income taxes applicable in the 2007 period require that the year-to-date tax provision or benefit for ordinary income or loss be based on the expected annual effective tax rate for ordinary income or loss.  APB 28 was not applied in the September 30, 2006 income statement as September 30 was PGL's fiscal year end for 2006. The provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 did not take into account any forecasted activity beyond September 30, 2006. As a result, the effective income tax rates for the 2006 periods and for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 are not meaningful. The 37.3% effective income tax rate for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, differs from the federal tax rate of 35% primarily due to the impact of applying an approximate 40% composite statutory rate to the $23 million Gas Charge settlement (as discussed in Note 9, "Commitments and Contingencies") while a smaller level of ordinary pretax income (excluding the $23 million charge) was taxed at a lower effective rate.  At September 30, 2007, the expected annual effective tax rate for ordinary income or loss was 26.8%.

Effective January 1, 2007, PGL adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 was an increase of less than $0.1 million to the January 1, 2007 retained earnings balance.

At January 1, 2007, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $2.8 million. No unrecognized tax benefits would affect PGL's effective tax rate if recognized in subsequent periods. At the beginning of 2007, approximately $2.6 million of liability was accrued for the possible payment of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

PGL records penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

PGL files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various U.S. state jurisdictions. With a few exceptions (major exceptions listed below), PGL is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2002.

·   Illinois Department of Revenue – PGL has agreed to extensions of the statutes of limitations for assessing tax for tax years covering 2001-2004. The extensions for tax years covering 2001-2002 expire March 31, 2008, and the extensions for tax years covering 2003-2004 expire December 31, 2008.

·   United States IRS – PGL has agreed to extensions of the statutes of limitations for tax years covering 1999-2004. The extensions for tax years covering 1999-2003 expire September 30, 2008, and the extension covering tax year 2004 expires June 30, 2009.

PGL has closed examinations for the following major jurisdictions for the following tax years:

·   United States IRS – PGL has partially agreed to an audit report and closing statement for an IRS examination of the 1999-2003 tax years, but PGL has protested one issue from the agent's report that has been sent to IRS appeals for potential resolution.

PGL has open examinations for the following major jurisdictions for the following tax years:

·   United States IRS – PGL has an open examination for the 2004-2005 tax years.

·   Illinois Department of Revenue – PGL has an open examination for the 2001-2006 tax years.

We do not expect a significant impact to the FIN 48 liability from the expiration of the statute of limitations in any jurisdiction to occur within the next 12 months.

NOTE 9--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commodity and Purchase Order Commitments

PGL has obligations at September 30, 2007 related to natural gas supply and transportation contracts with total estimated demand payments of $312.6 million through 2017. PGL expects to recover these costs in future customer rates. Additionally, PGL has contracts to sell natural gas to customers.

PGL also has commitments in the form of purchase orders issued to various vendors totaling $11.5 million at September 30, 2007.

Environmental

Former Manufactured Gas Plant Sites

PGL, its predecessors, and certain former affiliates operated facilities in the past at multiple sites for the purposes of manufacturing gas and storing manufactured gas. In connection with manufacturing and storing gas, waste materials were produced that may have resulted in soil and groundwater contamination at these sites. Under certain laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, PGL might be required to undertake remedial action with respect to some of these materials. PGL was addressing these sites under a program supervised by the IEPA. As discussed below, in 2007 PGL transferred certain of these sites to a program administered by the EPA.

PGL is addressing 29 manufactured gas plant sites, including several sites described in more detail below. Investigations have been completed at all or portions of 25 sites. Cleanups have been completed at all or portions of nine of these 25 sites. PGL has determined that cleanups are not required at three of these 25 sites.

In June 2007, PGL transferred 11 of its largest manufactured gas plant sites which were being addressed under IEPA supervision to the EPA’s Superfund removal program (with the intent that they will eventually be transferred to the EPA Superfund Alternative Sites Program).  Under the EPA's programs, the remedy decisions at these sites will be based on risk-based criteria typically used at Superfund sites.

WPSC, MGUC, PGL and NSG are coordinating the investigation and the cleanup of the Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan manufactured gas plant sites under what is called a “multi-site” program.  This program involves prioritizing the work to be done at the sites, preparation and approval of documents common to all of the sites, and utilization of a consistent approach in selecting remedies.

In 2004, the owners, River Village West LLC ("River Village West"), of a property in the vicinity of the former Pitney Court Station filed suit against PGL in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois under RCRA. The suit, River Village West LLC et al. v. The Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company, No. 04-C-3392 (N.D. Ill. 2004), seeks an order directing PGL to remediate the site.  In December 2005, PGL and the plaintiffs settled and the litigation has been dismissed with prejudice.  Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, PGL agreed to remediate the site and to investigate and, if necessary, remediate sediments in the area of the Chicago River adjacent to the site.

With respect to portions of certain other sites in the City of Chicago ("Chicago"), PGL has received demands from site owners and others asserting standing regarding the investigation or remediation of their parcels. Some of these demands seek to require PGL to perform extensive investigations or remediations. These demands include notice letters sent to PGL by River Village West. In April 2005, River Village West filed suit against PGL in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois under RCRA. The suit, River Village West LLC et al. v. The Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company, No. 05-C-2103 (N.D. Ill. 2005) ("RVW II"), seeks an order directing PGL to remediate three of the seven sites: the former South Station, the former Throop Street Station and the former Hough Place Station. PGL has filed an answer denying liability.

- 14 -

In August 2006, a member of River Village West individually filed suit against PGL in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois under RCRA.  The suit, Thomas A. Snitzer v. The Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company, No. 06-C-4465 (N.D. Ill. 2006) ("Snitzer I"), seeks an order directing PGL to remediate the Willow Street Station former manufactured gas plant site which is located along the Chicago River.  In October 2006, the same individual filed another suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois under RCRA and CERCLA.  The suit, Thomas A. Snitzer v. The Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company, No. 06-C-5901 (N.D. Ill. 2006) ("Snitzer II"), seeks an order directing PGL to remediate the following four former manufactured gas plant sites, which are located on or near the Chicago River: 22^nd Street Station, Division Street Station, Hawthorne Station, and North Shore Avenue Station.  This individual has also notified PGL of his intent to file suit under RCRA and CERCLA seeking an order directing PGL to remediate the following two former manufactured gas plant sites: Calumet Station and North Station.

In February 2007, Snitzer I and Snitzer II were consolidated with the RVW II case. In June 2007, PGL filed a motion to dismiss, or in the alternative stay, the consolidated litigation on the basis of the transfer of the sites at issue in the litigation to the EPA’s Superfund removal program.  On September 28, 2007 the federal district court issued a ruling staying the litigation "pending the conclusion of the USEPA actions" at these sites.  The effect of this ruling, if it stands, is to bring the litigation to a halt until some future point in time when EPA has completed its actions and then only with respect to issues "left over" from the EPA actions. There is no time limit on the stay and it may be years before plaintiffs will be permitted to proceed with the litigation, if at all.  The plaintiffs have filed a motion for reconsideration.

PGL estimated the future undiscounted investigation and cleanup costs for remaining work to be done at all of the Illinois manufactured gas plant sites (namely, those being addressed by both the IEPA and the EPA) as of September 30, 2007 to be approximately $433.7 million.  This represents a substantial increase from estimates prior to June 30, 2007. Effective with the quarter ended June 30, 2007, this estimate takes into account (1) the transfer of sites to the EPA, which allows for estimates with greater certainty for sediment cleanup and remediation of sites where access to the sites could not previously be obtained under the IEPA program and (2) is based on assumptions and calculation methodology consistent with that used by WPSC in determining its investigative and cleanup costs for manufactured gas plant sites.  PGL may adjust these estimates in the future, contingent upon remedial technology, regulatory requirements, remedy determinations and the assessment of natural resource damages.

PGL intends to seek contribution from other entities for the costs incurred at the sites, but the full extent of such contributions cannot be determined at this time. PGL is recovering the costs of environmental activities relating to its former manufactured gas operations, including carrying charges on the unrecovered balances, under rate mechanisms approved by the ICC, which authorize recovery of prudently incurred costs. Costs incurred in each fiscal year are subject to a prudence review by the ICC during a reconciliation proceeding for such fiscal year. The related regulatory asset (stated in current year dollars), representing unrecovered costs (both incurred to date and estimated future costs) was $486.1 million at September 30, 2007. Costs are expensed in the statement of income in the same period they are billed to customers and recognized as revenues.

Management believes that any costs incurred by PGL for environmental activities relating to former manufactured gas operations that are not recoverable through contributions from other entities or from insurance carriers have been prudently incurred and are therefore recoverable through rates for utility service. Accordingly, management believes that the costs incurred by PGL in connection with former manufactured gas operations will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of PGL. However, any changes in PGL's approved rate mechanisms for recovery of these costs, or any adverse conclusions by the ICC with respect to the prudence of costs actually incurred, could materially affect PGL’s recovery of such costs through rates.

Gas Charge Reconciliation Proceedings and Related Matters

For PGL, the ICC conducts annual proceedings regarding the reconciliation of revenues from the gas charge and related gas costs. The gas charge represents the cost of gas and transportation and storage

- 15 -

services purchased by PGL ("Gas Charge"). In these proceedings, the accuracy of the reconciliation of revenues and costs is reviewed and the prudence of gas costs recovered through the Gas Charge is examined by interested parties. If the ICC were to find that the reconciliation was inaccurate or any gas costs were imprudently incurred, the ICC would order PGL to refund the affected amount to customers through subsequent Gas Charge filings. The proceedings are initiated shortly after the close of the fiscal year and historically take at least a year to 18 months to complete.

The ICC issued orders on March 28, 2006, approving a settlement that resolved all proceedings regarding PGL for fiscal 2001 - 2004 costs.  The recommendation that proceedings for PGL's fiscal 2000 be reopened was made moot by approval of the settlement.  The orders, which became publicly available March 30, 2006, adopted a January 17, 2006 Settlement Agreement and Release among and between PGL, the People of the State of Illinois through the AG, Chicago and the Citizens Utility Board, as amended by an Amendment and Addendum dated March 6, 2006 (the "Agreement").

In its orders approving the Agreement, the ICC determined that $96 million should be refunded to customers of PGL.  In April 2006, the refund was credited to customer accounts.

Pursuant to the Agreement, PGL also paid $4.8 million jointly to Chicago and the AG in 2006.  PEC also agreed to pay up to $5 million per year over the next five years (the "Subsequent Payments") towards the funding of conservation and weatherization programs for low and moderate-income residential dwellings (the "Conservation Programs"). The five Subsequent Payments of up to $5 million will be paid based upon Conservation Programs to be developed by Chicago and/or the AG.  PGL will not seek recovery in any future rate or reconciliation cases of any amounts associated with the Conservation Programs.  In July 2007, PGL received an itemized estimated cost and request for payment jointly from Chicago and the AG in the amount of $4.6 million to fund multiple programs for the remainder of 2007, covering weatherization and residential energy assistance, weatherization fairs and education campaigns, alternative technology and energy efficiency. PGL management concluded that this estimated cost and request for payment constitutes sufficient evidence that Chicago and the AG has established or is taking steps to develop valid Conservation Programs as required under the Agreement and that it is probable Chicago and the AG will request similar levels of annual funding through 2011 (Chicago and the AG made no allowance for a partial year in its request for payment for 2007). Consequently, PGL recorded a $23 million liability and related charge to earnings in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 for Subsequent Payments representing its portion of the $25 million in total Subsequent Payments. Of this amount, $18.4 million is included in other long-term liabilities and $4.6 million is included in other current liabilities. The remaining $2 million of the $25 million in total Subsequent Payments represents NSG's portion.

Under the Agreement, PGL agreed to forgive all outstanding bad debt from fiscal years 2000-2005 existing as of March 6, 2006, remove the bad debt from customers’ records and to not use any forgiven indebtedness as a reason to deny natural gas service.  PGL wrote off an estimated $200 million in prior periods.

The Agreement provides that PGL will cooperate with Chicago and the AG to identify those customers of PGL who were not receiving natural gas as of the date of the Agreement that are financial hardship cases. The hardship cases were identified by PGL, the AG and Chicago. Following identification, PGL reconnected the hardship cases. PGL forgave all outstanding debt for reconnected customers.

Pursuant to the Agreement PGL agreed to implement recommendations proposed by the ICC’s staff and the intervenors to conduct internal and external audits of their natural gas procurement practices.  A natural gas supply management audit performed by a consulting firm retained by the ICC is in progress.  No findings or recommendations have yet been issued.

PGL also agreed to credit fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006 revenues derived from the provision of natural gas Hub (as defined herein) services as an offset to utility customers’ natural gas charges and to account for such revenues received from natural gas Hub services in the same manner in all future natural gas charges.

- 16 -

A $103.0 million charge was allocated to PGL in accordance with the orders. In anticipation of the March 28, 2006 orders from the ICC, PGL recorded estimated Gas Charge settlement costs for the three-month period ended December 31, 2005 of $74.7 million.  As a result, a $28.4 million additional adjustment to the Gas Charge settlement was recorded in the three month period ended March 31, 2006.  Accrued liabilities totaling $11.6 million at September 30, 2007 represent 2005 Hub revenue and related interest that will be refunded to customers pending close of the ICC's review of 2005 Gas Charge reconciliation case and are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under the caption other under current liabilities.

Amounts refunded in connection with the Gas Charge reconciliation cases for fiscal years 2001 through 2004 relate to specific issues that occurred during that period and are not believed to be indicative of future actions that may be taken by the ICC with respect to current outstanding and future Gas Charge reconciliation cases.

The fiscal 2005 Gas Charge reconciliation case was initiated in November 2005 and PGL filed direct testimony.  The settlement of the prior fiscal years' Gas Charge reconciliation proceedings does not affect this case, except for PGL's agreement to credit fiscal 2005 Hub revenues as an offset to utility customers’ natural gas charges.  The ICC staff and intervenor direct testimony was filed January 18, 2007.  The ICC staff's witnesses recommended a disallowance for PGL of approximately $22.2 million, of which $10.7 million is the amount of Hub revenues that PGL previously testified it would refund to customers (and was included as part of the Gas Charge settlement expensed through March 31, 2006).  An intervenor witness (on behalf of the Citizens Utility Board and Chicago) recommended a disallowance of approximately $11.5 million for PGL.  The majority of the proposed disallowances, other than the Hub revenues, are for a one-time adjustment by PGL to transportation customers’ bank (storage) gas liability balances. PGL filed its rebuttal testimony on February 22, 2007, and the ICC staff and intervenors filed their rebuttal testimony on April 25, 2007. In their rebuttal testimony, the ICC staff's witnesses reduced their recommended disallowance to about $20.5 million.  The record in this case was marked heard and taken on May 30, 2007, and briefing concluded in August 2007. The administrative law judges issued a proposed order on November 5, 2007. Exceptions from all parties to that proposed order are due November 19, 2007, and replies to exceptions are due November 26, 2007. The proposed order adopts ICC staff’s recommended disallowance of approximately $20.5 million. Following the filing of exceptions and replies, the administrative law judges will submit a proposed order to the ICC.

Prior to the quarter ended September 30, 2007, PGL had recorded liabilities associated with the $11.6 million related to 2005 Hub revenues and $3.6 million primarily related to the ICC staff’s proposed disallowance associated with the Gas Purchase and Agency Agreement that was at issue in the fiscal 2001-2004 cases (and in effect for only one month after 2004), which PGL stated in its rebuttal testimony it is not contesting. Both amounts are inclusive of accrued interest. In the quarter ended September 30, 2007, PGL recorded additional expense of $7.2 million (including interest).  As a result, a Gas Charge reconciliation current liability of $22.4 million as of September 30, 2007, which includes interest, is equal to the refund that would be required if the proposed order from the administrative law judges is adopted.

The fiscal 2006 Gas Charge reconciliation case was initiated on November 21, 2006.  PGL filed its direct testimony on April 10, 2007.  On May 16, 2007, the ICC initiated a Gas Charge reconciliation case for the period of October 2006 through December 2006 to cover the gap created by PGL's move to a calendar year reconciliation period.  The ICC staff moved to consolidate the new case with the fiscal 2006 case, and the administrative law judge granted the motion in July 2007.  PGL's direct testimony was filed October 17, 2007.  At a status hearing in the consolidated case in September 2007, the administrative law judge continued the matter generally and directed the parties to file a proposed schedule within sixty days of the ICC’s issuance of an order in the fiscal 2005 Gas Charge case.

Class Action

In February 2004, a purported class action was filed in Cook County Circuit Court against PEC, PGL and NSG by customers of PGL and NSG alleging, among other things, violation of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act related to matters at issue in the utilities’ fiscal year 2001

- 17 -

Gas Charge reconciliation proceedings. The suit, Alport et al. v. Peoples Energy Corporation, seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. PGL and NSG have been dismissed as defendants and the only remaining counts of the suit allege violations of the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act and that PEC acted in concert with others to commit a tortious act. PEC denies the allegations and is vigorously defending the suit.

Based upon the settlement and dismissal of PGL's fiscal years 2001 through 2004 reconciliation cases by the ICC, the court on September 25, 2006, granted in part PEC's motion to dismiss the case by limiting the potential class members in the suit to those persons who were customers during the time that PEC’s joint venture with Enron was in operation and did not receive part of the settlement proceeds from the reconciliation cases. However, the court denied PEC’s motion to dismiss the case to the extent that the complaint seeks punitive damages (regardless of whether such customers received part of the settlement proceeds from the reconciliation cases). The plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint and a motion for class certification and on April 25, 2007, the court denied, without prejudice, plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. On June 29, 2007, PEC filed a motion to dismiss the proceeding for failure to join a necessary party. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on July 11, 2007. Subsequently, PEC's motion to delay responding to the amended complaint until the court rules on the motion to dismiss was granted. Management cannot predict the outcome of this litigation and has not recorded a liability associated with this contingency.

Corrosion Control Inspection Proceeding

State and federal law requires gas utilities to conduct periodic corrosion control inspections on natural gas pipelines.  On April 19, 2006, the ICC initiated a citation proceeding related to such inspections that were required to be performed by PGL during 2003 and 2004, but which were not completed in the requisite timeframe.  On November 3, 2006, PGL and all intervening parties filed a stipulation to settle the ICC proceeding, and the ICC staff separately filed in support of the stipulation.  The ICC entered an order approving the stipulation on December 20, 2006.  Under the stipulation, PGL agreed that it had not been in compliance with applicable regulations, and further agreed to pay a penalty of $1 million, pay for a consultant to conduct a comprehensive investigation of its compliance with ICC pipeline safety regulations, remain compliant with those regulations, not seek recovery in future rate cases of certain costs related to non-compliance and hold meetings with Chicago to exchange information. This order resolves only the ICC proceeding and does not constitute a release of any other potential actions outside of the ICC proceeding.  PGL recorded a liability of $1 million in September of 2006 associated with the settlement.  On March 27, 2007, the $1 million payment was tendered to the State of Illinois. With respect to the comprehensive investigation, the ICC selected an auditor for this matter and the auditor, the ICC staff and PGL began the investigation process during the second quarter of 2007. No findings or recommendations have yet been communicated.

On May 16, 2006, the AG served a subpoena requesting documents relating to PGL’s corrosion inspections.  PGL’s counsel has met with representatives of the AG’s office and provided documents relating to the subpoena.  Management cannot predict the outcome of this investigation and has not recorded a liability associated with this contingency.

On July 10, 2006, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois served a grand jury subpoena on PGL requesting documents relating to PGL’s corrosion inspections.  PGL’s counsel has met with the U.S. Attorney’s office and provided documents relating to corrosion inspections.  Management cannot predict the outcome of this investigation and has not recorded a liability associated with this contingency.

Builders Class Action

In June 2005, a purported class action was filed against PEC and its utility subsidiaries, including PGL, by Birchwood Builders, LLC in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois alleging that PGL was fraudulently and improperly charging fees to customers with respect to utility connections, disconnections, reconnections, relocations, extensions of natural gas service pipes and extensions of distribution natural gas mains and failing to return related customer deposits.  PGL filed two motions to dismiss the lawsuit.

- 18 -

On January 25, 2007, the judge entered an order dismissing the complaint, but allowing the plaintiffs the option of filing an amended complaint (except as to the plaintiffs’ seeking of declaratory relief, which was dismissed with prejudice).  The judge also ruled that the plaintiffs could file their claims directly with the ICC. On June 28, 2007, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint with the Circuit Court. PGL responded by filing a motion to dismiss and is awaiting a decision on this motion. PGL continues to believe it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend against the class action lawsuit.  Management cannot predict the outcome of this litigation and has not recorded a liability associated with this contingency.

Property Taxes

PGL is currently disputing property tax assessments in Harrison County, Texas in connection with natural gas PGL stores pursuant to storage service agreements with Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America. This matter began in 2003 when the Harrison Central Appraisal District (“HCAD”) issued a Notice of Appraised Value to PGL providing that property allegedly owned by PGL was located in Harrison County and subject to property tax.  The HCAD issued similar notices for tax years 2004 through 2006. For each of these years, PGL filed an administrative protest to dispute the inclusion and/or valuation of property attributable to PGL.  Following adverse decisions by the Appraisal Review Board, PGL filed suit in state district court to review the decisions of the Appraisal Review Board for tax years 2003 through 2005. PGL paid approximately $1.7 million in aggregate for tax years 2003 through 2007 under protest to proceed with its judicial review of the Appraisal Review Board’s orders. These amounts have been recorded as deferred charges on PGL’s balance sheet pending resolution of the matter. On June 1, 2007, the trial court entered a final judgment in favor of the HCAD and against PGL for tax years 2003 through 2005.  PGL appealed the trial court's decision, and PGL’s brief is due November 30, 2007. Management cannot predict the outcome of this litigation and has not recorded a liability associated with this loss contingency.

NOTE 10--COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” requires the reporting of other comprehensive income in addition to net income (loss).  Total comprehensive income includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by PGL's shareholder and distributions to PGL's shareholder.  PGL’s total comprehensive income (loss) is:

Retiring employees have the option of receiving retirement benefits in the form of an annuity or a lump sum payment.  PGL follows SFAS No. 88, "Employer's Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Plans and for Termination Benefits" ("SFAS No. 88"), to account for unrecognized gains and losses related to the settlement of its pension plans' projected benefit obligations ("PBO").  During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, a portion of each pension plan's PBO was settled by the payment of lump sum benefits, resulting in a settlement cost under SFAS No. 88.

Under the provisions of SFAS No. 71, amounts otherwise charged/credited to other comprehensive income upon application of SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)" ("SFAS No. 158"), should be recorded as a regulatory asset or liability if the utility has historically recovered or currently recovers pension expense under SFAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions”, and other postretirement benefit expense under SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions,” in rates and there is no negative evidence that the existing regulatory treatment will change.  In accordance with SFAS No. 71, PGL recorded in regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities the net impact of recognizing the funded status of its plans upon implementation of SFAS No. 158 on December 31, 2006.

- 20 -

During the third quarter of 2007, a series of changes were made to the retirement benefit plans for non-union employees which included: closure of the defined benefit pension plans effective January 1, 2008; a freeze in defined benefit pension service accruals effective as of January 1, 2013; and a freeze in compensation amounts used for determining defined benefit pension amounts effective as of January 1, 2018.

The impact of the plan design changes was considered a significant event and a remeasurement of the pension assets and benefit obligations for non-union employees was performed as of August 1, 2007. The plan design changes resulted in a net curtailment loss that is not expected to be significant and will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2007 due to the three-month lag in PGL’s measurement date.

The amount of pension and other postretirement benefit costs deferred as a net regulatory asset at September 30, 2007 was $112.9 million and $30.9 million, respectively. Deferred amounts are expected to be recovered in rates over the employees' average remaining service period.

Contributions to the plans are made in accordance with legal and tax requirements and do not necessarily occur evenly throughout the year.  During the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, $0.5 million in contributions have been made. PGL anticipates making no additional contributions to its pension plans or its other postretirement benefits plans during the year ending December 31, 2007.

PGL has defined contribution plans that allow eligible employees to contribute a portion of their income in accordance with specified guidelines.  PGL matches a percentage of the employee contribution up to certain limits.  The cost of PGL's matching contribution to the plans totaled $0.6 million for each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and $1.8 million and $1.7 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

NOTE 12--REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

Merger

The PEC merger with WPS Resources Corporation was consummated effective February 21, 2007. Pursuant to the merger agreement, management of both companies jointly selected Integrys as the new name for the combinedcompany. PGL and NSG are wholly-owned by PEC.

On February 7, 2007, the ICC approved the merger by accepting an agreed upon order among the active parties to the merger case. The order included Conditions of Approval regarding commitments by the applicants to:

·   provide certain reports,

·   perform studies of the PGL gas system,

·   promote and hire a limited number of union employees in specific areas,

·   make no reorganization-related layoffs or position reductions within the PGL union workforce,

·   maintain PGL's operation and maintenance and capital budgets at recent levels,

·   file a plan for formation and implementation of a service company,

·   accept certain limits on the merger-related costs that can be recovered from ratepayers, and

·   not seek cost recovery for any increase in deferred tax assets that may result from the tax treatment of the PGL storage gas inventory in connection with closing the merger.

The Conditions of Approval also include commitments with respect to the pending rate cases of PGL and NSG. These are the inclusion of merger synergy savings of $11.4 million at PGL in the proposed test year, the recovery of $6.2 million at PGL of the merger-related costs in the test year (reflecting recovery of $30.9 million for PGL of costs over 5 years), proposing a combined PGL and NSG $7.5 million energy efficiency program which will be contingent on receiving cost recovery in the rate case orders, and filing certain changes to the small volume transportation service programs. Finally, the order provides authority

- 21 -

for PGL and NSG to recover from ratepayers in a future rate case after the pending rate cases up to an additional $9.9 million of combined merger costs, for a maximum potential recovery of $44.9 million. PGL and NSG must demonstrate in the future that merger synergy savings realized have exceeded the merger costs. At September 30, 2007, the regulatory asset balance representing PGL merger costs to be recovered totaled $12.2 million.

Rate Case

On March 9, 2007, PGL filed a request with the ICC to increase natural gas rates for PGL by $102.5 million on an annual basis for 2008. The proposed rate increase is required to allow PGL to recover its current cost of service and to provide a reasonable rate of return on its equity investment. The filing includes an 11.06% return on common equity and a common equity ratio of 56% in its regulatory capital structure.

PGL has also proposed four "riders" that would allow changes in costs to be passed through between rate cases.  The four riders are:

·   a "decoupling" mechanism that would allow PGL to adjust rates going forward to recover or refund the difference between actual recovered non-gas cost revenue and authorized non-gas cost revenue;

·   a mechanism to recover the return on, and return of, capital investment in excess of historical capital investment associated with accelerating the replacement of cast iron main;

·   a mechanism to recover the gas cost portion of uncollectible expense based on current gas prices; and

·   a mechanism to recover $6.4 million of energy efficiency costs under a program to be approved by the ICC.

The rate case process in Illinois requires receipt of a written order from the ICC within 11 months from the date of filing, which would be February 5, 2008.  On June 29, 2007, the ICC staff filed its direct testimony and on July 24, 2007, filed supplemental direct testimony on one issue in the PGL and NSG rate cases, which have been consolidated.  The return on common equity recommended by the ICC staff for PGL was 9.7%.  The ICC staff opposed the proposed riders to address specific costs and revenues between rate cases, but offered alternative proposals for each rider if the ICC decides to approve the riders.  Intervenors also filed direct testimony on June 29, 2007 and July 3, 2007.  In its rebuttal testimony, PGL changed its requested revenue requirement increase to approximately $99 million.

On September 5, 2007, PGL filed surrebuttal testimony, changing the requested revenue requirement increase to approximately $94.9 million.  The reductions from the original request were primarily to reflect more current information on capital spending and natural gas price sensitive expenses.  Hearings were held in Chicago from September 10 through September 17, 2007.  Briefs were filed on October 12, 2007.  Reply briefs and a draft order were filed October 23, 2007.  The ICC staff's initial brief proposes an increase of $53.4 million for PGL.  The administrative law judges are expected to file a proposed order on November 20, 2007 with exceptions due December 10, 2007 and replies to exceptions due December 17, 2007.

NOTE 13--SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS

Prior to the PEC merger, PGL reported all of its utility and non-utility operations within the Gas Distribution segment and reported general corporate allocations to it under the Corporate and Other segment.

Effective with the quarter ended March 31, 2007, PGL’s results of operations, including allocations for corporate activities, are reported in the Gas Utility segment with non-utility operations reported in the Other segment. Corresponding items for the prior year have been restated for the change in segment reporting.

NOTE 14--NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” ("SFAS No. 157").  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and states that a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The standard eliminates the current requirement for deferring "day one" gains on energy contracts that are not evidenced by quoted market prices or other current market transactions. The standard will be effective for PGL beginning January 1, 2008. PGL is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 157 will have on its financial statements.

- 23 -

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities."  This standard permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, following the provisions of SFAS No. 157.  Included within the scope of the standard are all recognized financial assets and financial liabilities, except consolidated investments, consolidated interests in a variable interest entity, obligations for pension and certain other benefits, leases, and financial instruments that are classified as a component of shareholder's equity. Also included in the scope of the standard are firm commitments that would otherwise not be recognized at inception and that involve only financial instruments, nonfinancial insurance contracts and warranties that the insurer can settle by paying a third party to provide those goods or services, and host financial instruments resulting from separation of an embedded nonfinancial derivative instrument from a nonfinancial hybrid instrument.  SFAS No. 159 is effective for PGL beginning January 1, 2008.  PGL does not anticipate electing the fair value option for any eligible items at the January 1, 2008 adoption date.  However, after January 1, 2008, PGL will continue to evaluate the fair value election for eligible items on a case by case basis.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations

INTRODUCTION

PGL is a regulated utility, which purchases, stores, distributes, sells and transports natural gas to about 826,900 residential, commercial and industrial retail sales and transportation customers in Chicago.  PGL utilizes its storage and pipeline supply assets as a natural gas hub ("Hub").  This activity is regulated by FERC and consists of providing wholesale transportation and storage services in interstate commerce.

Strategic Overview

The focus of PGL’s business plan is the creation of long-term value for Integrys and its shareholders and for PGL's customers through growth, operational excellence, asset management, and the continued emphasis on reliable, competitively priced, and environmentally sound natural gas services. A discussion of the essential components of PGL's business strategy is set forth below.

Maintain and Grow a Strong Regulated Utility Base - A strong regulated utility base is important in order to maintain a strong balance sheet, predictable cash flows, a desired risk profile, and quality credit ratings, which are critical to PGL's success.  PGL believes the merger between Integrys and PEC will help maintain and grow its regulated utility base. To this end, PGL continues to upgrade its gas distribution facilities, related systems, and processes to enhance safety, reliability, and value for PGL's customers and Integrys' shareholders.

Integrate Resources to Provide Operational Excellence - PGL is committed to integrating resources and finding the best, most efficient processes while adhering to any and all applicable regulatory and legal restrictions. Through innovative ideas, embracing change, leveraging individual capabilities and expertise and utilizing creative solutions to meet and exceed its customers' expectations, PGL strives to provide value to Integrys shareholders and PGL customers and assist in lowering costs for certain activities. PGL works to optimally source work and combine resources to achieve best practices in order to achieve operational excellence and sustainable value for PGL's customers and Integrys' shareholders.

Place Strong Emphasis on Asset and Risk Management - PGL's risk management strategy includes the management of market, credit, and operational risk through the normal course of business. Forward purchases and sales of natural gas allow for opportunities to reduce the risk associated with price movement in a volatile market. PGL's asset management strategy calls for the continuous assessment of its existing assets, including the disposition of assets which are no longer needed for ongoing operations.

Continued Emphasis on Safe, Reliable, Competitively Priced, and Environmentally Sound Natural Gas Services - PGL's mission is to provide customers with the best value in natural gas services. By effectively operating its gas distribution facilities, while maintaining or exceeding environmental standards, PGL seeks to provide a safe, reliable, and value priced service to its customers. PGL concentrates its efforts on improving and operating efficiently and effectively in order to reduce costs and maintain a low risk profile. PGL manages its operations to reduce the impact it might have on the environment.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Third Quarter 2007 Compared with Third Quarter 2006

Overview of Operations

PGL’s net loss was $(27.3) million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to $(15.4) million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Results for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, were impacted by a $6.6 million pretax charge included in operating and maintenance expense ($7.2 million pretax inclusive of interest) and related to the fiscal 2005 Gas Charge settlement case as discussed in Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements. 

Due to a number of factors, including the seasonality of PGL's businesses and market price volatility, the quarterly results of operations should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for the year as a whole.

Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 increased $1.8 million (1.6%) compared with the same year-ago period.  The increase was due to the impact on revenues of higher natural gas prices (approximately $10 million) that are recovered on a dollar-for-dollar basis and the impact (approximately $3 million) of a higher percentage of volumes billed out at higher per therm distribution rates for lower blocks of throughput. These increases were partially offset by the impact on revenues of decreased natural gas throughput volumes due to weather (approximately $2 million) that was 52.2% warmer compared with the same year-ago period and decreased natural gas throughput volumes due to lower weather-normalized demand (approximately $10 million). Natural gas costs were 19.0% higher (on a per-unit basis) during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same quarter in 2006.  Following regulatory practice, changes in the total cost of natural gas are passed on to customers.

PGL's margin decreased $1.2 million (1.9%) for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same quarter in 2006, primarily due to the impact of decreased natural gas throughput volumes due to weather (approximately $0.5 million) that was 52.2% warmer compared with the same year-ago period, and decreased natural gas throughput volumes due to lower weather-normalized demand (approximately $2 million). These decreases were partially offset by higher revenues related to increased utility environmental costs of $1.4 million recovered through the utility's environmental rate recovery mechanism. These costs are related to investigation and remediation activities at multiple sites that formerly had operations for gas manufacturing and the storage of manufactured gas (see Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion). A similar expense amount is included in operating and maintenance expenses, therefore this increase in margin does not affect operating income.

See Notes 1, “Financial Information,” and 3, “Revenue Recognition,” in the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements for a discussion of a change in accounting policy with regards to presenting both revenues and taxes, other than income taxes, net of certain taxes on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

	Three Months Ended September 30,
PGL's Operating Expenses (Millions)	2007		2006		Change
Operating and maintenance expenses	$	73.2	$	63.0		16.2	%
Depreciation and amortization		16.4		14.6		12.3	%
Taxes, other than income taxes		4.2		4.1		2.4	%

Operating and Maintenance Expenses

Operating and maintenance expenses increased $10.2 million (16.2%), to $73.2 million during the third quarter of 2007, from $63.0 million during the third quarter of 2006, driven by the following:

·   Increased maintenance expense of $3.0 million related primarily to the cost of distribution system inspections and local surface restoration requirements, including increases in allocated overhead costs.

·   Increased injuries and damages expense of $3.0 million

·   Increased utility environmental costs of $1.4 million related to investigation and remediation activities at multiple sites that formerly had operations for gas manufacturing and the storage of manufactured gas (see Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion).  These costs are recovered through the utility’s environmental rate recovery mechanism and a similar amount is included in revenues, therefore these costs do not affect operating income.

·   Accrued expenses of $6.6 million (excluding interest) related to the fiscal 2005 Gas Charge reconciliation case as discussed in Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements.

·   Decreased other operating expenses of $3.7 million, including materials and supplies expense, bad debt expense, software and hardware expense, insurance premiums, restricted stock expense and other gas supply expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, increased $1.8 million (12.3%) mainly due to the impacts of a higher year-over-year property, plant and equipment balance due primarily to capital expenditures for PGL's gas distribution system.

- 27 -

Taxes Other Than Income Taxes

Taxes other than income taxes for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, increased $0.1 million (2.4%) primarily due to higher payroll-related taxes resulting from increased labor expenses.

Other (Expense) Income

	Three Months Ended September 30,
PGL’s Other (Expense) Income (Millions)	2007			2006			Change
Miscellaneous income	$	1.0		$	1.7		(41.2	)%
Interest expense		(8.5	)		(6.9	)	23.2	%
Other (expense) income	$	(7.5	)	$	(5.2	)	44.2	%

Miscellaneous Income

Miscellaneous income decreased $0.7 million (41.2%) due to declines in interest income.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three-month period increased $1.6 million (23.2%) due to higher interest rates on higher amounts of short-term borrowing balances.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax benefit for the quarter-ended September 30, 2007 increased $3.7 million primarily due to a higher taxable loss. See Note 8, “Income Taxes,” in the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements for a discussion of accounting for income taxes on an interim period basis.

Nine Months 2007 Compared with Nine Months 2006

Overview of Operations

PGL’s net loss was $(18.6) million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, compared to $(11.2) million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006. Results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, were impacted primarily by a $23.0 million pretax charge related to the funding of the Conservation Programs, as discussed in Note 9 “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements, and by a $6.6 million pretax charge included in operating and maintenance expense ($7.2 million pretax inclusive of interest) and related to the fiscal 2005 Gas Charge reconciliation case also discussed in Note 9. Results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, were impacted by a $28.4 million pretax charge related to a settlement of PGL's Gas Charge proceedings for 2001 through 2004 with the ICC.

Revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 increased $47.6 million (5.2%) compared with the same year-ago period. These results reflected the impact on revenues of increased natural gas throughput volumes due to weather (approximately $95 million) that was 11.2% colder compared with the same year-ago period, partially offset by the impact on revenues of lower natural gas prices (approximately $38 million) that are recovered on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and decreased deliveries due to lower weather-normalized demand (approximately $7 million).  Natural gas costs were 5.6% lower (on a per-unit basis) during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006.  Following regulatory practice, changes in the total cost of natural gas are passed on to customers.

- 28 -

PGL's margin increased $25.1 million (8.7%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same year-ago period in 2006, primarily due to the impact of increased natural gas throughput volumes due to weather (approximately $11 million) that was 11.2% colder compared with the same year-ago period and an increase in revenues related to increased utility environmental costs of $13.8 million recovered through the utility's environmental rate recovery mechanism. These costs are related to investigation and remediation activities at multiple sites that formerly had operations for gas manufacturing and the storage of manufactured gas (see Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in  the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion). A similar expense amount is included in operating and maintenance expenses, therefore this increase in margin does not affect operating income.

See Notes 1, “Financial Information,” and 3, “Revenue Recognition,” in the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements for a discussion of a change in accounting policy with regards to presenting both revenues and taxes, other than income taxes, net of certain taxes on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

PGL’s results of operations for the nine-month periods ended September 30 are shown in the following table:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,

Operating and Maintenance Expenses

Operating and maintenance expenses increased $32.2 million (15.5%), to $240.1 million during the nine- month period ended September 30, 2007, from $207.9 million during the same year-ago period of 2006, driven by the following:

·   Increased utility environmental costs of $13.8 million related to investigation and remediation activities at multiple sites that formerly had operations for gas manufacturing and the storage of manufactured gas (see Note 9, "Commitments and Contingencies," in the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion).  These costs are recovered through the utility’s environmental rate recovery mechanism and a similar amount is included in revenues, therefore these costs do not affect operating income.

·   Increased maintenance expense of $9.5 million related primarily to the cost of distribution system inspections and local surface restoration requirements, including increases in allocated overhead costs.

·   Increased injuries and damages expense of $6.4 million.

·   Accrued expenses of $9.9 million (excluding interest) related to the fiscal 2005 Gas Charge reconciliation case, as discussed in Note 9, "Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Condensed Notes to the Financial Statements.

·   Decreased bad debt expense of $5.7 million due primarily to improved credit and collection experience.

Gas Charge Settlement

In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, PGL recorded a $23.0 million pretax charge related to the funding of the Conservation Programs, as discussed in Note 9, "Commitments and Contingencies," in the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements.

In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, PGL recorded a $28.4 million pretax charge related to a settlement of PGL's Gas Charge proceedings for 2001 through 2004 with the ICC, as discussed in Note 9, "Commitments and Contingencies," in the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, increased $3.2 million (7.4%) mainly due to the impact of a higher year-over-year property, plant and equipment balance due primarily to capital expenditures for PGL's gas distribution system.

Taxes Other Than Income Taxes

Taxes other than income taxes for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, increased $0.7 million (5.3%) primarily due to higher payroll-related taxes resulting from increased labor expenses.

Miscellaneous income decreased $1.5 million (32.6%) due to declines in interest income.

- 30 -

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the nine-month period increased $2.2 million (10.6%) due to higher interest rates on higher amounts of short-term borrowing balances.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax benefit for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 increased $1.9 million primarily due to a higher taxable loss. See Note 8, “Income Taxes,” in the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements for a discussion of accounting for income taxes on an interim period basis.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We believe that our cash balances, liquid assets, operating cash flows, access to capital markets, and borrowing capacity (intercompany and third-party) made available because of strong credit ratings, when taken together, provide adequate resources to fund ongoing operating requirements and future capital expenditures.  However, our operating cash flows and access to capital markets can be impacted by macroeconomic factors outside of our control.  In addition, our borrowing costs can be impacted by short-term and long-term debt ratings assigned by independent rating agencies.

Cash Flows Variations

The following is a summary of cash flows for PGL:

(Millions)	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	29.0		$	175.7
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	$	(67.0	)	$	(63.5	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	38.0		$	(81.4	)

Operating Cash Flows

Cash provided by operating activities decreased for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, primarily due to unfavorable net changes in working capital. In the accompanying cash flow statements balance sheet changes in current deferred tax assets and other receivables exclude certain noncash transactions (primarily the effects of MTM accounting).  For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, balance sheet changes in PGL's receivables from related parties and payables to related parties exclude the noncash effects of derivative activity previously conducted on its behalf by PEC.

Investing Cash Flows

Net cash used in investing activities increased primarily as a result of decreases in proceeds from the sale of assets and in the intercompany note receivable from NSG in 2006, partially offset by a decrease in capital spending in 2007.

Financing Cash Flows

Net cash provided by financing activities increased primarily due to borrowings from PEC in 2007 and the decrease in the retirement of commercial paper, partially offset by the impact of the issuance of common stock in 2006.

- 31 -

Credit Ratings

The current credit ratings for PGL have not changed since the filing of the combined PEC, PGL and NSG Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.

The credit ratings at September 30, 2007 for PGL are listed in the table below.

	Standard & Poor's	Moody's
Senior secured debt	A-	A1
Commercial paper	A-2	P-1

PGL believes these ratings continue to be among the best in the energy industry and allow PGL to access commercial paper and long-term debt markets on favorable terms. Credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, are subject to change, and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

Balance Sheet Variations

Total assets at September 30, 2007 increased $142.9 million compared to December 31, 2006, due to a net increase in regulatory assets (related primarily to an increase in the environmental remediation liability, as discussed in Note 9, "Commitments and Contingencies," in the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements) and a seasonal increase in natural gas in storage, partially offset by a seasonal decreases in customer and other receivables and accrued unbilled revenues. The decrease in current liabilities was driven by the seasonal decrease in customer credit balances and decreases in accounts payable and accrued interest and taxes.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase resulting from the movement of $50.0 million to current portion of long-term debt and the increase in the fiscal 2005 Gas Charge reconciliation liability discussed in Note 9 , "Commitments and Contingencies," in the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements. Long-term liabilities and deferred credits increased due to an increase in the environmental remediation liability and due to the Conservation Programs liability accrued during the second quarter and discussed in Note 9, "Commitments and Contingencies," in the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements.  Total capitalization decreased primarily due to the movement of $50.0 million to current portion of long-term debt as discussed in Note 6, "Long-Term Debt," in the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements.

Total assets at September 30, 2007 increased $264.6 million compared to September 30, 2006, due to a net increase in regulatory assets (related primarily to an increase in the environmental remediation liability) and increases in property, plant and equipment, natural gas in storage and customer and other receivables. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a decrease in prepaid pension costs due to the impact of adopting SFAS No. 158 at December 31, 2006. The increase in current liabilities was driven by the movement of $50.0 million to current portion of long-term debt and an increase in short-term borrowings, partially offset by decreases in accounts payable, gas costs refundable through rate adjustments, and customer credit balances. Long-term liabilities and deferred credits increased primarily due to the increase in the environmental remediation liability, the increase in pension and other postretirement benefits liabilities due to the impact of adopting SFAS No. 158 and the Conservation Programs liability accrued during the second quarter. Total capitalization decreased primarily due to the movement of $50.0 million to current portion of long-term debt.

Future Capital Requirements and Resources

Contractual Obligations

The following table shows the contractual obligations of PGL as of September 30, 2007.

	Payments Due by Period
					2008-		2010-		2012 and
(Millions)	Total		2007		2009		2011		Thereafter
Long-term debt obligations	$	502.0	$	-	$	50.0	$	50.0	$	402.0
Estimated interest payments on debt		495.8		5.7		44.6		41.6		403.9
Operating leases obligations		23.1		0.8		6.5		6.9		8.9
Purchase obligations		324.2		27.6		113.9		71.8		110.9
Minimum pension funding		8.1		-		8.1		-		-
Total contractual cash obligations	$	1,353.2	$	34.1	$	223.1	$	170.3	$	925.7

The table above does not reflect any payments related to the manufactured gas plant remediation liability of $433.7 million at September 30, 2007 as the amount and timing of payments are uncertain. See Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements for more information about PGL’s environmental liabilities.

As of September 30, 2007, surety bonds totaling $0.1 million and a standby letter of credit in the amount of $100,000 had been issued on PGL's behalf.

Capital Requirements

PGL makes large investments in capital assets. Net construction expenditures are expected to be $422.4 million in the aggregate for the 2007 through 2009 period. The largest of these expenditures is for the pipe distribution system (primarily to replace cast iron mains) and underground gas storage facilities. Expenditures to accelerate cast iron mains replacement at PGL are expected to total approximately $60 million through 2009 and are included in the $422.4 million estimate. The accelerated amount of the cast iron main replacement is contingent upon ICC approval of a rider proposed by PGL in its current rate case (see Rate Case discussion in this MD&A) seeking a mechanism to recover the return on, and return of, capital investment in excess of historical capital investment associated with accelerating the replacement of cast iron main.

Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2007, PGL had committed credit facilities of $250 million, of which $193.7 million were available. The PGL $250 million 5-year syndicated credit agreement expires in July 2010. The facilities are expected to be renewed when they expire, although the exact amount of the renewals will be evaluated at that time and may change from the current level.

PGL has the ability to borrow up to $150 million from PEC and to loan to or borrow from NSG up to $50 million.  As of September 30, 2007, PGL had loans of $66.5 million outstanding from PEC.  As of September 30, 2007, there were no loans between PGL and NSG.

PGL's indenture relating to its first mortgage bonds contains provisions and covenants restricting the payment of cash dividends and the purchase or redemption of capital stock.  As of September 30, 2007, PGL was in compliance with all of the covenants under its lines of credit and other obligations.  For the period 2007 through 2009, PGL plans to use internally generated funds net of forecasted dividend

payments, debt financings and equity infusions to fund capital requirements.  PGL plans to maintain current debt to equity ratios at appropriate levels to support current credit ratings and growth.  Management believes PGL has adequate financial flexibility and resources to meet its future needs.

Other Future Considerations

Gas Charge Reconciliation Proceedings and Related Matters

For PGL, the ICC conducts annual proceedings regarding the reconciliation of revenues from the Gas Charge and related gas costs. In these proceedings, the accuracy of the reconciliation of revenues and costs is reviewed and the prudence of gas costs recovered through the Gas Charge is examined by interested parties. (See Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements.)

In February 2004, a purported class action was filed against PEC, PGL and NSG by customers of PGL and NSG alleging, among other things, violation of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act related to matters at issue in the utilities' Gas Charge reconciliation proceedings.  (See Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements.)

Environmental Matters

PGL is conducting environmental investigations and remedial work at certain sites that were the locations of former manufactured gas operations.  (See Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements.)

Proposed Cook County Illinois Gas Use Tax and Sales Tax

An ordinance has recently been proposed by Cook County, Illinois that would impose a tax on the privilege of using or consuming natural gas within the corporate limits of Cook County, Illinois.  If enacted as currently proposed, the tax would apply to natural gas for which the delivery to the customer is billed by a public utility on or after January 1, 2008.  The tax rate set forth in the ordinance is 5.2 cents per therm and will adjust annually according to the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) and the CPI Adjustment Formula described in the ordinance. The proposed gas use tax is expected to be collected by PGL under a negotiated collection agreement and thus will have no significant impact on PGL's results of operations.

An ordinance has recently been proposed by Cook County, Illinois to increase the County's "Sales Tax" which consists of the Retailers Occupation Tax and the Service Occupation Tax, from 0.75% to 3% over a two year period. The ordinance proposes to increase the County's Retailers Occupation Tax and the Service Occupation Tax from 0.75% to 1.5% commencing January 1, 2008, another increase from 1.5% to 2.25% beginning January 1, 2009 and a final increase from 2.25% to 3% commencing January 1, 2010. The proposed increase in the Sales Tax would impact the cost of certain goods and services purchased by PGL for use in its operations.

Service Company

As part of the regulatory approval process associated with the acquisition of PEC and its addition to the holding company system, Integrys Energy Group agreed to formally propose the formation of a centralized service company to provide administrative and general support services to Integrys Energy Group's six regulated utilities. These services will include categories such as legal, accounting and finance, environmental, information technology, purchasing and warehousing, human resources, administrative services (e.g., real estate, printing, etc.), external/regulatory affairs, natural gas services, and natural gas supply, among others. In addition, many of these same services will also be provided to Integrys Energy Group's nonregulated subsidiaries following all affiliated interest rules and laws. The creation of a centralized service company will require Integrys Energy Group and its regulated utility subsidiaries (including PGL) to move many of the employees supporting these functions into the new service company. Certain assets will also be transferred by affiliates (primarily WPSC, PGL, and PEC) to the service company. On June 6, 2007, the service company entity, Integrys Business Support, LLC (“Integrys Business Support”), was formed.  Integrys Business Support will become an operational centralized service company as soon as practicable upon receipt of necessary regulatory approvals or waivers in a form acceptable to Integrys Energy Group.  On June 8, 2007, Integrys Energy Group and its regulated utilities filed applications with the ICC, PSCW, MPUC, and MPSC seeking necessary regulatory approvals or waivers associated with the formation and operation of the service company. The requested approvals relate to and include the categories of services to be delivered by Integrys Business Support, the contracts and arrangements governing the provision of such inter-company services, the transfer of assets and employees to Integrys Business Support, and other aspects of Integrys Business Support operations and relations with its various affiliates. The required regulatory approvals or waivers were requested with the intent that Integrys Business Support become operational by January 1, 2008, if practicable.  To date, informal dispositions or other agreed-upon resolutions have been reached on all material issues raised in the four state jurisdictions.  Integrys Energy Group does not currently anticipate any contested issues that would prevent receipt of the required pre-operational regulatory approvals or waivers, nor that would prevent Integrys Business Support from becoming operational by January 1, 2008, if so desired.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

See the MD&A in the combined PEC, PGL and NSG Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 for a detailed discussion of PGL’s critical accounting policies.  These policies include Regulated Operations, Environmental Activities Relating to Former Manufactured Gas Operations, Retirement and Postretirement Benefits, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, Provision for Uncollectible Accounts, and Depreciation and Amortization.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

PGL has potential market risk exposure related to commodity price risk.  Exposure to commodity price risk results from the impact of market fluctuations on the prices of natural gas used by PGL in operations.  PGL has risk management policies in place to monitor and assist in controlling this risk and uses derivative instruments to manage some of these exposures.

Commodity Price Risk

Derivative Summary.  The following table summarizes the changes in valuation of all outstanding derivative contracts used by PGL to manage the commodity price risk associated with the purchase of natural gas for use in its own operations during the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.  All amounts are based on fair values at the end of the period and do not necessarily indicate that a gain or loss on the derivative will be recognized in income in future periods.  Generally, these cash flow hedge contracts are held to maturity, which coincides with recognition of the transaction being hedged (e.g., anticipated cost of purchases in earnings), thereby achieving the realization of prices contemplated by the underlying risk management strategies.

- 35 -

Other than as described below, PGL's market risks have not changed materially from the market risks reported in the combined PEC, PGL and NSG Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.

The change in the value of derivative contracts outstanding for the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 was due to the settlement of contracts at net realized losses and the impact of changes in the forward price curve of natural gas on new and existing positions during this same period.

The following table is a summary of the fair market value of PGL's natural gas swaps (commodity derivatives) at September 30, 2007 related to its cash flow hedge program for gas used in its own operations (including financial contracts discontinued as cash flow hedges).  Valuations are based on the NYMEX closing prices for the respective NYMEX Henry Hub futures contracts and on the closing prices published in various commodity pricing publications for the geographical differential between a specific location price and the NYMEX Henry Hub futures contract closing price where applicable.

(Fair Value amounts in thousands)
Maturity	Volumes (Mmbtu's)		Fair Value

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, PGL's management, including PGL's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of PGL's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and concluded that, as of the date of such evaluation, PGL’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in accumulating and timely alerting management to information relating to PGL as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure to be included in PGL's periodic SEC filings, particularly during the period in which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was being prepared.

Changes In Internal Control

Other than the merger between a subsidiary of Integrys and PEC discussed below, there were no changes in PGL's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, PGL's internal control over financial reporting.

Effective February 21, 2007, the merger mentioned above was consummated.  Integrys is currently in the process of extending its Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 Section 404 compliance program to include PGL, which process is intended to integrate PGL's internal control over financial reporting with that of Integrys.  See Notes 1, “Financial Information,” 3, “Revenue Recognition,” 12, “Regulatory Environment,” and 13, ”Segments of Business,” in the Condensed Notes to Financial Statements for additional information related to the merger.
