NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to
present fairly Northern States Power Company (Wisconsin)'s
(the Company's) financial position as of September 30, 1994
and December 31, 1993 and the results of its operations for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993
and cash flows for each of the nine months then ended.
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth
in Note 1 to the Company's financial statements in the 1993
Form 10-K. The following notes should be read in conjunction
with such policies and other disclosures in the Form 10-K.
1.Rate Matters
There were no changes in any of the Company's jurisdictions'
rates since the 1993 SEC Form 10-K was filed.
The Company plans to make a filing of a proposal for a new
high load factor rate with the Public Service Commission of
Wisconsin in November of 1994 that, if approved, would become
effective January 1, 1995. Under the proposal, qualifying
customers would receive a credit on their bills of up to 3
percent, depending on load factor. This is expected to reduce
1995 revenues by approximately $1.3 million.
The Company has offered and some of its wholesale customers
have accepted discounted rates for extended term contracts. These
discounts will not materially affect the Company's earnings.
2. Accounting Changes
Postemployment Benefits
Effective January 1, 1994, the company adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 112, Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits. This standard requires the accrual of
certain postemployment costs (such as injury compensation and
severance) that are payable in future time periods. The annual
expense for costs accrued under SFAS No. 112 is not materially
different than amounts recognized under the Company's prior accounting
method. The Company has recorded as expense its full liability
related to such costs in 1994.
Stock Compensation Expense
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) had previously issued
an Exposure Draft considering the accrual of compensation expense
related to certain stock awards beginning in 1997 with disclosure
required beginning in 1994. On June 8, 1994, the FASB agreed that no
disclosure requirements are required for 1994.
3. Contingent Liabilities
The Company is contingently liable to several financial institutions
for debt incurred by companies under the Company's Economic
Development Guaranty Program. At September 30, 1994, the Company was
contingently liable for approximately $1.9 million under the
agreements. No losses were sustained under these agreements during
1992, 1993 nor during the first nine months of 1994; the Company
anticipates no future material losses will result from these
agreements.
4. Parent Company and Intercompany Agreement-Resolution of
Operating Contingency
Although the Company does not own a nuclear facility, any impacts on
such facilities owned by Northern States Power Company (Minnesota),
the parent company, would be a cost included under the Interchange
Agreement and the Company would be charged its proportion of the
impact.
The parent company proposed construction of a temporary onsite dry
cask (container) storage facility for spent nuclear fuel at its
Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (Prairie Island). The on-site
storage pool was essentially filled in June 1994.
On May 10, 1994, the Governor of the State of Minnesota signed into
law a bill that authorizes NSP to install 17 dry casks at Prairie
Island if the Company satisfies certain responsibilities. NSP
executed an agreement with the Governor concerning the renewable
energy and alternative siting commitments contained in the new law and
is authorized the first increment of five casks. The second increment
of four casks would be available if the Minnesota Environmental
Quality Board finds that NSP has applied for an alternative site
license, used good faith in locating an alternative site and has
committed to build or purchase 100 megawatts (MW) of wind generation.
The final increment of eight casks would be available unless prior to
June 1, 1999, the Legislature specifically revokes this authorization
for the final eight casks, which can only happen if an alternative
storage site is not operational or under construction or if NSP fails
to meet certain renewable energy commitments by December 31, 1998.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Operations
Discussion of financial condition and liquidity is omitted per
conditions set forth in general instructions H (1) and (2) of Form 10-
Q for wholly-owned subsidiaries. (Reduced disclosure format.)
The Company's net income for the third quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1994 was $4.9 million and $26.6 million, respectively.
Net income increased $1.1 million for the third quarter and $1.0
million for the nine months ended September 30 from the comparable
periods a year ago. The increase in net income in the third quarter
is due to increased revenues from electric sales and an adjustment to
income taxes. The increase in net income in the nine months ended
September 30 reflects these items and increased gas revenues from
sales.
ELECTRIC SALES AND REVENUES
Electric revenues for the third quarter of 1994 increased $2.1 million
(2.4 percent) from the electric revenues for the third quarter of
1993. Electric sales increased 2.2 percent in the third quarter of
1994 as compared with the third quarter of 1993 due to the comparably
warm temperatures in September 1994 and increased sales to large
commercial and industrial customers who have expanded their
facilities. The increased electric wholesale rates effective in
September of 1993 resulted in approximately $0.1 million of the
increase in the third quarter.
In addition, electric revenues increased $0.8 million because of an
increase in other operating revenue. Other operating revenues consist
primarily of charges billed to Northern States Power Company, a
Minnesota Corporation (Minnesota Company) through the Interchange
Agreement. The Interchange Agreement is a cost-sharing arrangement
between the Company and the Minnesota Company in which electric
generation and transmission costs for the combined systems of the two
companies are shared.
Electric revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1994,
increased $10.6 million (3.9 percent) from the nine months ended
September 30, 1993. Electric sales revenues increased $9.2 million, a
4.3 percent increase over the first nine months of 1993, as a result
of 1994's weather and customer usage, especially in the large
commercial and industrial class where several customers' facilities
have expanded their operations increasing electricity needs.
Also, electric revenues increased $1.4 million because of an increase
in other operating revenue, largely the Interchange Agreement billing
to the Minnesota Company. The Wisconsin Company's fuel for electric
generation has increased as a result of system reliability
requirements and various outages; such fuel increases are included in
the billing to the Minnesota Company, causing the increase over 1993
levels.
GAS SALES AND REVENUES
Gas revenues increased $1.2 million (14.5 percent) and $5.4 million
(11.0 percent) in the third quarter and in the first nine months of
1994, respectively, compared to the same periods of 1993. This is
primarily due to increases in purchased gas commodity and
transportation costs in purchased gas adjustment clause revenues. The
third quarter's 12.5 percent increase and the first nine months' 4.4
percent increase in sales due to customer and usage increases more
than offset the impact of 1994's temperatures being slightly milder
than those of 1993.
Additionally, gas revenues during the three months ending September of
1994 increased by
$0.7 million as a result of an adjustment increasing unbilled gas
revenues due to reducing the 1994 loss factor affecting all nine
months' revenues.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses increased $1.8 million in the third quarter of 1994
as compared to the third quarter of 1993. Gas purchased for resale
increases made up $0.5 million of this increase and were the result of
higher commodity costs combined with increased purchased volumes to
supply the increased sales. The Company's increased electric sales
during the third quarter of 1994 over the third quarter of 1993
resulted in the Company's fuel for electric generation and its
purchased power and fuel as purchased under its interchange agreement
with its parent to increase by approximately $2.0 million.
Depreciation from increases in the Company's plant in service
increased $0.6 million in the third quarter of 1994 over the same
quarter of 1993.
Offsetting impacts of the mentioned expense increases are reflected in
the decrease of $5.8 million in current income tax expense. The
transfer of $3.1 million from current tax to deferred tax expense due
to a 1992 amendment to the filed tax return caused the current income
tax to decrease. An adjustment of $1.6 million decreasing current tax
expense was made in September 1994. This amount resulted from
updating the status of the estimated income tax payments expected to
be incurred as a result of unaudited tax years.
Operating expenses increased $15.3 million (5.4 percent) for the nine
months ended September 30, 1994, compared to the same period in 1993.
Gas purchased for resale increases made up $3.6 million of the
increases primarily as a result of volumes purchased to supply the
increase in sales. Purchased and interchange power combined with the
Company' generated fuel increased by approximately $7.7 million as a
result of the aforementioned sales increases combined with increased
costs associated with the NSP System's new (effective May 1993)
contract with Manitoba Hydro. Maintenance projects on the Company's
transmission lines were largely the cause of an increase of $1.7
million over the 1993 same nine months and depreciation increased $1.7
million over the same period as a result of added plant in service.
The company's Provision for Deferred Income Taxes has increased by
approximately $1.1 million. This is a net result of debt
reacquisitions that occurred in 1993 and the aforementioned transfer
from current tax to deferred tax. Offsetting impacts are reflected in
the current income tax expense for the aforementioned reasons.
OTHER INCOME
There were no material changes to other income and deductions in the
first three quarters of 1994 as compared with the first three quarters
of 1993.
INTEREST CHARGES
In March 1993, the Company issued $110.0 million of first mortgage
bonds due March 1, 2023 with an interest rate of 7-1/4%. The proceeds
from these bonds were used to redeem $47.5 million of
9-1/4% bonds, $38.4 million of 9-3/4% bonds, and $7.8 million of 9-
1/4% bonds. In October 1993, the Company issued $40.0 million of
first mortgage bonds due October 1, 2003 with an interest rate of 5-
3/4%. The proceeds from these bonds were used to redeem $24.3 million
of 7-3/4% bonds and $10.8 million of 4-1/2% bonds.
The lower interest costs resulting from these transactions were the
primary reason for a $0.3 million reduction in the first nine month's
interest charges compared to the charges of the first nine months of
1993. During the third quarter of 1994, interest costs were recorded
to reflect current estimations of income tax payments expected from
future IRS issues, causing the quarter's interest costs to increase
$0.5 from the levels of the third quarter of 1993.

money of the United States of America, and the interest shall be
payable in like money at the option of the person entitled to such
interest at said office of the Trustee at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, or at
the agency of the Company in Chicago, Illinois, or at the agency of
the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York.
Bonds of the Series due March 1, 2012, shall be dated as of the
interest payment date next preceding the authentication thereof by the
Trustee except that (i) if any bond shall be authenticated before
September 1, 1982, it shall be dated as of March 1, 1982, unless (iii)
below is applicable, (ii) if the Company shall at the time of the
authentication of a bond of the Series due March 1, 2012, be in
default in the payment of interest upon the bonds of the Series due
March 1, 2012, such bond shall be dated as of the date of the
beginning of the period for which such interest is so in default, and
(iii) as long as there is no existing default in the payment of
interest on the bonds of the
6
Series due March 1, 2012, if any bond of the Series due March l, 2012,
shall be authenticated after the close of business on any Record Date
but on or prior to the interest payment date relating to such Record
Date, it shall be dated as of such interest payment date.
As long as there is no existing default in the payment of
interest on the bonds of the Series due March 1, 2012, the person in
whose name any bond of the Series due March 1, 2012, is registered at
the close of business on any Record Date with respect to any interest
payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such
interest payment date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such
bond of the Series due March 1, 2012, subsequent to the Record Date
and on or prior to such interest payment date, except as and to the
extent the Company shall default in the interest due on such interest
payment date, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to
the person in whose name such bond of the Series due March 1, 2012, is
registered on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted
interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to
the registered holder of any bond of the Series due March 1, 2012, not
less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at
any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which the bonds of the
Series due March 1, 2012, may be listed, and upon such notice as may
be required by such exchange.
The term "Record Date" as used herein with respect to any
interest payment date (March 1 or September 1) shall mean the February
18 prior to such March 1 or August 21 prior to such September 1 unless
such February 18 or August 21 shall not be a business day, in which
event "Record Date" shall mean the next preceding business day. The
term "business day" as used herein shall mean any day other than a
Saturday or a Sunday or a day on which the office of the Trustee in
the City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is closed pursuant to authorization
of law.
As used in this Section 2.01, the term "default in the payment of
interest" means failure to pay interest on the applicable interest
payment date disregarding any period of grace permitted by the
Indenture.
The "Special Record Date" as used herein shall be fixed in the
following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of
the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each bond of
the Series due March 1, 2012, and the date of the proposed payment,
and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an
amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in
respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the
proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for
the benefit of the persons entitled to such defaulted interest as
provided in this Section 2.01. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a
Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest which
shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of
the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by
the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall
promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the
name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the
proposed payment of such defaulted interest and the Special Record
Date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each
holder of the bonds of the Series due March 1, 2012, at his address as
it appears in the bond register, not less than 10 days prior to such
Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name
and at the expense of the Company, cause a similar notice to be
published at least once in an English language newspaper of general
circulation in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Chicago, Illinois, or New York,
New York, but such publication shall not be a condition precedent to
the establishment of the Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed
payment of such defaulted interest and the Special Record Date
therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such defaulted interest
shall be paid to the persons in whose names the bonds of the Series
due March 1, 2012, are registered on such Special Record Date and
shall not be payable pursuant to the paragraph immediately following
in this Section 2.01.
The Company may make payment of any defaulted interest in any
other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which the bonds of the Series due March 1,
2012, may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such
exchange, if after notice is given by the Company to the Trustee of
the proposed payment pursuant to this Section 2.01, such payment shall
be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
