ALLIANT ENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. The interim consolidated financial statements included herein
have been prepared by Alliant Energy, without audit, pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted,
although management believes that the disclosures are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading. The
consolidated financial statements include Alliant Energy and
its consolidated subsidiaries (including IESU, WP&L, IPC,
Resources and Corporate Services). These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto included in Alliant Energy's, IESU's and
WP&L's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are
normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair
presentation of (a) the consolidated results of operations for
the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, (b) the
consolidated financial position at March 31, 2001 and December
31, 2000, and (c) the consolidated statement of cash flows for
the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, have been
made. Because of the seasonal nature of IESU's, WP&L's and
IPC's operations, results for the three months ended March 31,
2001 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. Certain prior
period amounts have been reclassified on a basis consistent
with the 2001 presentation.
2. Alliant Energy's comprehensive income (loss), and the
components of other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes,
for the three months ended March 31 were as follows (in
thousands):
2001 2000
------------- ------------
Net income $33,385 $19,320
Other comprehensive income (loss):
Unrealized gains (losses) on securities:
Unrealized holding gains (losses) arising during period, net of tax (1) (127,620) 284,458
Less: reclassification adjustment for gains included in net
income, net of tax (2) -- 6,328
------------- ------------
Net unrealized gains (losses) on securities (127,620) 278,130
------------- ------------
Foreign currency translation adjustments (49,743) 917
------------- ------------
Unrealized gains on derivatives qualified as hedges:
Unrealized holding gains arising during period, net of tax 270 --
Less: reclassification adjustment for losses included in net income,
net of tax (3,797) --
------------- ------------
Net unrealized gains on qualifying derivatives 4,067 --
------------- ------------
Other comprehensive income (loss) (173,296) 279,047
------------- ------------
Comprehensive income (loss) ($139,911) $298,367
============= ============
(1) Primarily due to quarterly adjustments to the estimated fair value of
Alliant Energy's investment in McLeod.
(2) The first quarter 2000 earnings included a pre-tax gain of $10.2 million
($0.08 per basic and diluted share) from the sale of 450,000 shares of
McLeod stock held by Alliant Energy. Alliant Energy still held beneficial
ownership in approximately 56 million shares of McLeod stock as of March
31, 2001.
8
3. Various differences exist between segment reporting information for the
non-regulated businesses and Resources' information in Alliant Energy's
condensed consolidating financial statements in Note 9 due to Alliant
Energy's investment in Cargill-Alliant being recorded on Alliant Energy's
parent's books for legal reporting, but included with the non-regulated
businesses information for segment reporting (Alliant Energy considers this
business as part of its non-regulated business for management reporting).
The "Net income (loss)" line item was impacted.
The "Net income (loss)" line item is not allocated to the
electric and gas segments for management reporting purposes
and therefore is included in "Other." Intersegment revenues
were not material to Alliant Energy's operations. Certain
financial information relating to Alliant Energy's significant
business segments is presented below:

Net income (loss) 39,067 39,067 (16,112) (3,635) 19,320
Resources' (i.e., the non-regulated businesses) assets
decreased $287 million during the first three months of 2001,
primarily due to the decrease in market value of its
investment in McLeod. Non-regulated earnings for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 included a $24.8 million after-tax
non-cash charge to net income to recognize an increase in
Alliant Energy's obligation relating to its 30-year
exchangeable senior notes issued in February 2000 (the charge
was subsequently reversed in its entirety in the second
quarter of 2000).
4. The provisions for income taxes are based on the estimated
annual effective tax rate, which differs from the federal
statutory rate of 35 percent principally due to: state income
taxes, tax credits, effects of utility rate making and certain
non-deductible expenses.
5. In January 2001, Resources acquired a stake in a Brazilian
electric utility. As of March 31, 2001, the total investment
in this Brazilian electric utility was approximately $100
million, of which approximately $60 million was paid in
January 2001 and the remainder is expected to be paid by the
end of the first quarter of 2002.
WP&L, including South Beloit, transferred its transmission
assets with no gain or loss (approximate net book value of
$177 million) to ATC on January 1, 2001. WP&L currently
expects to receive cash of $69 million in 2001 and at March
31, 2001, had a $102 million equity investment in ATC, with an
ownership percentage of approximately 26 percent. WP&L
accounts for its investment in ATC under the equity method.
9
6. Alliant Energy continues to utilize derivative instruments to
manage its exposures to various market risks as described in
Alliant Energy's, IESU's and WP&L's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2000. The following
information supplements, and should be read in conjunction
with, Note 10(a) in Alliant Energy's "Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements" in the 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
For the three months ended March 31, 2001, there was no
material earnings impact representing the amount of hedge
ineffectiveness in accordance with SFAS 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Alliant
Energy did not exclude any components of the derivative
instruments' gain or loss from the assessment of hedge
effectiveness and there were no reclasses into earnings as a
result of the discontinuance of hedges. As of March 31, 2001,
the maximum length of time over which Alliant Energy is
hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows
for forecasted transactions is 18 months and Alliant Energy
estimates that gains of $0.4 million will be reclassified from
accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings within
the twelve months between April 1, 2001 and March 31, 2002 as
the hedged transactions affect earnings.
Included in "Miscellaneous, net" in Alliant Energy's
Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 was expense of $85.1 million related to the
change in value of the McLeod trading securities, partially
offset by income of $80.9 million related to the change in
value of the derivative component of the exchangeable senior
notes.
7. In March 2001, IESU issued $200 million of senior unsecured
debentures at a fixed interest rate of 6-3/4%, due 2011. A
portion of the net proceeds were used to repay short-term
debt and a portion will be used to refinance $81.6 million of
long-term debt maturing in 2001.
8. A reconciliation of the weighted average common shares
outstanding used in the basic and diluted earnings per share
calculation for the three months ended March 31 was as
follows:
2001 2000
---------------- ----------------
Weighted average common shares outstanding:
Basic earnings per share calculation 79,027,898 78,996,158
Effect of dilutive securities 170,384 275,217

UTILITY INDUSTRY OUTLOOK
A summary of the current regulatory environment is included in
the Form 10-K filed by Alliant Energy, IESU and WP&L for the year
ended December 31, 2000. Set forth below are several
developments relating to such regulatory environment that have
occurred since the start of the current year.
Rates and Regulatory Matters - In January 2001, the IUB issued an
- ----------------------------
order requiring IESU and IPC to file a joint fuel procurement
plan in May 2001 for the purpose of evaluating the reasonableness
of the Iowa utilities' fuel procurement contracts. This filing
will be made by May 15, 2001. While IESU and IPC cannot predict
the outcome of this process, it will result in formal hearings.
These hearings may address fuel procurement practices and changes
in the fuel cost recovery mechanism.
In April 2001, the OCA requested certain financial information
from IESU related to the electric utility operations within the
state of Iowa. IESU is in the process of preparing its
responses. While IESU cannot predict the outcome of this
process, such data requests could lead to an effort by the OCA to
seek an electric rate reduction for IESU in Iowa.
In December 2000, WP&L requested a $73 million (revised to $61
million) annual retail electric rate increase from the PSCW to
cover increases in WP&L's 2001 fuel and purchased-power costs due
to the continued increases in natural gas prices which impact
WP&L's generation costs and the increased costs of
purchased-power. The PSCW approved a $46 million interim retail
electric rate increase effective February 9, 2001. A decision on
a permanent rate increase is expected in the second quarter of
2001.
In 2000, the NRC raised several areas of concern with Kewaunee's
operations. The concerns raised by the NRC are estimated to
29
result in additional operating costs to WP&L in 2001 of
approximately $5 million. Additional operating costs to WP&L
over the period of 2002 through 2005 are estimated to be
approximately $20 million and will be included in a future rate
request. In April 2001, the PSCW approved the deferral of
incremental costs associated with this issue incurred after March
27, 2001. The expenditures that were not deferred did not have a
material impact on earnings. The NRC has acknowledged the safety
record of Kewaunee and its ability to continue operations.
Alliant Energy complies with the provisions of SFAS 71,
"Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation." SFAS
71 provides that rate-regulated public utilities record certain
costs and credits allowed in the rate making process in different
periods than for non-regulated entities. These are deferred as
regulatory assets or accrued as regulatory liabilities and are
recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income at the time
they are reflected in rates. If a portion of the utility's
operations no longer complies with SFAS 71, a write-down of
related regulatory assets and possibly other charges would be
required, unless some form of transition cost recovery is
established by the appropriate regulatory body that meets the
requirements under generally accepted accounting principles for
continued accounting as regulatory assets during such recovery
period. In addition, each utility would be required to determine
any impairment of other assets and write-down any impaired assets
to their fair value. Alliant Energy believes its utility
subsidiaries currently meet the requirements of SFAS 71.
ALLIANT ENERGY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Unless otherwise noted, all "per share" references in the Results
of Operations section refer to earnings per diluted share.
Overview - First Quarter Results - Alliant Energy reported net
- ---------------------------------
income of $33.4 million, or $0.42 per share, for the first
quarter of 2001, compared to net income of $19.3 million, or
$0.24 per share, for the first quarter of 2000. The prior period
earnings included a non-cash accounting charge of $24.8 million,
or $0.31 per share, to recognize an increase in Alliant Energy's
obligation relating to certain 30-year exchangeable senior notes
(the charge was subsequently reversed in its entirety in the
second quarter of 2000).
The earnings comparison between 2001 and 2000 earnings, excluding
the $24.8 million non-cash accounting charge, was significantly
impacted by the timing of Alliant Energy's continued limited
sales of its investment in McLeod. First quarter 2000 results
included a gain of $0.08 per share from the sale of McLeod stock
while Alliant Energy did not sell any shares of McLeod in the
first quarter of 2001. Also, first quarter 2000 results included
income of $0.03 per share from a tax settlement item. Further, a
non-cash accounting charge of $0.03 per share was recorded in the
first quarter of 2001. Improved results from Alliant Energy's oil
and gas business ($0.17 per share in 2001 and $0.05 per share in
2000) were substantially offset by higher utility operating expenses
and lower results from Alliant Energy's investments in Brazil.
First quarter 2001 utility earnings were $33.3 million ($0.42 per
share) compared to $39.1 million ($0.49 per share) for the same
period in 2000. The decrease was primarily due to higher natural
gas and fuel prices, increased other utility operating expenses
and $0.03 per share of income in 2000 from a tax settlement,
partially offset by higher sales volumes from more favorable
weather in 2001.
Resources reported net income of $1.2 million ($0.01 per share)
in the first quarter of 2001 compared to a net loss of $16.1
million (($0.20) per share) in the first quarter of 2000, which
included the $24.8 million ($0.31 per share) non-cash charge
related to the senior notes. The lower earnings, excluding the
2000 non-cash charge, were largely due to: 1) no sales of McLeod
stock in the first quarter of 2001 while the first quarter of
2000 included a gain of $0.08 per share; and 2) the first quarter of
2001 included a non-cash accounting charge of $0.03 per share
related to the net valuation of the exchangeable senior notes and
the associated McLeod shares designated as trading securities.
Alliant Energy's oil and gas business had another strong quarter,
increasing $0.12 per share over first quarter 2000 results.
However, this increase was virtually offset by lower results from
Alliant Energy's Brazil investments ($0.06 per share), lower
results from Alliant Energy's integrated services business ($0.02
per share) and increased interest expense to fund Alliant
Energy's strategic growth initiatives and costs related to the
pursuit of new business opportunities.

Purchased power expense 98,733 62,345 58%
--------------- -------------
Margin $244,936 $245,732 --
=============== =============
Electric margin decreased $0.8 million for the first quarter of
2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to
higher fuel and purchased-power expenses, decreased energy
conservation revenues and lower sales to industrial customers,
largely offset by higher sales volume from more favorable weather
in 2001. Favorable weather conditions yielded an estimated $11
million electric margin increase compared to the first quarter
2000, when milder than normal weather conditions prevailed.
Refer to "Utility Industry Outlook - Rates and Regulatory
Matters" for discussion of a WP&L FAC filing in December 2000.
In the first quarter of 2001, electric margin was approximately
$7 million lower due to the formation of ATC. Such expenses
were virtually offset by equity income, reduced other operation
and maintenance expenses and lower depreciation expense. Refer
to Note 5 of Alliant Energy's "Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements" in Item 1. for additional information related to ATC.
IESU's and IPC's electric tariffs include EAC's that are designed
to currently recover the costs of fuel and the energy portion of
purchased-power billings. Refer to "Utility Industry Outlook -
Rates and Regulatory Matters" for discussion of an IUB fuel
investigation.
Gas Utility Operations - Gas margins and Dth sales for Alliant

============= ============
Cost of utility gas sold 238,258 82,113 190%
--------------- -------------
Margin $51,560 $48,021 7%
=============== =============
31
Gas revenues and cost of utility gas sold increased significantly
primarily due to the large increase in natural gas prices during
the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in
2000. Gas margin increased $3.5 million, or 7%, primarily due to
higher sales volumes from more favorable weather in 2001, which
contributed an estimated $9 million increase in gas margin. The
weather benefit was partially offset by impacts of the higher
natural gas costs as some customers either chose alternative fuel
sources or used less natural gas. WP&L's margins were also
negatively impacted by the higher gas costs from losses
associated with current commodity costs, which are shared by
ratepayers and shareowners.
IESU's and IPC's gas tariffs include PGA clauses that are
designed to currently recover the cost of utility gas sold.
Non-regulated and Other Revenues - Non-regulated and other
- ---------------------------------
revenues for the three months ended March 31 were as follows (in
thousands):
2001 2000
-------- ---------
Integrated Services $84,199 $33,433
Oil and gas production 42,776 19,195
Steam 11,186 7,340
Transportation 4,639 4,788
Other 8,152 5,550
--------- ----------
$150,952 $70,306
========= ==========
Non-regulated and other revenues increased $80.6 million for the
first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000,
primarily due to increased revenues in Integrated Services
related to acquisitions in the third and fourth quarters of 2000
of various energy services and energy conservation businesses and
increased revenues due to higher natural gas prices. Also
contributing to the increase were higher oil and gas production
revenues due to higher gas prices and increased volumes due to
various acquisitions in 2000.
Other Operating Expenses - Other operation and maintenance
- ------------------------
expenses for the three months ended March 31 were as follows (in
thousands):
2001 2000
-------- ---------
Utility subsidiaries $130,089 $122,761
Integrated Services 80,186 29,517
Oil and gas production 11,729 7,349
Transportation 2,991 2,897
Other 13,201 7,154
--------- ----------
$238,196 $169,678
========= ==========
Other operation and maintenance expenses at the utility
subsidiaries increased $7.3 million in the first quarter of 2001,
compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to higher
administrative and general and nuclear expenses, partially offset
by reduced generation business unit expenses. Other operation
and maintenance expenses in Integrated Services increased $50.7
million in the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same
period in 2000, primarily due to expenses associated with the
acquisitions of the various energy services and energy
conservation businesses and the increased natural gas costs. The
oil and gas production increase was primarily due to the 2000
acquisitions. The increase in "other" was primarily due to
expenses from the International business unit and costs related to
the pursuit of new business opportunities.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $8.7 million in
the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000,
primarily due to the acquisitions at the non-regulated businesses
and utility property additions.
32
Interest Expense and Other - Interest expense increased $9.1
- --------------------------
million in the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same
period in 2000, primarily due to higher non-regulated and utility
borrowings to fund Alliant Energy's strategic growth initiatives,
including Resources' investments in several Brazilian electric
utilities in January 2000 and January 2001 of approximately $347
million and $60 million, respectively.
Alliant Energy recorded $39.5 million, or $0.31 per share, of
contingent interest on indexed senior notes in the first quarter
of 2000 to recognize an increase in Alliant Energy's obligation
relating to certain 30-year exchangeable senior notes (the charge
was subsequently reversed in its entirety in the second quarter
of 2000).
Equity income (loss) from Alliant Energy's unconsolidated
investments for the three months ended March 31 was as follows
(in millions):
2001 2000
------ -------
ATC $4.8 $--
Cargill-Alliant 3.0 0.1
Australia/New Zealand investments 2.2 --
China investments 1.4 0.3
Brazil investments (1.5) 1.2
Other 0.4 (0.5)
------ -------
$10.3 $1.1
====== =======
Equity income from unconsolidated investments increased $9.2
million in the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same
period in 2000, due to ATC beginning operations on January 1,
2001; improved operations from Alliant Energy's energy-trading
joint venture with Cargill-Alliant due to more buyers turning to
energy experts to help them find stable, reliable sources of
supply in the wake of volatile energy costs; and a first quarter
2000 acquisition at Alliant Energy's Australian investment.
These items were partially offset by lower results from Alliant
Energy's Brazil investments primarily due to continued regulatory
delays in the implementation of tariff adjustments and
higher-than-expected commercial losses at one of its operating
companies. Alliant Energy expects to have the prospective tariff
adjustments in Brazil implemented in the second quarter of 2001.
Refer to "Outlook" for additional information regarding Brazil.
Alliant Energy sold 450,000 shares of its investment in McLeod in
the first quarter of 2000, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $10.2
million, or $0.08 per share.
Miscellaneous, net income decreased $10.9 million for the first
quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily
due to a charge of $85.1 million related to the change in value of
the McLeod trading securities, $4.1 million of interest income
recognized at IESU in the first quarter of 2000 from a tax settlement
and income realized from weather hedges at WP&L in the first quarter
of 2000, partially offset by income of $80.9 million related to the
change in value of the derivative component of Resources'
exchangeable senior notes.
Income Taxes - The effective income tax rates for the first
- ------------
quarter of 2001 and 2000 were 34.2% and 37.2%, respectively.
IESU RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview - First Quarter Results - IESU's earnings available for
- --------------------------------
common stock decreased $3.4 million for the first quarter of
2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to
increased other operation and maintenance expenses and lower
interest income due to a tax settlement realized in the first
quarter of 2000, partially offset by increased gas margin.

=============== =============
Electric margin decreased $0.9 million, or 1%, for the first
quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily
due to lower sales to industrial customers and increased
purchased-power capacity costs. Such decreases were partially
offset by more favorable weather conditions in the first quarter
of 2001 compared to the first quarter of 2000, when milder than
normal weather conditions prevailed.
IESU's electric tariffs include EAC's that are designed to

--------------- -------------
Margin $23,693 $21,355 11%
=============== =============
Gas revenues and cost of gas sold increased significantly
primarily due to the large increase in natural gas prices during
the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in
2000. Such increase had no impact on IESU's gas margin given its
rate recovery mechanism for gas costs. Gas margin increased $2.3
million, or 11%, primarily due to increased natural gas sales due
to more favorable weather conditions in the first quarter of 2001
compared with the first quarter of 2000. This increase was
partially offset by impacts of the higher natural gas costs as
some customers either chose alternative fuel sources or used less
natural gas.
IESU's gas tariffs include PGA clauses that are designed to
currently recover the cost of gas sold.
Other Operating Expenses - IESU's other operation and maintenance
- -------------------------
expenses increased $5.9 million in the first quarter of 2001,
compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to increased
administrative and general and generation business unit
expenses.
34
Interest Expense and Other - Miscellaneous, net income decreased
- --------------------------
$2.7 million in the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same
period in 2000, primarily due to interest income recognized from
a tax settlement in the first quarter of 2000.
Income Taxes - The effective income tax rates were 38.8% and
- ------------
41.9% in the first quarter of 2001 and 2000, respectively.
WP&L RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview - First Quarter Results - WP&L's earnings available for
- --------------------------------
common stock decreased $2.6 million for the first quarter of
2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to the
impact of higher gas and fuel prices, partially offset by
favorable weather conditions in the first quarter of 2001
compared to the first quarter 2000 when milder weather conditions
prevailed.

=============== =============
Electric margin decreased $1.9 million, or 2%, for the first
quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily
due to higher fuel and purchased-power expenses, decreased energy
conservation revenues and lower sales to industrial customers.
Such decreases were partially offset by more favorable weather
conditions in the first quarter of 2001 compared to the first
quarter of 2000, when milder than normal weather conditions

--------------- -------------
Margin $19,380 $19,957 (3%)
=============== =============
Gas revenues and cost of gas sold increased significantly
primarily due to the large increase in natural gas prices during
the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in
2000. Gas margin decreased $0.6 million, or 3%, primarily due to
impacts of the higher natural gas costs as some customers either
chose alternative fuel sources or used less natural gas. WP&L's
margins were also negatively impacted by the higher gas costs
from losses associated with current commodity costs, which are
shared by ratepayers and shareowners. Such decreases were
partially offset by increased natural gas sales due to more
favorable weather conditions in the first quarter of 2001
compared to the first quarter of 2000.
Other Operating Expenses - Other operation and maintenance
- ------------------------
expenses decreased $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2001,
compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to lower
generation and energy delivery business unit expenses, largely
offset by higher administrative and general expenses.
Interest Expense and Other - Equity income from unconsolidated
- --------------------------
investments increased $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2001,
compared with the same period in 2000, due to ATC beginning
operations on January 1, 2001. Refer to Note 5 of Alliant
Energy's "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Item 1.
for discussion of WP&L's investment in ATC.
Miscellaneous, net income decreased $4.5 million for the first
quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily
due to lower income realized from weather hedges.
Income Taxes - The effective income tax rates were 38.4% and
- -------------
37.0% in the first quarter of 2001 and 2000, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flows - For the first quarter of 2001 compared with the same
- ----------
period in 2000, Alliant Energy's cash flows from operating
activities decreased $26 million primarily due to changes in
working capital. Cash flows from financing activities decreased
$271 million primarily due to net changes in the amount of debt
outstanding. Cash flows used for investing activities decreased
$330 million primarily due to the January 2000 Brazil
investment.
For the first quarter of 2001 compared with the same period in
2000, IESU's cash flows from operating activities decreased $21
million primarily due to changes in working capital. Cash flows
from financing activities increased $130 million primarily due to
$200 million of senior debentures issued in 2001, partially
offset by other net changes in debt outstanding. For the first
quarter of 2001 compared with the same period in 2000, WP&L's
cash flows from operating activities decreased $36 million
primarily due to changes in working capital.
Long-Term Debt - Refer to Note 7 of Alliant Energy's "Notes to
- ---------------
Consolidated Financial Statements" in Item 1. for discussion of
long-term debt issued by IESU in March 2001.
Sale of Accounts Receivable - To maintain flexibility in its
- ---------------------------
36
capital structure and to take advantage of favorable short-term
rates, IESU and WP&L use proceeds from the sale of accounts
receivable and unbilled revenues to finance a portion of their
long-term cash needs. Alliant Energy and the utility
subsidiaries received all necessary approvals in late March 2001
for a combined accounts receivable sale program whereby each
utility, including IPC, will sell its respective receivables
through wholly-owned special purpose entities to an affiliated
financing entity, which in turn will sell the receivables to an
outside investor. The new program, expected to be operational in
the second quarter of 2001, would replace the existing programs
for IESU and WP&L, and would be substantially similar to the
prior programs.
Construction and Acquisition Expenditures - To help ensure
- -----------------------------------------
electric reliability for its customers, Alliant Energy has
announced a program called PowerPledge, which is designed to
increase Alliant Energy's power supply, upgrade existing systems
and use more renewable energy sources. Through this program,
Alliant Energy's utility subsidiaries plan to invest $2 billion
over the next five years (beginning in 2001) in utility
infrastructure designed to improve reliability.
Alliant Energy's subsidiaries also announced their interest in
developing new electric power generation capacity in Iowa and
Wisconsin over the next 10 years estimated at $2.5 billion.
In Iowa, IESU announced a willingness to develop up to 1,200 MW
of new electric power generation over the next 10 years. In
Wisconsin, WP&L filed plans with the PSCW to develop up to 800
MW of new electric power generation over the next 10 years.
The Wisconsin plans include the addition of 500 MW of coal-fired
and 100 MW of natural gas-fired generation by 2006 and an additional
200 MW of combined-cycle gas generation by 2011. Both the Iowa and
Wisconsin proposals are subject to various conditions, including
the receipt of applicable regulatory approval and the receipt of a
reasonable return on IESU's and WP&L's investments.
OTHER MATTERS
Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Positions
Alliant Energy's primary market risk exposures are associated
with interest rates, commodity prices, equity prices and currency
exchange rates. Alliant Energy has risk management policies to
monitor and assist in controlling these market risks and uses
derivative instruments to manage some of the exposures. Alliant
Energy's market risks have not changed materially from the market
risks reported in the 2000 Form 10-K, except as noted below.
Equity Price Risk - At March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000,
- ------------------
Alliant Energy had an investment in the stock of McLeod, a
publicly traded telecommunications company, valued at $486
million and $791 million, respectively. In addition to the
equity risk associated with the investment in McLeod, Alliant
Energy also has equity risk related to the option liability
embedded within Resources' exchangeable senior notes. A 10
percent increase (decrease) in the quoted market price at March
31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 would not have a significant
impact on net income as any resulting increase (decrease) in the
value of the option would be substantially offset by a
corresponding increase (decrease) in the value of the McLeod
shares classified as trading (valued at $136 million and $221
million at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively).
At March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the McLeod
available-for-sale securities were valued at $350 million and
$570 million, respectively. A 10 percent increase (decrease) in
the quoted market price at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000
would have increased (decreased) the value of the investment of
the available-for-sale securities by $35 million and $57 million,
respectively.
Currency Risk - Alliant Energy has investments in various
- -------------
countries where the net investments are not hedged, including
Australia, Brazil, China and New Zealand. As a result, these
investments are subject to currency exchange risk with
fluctuations in currency exchange rates. At March 31, 2001 and
December 31, 2000, Alliant Energy had a cumulative foreign
currency translation loss of $109.7 million and $60.0 million,
respectively, recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive
income" on its Consolidated Balance Sheets that primarily related
to decreases in value of the Brazil currency (real), New Zealand
dollar and Australian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar.
Based on Alliant Energy's investments at March 31, 2001 and
December 31, 2000, a 10 percent sustained increase (decrease)
over the next 12 months in the foreign exchange rates of
Australia, Brazil, China and New Zealand would increase
(decrease) the cumulative foreign currency translation gain/loss
by $47.8 million and $46.5 million, respectively.

OUTLOOK
Alliant Energy currently estimates that earnings per share from
continuing operations for 2001 will be in the $2.40 to $2.60
range. Drivers for Alliant Energy's 2001 earnings estimate
include, but are not limited to: normal weather conditions in its
utility service territories; continued economic development and
sales growth in its utility service territories; ability to
recover its purchased power and fuel costs, both domestically and
internationally; ability to realize gains on the continued
limited sales of its McLeod investment to help offset start-up
and growth-related interest expenses in its diversified
businesses and to redeploy such proceeds into more strategic
earnings-generating investments; improved profitability of its
international investments; improved profitability of its non-
regulated businesses as a whole, including oil and gas, electricity
trading, integrated energy and transportation services; continued
strong oil and gas prices; and other stable business conditions.
In addition, the accuracy of the earnings estimate is further subject
to future developments relating to Alliant Energy's utility
investments in Brazil.
Brazil is continuing to experience drought conditions and the
Brazilian government has announced an electricity rationing program
effective June 1st in response to the country's power shortage
(Brazil relies on hydroelectric plants for the majority of its
electricity). The program details are not yet final thus Alliant
Energy is currently unable to estimate the impact on its 2001
earnings; however, Alliant Energy expects the impact will be
dilutive. Based on the drought and other business conditions in
Brazil, Alliant Energy also cannot currently predict what impact its
Brazil investments may have on its earnings beyond 2001. Alliant
Energy's other non-regulated businesses, especially oil and gas and
electricity trading, continue to generate strong earnings which may
offset some or all of the impact of the Brazil dilution.
Alliant Energy's strategic plan includes aggressively investing
in generation and other energy-related projects; better
connecting with customers through enhanced service reliability
and e-business initiatives; and growing the non-regulated side of
its business through partnerships and acquisitions in generation
projects, international markets and other strategic initiatives.
Alliant Energy believes that successful implementation of these
strategies will contribute significantly to Alliant Energy
achieving its targeted annual growth rate in earnings from
continued operations of 7 to 10 percent. Alliant Energy expects
its non-regulated businesses to contribute 25 percent of such
earnings within the next two to four years.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk are
reported under Item 2. MD&A "Other Matters - Market Risk
Sensitive Instruments and Positions."
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In an effort to grow and expand as a Wisconsin-based company,
Alliant Energy and WP&L filed a federal lawsuit in October 2000,
seeking declaratory relief regarding whether certain provisions
of WUHCA are unconstitutional as a violation of the interstate
commerce and equal protection provisions of the U.S.
constitution. Alliant Energy and WP&L are challenging the
provisions of WUHCA which restrict ownership in utility holding
companies, limit the investments those companies can make and
place significant restrictions on companies that invest in
Wisconsin utility holding companies. Alliant Energy and WP&L
also requested that the court consider the constitutionality of
issues related to the asset cap on non-utility investments
imposed by WUHCA. Alliant Energy and WP&L were seeking only
declaratory relief and not damages in the litigation. In
February 2001, the lawsuit was dismissed based on lack of
allegations of "injury in fact." Alliant Energy and WP&L filed a
motion for reconsideration with the court, which was rejected in
April 2001. Alliant Energy has begun preparations to appeal the
case, which could come before the Federal Court of Appeals in
Chicago.
