                    ALLIANT ENERGY CORPORATION
      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 1. The interim consolidated financial statements included herein
    have been prepared by Alliant Energy, without audit, pursuant
    to the rules and regulations of the SEC.  Accordingly, certain
    information and footnote disclosures normally included in
    financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted,
    although management believes that the disclosures are adequate
    to make the information presented not misleading.  The
    consolidated financial statements include Alliant Energy and
    its consolidated subsidiaries (including IESU, WP&L, IPC,
    Resources and Corporate Services).  These financial statements
    should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
    and the notes thereto included in Alliant Energy's, IESU's and
    WP&L's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are
    normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair
    presentation of (a) the consolidated results of operations for
    the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, (b) the
    consolidated financial position at June 30, 2001 and December
    31, 2000, and (c) the consolidated statement of cash flows for
    the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, have been made.
    Because of the seasonal nature of Alliant Energy's utility
    operations, results for the three and six months ended June
    30, 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,
    were as follows (in thousands):


                                                                      For the Three Months                  For the Six Months

(1) Primarily due to quarterly adjustments to the estimated fair
    value of Alliant Energy's investments in available-for-sale
    securities of McLeod and Capstone.

(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 owned approximately 56 million
    shares of McLeod stock as of June 30, 2001.

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 8 due to Alliant Energy's
    investment in Cargill-Alliant being recorded on Alliant
    Energy's parent-only books for legal reporting, but included with
    the non-regulated businesses information for segment reporting
    (Alliant Energy considers this business as part of its
    non-regulated 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:

    Resources' (i.e., the non-regulated businesses) assets
    decreased $506 million during the first six months of 2001,
    primarily due to the decrease in market value of its
    investment in McLeod.  Non-regulated income for the three
    and six months ended June 30, 2001 included after-tax charges
    to net income of $4.6 million and $7.4 million, respectively,
    for non-cash valuation adjustments related to Alliant Energy's
    obligation under certain 30-year exchangeable senior notes.
    Non-regulated income for the three months ended June 30,
    2000 included a reversal of the $24.8 million after-tax
    non-cash charge to net income recorded in the first quarter of
    2000 relating to the valuation of the 30-year exchangeable
    senior notes.

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.
                                       9

5.  In January 2001, Resources acquired a stake in another Brazilian
    electric utility.  As of June 30, 2001, the total investment
    in this Brazilian electric utility was approximately $98
    million, of which approximately $60 million was paid in
    January 2001 and the remainder is expected to be paid by the
    end of the first quarter of 2002.  This investment is accounted
    for under the equity method of accounting.

    WP&L, including South Beloit, transferred its transmission
    assets with no gain or loss (approximate net book value of
    $177 million) to ATC on January 1, 2001.  In the second
    quarter of 2001, WP&L received cash of $75 million and at June
    30, 2001, had a $109 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.

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 six months ended June 30, 2001, income of $4.1 million
    was recognized relating to the amount of hedge ineffectiveness
    in accordance with SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative
    Instruments and Hedging Activities."  As of June 30, 2001, the
    maximum length of time over which Alliant Energy is hedging
    its  exposure to the variability in future cash flows for
    forecasted transactions is 9 months and Alliant Energy
    estimates that gains of $0.9 million will be reclassified from
    accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings within
    the twelve months between July 1, 2001 and June 30, 2002 as
    the hedged transactions affect earnings.

    Included in "Miscellaneous, net" in Alliant Energy's
    Consolidated Statements of Income for the six months ended
    June 30, 2001 was expense of $149.2 million related to the
    change in value of the McLeod trading securities, partially
    offset by income of $138.1 million related to the change in
    value of the derivative component of the exchangeable senior
    notes.

7.  In March 2001, IESU issued $200 million of senior unsecured
    debentures at a fixed interest rate of 6-3/4%, due 2011.  IESU
    used a portion of the net proceeds to repay short-term
    debt and long-term debt, and a portion will be used to retire $21
    million of long-term debt maturing in the third quarter of
    2001.

8.  Alliant Energy has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the
    payment of principal and interest on various debt issued by
    Resources and, as a result, is required to present condensed
    consolidating financial statements.  No other Alliant Energy
    subsidiaries are guarantors of Resources' debt issuances.
    Alliant Energy's condensed consolidating financial statements
    are as follows:

                        IES UTILITIES INC.
      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

    Except as modified below, the Alliant Energy Notes to
    Consolidated Financial Statements are incorporated by
    reference insofar as they relate to IESU.

 1. The interim consolidated financial statements included herein
    have been prepared by IESU, 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.  IESU is a
    subsidiary of Alliant Energy.  These financial statements
    should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
    and the notes thereto included in IESU's latest Annual Report
    on Form 10-K.

    In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are
    normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair
    presentation of (a) the consolidated results of operations for
    the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, (b) the
    consolidated financial position at June 30, 2001 and December
    31, 2000, and (c) the consolidated statement of cash flows for
    the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, have been made.
    Because of the seasonal nature of IESU's operations, results
    for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 are not
    necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the
    year ending December 31, 2001.

2.  IESU's comprehensive income, and the components of other
    comprehensive income, net of taxes, were as follows (in
    thousands):

                                       25


                 WISCONSIN POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY
      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

    Except as modified below, the Alliant Energy Notes to
    Consolidated Financial Statements are incorporated by
    reference insofar as they relate to WP&L.

 1. The interim consolidated financial statements included herein
    have been prepared by WP&L, 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 WP&L and its
    consolidated subsidiaries, including WPL Transco LLC and South
    Beloit.  WP&L is a subsidiary of Alliant Energy.  These
    financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
    financial statements and the notes thereto included in WP&L's
    latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are
    normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair
    presentation of (a) the consolidated results of operations for
    the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, (b) the
    consolidated financial position at June 30, 2001 and December
    31, 2000, and (c) the consolidated statement of cash flows for
    the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, have been made.
    Because of the seasonal nature of WP&L's operations, results
    for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 are not
    necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the
    year ending December 31, 2001.

2.  WP&L's comprehensive income, and the components of other
    comprehensive income, net of taxes, were as follows (in
    thousands):

                                                                        Ended June 30,                   Ended June 30,

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The primary first tier subsidiaries of Alliant Energy include:
WP&L, IESU, IPC, Resources and Corporate
Services.  Among various other regulatory constraints, Alliant
Energy is operating as a registered public utility holding
company subject to the limitations imposed by PUHCA.  This MD&A
includes information relating to Alliant Energy, IESU and WP&L
(as well as IPC, Resources and Corporate Services).  Where
appropriate, information relating to a specific entity has been
segregated and labeled as such.  The following discussion and
analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this report as well as the financial
statements, notes and MD&A included in Alliant Energy's, IESU's
and WP&L's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

                    FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this report (including MD&A) that are not
of historical fact are forward-looking statements intended to
qualify for the safe harbors from liability established by the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such
forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in, or implied by, such statements.  Some, but not all,
of the risks and uncertainties include: factors listed in the
"Outlook" section; weather effects on sales and revenues; general
economic conditions in the utility subsidiaries' service
territories; federal, state and international regulatory or
government actions, including issues associated with the
deregulation of the domestic utility industry and the setting of
rates and recovery of costs; unanticipated construction and
acquisition expenditures; issues related to stranded costs and
the recovery thereof; unanticipated issues related to the supply
of purchased electricity and price thereof; unexpected issues
related to the operations of Alliant Energy's nuclear facilities;
unanticipated costs associated with certain environmental
remediation efforts being undertaken by Alliant Energy; Alliant
Energy's ability to successfully implement its growth strategy,
including the acquisition and operation of foreign companies;
unanticipated developments that adversely impact Alliant Energy's
strategy to grow its non-regulated businesses; material changes
in the value of Alliant Energy's investments in McLeod and
Capstone; technological developments; employee workforce factors,
including changes in key executives, collective bargaining
agreements or work stoppages; political, legal, economic and
exchange rate conditions in foreign countries in which Alliant
Energy has investments; and changes in the rate of inflation.

                     UTILITY INDUSTRY REVIEW

A summary of the current regulatory environment is included in
the Form 10-K filed by Alliant Energy, IESU and WP&L for the year
ended December 31, 2000.  Set forth below are several
developments relating to such regulatory environment that have
occurred since the start of the current year.

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
was completed in May 2001.  While IESU and IPC cannot predict the
outcome of this process, hearings are scheduled for October
2001.

In April 2001, the OCA requested certain financial information
from IESU related to the electric utility operations within the
state of Iowa.  IESU filed its response with the OCA in June
2001.  In July 2001, the OCA requested certain financial information
from IPC related to the electric utility operations within the
state of Iowa.  IPC is in the process of preparing its
responses.  While IESU and IPC cannot predict the outcomes of this process,
such data requests could lead to an effort by the OCA to seek an
electric rate reduction for IESU and/or IPC in Iowa.

In December 2000, WP&L requested a $73 million annual retail
electric rate increase from the PSCW to cover increases in WP&L's
2001 fuel 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 8, 2001, which was replaced with a $58
million final increase effective June 19, 2001.  The final order includes
a refund provision for fuel costs collected in rates that are in
excess of actual fuel costs incurred.  In July 2001, WP&L

                                       28


filed a motion for rehearing, alleging that the PSCW committed
material factual and legal errors in the final order relating to
the recovery of certain costs and the refund mechanism.  In August 2001,
the PSCW denied the request for rehearing.

In 2000, the NRC raised several areas of concern with Kewaunee's operations.
Addressing the concerns raised by the NRC is expected to result in additional
operating costs to WP&L in 2001 of approximately $8 million.  Additional
operating costs to WP&L over the period of 2002 through 2005 are estimated to
be approximately $25 million.  In April 2001, the PSCW approved the deferral
of such incremental costs incurred after March 27, 2001.  In July 2001, WP&L
requested a $19.2 million retail electric rate increase from the PSCW to
recover a portion of the costs associated with the increased Kewaunee operating
costs, and the replacement of the steam generators at Kewaunee (scheduled to be
replaced during an estimated 71-day outage beginning in September 2001).  WP&L
expects that the remainder of the additional operating costs related to
Kewaunee will be recovered through future base rate filings with the PSCW.
The NRC has indicated that, with the actions already taken at Kewaunee, the
only remaining issues relating to that facility are of a low safety
significance.  The expenditures at Kewaunee that were not deferred and which
are not subject to the rate increase request did not have a material impact
on earnings.

The last of Alliant Energy's price freezes related to its 1998 three-way
merger will expire in the second quarter of 2002.  In August 2001, WP&L
filed a request with the PSCW for new base rates, which focus on
investments in reliability, customer service, technology and
environmental upgrades, as well as investments in its
infrastructure.  The filing applies to retail electric ($85.9 million),
natural gas ($26.1 million) and water ($1.1 million) rates.  WP&L expects
that any rate increases will take effect some time after April 14, 2002.
WP&L also plans to file a request later in 2001 for new wholesale electric
base rates.  IESU and IPC are in the process of reviewing whether they will
need to file electric and/or gas base rate cases with the IUB in the
first half of 2002.  At this time, there are no plans for filing
new base rate cases in Illinois or Minnesota.

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 - Second Quarter Results - Alliant Energy reported net
- ---------------------------------
income of $23.3 million, or $0.29 per share, for the second
quarter of 2001, compared to net income of $42.3 million, or
$0.54 per share, for the second quarter of 2000.  Both periods
included non-cash valuation adjustments related to Alliant
Energy's obligation under certain 30-year exchangeable senior
notes - a charge of $0.06 per share was recorded in the second
quarter of 2001 while the second quarter of 2000 included income
of $0.31 per share to reverse charges recorded in the first
quarter of 2000.

The earnings increase of $0.13 per share, excluding the non-cash
valuation adjustments, was largely due to higher earnings from
Alliant Energy's non-regulated operations, led by another
significant increase in earnings from Alliant Energy's oil and
gas business.  Improved results from Alliant Energy's Brazil
investments, the impact of lower interest rates and an increase
in earnings from utility operations also contributed to the
higher earnings.  These items were partially offset by interest
and amortization expenses from several recent acquisitions by
Alliant Energy's integrated services business and increased
corporate expenses at the Alliant Energy parent.

                                       29


Second quarter 2001 utility earnings were $22.1 million ($0.28
per share) compared to $20.0 million ($0.25 per share) for the
same period in 2000.  The increase was primarily due to lower
operating expenses.

The non-regulated businesses reported net income of $3.6 million
($0.04 per share) in the second quarter of 2001, which included
the non-cash valuation charge of $4.6 million ($0.06 per share),
compared to net income of $22.0 million ($0.27 per share) in the
second quarter of 2000, which included the non-cash valuation income
of $24.8 million ($0.31 per share).  Excluding these non-cash
adjustments, Resources' earnings increased $0.14 per share.  Earnings per
share from Whiting increased from $0.04 per share in 2000 to
$0.15 per share in 2001.  Such increase was due to higher gas
prices, increased oil and gas sales volumes and a gain realized
on an asset sale.  Improved results at the International business
unit ($0.02 per share) were largely due to the Brazil
investments, partially offset by a slight decrease in earnings
from the China investments.  Decreased earnings at the Integrated
Services business unit ($0.04 per share) were largely due to
additional goodwill amortization and interest expense from
several acquisitions completed in December 2000.  The
impact of lower interest rates on Resources' variable rate
borrowings also contributed to the increased earnings.

Electric margin decreased $7.9 million, or 3%, and $8.7 million,
or 2%, for the three- and six-month periods, respectively,
primarily due to $10 million of income recorded in the second
quarter of 2000 for a change in estimate of WP&L's utility
services rendered but unbilled at month-end.  This was largely
offset by the impact of electric sales growth, including
increased sales to higher-margin residential and commercial
customers, and lower purchased-power costs in 2001.  Also
contributing to the six-month decrease were reduced energy
conservation revenues.  Favorable weather conditions yielded an
estimated $11 million electric margin increase for the six months
ended June 30, 2001, compared with the same period last year,
when milder than normal weather conditions prevailed.

Due to the formation of ATC on January 1, 2001, electric margin
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 included
expenses of $7 million and $14 million, respectively.  Such
expenses were offset by equity income, lower depreciation expense
and reduced other operation and maintenance expenses, resulting in
no significant net income impact due to the formation of ATC.  Refer
to Note 5 of Alliant Energy's "Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements" in Item 1. for additional information related to ATC.

IESU's and IPC's electric tariffs include EAC's that are designed
to currently recover the costs of fuel and the energy portion of
purchased-power billings.  Under PSCW rules, WP&L can seek emergency
rate increases if the annual fuel and purchased-power costs are more
than 3 percent higher than the estimated costs used to establish rates.
Refer to "Utility Industry Review - Rates and Regulatory Matters" for
discussion of an IUB fuel investigation and a WP&L FAC filing.

                                 =================  ===============



Gas revenues and cost of utility gas sold increased significantly
for the three- and six-month periods due to the large increase in
natural gas prices.  Gas margin decreased $1.4 million, or 6%,
and increased $2.1 million, or 3%, for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2001, respectively, compared with the same periods
in 2000.  Gas margins for both periods were reduced due to

                                       31


impacts of the higher natural gas costs as some customers either
chose alternative fuel sources or used less natural gas.
Contributing to the six-month increase were increased sales
volumes from more favorable weather conditions in 2001 which
contributed an estimated $9 million increase in gas margin,
partially offset by losses associated with current commodity
costs at WP&L, which are shared by ratepayers and shareowners.

IESU's and IPC's gas tariffs include PGA clauses that are
designed to currently recover the cost of utility gas sold.

The increased Integrated Services revenues were due to
acquisitions in the third and fourth quarters of 2000 of various
energy services businesses and higher natural gas prices.
Ongoing acquisitions of additional oil and gas properties had a
significant impact on the increased Whiting sales volumes.  The 2001
International revenues resulted from the December 2000 change from
the equity method of accounting to the consolidation method for an
investment in China.

Other operation and maintenance expenses at the utility
subsidiaries decreased $10.9 million and $3.6 million for the
three- and six-month periods, respectively, primarily due to
costs incurred in 2000 for: 1) a scheduled refueling outage at

                                       32

Kewaunee; and 2) one-time fees associated with the transfer of the
Iowa utility business from the MAPP reliability region to the
MAIN region.  Administrative and general expenses contributed to
the three-month decrease while they partially offset the
six-month decrease.  Higher fossil-plant maintenance expenses
partially offset the three-month decrease.  The Integrated
Services increases were primarily due to expenses associated with
the acquisitions of the various energy services businesses and
the higher natural gas costs.  The increase at Whiting was
primarily due to the increased production volumes.  The
International increases were primarily due to the December 2000 change
from the equity method of accounting to the consolidation method for
an investment in China.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $8.2 million and
$16.9 million for the three- and six-month periods, respectively,
primarily due to the acquisitions at the non-regulated
businesses, utility property additions and increased amortization
expenses.

Taxes other than income taxes increased $2.9 million and $5.0
million for the three- and six-month periods, respectively,
primarily due to increased payroll, gross receipts and property
taxes.

Interest Expense and Other - Interest expense increased $5.8
- --------------------------
million and $14.9 million for the three- and six-month periods,
respectively, primarily due to higher non-regulated and utility
borrowings to fund Alliant Energy's strategic growth initiatives,
including Resources' investment in a Brazilian electric utility in
January 2001 of approximately $60 million.  The impact of lower
interest rates on Alliant Energy's variable rate borrowings
partially offset these increases.

In the second quarter of 2000, Alliant Energy reversed a first
quarter 2000 charge of $39.5 million for contingent interest
relating to Alliant Energy's obligation under certain 30-year
exchangeable senior notes.

Equity income from unconsolidated investments increased $7.2
million and $16.4 million for the three- and six-month periods,
respectively, primarily due to ATC beginning operations on
January 1, 2001 and a first quarter 2000 acquisition in
Australia.  All of Alliant Energy's remaining prospective tariff
adjustments in Brazil were implemented in the second quarter of
2001, resulting in improved results in Brazil for the three-month period.
The six-month increase was also impacted by higher earnings 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.  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 $3.7 million and $14.6
million for the three- and six-month periods, respectively,
primarily due to charges of $64.1 million and $149.2 million for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively,
related to the change in value of the McLeod trading securities,
partially offset by income of $57.2 million and $138.1 million,
respectively, related to the change in value of the derivative
component of Resources' exchangeable senior notes.  Such
decreases were partially offset by a $3 million gain on the sale
of properties at Whiting in the second quarter of 2001.  Also
contributing to the six-month decrease were $4.1 million of
                                       33


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.

Income Taxes - The effective income tax rates were 31.2% and
- ------------
33.0% for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001,
respectively, compared with 37.2% for the same periods last
year.  The decrease for both periods was primarily due to
higher tax credits.

Electric margin increased $2.3 million, or 2%, and $1.4 million,
or 1%, for the three- and six-month periods, respectively,
primarily due to electric sales growth, including increased sales
to higher-margin residential and commercial customers, partially
offset by increased purchased-power capacity costs.  Also
contributing to the six-month increase were more favorable

                                       34


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
currently recover the costs of fuel and the energy portion of
purchased-power billings.  Refer to "Utility Industry Review -
Rates and Regulatory Matters" for discussion of an IUB fuel
investigation.

                                =================  ===============

Gas revenues and cost of gas sold increased significantly for the
three- and six-month periods due to the large increase in natural
gas prices.  Such increases had no impact on IESU's gas margin
given its rate recovery mechanism for gas costs.  Gas margin
decreased $1.0 million, or 9%, and increased $1.4 million, or 4%,
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively.
Gas margins for both time periods were negatively impacted by
higher natural gas costs as some customers either chose
alternative fuel sources or used less natural gas.  The six-month
increase was largely due to more favorable weather conditions in
the first quarter of 2001 compared with the first quarter of
2000.

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 $1.0 million and $6.8 million for the three-
and six-month periods, respectively, primarily due to increased
energy delivery, fossil-plant maintenance and nuclear expenses,
partially offset by reduced administrative and general expenses
and one-time fees incurred in the second quarter of 2000
associated with the transfer from the MAPP reliability region to
the MAIN region.
                                       35

Interest Expense and Other - Miscellaneous, net income increased
- --------------------------
$0.9 million and decreased $1.8 million for the three- and
six-month periods, respectively.  The six-month decrease was
primarily due to interest income recognized from a tax settlement
in the first quarter of 2000, partially offset by increases in
other interest income.

Income Taxes - The effective income tax rates were 39.3% and
- ------------
39.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001,
respectively, compared with 44.7% and 42.7%, respectively, for
the same periods last year.  The decrease for both periods was
due to decreases in property-related temporary differences for
which deferred taxes are not provided pursuant to rate making
principles.

                                     =================  ===============

Electric margin decreased $9.0 million, or 8%, and $10.9 million,
or 5%, for the three- and six-month periods, respectively,
                                       36


primarily due to a second quarter 2000 change in estimate of
WP&L's utility services rendered but unbilled at month-end of $10
million, the impact of the formation of ATC and lower energy
conservation revenues. Such decreases were partially offset by
electric sales growth, including increased sales to higher-margin
residential and commercial customers.  More favorable weather
conditions in the first quarter of 2001 compared to the first
quarter of 2000, when milder than normal weather conditions
prevailed, also partially offset the six-month decrease.  Refer
to "Utility Industry Review - Rates and Regulatory Matters" for
discussion of a WP&L FAC filing in December 2000.

Due to the formation of ATC on January 1, 2001, electric margin
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 included
expenses of $7 million and $14 million, respectively.  Such
expenses were offset by equity income, lower depreciation expense
and reduced other operation and maintenance expenses, resulting in no
significant net income impact due to the formation of ATC.  Refer to
Note 5 of Alliant Energy's "Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements" in Item 1. for additional information related to ATC.

Under PSCW rules, WP&L can seek emergency rate increases if the annual
fuel and purchased-power costs are more than 3 percent higher than the
estimated costs used to establish rates.

                                    =================  ===============

Gas revenues and cost of gas sold increased significantly for the
three- and six-month periods due to the large increase in natural
gas prices.  Gas margin decreased $1.1 million, or 11%, and $1.7
million, or 6%, for the three- and six-month periods,
respectively, primarily due to impacts of the higher natural gas
costs as some customers either chose alternative fuel sources or
used less natural gas.  Also contributing to the six-month
decrease were losses associated with current commodity costs,
which are shared by ratepayers and shareowners, 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.
                                       37


Other Operating Expenses - Other operation and maintenance
- ------------------------
expenses decreased $9.2 million and $9.5 million for the three-
and six-month periods, respectively, primarily due to lower
nuclear expenses and the impact of the formation of ATC.  The
lower nuclear expenses were primarily due to a planned second
quarter 2000 refueling outage at Kewaunee.

Taxes other than income taxes increased $1.1 million and $2.2
million for the three- and six-month periods, respectively, due
to increased gross receipts and payroll taxes.

Interest Expense and Other - Equity income from unconsolidated
- --------------------------
investments increased $3.3 million and $8.1 million for the
three- and six-month periods, respectively, due to ATC
beginning operations on January 1, 2001.

Miscellaneous, net income decreased $4.8 million for the
six-month period primarily due to income realized from weather
hedges in the first quarter of 2000.

Income Taxes - The effective income tax rates were 38.2% and 38.3% for the
- ------------
three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively, compared with
38.4% and 37.5%, respectively, for the same periods last year.

                  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows for Six-Month Periods - Alliant Energy's cash flows from
- --------------------------------
operating activities increased $22 million primarily due to changes in
working capital; cash flows from financing activities decreased $393 million
primarily due to net changes in the amount of debt outstanding; and cash
flows used for investing activities decreased $394 million primarily due to
the January 2000 Brazil investment.  IESU's cash flows from operating
activities decreased $15 million primarily due to a scheduled nuclear
refueling outage in the second quarter of 2001 and cash flows from financing
activities increased $71 million primarily due to changes in the amount of
debt outstanding.  WP&L's cash flows from operating activities decreased
$41 million primarily due to changes in working capital; cash flows used
for financing activities increased $37 million primarily due to the payment of
common stock dividends in 2001; and cash flows used for investing activities
decreased $76 million due to proceeds received from the transfer of its
transmission assets to ATC.  WP&L did not declare a common stock dividend
in 2000 as part of the management of its capital structure.

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
- ---------------------------
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, sells its respective receivables on a limited
recourse basis through wholly-owned special purpose entities to an
affiliated financing entity, which in turn sells the receivables to an
outside investor.  The new program became operational in the second
quarter of 2001 and replaces the previously existing programs for
IESU and WP&L.

Investments - Under PUHCA, certain investments of Alliant Energy
- -----------
in exempt wholesale generators and foreign utility companies are
limited to 50 percent of Alliant Energy's consolidated retained
earnings.  In May 2001, Alliant Energy filed an application with
the SEC to request, among other things, aggregate investment
authority with respect to exempt wholesale generators and foreign
utility companies in the amount of $1.75 billion.  The
application is currently under review with the SEC.  Alliant
Energy expects the SEC will approve an increase in
Alliant Energy's investment authority from 50 percent to 100
percent of consolidated retained earnings in the third quarter of
2001 and reserve jurisdiction over the increase to $1.75 billion
to a later date.

In July 2001, Alliant Energy and Resources made another on-going,
routine filing with the SEC requesting, among other things, approval
for a program of external financing, credit support agreements and
other related proposals for the period through December 31, 2004.
                                       38

Construction and Acquisition Expenditures - To help ensure
- -----------------------------------------
electric service reliability for its customers, Alliant Energy has
announced a program called PowerPledge, which is designed to increase
Alliant Energy's power supply, upgrade existing systems and use more
renewable energy sources.  Through this program, Alliant Energy's utility
subsidiaries plan to invest $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 with an estimated investment of
$2.5 billion.  In Iowa, IESU announced a willingness to develop up
to 1,200 MW of new electric power generation over the next 10 years.
In Wisconsin, WP&L announced plans to develop up to 800 MW of new
electric power generation over the next 10 years.  The Wisconsin
plans include the addition of 500 MW of coal-fired and 100 MW of
natural gas-fired generation by 2006 and an additional 200 MW of
combined-cycle gas generation by 2011.  Both the Iowa and
Wisconsin proposals are subject to various conditions, including
the receipt of applicable regulatory approval and the receipt of
a reasonable return on IESU's and WP&L's investments.

                           OTHER MATTERS

Refer to Note 4 of IESU's "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements"
in Item 1. for discussion of a merger between IESU and IPC that is
currently expected to be completed by January 1, 2002.

Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Positions
Alliant Energy's primary market risk exposures are associated
with interest rates, commodity prices, equity prices and currency
exchange rates.  Alliant Energy has risk management policies to
monitor and assist in controlling these market risks and uses
derivative instruments to manage some of the exposures.  Alliant
Energy's market risks have not changed materially from the market
risks reported in the 2000 Form 10-K, except as noted below.

Equity Price Risk - At June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, Alliant Energy
- -----------------
had an investment in the stock of McLeod, a publicly traded telecommunications
company, valued at $257 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 June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 would not
have a significant impact on net income as any resulting increase (decrease)
in the value of the option would be substantially offset by a corresponding
increase (decrease) in the value of the McLeod shares classified as trading
(valued at $72 million and $221 million at June 30, 2001 and December 31,
2000, respectively).  At June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the McLeod
available-for-sale securities were valued at $185 million and $570 million,
respectively.  A 10 percent increase (decrease) in the quoted market price at
June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 would have increased (decreased) the
value of the investment of the available-for-sale securities by $19 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 June 30, 2001 and
December 31, 2000, Alliant Energy had a cumulative foreign
currency translation loss of $130 million and $60 million,
respectively, recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive
income" on its Consolidated Balance Sheets that primarily related
to decreases in value of the Brazil real, New Zealand dollar and
Australian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar.  Based on
Alliant Energy's investments at June 30, 2001 and December 31,
2000, a 10 percent sustained increase (decrease) over the next 12
months in the foreign exchange rates of Australia, Brazil, China
and New Zealand would increase (decrease) the cumulative foreign
currency translation gain/loss by $47 million and $46 million,
respectively.

Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 141, "Business Combinations,"
which requires that, among other things, all business combinations
be accounted for under the purchase method for business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001.  Use of the pooling-of-interests
method is no longer permitted.
                                       39

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets," which will result in goodwill no longer being
amortized to earnings.  Rather, goodwill will be subject to at
least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a
fair-value-based test.  The amortization of goodwill
existing as of June 30, 2001 ceases upon adoption of SFAS 142,
which will be January 1, 2002 for Alliant Energy.  Alliant Energy
has not yet fully quantified the impacts of SFAS 142 on its
financial condition or results of operations.

                              OUTLOOK

Alliant Energy currently estimates that earnings per share from
continuing operations for 2001 will be in the $2.40 to $2.55
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; continued cost
control and operational efficiencies in its utility operations;
ability to recover its purchased-power and fuel costs, both
domestically and internationally; ability to offset start-up and
growth-related interest expenses in its non-regulated businesses
with sales of non-strategic assets and to redeploy such proceeds
into more strategic earnings-generating investments; continued
improved profitability of its international investments;
continued improved profitability of its non-regulated businesses as
a whole, including oil and gas, electricity trading, integrated
energy and transportation services; stable oil and gas prices;
and other stable business conditions.  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 experiencing drought conditions, which will have a
negative impact on Alliant Energy's 2001 earnings given that the
large majority of generation in Brazil is hydroelectric.  However,
Alliant Energy expects to be able to mitigate a significant
portion of this negative earnings impact as a result of its current
ability to sell its excess energy into the wholesale power
market.  The Brazilian government is currently reviewing the
make-up of such market in Brazil and thus it is possible that changes
in current government regulations could be forthcoming.  Assuming
Alliant Energy can continue to sell its excess energy into the
market under the current government regulations, Alliant Energy
still expects the impact its Brazilian investments will have on
its 2001 earnings will be minimal.  In addition, several of
Alliant Energy's other non-regulated businesses continue to
generate strong earnings which also should offset some or all of
the impact of the Brazil drought.

Alliant Energy's strategic plan includes aggressively investing
in generation and other energy-related projects; better
connecting with customers through enhanced service reliability,
value-added products and services, and e-business initiatives;
and growing the non-regulated side of its business through
partnerships and acquisitions 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 several years.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk are
reported under Item 2. MD&A "Other Matters - Market Risk
Sensitive Instruments and Positions."

                    PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In an effort to grow and expand as a Wisconsin-based company,
Alliant Energy and WP&L filed a federal lawsuit in October 2000,
seeking declaratory relief regarding whether certain provisions
of WUHCA are unconstitutional as a violation of the interstate
commerce and equal protection provisions of the U.S.
constitution.  Alliant Energy and WP&L are challenging the
provisions of WUHCA which restrict ownership in utility holding
companies, limit the investments those companies can make and
place significant restrictions on companies that invest in
Wisconsin utility holding companies.  Alliant Energy and WP&L
also requested that the court consider the constitutionality of
issues related to the asset cap on non-utility investments
imposed by WUHCA.  Alliant Energy and WP&L were seeking only
declaratory relief and not damages in the litigation.  In
February 2001, the lawsuit was dismissed based on lack of
allegations of "injury in fact."  Alliant Energy and WP&L filed a
motion for reconsideration with the court, which was denied in
April 2001.  Alliant Energy and WP&L have appealed the lower court's
rulings to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.  Briefing of the appeal
will be concluded by mid-August, with a decision expected by Fall 2002.
Alliant Energy and WP&L cannot currently predict the outcome of this
litigation.

Alliant Energy received an adverse ruling in 1999 from a U.S.
district court judge dealing with an income tax refund claim
Alliant Energy filed relating to capital losses disallowed under
audit by the IRS.  The district court judge also disallowed
certain related deductions allowed by the IRS as an offset
against a tax refund due to Alliant Energy.  Alliant Energy
appealed the district court's ruling and the IRS appealed the
decision which led to the tax refund due to Alliant Energy.  In
June 2001, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ruled
in Alliant Energy's favor with respect to both tax issues.  In
July 2001, the government filed a petition for rehearing with the
U.S. Court of Appeals related to the capital losses allowed in
the Eighth Circuit opinion.  Alliant Energy believes the
resolution of these issues will not have a material adverse
impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
