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 accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. 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 IP&L, WP&L, 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, IP&L'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,
2002 and 2001, (b) the consolidated financial position at March 31, 2002
and December 31, 2001, and (c) the consolidated statement of cash flows
for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, have been made.
Because of the seasonal nature of Alliant Energy's utility operations,
results for the three months ended March 31, 2002 are not necessarily
indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December
31, 2002.
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):
2002 2001
------------- -------------
Net income $9,743 $9,199
Other comprehensive income (loss):
Unrealized gains (losses) on securities:
Unrealized holding losses arising during period, net of tax (1) (5,350) (127,620)
Less: reclassification adjustment for losses included in net
income, net of tax (2) (16,185) --
------------- -------------
Net unrealized gains (losses) on securities 10,835 (127,620)
------------- -------------
Foreign currency translation adjustments 6,872 (47,592)
------------- -------------
Unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives qualified as hedges:
Unrealized holding gains arising during period, net of tax 565 270
Less: reclassification adjustment for gains (losses) included
in net income, net of tax 4,057 (3,797)
------------- -------------
Net unrealized gains (losses) on qualifying derivatives (3,492) 4,067
------------- -------------
Other comprehensive income (loss) 14,215 (171,145)
------------- -------------
Comprehensive income (loss) $23,958 ($161,946)
============= =============
(1) Primarily due to quarterly adjustments to the estimated fair value of
Alliant Energy's investment in McLeod (the 2002 amount reflects
adjustments only through January 30, 2002; refer to Note 8 for
additional information).
(2) The first quarter 2002 earnings include pre-tax losses of $21.2 million
and $5.0 million related to asset valuation charges for Alliant
Energy's McLeod and Capstone investments, respectively.

The non-regulated net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2002
included after-tax asset valuation charges of $12.9 million related to
Alliant Energy's McLeod investment and $8.2 million related to Alliant
Energy's investments in Enermetrix and Capstone. Included in the
non-regulated net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001
was after-tax non-cash SFAS 133 valuation income (charges) of $20 million
and ($24) million, respectively, related to electricity derivatives held
by Alliant Energy's Australian investment (Southern Hydro).
4. The provisions for income taxes are based on the estimated annual
effective tax rate, which differs from the federal statutory rate of 35%
principally due to state income taxes, the impact of foreign income and
associated taxes, tax credits, effects of utility rate making and certain
non-deductible expenses.
5. Alliant Energy continues to utilize derivative instruments to manage its
exposures to various market risks as described in Alliant Energy's, IP&L's
and WP&L's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2001. 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 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2001.
For the three months ended March 31, 2002, an insignificant amount of
income was recognized in connection with hedge ineffectiveness in
accordance with SFAS 133. At March 31, 2002, the maximum length of time
over which Alliant Energy hedged its exposure to the variability in future
cash flows for forecasted transactions was twelve months and Alliant
Energy estimates that losses of $1.9 million will be reclassified from
accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings within the twelve
months between April 1, 2002 and March 31, 2003 as the hedged transactions
affect earnings.
6. 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:
2002 2001
---------------- ----------------
Weighted average common shares outstanding:
Basic earnings per share calculation 89,964,212 79,027,898
Effect of dilutive securities 89,812 170,384
---------------- ----------------
Diluted earnings per share calculation 90,054,024 79,198,282
================ ================
For the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, 1,831,088 and
1,068,128 options, respectively, to purchase shares of common stock, with
an average exercise price of $30.86 and $31.55, respectively, were
excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the
exercise prices were greater than the average market price.
9
7. Alliant Energy adopted SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," as
of January 1, 2002, which resulted in goodwill no longer being subject to
amortization. Consolidated goodwill and other intangible assets are not
material to Alliant Energy, and are primarily included in "Deferred
charges and other" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Had SFAS 142 been
adopted January 1, 2001, for the three months ended March 31, 2001,
net income would have increased $0.8 million and basic and diluted EPS
would have increased $0.01 per share.
8. Prior to January 31, 2002, Alliant Energy's investment in McLeod was
accounted for under the provisions of SFAS 115. On January 31, 2002,
McLeod filed a pre-negotiated plan of reorganization in a Chapter 11
bankruptcy proceeding and the trading of McLeod's common stock was
suspended by Nasdaq. Subsequently, Alliant Energy discontinued accounting
for its investment in McLeod under the provisions of SFAS 115. Alliant
Energy's cost basis in the available-for-sale securities was reduced from
$28 million at December 31, 2001 to a new cost basis of $7 million ($0.18
per share) at January 31, 2002. As a result, the cumulative unrealized
pre-tax loss of $21 million (including an unrealized pre-tax loss of $8
million accumulated from January 1, 2002 to January 30, 2002) associated
with its previously classified available-for-sale securities was
reclassified to earnings in the first quarter of 2002. Alliant Energy's
McLeod shares designated as trading securities at December 31, 2001 were
adjusted during the first quarter of 2002 to the last quoted market price
on January 30, 2002 ($0.18 per share) to a new cost basis of $3 million
resulting in a pre-tax charge to earnings in the first quarter of 2002 on
the trading securities of $3 million. From January 31, 2002 to March 31,
2002, Alliant Energy accounted for the aggregate $10 million investment in
McLeod as a cost method investment following the provisions of APB 18,
"The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock."
9. Alliant Energy has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the payment of
principal and interest on various debt securities 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 securities. Alliant Energy's condensed consolidating
financial statements are as follows:

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 IP&L.
1. The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by IP&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
accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. have been condensed
or omitted, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading. The merger of IPC with
and into IESU was effective January 1, 2002 and IESU changed its name to
IP&L. These statements are prepared on the basis of accounting for the
merger as a common control merger. Certain adjustments have been made to
the prior period amounts as part of the restatement to reflect the common
control transaction. IP&L is a subsidiary of Alliant Energy. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with IESU's financial
statements and the notes thereto included in IP&L's latest Annual Report
on Form 10-K and with IP&L's pro forma combined financial statements and
notes thereto included in IP&L's Current Report on Form 8-K dated January
1, 2002, as amended by IP&L's Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
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,
2002 and 2001, (b) the consolidated financial position at March 31, 2002
and December 31, 2001, and (c) the consolidated statement of cash flows
for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, have been made.
Because of the seasonal nature of IP&L's operations, results for the three
months ended March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of results that
may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002.
2. IP&L's comprehensive income, and the components of other comprehensive
income, net of taxes, for the three months ended March 31 were as follows
(in thousands):
2002 2001
------------ ------------
Earnings available for common stock $12,020 $14,832
Other comprehensive income:
Reclassification adjustment for losses included in earnings
available for common stock related to derivatives
qualified as hedges, net of tax -- 18

Other comprehensive income -- 18

UTILITY INDUSTRY REVIEW
A summary of the regulatory environment is included in the Form 10-K filed by
Alliant Energy, IP&L and WP&L for the year ended December 31, 2001. Set
forth below are several recent developments relating to the regulatory
environment.
Overview - In September 2001, six electric utility companies, including IESU
- --------
and IPC, filed an application with FERC to create TRANSLink, a for-profit,
transmission-only company. In April 2002, FERC conditionally approved the
formation of TRANSLink and TRANSLink's participation in the Midwest ISO.
Current plans call for IP&L to contribute its transmission assets, which have
an estimated net book value of approximately $317 million, to TRANSLink in
exchange for a corresponding ownership interest in TRANSLink. The TRANSLink
proposal is also subject to receipt of all required state regulatory
approvals. TRANSLink is currently expected to be operational in 2003.
FERC is pursuing a redesign of the electric wholesale markets and is expected
to issue proposed market rules in the Summer of 2002, which will define the
manner in which electric markets operate and the role that RTOs will perform
25
in that market. Alliant Energy cannot presently predict the impact these
proposed rules may have on its financial condition and results of
operations.
Rates and Regulatory Matters
- ----------------------------
WP&L - In April 2002, the PSCW issued an interim rate order in WP&L's current
retail rate case authorizing a total increase of approximately $49 million
($34 million for retail electric and $15 million for retail natural gas).
The interim rates became effective April 25, 2002, and if final rates are set
lower than interim rates, customers would receive a refund of the difference,
plus interest. As of April 2002, WP&L's final rate request totaled $85
million ($58 million for retail electric, $25 million for retail natural gas
and $2 million for water) and final rates, as approved by the PSCW, are
expected to be implemented in late June or early July 2002. Also, in
February 2002, WP&L filed a $6.2 million request with FERC for new wholesale
electric base rates. In May 2002, WP&L filed a $59 million ($48 million for
retail electric, $10 million for retail natural gas and $1 million for retail
water) base rate increase request with the PSCW to be effective on January 1,
2003. This 2003 increase is related to infrastructure investments in
reliability, fuel and purchased-power costs, and costs related to increasing
the amount of WP&L's equity.
In March 2002, WP&L filed with the PSCW to refund approximately $4 million to
customers based on lower than projected fuel and purchased-power costs in
2001. In addition, in March 2002, WP&L filed with and received approval from
the PSCW for a decrease in retail electric rates of approximately $19 million,
effective March 23, 2002, based on lower 2002 fuel and purchased-power costs.
The refund amounts ultimately provided by WP&L are subject to PSCW approval.
WP&L had recorded the necessary reserves for refunds at March 31, 2002.
IP&L - In March 2002, IP&L filed an electric base rate case with the IUB
requesting an increase in electric revenues of approximately $82 million for
recovery of its investments in its infrastructure that are intended to enable
IP&L to continue delivering reliable utility service. Also in March 2002,
IP&L filed a request for interim rate relief related to such filing of
approximately $22 million. If granted, the interim and final rate increases
will go into effect, subject to refund, no later than 90 days and 10 months,
respectively, after the filing. IP&L plans on filing a natural gas base rate
case with the IUB in the Summer of 2002.
In January 2001, the IUB issued an order requiring IESU and IPC to file a
joint fuel procurement plan for the purpose of evaluating the reasonableness
of the Iowa utilities' fuel procurement contracts. In April 2002, the IUB
issued an order which found no reason to require a refund of past fuel and
purchased-power cost collections or disallow recovery of ongoing
collections. However, the IUB indicated it will continue to examine in other
forums several issues related to purchased-power contracts, the design of the
fuel cost recovery mechanism and long-term planning practices. IP&L cannot
presently predict the impact this matter may have on its financial condition
and results of operations.
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's EPS for the first quarter
- --------------------------------
of 2002 and 2001 were as follows:
2002 2001
-------- --------
EPS per accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. $0.11 $0.12
Plus: EPS related to non-cash SFAS 133 valuation charges:
Electricity derivatives of a foreign affiliate of Alliant Energy -- 0.30
30-year exchangeable senior notes 0.02 0.03
Valuation charge related to Alliant Energy's McLeod investment 0.14 --
Less: EPS related to non-cash SFAS 133 income from the valuation of electricity
derivatives of a foreign affiliate of Alliant Energy 0.22 --
-------- --------
Adjusted EPS $0.05 $0.45
======== ========
26
The first quarter 2002 decrease in adjusted earnings was primarily due to a
decrease from Alliant Energy's non-regulated businesses of $0.31 per share.
Contributing to the decrease were lower earnings from Alliant Energy's:
Investments business unit of $0.16 per share; the Integrated Services
business unit of $0.07 per share; the International business unit of $0.04
per share; and a $0.04 per share asset valuation charge at Alliant Energy's
Energy Technologies division. Earnings from utility operations decreased
$0.08 per share due to increased operating expenses and lower electric and
gas margins.
In the previous table, all of the adjustments to EPS per accounting
principles generally accepted in the U.S. were recorded at Alliant Energy's
non-regulated businesses. The lower earnings from the Investments business
unit were largely due to a 64% decrease in Whiting's average gas sales prices
compared to the extraordinarily high gas prices of the first quarter of
2001. A 28% decrease in average oil sales prices and decreased oil volumes
sold also contributed to the earnings decrease. These items were partially
offset by an increase in gas sales volumes. The reduced earnings at the
Integrated Services business unit were primarily due to recording an asset
valuation charge of $0.06 per share in the first quarter of 2002 related to
its $10 million investment in Enermetrix, an energy technology start-up
enterprise. Alliant Energy divested its ownership interest in Enermetrix in
the second quarter of 2002. The decrease in income from the International
business unit was primarily due to lower results from its Southern Hydro
generation investment in Australia. Such earnings decrease resulted from
lower sales due to mild weather conditions and lower spot market prices. A
slight increase in earnings from Alliant Energy's China investments was
offset by a modest decrease in earnings from its Brazil investments. Due to
Brazil's drought conditions, earnings were negatively impacted in the first
quarter of 2002 by a government-imposed rationing program. Brazil has
recently received significant rainfall and, therefore, the government
completely lifted its rationing program effective March 1, 2002. As a
result, Alliant Energy expects electricity sales to begin returning to more
normal levels through the rest of the year. In addition, wholesale spot
market prices in Brazil have been unusually low. These lower market prices
have impacted the profitability of a new thermal plant constructed by Alliant
Energy and its Brazilian partners that began operating in late 2001. Alliant
Energy's Energy Technologies division recorded an asset valuation charge of
$0.04 per share in the first quarter of 2002 related to its $10 million
investment in Capstone, a publicly-traded microturbine producer.
Electric Utility Operations - Electric margins and MWh sales for Alliant
- ---------------------------
Energy for the three months ended March 31 were as follows (in thousands):
Revenues and Costs MWhs Sold
--------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
2002 2001 Change 2002 2001 Change
--------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
Residential $137,247 $149,687 (8%) 1,874 1,971 (5%)

Purchased-power expense 72,337 98,733 (27%)
----------------------------
Margin $239,665 $244,936 (2%)
============================
Electric margin decreased $5.3 million, or 2%, primarily related to decreased
retail sales due to extremely mild weather in the first quarter of 2002 and a
continuing sluggish economy in the upper Midwest. Reduced energy
conservation revenues also contributed to the decrease. These items were
partially offset by lower purchased-power and fuel costs and increased sales
from continued retail customer growth. The economic slowdown had the most
significant impact on electric industrial sales, which were down nearly 5%
for the three-month period. Refer to "Utility Industry Review - Rates and
Regulatory Matters" for discussion of various rate filings.
27
Gas Utility Operations - Gas margins and Dth sales for Alliant Energy for the
- ----------------------
three months ended March 31 were as follows (in thousands):
Revenues and Costs Dths Sold
----------------------------------- ----------------------------------
2002 2001 Change 2002 2001 Change
----------------------------------- ----------------------------------
Residential $76,586 $166,557 (54%) 13,419 15,580 (14%)

-------------------------- ----------------------
Total revenues/sales 128,241 289,818 (56%) 35,532 40,228 (12%)
======================
Cost of utility gas sold 83,756 238,258 (65%)
--------------------------
Margin $44,485 $51,560 (14%)
==========================
Gas revenues and cost of utility gas sold decreased significantly due to the
large decrease in natural gas prices from the first quarter of 2001. Due to
Alliant Energy's rate recovery mechanisms for gas costs, these increases
alone had little impact on gas margin. Gas margin decreased $7.1 million, or
14%, primarily due to the impact of lower sales resulting from extremely mild
weather in the first quarter of 2002 and continued sluggish economic
conditions in the upper Midwest. Reduced energy conservation revenues also
contributed to the decrease. These items were partially offset by increased
sales from continued retail customer growth and improved performance related
to WP&L's performance-based commodity cost recovery program. Refer to
"Utility Industry Review - Rates and Regulatory Matters" for discussion of
various rate filings.
Non-regulated and Other Revenues - Details regarding Alliant Energy's
- --------------------------------
non-regulated and other revenues and data relating to Whiting's oil and gas
operations for the three months ended March 31 were as follows:
Non-regulated and other revenues (in thousands): 2002 2001
-------------- --------------
Integrated Services $57,206 $84,199
Investments:
Whiting 21,848 42,776
Other 10,786 10,609
International 27,852 6,287
Other 19,542 7,081
-------------- --------------
$137,234 $150,952
============== ==============
Whiting's volumes sold (in thousands):
Oil (barrels) 466 565
Gas (Dth) 4,943 4,322
Whiting's average product prices:
Oil $18.50 $25.71
Gas $2.34 $6.45
The decreased Integrated Services revenues were primarily due to decreased
gas revenues resulting from lower natural gas prices and volumes sold.
Reduced revenues at Whiting were primarily due to lower oil and gas prices
and lower oil volumes, partially offset by higher gas volumes. International
revenues increased primarily due to the acquisitions of additional combined
heat and power facilities in China in 2001. Other revenues increased
primarily due to the fourth quarter 2001 acquisition of a controlling
interest in SmartEnergy, Inc., an energy services company operating in
competitive energy markets.
28
Other Operating Expenses - Other operation and maintenance expenses for the
- ------------------------
three months ended March 31 were as follows (in thousands):
2002 2001
-------------- ----------------
Utility $131,763 $130,089
Integrated Services 52,622 80,186
Investments:
Whiting 11,742 11,729
Other 6,866 7,063
International 22,473 8,464
Other 13,337 665
-------------- ----------------
$238,803 $238,196
============== ================
The utility increase was primarily due to increased generation, employee
benefits and energy delivery costs, largely offset by reduced energy
conservation expenses. Alliant Energy's remaining price freezes (which were
implemented in connection with the three-way merger in 1998) expired in April
2002. Alliant Energy is addressing the recovery of its utility cost
increases related to ongoing investments to continue providing safe and
reliable utility service through rate filings in Wisconsin, Iowa and with
FERC in 2002 (refer to "Utility Industry Review - Rates and Regulatory
Matters" for additional information). The Integrated Services decrease was
primarily due to decreased gas costs resulting from lower natural gas prices
and volumes sold. The increase at the International business unit was
primarily due to the 2001 China acquisitions. Other increased primarily due
to expenses of SmartEnergy, Inc.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.1 million, primarily due
to increased earnings on the WP&L nuclear decommissioning trust fund and
utility property additions. Such increases were partially offset by $3.4
million from the implementation of lower depreciation rates at IP&L on
January 1, 2002, resulting from an updated depreciation study, and lower
decommissioning expense based on reduced funding levels at WP&L. The accounting
for earnings on the nuclear decommissioning trust fund results in no net
income impact. Miscellaneous, net income increases for earnings on the trust
fund and the corresponding offset is recorded through depreciation expense at
WP&L.
Interest Expense and Other - Equity income (loss) from Alliant Energy's
- --------------------------
unconsolidated investments for the three months ended March 31 was as follows
(in thousands):
2002 2001
------------- -------------
Australia/New Zealand $21.1 ($15.2)
ATC 4.1 4.8
China 0.3 1.4
Cargill-Alliant (0.2) 3.0
Brazil (1.7) (1.5)
Other 0.1 0.4
------------- -------------
$23.7 ($7.1)
============= =============
Equity income from unconsolidated investments increased $30.8 million,
primarily due to a $36.5 million increase in income at Alliant Energy's
Australian investment (Southern Hydro), partially offset by reduced income at
Alliant Energy's electricity trading joint venture due to fewer
weather-related trading opportunities. The Southern Hydro increase included
a $38.8 million increase in pre-tax non-cash SFAS 133 valuation income
associated with their electricity derivatives. Such increase was partially
offset by lower sales due to mild weather conditions and lower spot market
prices. In March 2002, Alliant Energy acquired a controlling interest in
Southern Hydro and therefore changed from the equity method of accounting to
the consolidation method at such time.
29
In the first quarter of 2002, Alliant Energy wrote down its investment in
McLeod available-for-sale securities to a value of $0.18 per share, the price
it traded at prior to Nasdaq halting trading upon McLeod's bankruptcy
filing. The write-down resulted in a pre-tax asset valuation charge of $21.2
million. Refer to Note 8 of Alliant Energy's Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements and "Other Matters - Other Future Considerations" for further
discussion.
Miscellaneous, net income decreased $3.7 million, largely due to pre-tax
asset valuation charges for other-than-temporary declines in value of Alliant
Energy's investments in Enermetrix ($8.5 million charge) and Capstone ($5.0
million charge). These charges were partially offset by pre-tax non-cash
SFAS 133 valuation income of $7.1 million associated with electricity
derivatives at Southern Hydro after the investment was consolidated and
increased earnings on the nuclear decommissioning trust funds.
Income Taxes - The effective income tax rates for the first quarter of 2002
- ------------
and 2001 were 33.0% and 33.9%, respectively.
Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle - In the first quarter
- -----------------------------------------------------
of 2001, Alliant Energy recorded a charge of $12.9 million relating to the
adoption of SFAS 133 on January 1, 2001 at Southern Hydro.
IP&L RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview - First Quarter Results - Earnings available for common stock
- --------------------------------
decreased $2.8 million, primarily due to lower gas margins, higher energy
delivery and generation expenses and lower electric sales. These items were
partially offset by lower purchased-power costs.
Electric Utility Operations - Electric margins and MWh sales for IP&L for the
- ---------------------------
three months ended March 31 were as follows (in thousands):

Purchased-power expense 28,159 46,363 (39%)
----------------------------
Margin $142,352 $141,987 --
============================
Electric margin increased $0.4 million, primarily due to decreased
purchased-power capacity costs and increased sales from continued retail
customer growth. These items were largely offset by lower sales due to
extremely mild weather conditions in the first quarter of 2002 compared to 2001
and a continuing sluggish economy in the upper Midwest as well as reduced energy
conservation revenues of $5.1 million. The recovery for energy conservation
revenues in Iowa is in accordance with IUB orders (a portion of these
recoveries is offset as they are also amortized to expense in other operation
and maintenance expense). Refer to "Utility Industry Review - Rates and
Regulatory Matters - IP&L" for discussion of an IP&L rate filing.
30
Gas Utility Operations - Gas margins and Dth sales for IP&L for the three
- ----------------------
months ended March 31 were as follows (in thousands):
Revenues and Costs Dths Sold
--------------------------------------- ------------------------------------

=========================
Cost of gas sold 46,360 132,006 (65%)
----------------------------
Margin $25,382 $32,180 (21%)
============================
Gas revenues and cost of gas sold decreased significantly due to the large
decrease in natural gas prices from the first quarter of 2001. Such
decreases alone had no impact on IP&L's gas margin given its rate recovery
mechanism for gas costs. Gas margin decreased $6.8 million, or 21%,
primarily due to reduced energy conservation revenues of $3.6 million and the
impact of lower sales resulting from extremely mild weather in the first
quarter of 2002 compared to 2001 and continued sluggish economic conditions
in the upper Midwest. Refer to "Utility Industry Review - Rates and
Regulatory Matters - IP&L" for discussion of an upcoming IP&L rate filing.
Other Operating Expenses - Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased
- ------------------------
$3.8 million, primarily due to a decrease of $7.7 million in energy
conservation expenses, partially offset by increased energy delivery and
generation expenses.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.7 million, primarily due
to $3.4 million from the implementation of lower depreciation rates on
January 1, 2002, resulting from an updated depreciation study, largely offset
by property additions.
Income Taxes - The effective income tax rates were 44.7% and 39.4% for the
- ------------
first quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase was primarily due
to increases in property-related temporary differences for which deferred
taxes are not provided pursuant to rate making principles.
WP&L RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview - First Quarter Results - Earnings available for common stock

----------------------------
Margin $97,313 $102,949 (5%)
============================
31
Electric margin decreased $5.6 million, or 5%, primarily due to lower sales
resulting from continued sluggish economic conditions in the upper Midwest
and extremely mild weather conditions in the first quarter of 2002, partially
offset by lower fuel and purchased-power costs impacting margin and increased
sales from continued retail customer growth. Refer to "Utility Industry
Review - Rates and Regulatory Matters - WP&L" for information on WP&L's rate
filings.
Gas Utility Operations - Gas margins and Dth sales for WP&L for the three

========================
Cost of gas sold 37,396 106,252 (65%)
-----------------------------
Margin $19,103 $19,380 (1%)
=============================
Gas revenues and cost of gas sold decreased significantly due to the large
decrease in natural gas prices from the first quarter of 2001. Due to WP&L's
rate recovery mechanism for gas costs, these decreases alone had little
impact on gas margin. Gas margin decreased $0.3 million, or 1%, primarily
from lower sales due to the extremely mild weather conditions in the first
quarter of 2002 and continued sluggish economic conditions in the upper
Midwest. These items were partially offset by increased sales from continued
retail customer growth and improved performance related to WP&L's
performance-based commodity cost recovery program. Refer to "Utility
Industry Review - Rates and Regulatory Matters - WP&L" for information on
WP&L's rate filings.
Other Operating Expenses - Other operation and maintenance expenses increased
- ------------------------
$5.5 million, primarily due to increased generation and employee benefits
expenses.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.9 million, primarily due
to increased earnings on the nuclear decommissioning trust fund, partially
offset by lower decommissioning expense based on reduced funding levels. The
accounting for earnings on the nuclear decommissioning trust fund results in
no net income impact. Miscellaneous, net income is increased for earnings on
the trust fund, which is offset in depreciation expense.
Interest Expense and Other - Miscellaneous, net income increased $6.6
- --------------------------
million, primarily due to increased earnings on the nuclear decommissioning
trust fund.
Income Taxes - The effective income tax rates were 37.4% and 38.4% for the
- ------------
first quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flows for the Three-Month Periods - Alliant Energy's cash flows from
- --------------------------------------
financing activities increased $32 million primarily due to changes in the
amount of debt issued and retired. IP&L's cash flows used for financing
activities increased $37 million primarily due to changes in the amount of
debt issued and retired. WP&L's cash flows from operating activities
increased $29 million primarily due to changes in working capital; and cash
flows used for financing activities increased $39 million primarily due to
changes in the amount of debt issued and retired.
32
Short-Term Debt - In March 2002, Alliant Energy filed an application with the
- ----------------
SEC requesting, among other things, authority through December 31, 2004, for
Alliant Energy to issue and sell up to an aggregate amount of $1 billion of
short-term debt outstanding at any one time, Alliant Energy to guarantee
borrowings by Resources in an aggregate amount that would not exceed $700
million at any one time, IP&L to issue short-term debt in a principal amount
which would not at any time exceed $300 million and to modify the utility money
pool agreement in certain respects. It is currently anticipated that WP&L will
withdraw from the utility money pool during the second quarter of 2002 and meet
its short-term borrowing needs by issuing its own commercial paper at rates
similar to the money pool rates.

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. A summary
of Alliant Energy's market risks is included in the Form 10-K filed by
Alliant Energy, IP&L and WP&L for the year ended December 31, 2001. Alliant
Energy's market risks have not changed materially from those reported in the

Critical Accounting Policies - A summary of Alliant Energy's critical
- ----------------------------
accounting policies is included in the Form 10-K filed by Alliant Energy,
IP&L and WP&L for the year ended December 31, 2001. Alliant Energy's
critical accounting policies have not changed materially from those reported
in the 2001 Form 10-K.
Other Future Considerations - In addition to items discussed earlier in MD&A,
- ---------------------------
the following items could impact Alliant Energy's future financial condition
or results of operations:
On April 17, 2002, McLeod announced its pre-negotiated plan of reorganization
had become effective and it had emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection. As a result, on April 18, 2002, McLeod's new common stock
resumed trading on Nasdaq. The plan of reorganization included the
cancellation of all the old common stock of McLeod and the issuance of new
common stock to various claimants identified in the plan. In May 2002,
Alliant Energy expects to receive its initial distribution under the plan of
approximately 3.3 million shares of new common stock of McLeod (for SFAS 115
purposes, Alliant Energy will classify 2.4 million shares as
available-for-sale and 0.9 million shares as trading). The ultimate number
of new common shares to be issued to Alliant Energy under the plan is
dependent on the resolution of disputed claims against McLeod. McLeod has
reserved 18 million shares of new common stock pending such resolution. The
reserved shares remaining, if any, after resolution of the disputed claims,
will be distributed pro-rata to the holders of the old common stock as of the
distribution record date. Depending on the resolution of the disputed
claims, Alliant Energy could receive anywhere from zero to 1.6 million shares
of additional new McLeod common stock. With the initial receipt of the new
common shares under the plan and the resumption of trading on Nasdaq in the
second quarter of 2002, Alliant Energy will resume accounting for its McLeod
investment under SFAS 115. Alliant Energy currently expects to incur an
additional impairment charge in the second quarter of 2002 upon the
resumption of accounting under SFAS 115. Refer to Note 8 of
Alliant Energy's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information.

FUTURE EARNINGS OUTLOOK
Alliant Energy has revised its guidance for estimated adjusted earnings in
2002 to a range of $2.10 to $2.30 per diluted share from its previous
guidance of $2.45 to $2.65. The guidance does include the asset valuation
charges of $0.10 per share recorded in the first quarter of 2002 related to
Alliant Energy's Enermetrix and Capstone investments. Adjusted earnings are
reported (accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.) earnings
excluding the impact of certain non-cash SFAS 133 valuation adjustments, the
asset valuation charge recorded in the first quarter of $0.14 per share
related to Alliant Energy's McLeod investment (and any additional potential
charges Alliant Energy may incur in 2002 related to its McLeod investment),
gains or losses realized from potential sales of non-strategic assets or the
potential Brazil charge as discussed later.
The reduction in the earnings guidance was largely the result of the
following factors:
o Weather: Alliant Energy's domestic utility business was negatively impacted
by extremely mild weather conditions in the Midwest in the first quarter of
2002.
o Economy: Alliant Energy's utility and Integrated Services businesses
continued to be impacted by weaker than expected economic conditions in the
first quarter of 2002. Alliant Energy believes signs of an economic
recovery are evident, which may translate into improved financial results
by these businesses in the latter half of 2002.
o Rate cases: Uncertainty regarding the timing and potential amount of
recovery from Alliant Energy's pending utility rate filings in several
jurisdictions. Alliant Energy's remaining price freezes expired in April
2002. Alliant Energy has been earning less than its authorized rate of
returns in these jurisdictions and is addressing the recovery of its cost
increases through rate filings in Wisconsin, Iowa and with FERC. Alliant
Energy is proactively managing the regulatory process in each jurisdiction
and expects to have rate relief in place in each jurisdiction later this
year.
o Lower oil and gas prices: The updated earnings guidance reflects the impact
of lower oil and gas prices than the pricing assumptions utilized in the
previous earnings guidance. Oil and gas prices have rebounded somewhat
compared to prices in early 2002 so earnings upside exists should such
recovery continue and prices eventually stabilize at higher levels.
o Lower results from our Brazil investments: In addition to the anticipated
benefits Alliant Energy expects to realize from its electricity sales in
Brazil returning to more normal levels, Alliant Energy and its Brazilian
partners have taken various actions to improve the results of its Brazilian
investments. Such initiatives include executing an extensive operational
improvement plan designed to achieve significant reductions in commercial
energy losses and enhanced collection of customer receivables. Also, the
Brazilian government is conducting a comprehensive review of the electric
industry, including the wholesale spot market, and associated regulatory
policies. Alliant Energy is an active participant in this process. The
restructuring, which is expected to be completed later this year, should
produce a more stable and predictable regulatory environment. Material
benefits from the operational improvement and industry restructuring
initiatives likely will not begin to impact results until the latter half
of 2002, however.
34
Drivers for Alliant Energy's earnings estimates include, but are not limited
to:
o Weather conditions in its domestic and international utility service
territories
o Economic development and sales growth in its utility service territories
o Cost control and operational efficiencies in its utility operations
o Ability of its utility subsidiaries to recover their operating costs, and to
earn a reasonable rate of return, in current and future rate proceedings
o Ability to recover its purchased-power and fuel costs, both domestically and
internationally
o Improved results of its Brazil investments through factors discussed earlier
as well as the continued growth in earnings from its China investments
o Improved earnings from Whiting from current levels, including the recovery
and stability of oil and gas prices and continued successful execution of
its acquisition strategy
o Continued improved profitability of its other non-regulated businesses as a
whole, including the Integrated Services and Generation and Trading
business units
o No additional material permanent declines in the fair market value of, or
expected cash flows from, Alliant Energy's investments
o Other stable business conditions, including an improving economy
Alliant Energy is committed to maintaining its dividend at the current rate
and its investment-grade credit ratings and reasonable capitalization
ratios. Alliant Energy continues its ongoing process of evaluating the sale
of certain non-strategic assets and it is possible that gains realized later
in 2002 from such sales could offset some or all of Alliant Energy's 2002
asset valuation charges included in its adjusted earnings. Also, potential
sales of non-strategic assets would enable Alliant Energy to continue
sharpening its strategic focus on its core businesses.
In connection with a regulatory ruling in Brazil, Alliant Energy's Brazil
investments recorded an asset in the fourth quarter of 2001 related to
revenues to be collected in future periods. Alliant Energy's share of the
asset was approximately $35 million. In April 2002, the Brazil legislature
approved a law that could unfavorably modify the terms of the original
regulatory ruling. The law remains subject to Brazil presidential approval
as well as clarification and implementation by the Brazil regulator. While
the ultimate outcome could require Alliant Energy to record an accounting
charge to write-off some or all of the asset later in 2002, Alliant Energy
still expects its Brazil investments to collect a significant portion, if not
all, of the revenues in future rates.
Alliant Energy continues to exercise a prudent capital expenditure program
while executing its growth strategy, and will limit additional investments in
businesses not performing up to its expectations as the focus will be on
improved operations and profitability of these businesses. Alliant Energy's
strategic plan includes investing in generation and other energy-related
projects; better connecting with customers through enhanced service
reliability, value-added products and services, and e-business initiatives;
and growing the non-regulated side of its business through partnerships and
acquisitions in generation projects, oil and gas investments, international
markets and other strategic initiatives. Alliant Energy realized 15% and 10%
of its adjusted earnings from its non-regulated businesses in 2001 and 2000,
respectively, and its goal is to have such businesses contribute more than
25% of its adjusted earnings within the next three years. Alliant Energy
believes that successful implementation of these strategies will contribute
significantly to Alliant Energy achieving its targeted long-term annual
growth rate of 7% to 10% in adjusted earnings.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In October 2000, Alliant Energy and WP&L filed a federal lawsuit 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
appealed the lower court's rulings to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. In
January 2002, the 7th Circuit reversed the district court's decision and
remanded the case back to the district court for hearing. The trial is
scheduled to be held in May 2002. Alliant Energy and WP&L cannot currently
predict the outcome of this litigation.
In the second quarter of 1999, WP&L received a demand for arbitration from
MG&E pursuant to the terms of joint plant operating agreements between the
parties regarding issues of ownership and operation of the Columbia Energy
Center. In March 2001, an arbitration panel issued its decision upholding
WP&L's position that the plant was well-operated and maintained and in
compliance with the terms of the joint plant operating agreements. MG&E
moved the state court to certify the arbitration decision, which the court
did in December 2001. In February 2002, MG&E filed a motion in the court
challenging the sufficiency of resolutions passed by Alliant Energy in
conjunction with the arbitration decision. In March 2002, the motion was
heard by the court and the judge agreed with MG&E's position, resulting in
Alliant Energy having to modify the language of its original resolution.
WP&L will review its options once the court issues an order. Alliant Energy
and WP&L cannot currently predict the outcome of the court's order.
