- ------------------------------

                           Financial Statements
                           --------------------

The following consolidated statements have been prepared without audit
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading.  These condensed financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included
in the latest WICOR, Inc. annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q.

In the opinion of management, the information furnished reflects all
adjustments, which in all circumstances were normal and recurring,
necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the
interim periods.

Because of seasonal factors, the results of operations for the interim
periods presented are not indicative of the results to be expected for
the full calendar year.

                    of Interim Financial Statements of
                                WICOR, Inc.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
The consolidated net loss for the third quarter of 1994 was $8.1 million
as compared with a net loss of $8.6 million for the third quarter of the
prior year.  Net income increased by $5.2 million, or 33%, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1994 compared to the same period of last
year.

The following factors had a significant effect on the results of
operations during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30,
1994.

Gas Distribution
- ----------------
The results of the third quarter of 1994 were essentially unchanged from
last year.  The net loss for the third quarter of 1994 was $10.5 million
as compared to a net loss of $10.7 million in the third quarter of 1993. 
The negative impact of warmer weather on margins during the 1994 third
quarter was offset by rate increases, lower than normal increases in
operating expenses and by reductions in interest expense. Conversely,
net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1994  increased by
$2.4 million or 32%, compared to the same period of last year. The
increase in 1994 year-to-date net income was due primarily to a rate
increase and colder than normal weather in the first quarter of 1994.  

Revenues, margins and volumes are summarized below.  Margin, defined as
revenues less cost of gas sold, is a better comparative performance
indicator than revenues because the mix of volumes between sales and
transportation service affects revenues but not margin.  In addition,
changes in the cost of gas sold are flowed through to revenue under a
gas adjustment clause with no resulting effect on margin.

The decrease in firm sales volumes for the third quarter of 1994 from last
year was caused principally by warmer weather in September 1994 versus
September 1993.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, the total
margin increase was primarily due to a 2.9% annual rate increase, which
became effective on November 12, 1993, and to growth in firm sales volumes. 
For both the third quarter and year-to-date, there has been a transfer of
customers and volumes to interruptible sales from transportation services. 

Operations and maintenance expenses increased by $0.5 million, or 2%, and
$8.1 million, or 10%, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September
30, 1994, respectively, compared with the same periods of 1993.  In the
third quarter, increased expenses for uncollectible accounts, software
amortization, general office costs, and outside services were partially
offset by reductions in distribution system operating costs and employee
benefit expenses.  Included in 1994 year-to-date operations expenses is a
first quarter, one-time charge of $2.7 million relating to the election by
131 employees of an early retirement option.  The related savings from the
retirements have been realized since the first quarter and it is estimated
that by year end the savings will substantially offset this first quarter
charge.  Increases in the provision for uncollectible accounts and software
amortization were additional significant factors in the overall increase
in operations and maintenance expenses for the year-to-date.
  6

These increased expenses are being recovered in rates on an annual basis
under the November 1993 rate order.

Depreciation expense increased for both the quarter and year-to-date due
to recent capital additions. For the third quarter and year-to-date, when
compared to 1993, interest expense on long-term debt decreased primarily
as a result of lower interest rates achieved through a $45 million long-
term debt refinancing in September 1993.  The increase in the quarter and
year-to-date other interest expense is due primarily to the amortization
of previously deferred interest related to the financing of gas in storage. 
This was offset in part by lower short-term interest expense from reduced
short-term borrowings in 1994.  The income tax benefit for the third
quarter of 1993 was lower than 1994 because of the lower pre-tax loss and
as a result of a federal income tax increase retroactive to January 1,
1993.  Income tax expense for the year-to-date increased primarily due to
higher pre-tax income.

Wisconsin Gas received its most recent rate increase from the Public
Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) in November 1993.  In July 1993
Wisconsin Gas proposed an alternative method of ratemaking which provided
for an indexed rate cap and a weather adjustment mechanism (WAM).  The PSCW
has given initial approval to an alternative approach with a three-year
margin rate cap (without the WAM) based on the rates approved in November
1993.  It is expected that the PSCW will give Wisconsin Gas the option of
either accepting the modified proposal or filing a traditional rate case
in March 1995 with new rates becoming effective in November 1995. 
Wisconsin Gas anticipates it will accept the modified proposal.

Manufacturing
- -------------
Manufacturing net income for the third quarter of $2.4 million was 12%
higher than last year's net income of $2.1 million.  The increase in third
quarter results reflects one-time 1993 charges related to the acquisition
of SHURflo, and were offset in part by higher operating expenses and
competitive market conditions during the quarter this year.  For the nine
months ended September 30, 1994, manufacturing net income increased by 34%
to $11.0 million compared to the same period last year.  This improvement
resulted from increased sales as well as improved operating efficiencies. 

Net sales were $74.4 million for the third quarter of 1994, up 5% from the
comparable period in 1993.  Domestic sales in the 1994 third quarter showed
no increase over the 1993 third quarter, while international sales
increased by 14%.  For the first nine months of 1994, net sales increased
by 11% to $239.6 million compared to the same period in 1993.  On a year-
to-date basis, domestic sales increased by 7% and international sales
increased by 19% over the same periods in 1993.  For the nine months ended
September 30, 1994, international sales accounted for 36% of total net
sales.  

New product sales, including several new pumps sold in the European market,
also contributed to the increase in sales.  Improvements were seen in the
Australian markets as that economy continues to recover.  Results for 1994
also include the operations of Dega Research Pty. Ltd., a pool equipment
manufacturer acquired in November 1993.  Substantial improvements were seen
in the water system, recreational vehicle, industrial, and water
  7

purification markets.  Marine, agricultural, and other original equipment
applications have also contributed to the sales increase.

Gross profit margins decreased slightly from 28% to 27% for the third 
quarter as compared to 1993.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1994
and 1993, the gross profit margin was constant at 28%.  Operating expenses
as a percentage of sales for the quarter and year-to-date as compared to
1993 declined from 22% to 21% and from 21% to 20%, respectively.  Year-to-
date operating expenses increased in 1994 over 1993 by $2.9 million.  This
was due primarily to higher selling expenses associated with the higher
level of sales.  Lower interest expense, mostly due to lower debt levels,
also contributed to improved earnings for the quarter and year-to-date. 


Non-Operating Income and Income Taxes
- -------------------------------------
Interest expense was down slightly for the three- and nine- months periods
ended September 30, 1994, in comparison to 1993, due primarily to a $45.0
million long-term debt refinancing in September 1993 in the gas
distribution business and, also, to lower levels of short-term debt
throughout the Company. 

Income tax expense was $3.0 million higher for the first nine months of
1994, compared to the same period last year, reflecting an increase in pre-
tax income.  The income tax benefit for the third quarter of 1993 was lower
as a result of a federal income tax increase retroactive to January 1,
1993.

Financial Condition
- -------------------
Cash flow from operations increased by $76.5 million from 1993 to $108.5
million for the first nine months of 1994.  The improvement is in part due
to the increase in net income and depreciation.  Greater volumes of gas in
storage at the beginning of the year resulted in $49.0 million of reduced
cash requirements for gas purchases in the first nine months of 1994
compared to 1993.  The first nine months of 1994 also benefitted from
recovery of demand charges over the heating season in 1994, rather than
throughout the year as in 1993.  The impact of this change has lessened
since the second quarter.

The increase in cash from other non-current assets and liabilities was a
result of increased recovery of deferred uncollectible expense, recognition
of a deferred regulatory liability for environmental clean-up cost
recoveries, and a net increase in the liability for postretirement benefits
due to the early retirement option at Wisconsin Gas in the first quarter
of 1994.

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 amounted
to $37.0 million and additional capital expenditures of $22.2 million are
expected for the remainder of 1994.  Gas distribution capital expenditures
are expected to increase in 1994 over 1993 as several expansion projects
are underway.

More short-term borrowings were repaid in the first nine months of 1994
than in 1993 because of the higher level of short-term debt at
  8

December 31, 1993 versus December 31, 1992.  The higher level of short-term
debt was needed primarily to finance gas in storage.  Cash from operations
provided sufficient funds to make these payments.  There will be a need for
additional short-term borrowing during the remainder of 1994 primarily to
finance utility receivables and gas in storage.

On July 26, 1994, the directors of the Company authorized an increase in
the Company's per share common stock dividend to $.40 per quarter ($1.60
per share on an annual basis).  The first quarterly payment at the new
level was made August 31, 1994 to shareholders of record on August 12,
1994.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited):
- ------------------------------------------------------

1)    At September 30, 1994 WICOR had borrowings of $13.8 million and
      availability of $215.8 million under unsecured lines of credit with
      several banks.

      A total of $57.1 million of commercial paper was outstanding as of
      September 30, 1994 at a weighted average interest rate of 5.0%.


2)    For purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, income
      taxes paid, net of refunds, and interest paid (excluding capitalized
      interest) were as follows:

      
      
                                                  For the Nine Months 
                                                   Ended September 30, 
                                                ------------------------
                                                   1994          1993   
                                                ----------    ----------
                                                 (Thousands of Dollars)
                                                                 
      Income taxes paid                         $   31,511     $   12,064  
      Interest paid                             $   13,751     $   12,544  

      

3)    In July 1993, Wisconsin Gas submitted an incentive rate making
      proposal to the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin ("PSCW").  In
      its April 1994 initial decision, the PSCW significantly modified the
      Wisconsin Gas proposal.  Under the modified proposal, Wisconsin Gas
      rates will be subject to a three year margin rate cap based on the
      rates approved in November, 1993.  Wisconsin Gas will also be
      required to reduce its rates by $10.1 million, to reflect a
      reduction in certain non-cash expenses.  Over a twelve month period,
      this rate reduction will result in no net income impact, but will
      reduce  cash flow.  It is expected that the PSCW will give Wisconsin
      Gas the option of either accepting the modified proposal or filing
      a traditional rate case in March 1995 with new rates becoming
      effective in November, 1995.  Wisconsin Gas anticipates it will
      accept the modified proposal.


4)    In January 1994, Wisconsin Gas offered a voluntary early retirement
      incentive plan to employees age 55 and over.  A total of 131
      employees elected to retire under the provisions of this incentive
      plan.  Wisconsin Gas recorded a charge, which includes the impact on
      the pension and postretirement benefit plans, to operating expense
      of $2.7 million in the first quarter of 1994.

Part II - Other Information
- ---------------------------

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
- -------------------------

General
- -------
On June 16, 1994, the Supreme Court of Wisconsin issued a decision, in a
matter not involving WICOR or its subsidiaries, which holds in general that
comprehensive general liability insurance policies may not provide coverage
for response costs involving Wisconsin sites incurred under Federal or
State environmental clean-up statutes in certain circumstances.  In July
1994, Wisconsin Gas and Sta-Rite joined more than 50 other Wisconsin
businesses, the Wisconsin Department of Justice, the Wisconsin Department
of Natural Resources and several other groups and individual firms in
urging the Supreme Court to reconsider its decision.  The motion to
reconsider was, however, denied by the Wisconsin Supreme Court in October
1994.

Wisconsin Gas
- -------------
During the first quarter of 1994, Wisconsin Gas initiated suit against
certain of its liability insurance carriers for coverage for environmental
property damage associated with former manufactured gas plants.  The
insurance carriers named as defendants in the suit recently moved to
dismiss the case, contending that the June 1994 decision of the Supreme
Court of Wisconsin discussed above makes it questionable as to whether they
will be obligated to reimburse Wisconsin Gas for such costs.  The motion
was decided in favor of Wisconsin Gas.

Wisconsin Gas is continuing to litigate its claims and is in various stages
of negotiations with its insurance carriers regarding settlement of the
litigation.  A trial in the matter is scheduled for January 9, 1995.  Based
on recent PSCW orders, Wisconsin Gas currently believes that any cleanup
costs  not recoverable from its insurance carriers will be allowed full
recovery in rates (excluding carrying costs).  

Sta-Rite
- --------
During the second quarter of 1994, Sta-Rite was notified by the Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources (the "WDNR") that it believed that solvents
used at a manufacturing site previously operated by Sta-Rite have migrated
and have caused or contributed to the contamination of a Deerfield,
Wisconsin municipal well and surrounding property.  The population of
Deerfield is approximately 1,260 persons.  Sta-Rite is continuing its 
investigation regarding the allegations raised by the WDNR.  Sta-Rite
cannot estimate at the present time what costs it may incur for this
remediation nor, in light of the Wisconsin Supreme Court's decision
discussed above, whether any costs incurred will be covered by insurance.

Details regarding other litigation involving Sta-Rite were previously
reported in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 1994
and June 30, 1994.

   directors and who will be involved in acquisition and strategic
   endeavors.
