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 GAAP 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,
2003 and 2002, (b) the consolidated financial position at March 31, 2003
and Dec. 31, 2002, and (c) the consolidated statement of cash flows for
the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, have been made. Because
of the seasonal nature of Alliant Energy's utility operations, results for
the three months ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of
results that may be expected for the year ending Dec. 31, 2003. Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified on a basis consistent with the
current period presentation.
2. Alliant Energy's comprehensive income, and the components of other
comprehensive income, net of taxes, for the three months ended March 31

Net income (loss) 26,977 8,491 (23,592) (15,101) (2,133) 9,743
4. The provisions for income taxes for earnings from continuing operations
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 utilizes 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 Dec. 31, 2002. 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 Dec. 31, 2002.
For the three months ended March 31, 2003, no income or loss was
recognized in connection with hedge ineffectiveness in accordance with
SFAS 133. At March 31, 2003, the maximum length of time over which
Alliant Energy hedged its exposure to the variability in future cash flows
for forecasted transactions was 15 months (four months for discontinued
operations) and Alliant Energy estimates that losses of $4.3 million
(including losses of $3.9 million for discontinued operations) will be
reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings
within the twelve months between April 1, 2003 and March 31, 2004 as the
hedged transactions affect earnings.

7. On Jan. 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. Consequently, Alliant Energy discontinued
accounting for its investment in McLeod under the provisions of SFAS 115
and reduced the cost basis of its investments to the last quoted market
price on Jan. 30, 2002. In June 2002, Alliant Energy received from McLeod
under its plan of reorganization an initial distribution of approximately
3.3 million shares of new common stock and classified 0.9 million and 2.4
million shares as trading and available-for-sale securities,
respectively. With the receipt of the new McLeod common shares and the
resumption of trading on Nasdaq, Alliant Energy resumed accounting for its
McLeod investments under SFAS 115 and adjusted its cost basis to the
quoted market price on the date the shares were received. As a result of
these events, Alliant Energy recognized pre-tax impairment charges in 2002
for available-for-sale securities totaling $27.2 million ($21.2 million
recognized in the first quarter of 2002 and $6.0 million recognized in the
second quarter of 2002).
8. Alliant Energy announced in November 2002 its commitment to pursue
the sale of, or other exit strategies for, certain non-regulated
businesses in 2003. Alliant Energy has applied the provisions of SFAS
144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," to
certain of its assets which were held for sale. SFAS 144 requires that a
long-lived asset classified as held for sale be measured at the lower of
its carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell, and to cease
depreciation, depletion and amortization. At Dec. 31, 2002, Alliant
Energy's oil and gas (Whiting), Australian (including Southern Hydro) and
affordable housing businesses were classified as held for sale. In
January 2003, Alliant Energy also decided to sell SmartEnergy and, as a
result, at March 31, 2003, such business has also been classified as held
for sale. Alliant Energy completed the sale of its Australian business in
late April. Alliant Energy previously indicated its intent to complete
the remaining dispositions by year-end. The operating results for these
businesses have been separately classified and reported as discontinued
operations in Alliant Energy's Consolidated Financial Statements. A
summary of the components of discontinued operations in Alliant Energy's
Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31 was
as follows (in thousands):
2003 2002
------------------ ------------------
Operating revenues $66,909 $40,133
Operating expenses 41,987 41,564
Interest expense (income) and other 31,493 (21,651)

Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax ($9,134) $17,534
================== ==================

"Interest expense (income) and other" in the first quarter of 2003
included pre-tax valuation adjustments of approximately $35 million to
reflect updated estimates of the market value, less selling costs, of the
$1 billion of assets classified as assets held for sale. Alliant Energy's
Australian business enters into electricity derivative contracts that have
not been designated as hedges (as defined by SFAS 133) to manage the
electricity commodity price risk associated with anticipated sales into
the spot market. Approximately $15 million and $28 million of pre-tax
income included in "Interest expense (income) and other" in the first
quarters of 2003 and 2002, respectively, in the previous table was related
to the change in the fair value of these electricity derivative
contracts.

9. Alliant Energy is in the process of evaluating the potential impacts of
FIN 46 with respect to its off-balance sheet entities that it utilizes for
its synthetic lease financings and utility accounts receivable sales
program. As of March 31, 2003 and Dec. 31, 2002, Alliant Energy's utility
subsidiaries had sold $227 million ($91 million and $136 million for IP&L
and WP&L, respectively) and $202 million ($86 million and $116 million for
IP&L and WP&L, respectively) of accounts receivables, respectively.
10
10. In accordance with the provisions of FIN 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness to Others," at March 31, 2003 and Dec. 31, 2002, Alliant
Energy had a guarantee outstanding to support an unconsolidated affiliate
and third-party financing arrangement of approximately $4 million that is
not included on Alliant Energy's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The
guarantee expires in December 2007, the maturity date of the underlying
debt. Alliant Energy has also guaranteed the residual value of its
synthetic leases totaling $76 million in the aggregate that is not included
on Alliant Energy's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The guarantees extend
through the maturity of each respective underlying lease, the latest of
which is April 2015.
11. Alliant Energy adopted SFAS 143 on Jan. 1, 2003, which provides
accounting and disclosure requirements for retirement obligations
associated with long-lived assets (AROs). SFAS 143 requires that
when an asset is placed in service the present value of retirement
costs for which Alliant Energy has a legal obligation must be
recorded as liabilities with an equivalent amount added to the asset
cost. The liability is accreted to its present value each period and the
capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related
asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity settles the obligation
for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss.
The scope of SFAS 143 as it relates to Alliant Energy primarily includes
decommissioning costs for DAEC and Kewaunee. It also applies to a smaller
extent to several other regulated and non-regulated assets including, but
not limited to, active ash landfills, water intake facilities, underground
storage tanks, groundwater wells, transmission and distribution equipment,
easements, leases and the dismantlement of certain hydro facilities.
Other than DAEC and Kewaunee, Alliant Energy's current AROs are not
significant.
Alliant Energy recorded the following balance sheet entries in the first
quarter of 2003 related to SFAS 143 (in millions):
Adoption on Accretion and
Jan. 1, 2003 Depreciation Total
-------------- ---------------- -------------
Assets:
Electric plant in service - IP&L $34 $-- $34
Electric plant in service - WP&L 24 -- 24
Utility accumulated depreciation - IP&L 100 -- 100
Utility accumulated depreciation - WP&L 148 -- 148
Other assets - regulatory assets - IP&L 124 5 129
Other assets - regulatory assets - WP&L 3 3 6
-------------
Total assets $441
=============
Liabilities:
AROs - IP&L $258 $5 $263
AROs - WP&L 175 3 178
-------------
Total liabilities $441
=============
As it relates to regulated operations, Alliant Energy believes it is
probable that any differences between expenses under SFAS 143 and expenses
recovered currently in rates will be recoverable in future rates, and is
deferring such expenses as a regulatory asset.
Upon adoption of SFAS 143, Alliant Energy also recognized a $3.9 million
impact as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle at its
oil and gas business (which is reported as an asset held for sale and a
discontinued operation at March 31, 2003).
IP&L and WP&L have previously recognized removal costs as a component of
depreciation expense and accumulated depreciation for other non-nuclear
assets that do not have associated legal retirement obligations with
regulatory rate recovery. As of Jan. 1, 2003, IP&L and WP&L estimate that
they have approximately $275 million and $140 million, respectively, of
such regulatory liabilities recorded in "Accumulated depreciation" on
their Consolidated Balance Sheets.
11
If SFAS 143 had been adopted as of Jan. 1, 2000, IP&L and WP&L would have
recorded ARO SFAS 143 liabilities of $258 million and $175 million at Dec.
31, 2002, $241 million and $161 million at Dec. 31, 2001 and $225 million
and $147 million at Dec. 31, 2000, respectively.
12. Alliant Energy's natural gas trading business, NG Energy, is impacted by
EITF Issue 02-3, which requires that all sales of energy and the related
cost of energy purchased under contracts that meet the definition of
energy trading contracts and that are derivatives under SFAS 133, must be
reflected on a net basis in the income statement for all periods
presented. Under the guidance of EITF Issue 98-10, Alliant Energy had
reported its energy trading contracts and related gas in storage at fair
market value, and reported related revenues and expenses on a gross basis
in the income statement. EITF Issue 02-3 rescinded EITF Issue 98-10 on a
prospective basis. Accordingly, any new contracts entered into after Oct.
25, 2002 have been reported on a historical cost basis rather than at fair
market value unless the contract meets the definition of a derivative
under SFAS 133. Alliant Energy adopted EITF Issue 02-3 on Jan. 1, 2003
for all contracts that were in place and storage gas acquired prior to
Oct. 25, 2002, and reclassified prior period trading contracts on a net
basis in the income statement. The impact of transitioning from reporting
inventory and existing contracts that were not derivatives under SFAS 133
at fair value to historical cost resulted in a cumulative effect charge of
$2.1 million (net of a deferred tax benefit of $1.4 million) in the first
quarter of 2003.
13. In April 2003, Alliant Energy completed the sale of its Australian
assets (including Southern Hydro) to New Zealand-based Meridian Energy
Limited. The sale price was approximately $365 million. This sale
provided for the repayment of approximately $150 million in debt in
Australia. On an after-tax basis, the sale resulted in net cash proceeds
to Alliant Energy of approximately $170 million and provides Alliant
Energy with approximately $320 million available for debt reduction.
14. 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 Alliant Energy subsidiaries are guarantors of Resources'
debt securities. Alliant Energy's condensed consolidating financial
statements are as follows:

INTERSTATE 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 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 GAAP
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 IP&L and its
consolidated subsidiaries. IP&L is a direct subsidiary of Alliant
Energy. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto included in IP&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,
2003 and 2002, (b) the consolidated financial position at March 31, 2003
and Dec. 31, 2002, and (c) the consolidated statement of cash flows for
the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, have been made. Because
of the seasonal nature of IP&L's operations, results for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be
expected for the year ending Dec. 31, 2003. Certain prior period amounts
have been reclassified on a basis consistent with the current period
presentation.
2. For the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, IP&L had no other
comprehensive income, thus IP&L's comprehensive income was equal to its
earnings available for common stock for both periods.
3. Certain financial information relating to IP&L's significant business
segments is presented below. Intersegment revenues were not material
to IP&L's operations.

were not included on IP&L's Consolidated Balance Sheets. IP&L has
guaranteed the residual value of its synthetic leases totaling $6.8
million in the aggregate. The guarantees extend through the maturity of
each respective underlying lease, the latest of which is January 2009.

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 GAAP
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. WP&L is a direct 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 months ended March 31,
2003 and 2002, (b) the consolidated financial position at March 31, 2003
and Dec. 31, 2002, and (c) the consolidated statement of cash flows for
the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, have been made. Because
of the seasonal nature of WP&L's operations, results for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be
expected for the year ending Dec. 31, 2003. Certain prior period amounts
have been reclassified on a basis consistent with the current period
presentation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The primary first tier subsidiaries of Alliant Energy include: IP&L, WP&L,
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, IP&L and WP&L (as well as
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, IP&L's and WP&L's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

disclaims any duty, to update the forward-looking statements in this report.
STRATEGIC ACTIONS
Alliant Energy has taken several steps to implement the plan it outlined in
November 2002 to strengthen its financial profile:
o In April 2003, Alliant Energy completed the sale of its Australian assets
to New Zealand-based Meridian Energy Limited. The sale price was
approximately $365 million. While Alliant Energy is still in the process
of finalizing the calculation of the gain realized on the sale, it
currently estimates it will realize an after-tax gain of approximately
$40 million in the second quarter of 2003 on the sale of its Australian
assets. This sale provided for the repayment of approximately $150 million
in debt in Australia. On an after-tax basis, the sale resulted in
net cash proceeds to Alliant Energy of approximately $170 million
and provides Alliant Energy with approximately $320 million available
for debt reduction. This is the first major step in meeting
Alliant Energy's up to $800 million to $1 billion debt reduction plan to
be completed through the divestiture of certain businesses. The amount of
proceeds ultimately received from these divestitures, and the timing of
the completion of the transactions, are subject to a variety of factors,
including the transaction structures Alliant Energy utilizes to exit these
businesses.
27
o Alliant Energy is making progress on the divestitures of its affordable
housing, oil and gas and SmartEnergy businesses.
o Alliant Energy's plan also includes a $200 to $300 million equity offering
that is expected to be completed in the second half of 2003, dependent on
market conditions. In April 2003, Alliant Energy filed a shelf
registration statement with the SEC covering up to $400 million of
securities for Alliant Energy and Resources. The net proceeds from any
Alliant Energy offerings will be used to make capital contributions to its
domestic utility subsidiaries, which may use these capital contributions
for financing the development and construction of new generation
(including Alliant Energy's Power Iowa initiative) and distribution
facilities, funding additional working capital, financing other capital
expenditures and other general corporate purposes. Alliant Energy may also
use the net proceeds from any offering to repay debt.
o Another component of Alliant Energy's plan is strict cost controls which
includes utilizing a Six Sigma program to identify a host of projects that
will result in more efficient operations. Alliant Energy is in the early
stages of this project.
RATES AND REGULATORY MATTERS
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 Dec. 31, 2002. Set forth
below are several recent developments relating to the regulatory environment.
Alliant Energy's merger-related price freezes expired in April 2002 in all of
its primary domestic utility jurisdictions and it has been addressing the
recovery of its utility cost increases through numerous rate filings. WP&L
has received final orders in three of its rate cases and has two other rate
cases pending. IP&L has received a final order in its electric rate case and
an oral decision in its gas rate case. Details of these rate cases are as
follows (dollars in millions):

----------- ------------ ------------
Total $427 $87 $205
=========== ============ ============
(1) Interim rate relief is implemented, subject to refund, pending
determination of final rates. The final rate relief granted replaces the
amount of interim rate relief granted.
(2) The 2003 request was updated from $101 million as announced earlier to
$123 million primarily due to updated variable fuel costs based on current
market conditions. In its April 2003 final order, the PSCW authorized a
12% return on common equity.
(3) In May 2003, the increase requested was increased from $65 million to $87
million.
(4) WP&L has a rate change moratorium agreement with a wholesale customer
group that will expire in July 2003. The requested rates are expected to
go into effect in July 2003, subject to refund.
(5) The final rate order was received in April 2003 and reflects an 11.15%
return on common equity.
(6) An oral decision was received in April 2003 for a final increase of $13
million; the final order is expected in May 2003. Since the final
increase is lower than the interim relief granted in October 2002, a
refund plan must be filed with the IUB. IP&L is reserving all amounts
related to the anticipated refund.
28
A significant portion of the rate increases included in the previous table
reflect the recovery of increased costs incurred by IP&L and WP&L, or costs
they expect to incur, thus the increase in revenues related to these rate
increases are not expected to result in a corresponding increase in income.
IP&L announced in April 2003 that it will not file for an Iowa electric rate
increase in 2003, based on 2002 test year information, due to the fact that
the case would have been modest and to ensure the case that IP&L expects to
file in 2004 would not be delayed awaiting a decision on a case that would
have been filed in 2003. The case IP&L expects to file in 2004 will include
costs associated with the $400 million 500-MW combined cycle natural gas
plant currently under construction in Iowa. IP&L, WP&L and South Beloit are
currently in the process of determining what other rate case filings may be
made in 2003.
In 2002, IP&L filed with the IRS for a change in method of accounting for tax
purposes for 1987 through 2001 that would allow a current deduction related
to mixed service costs. Such costs had previously been capitalized and
depreciated for tax purposes over the appropriate tax lives. This change
would create a significant current tax benefit which has not been reflected
in IP&L's results of operations pending a decision from the IUB on the
required rate making treatment of the benefit. In its April 2003 order, the
IUB approved IP&L's proposed accounting treatment to defer the tax savings
resulting from the change of accounting method until the IRS audit on this
issue is complete. The rate making impact will be addressed once the issue
is resolved with the IRS which is expected to happen in 2004. There would be
no material negative impact on IP&L's results of operations or financial
position should the IRS reject IP&L's proposal.
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 net income (loss) and EPS
- --------------------------------
for the first quarter were as follows:
2003 2002
----------------------------- --------------------------
Net Income EPS Net Income EPS
Earnings (loss) from continuing operations: ----------------------------- --------------------------
Utility $31.0 $0.34 $27.0 $0.30

Total earnings (loss) from discontinued operations (9.1) (0.10) 17.5 0.20
Cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles (6.0) (0.07) -- --
----------------------------- --------------------------
Net income (loss) ($0.5) ($0.01) $9.7 $0.11
============================= ==========================
The higher utility earnings from continuing operations were largely due to
increased gas and electric margins, which were partially offset by higher
other operating expenses. The significant improvement in non-regulated
results from continuing operations was primarily due to $0.26 per share of
asset valuation charges recorded in the first quarter of 2002. Improvements
in the results of the underlying operations of Alliant Energy's non-regulated
businesses were largely offset by higher interest expense. Alliant Energy
recorded after-tax valuation adjustments of $26 million in the first quarter
of 2003 to reflect updated estimates of the market value, less selling costs,
of the $1 billion of assets it has classified as assets held for sale.

Purchased-power expense 129,315 72,337 79%
----------------------------
Margin $247,850 $239,665 3%
============================
Electric margin increased $8.2 million, or 3%, primarily related to the
impact of various rate increases implemented in 2002 and higher sales volumes
largely due to more favorable weather conditions in the first quarter of 2003
compared to the same period in 2002 as well as continued modest retail
customer growth. Alliant Energy continued to see modest improvements in the
economy in its utility service territories as evidenced by a 2% increase in
electric sales to industrial customers in the first quarter of 2003 compared
to the same period in 2002. These items were partially offset by higher
purchased-power and fuel costs at WP&L.
WP&L does not expect the significant under recovery of purchased-power and
fuel costs it experienced in the first quarter of 2003 to continue throughout
the remainder of 2003, due to new rates effective April 2003. In addition,
under PSCW rules, WP&L can seek emergency rate increases if its annual
purchased-power and fuel costs are more than 3% higher than the estimated
costs used to establish rates. WP&L continues to monitor this issue
closely.
Gas Utility Margins - Gas margins and Dth sales for Alliant Energy for the
- -------------------
three months ended March 31 were as follows (in thousands):

============================
Cost of utility gas sold 188,325 83,756 125%
----------------------------
Margin $69,556 $44,485 56%
============================
Gas revenues and cost of utility gas sold increased significantly due to the
large increase in natural gas prices from the first quarter of 2002. Due to
Alliant Energy's rate recovery mechanisms for gas costs, these increases
alone had little impact on gas margin. Gas margin increased $25.1 million,
or 56%, primarily due to various rate increases, increased sales, which were
largely due to more favorable weather conditions and continued modest retail
customer growth, and improved performance related to WP&L's performance-based
commodity cost recovery program (which are shared by ratepayers and
shareowners).
Refer to "Rates and Regulatory Matters" for discussion of various electric
and gas rate filings.

The increased Integrated Services revenues were primarily due to increased
gas revenues at Alliant Energy's natural gas trading business, NG Energy,
largely due to higher natural gas prices and volumes.

=============== ===============
The utility increase was primarily due to increased fossil and nuclear
generation, energy conservation and employee benefits expenses. A
significant portion of these cost increases are being recovered as a result
of the rate increases implemented in 2002 and 2003. Refer to "Rates and
Regulatory Matters" for additional information. The Integrated Services
increase was largely driven by the same factors impacting the revenue
variance.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $6.3 million primarily due to
increased software amortizations and utility property additions, partially
offset by lower earnings on WP&L's nuclear decommissioning trust fund. 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 for WP&L.
Interest Expense and Other - Interest expense increased $11.0 million
- --------------------------
primarily due to higher average borrowing rates and additional debt
outstanding at Resources and the parent company.
Equity income (loss) from Alliant Energy's unconsolidated investments for the
three months ended March 31 was as follows (in thousands):
2003 2002

Other 170 187
------------- -------------
($4,254) $3,213
============= =============
* Majority of investments are accounted for under the consolidation method.
31
Equity income from unconsolidated investments decreased $7.5 million. The
increased loss for Brazil was primarily due to higher interest expense at
Alliant Energy's Brazilian utility investments. In the second quarter of
2002, Synfuel, a direct subsidiary of Resources, purchased an equity interest
in a synthetic fuel processing facility which generates operating losses at
its fuel processing facility, which are more than offset by tax credits and
the tax benefit of the losses the project generates. All tax benefits are
included in "Income taxes" in Alliant Energy's Consolidated Statements of
Income.
Refer to Note 7 of Alliant Energy's "Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements" for discussion of the asset valuation charge recorded by Alliant
Energy in the first quarter of 2002 related to its McLeod available-for-sale
securities.
Miscellaneous, net income increased $7.2 million due to the recording in the
first quarter of 2002 of pre-tax asset valuation charges for
other-than-temporary declines in value of Alliant Energy's investments in
Enermetrix of $8.5 million and Energy Technologies of $5.0 million. These
charges were partially offset by lower earnings on WP&L's nuclear
decommissioning trust fund.
Income Taxes - The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2003
- ------------
was 30.3% while the effective rate for the same period in 2002 was not
meaningful given the insignificant amount of pre-tax income (loss) from
continuing operations in such period. The first quarter 2003 rate was lower
than the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% largely due to the impact
of tax credits, which was partially offset by the impact of state taxes.
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations - The 2003 decrease of $26.7
- ------------------------------------------
million in income from discontinued operations was largely due to the
recording of after-tax valuation adjustments of $26.1 million to reflect
updated estimates of the market value, less selling costs, of the $1 billion
of assets classified as assets held for sale. Lower non-cash SFAS 133 income
related to the valuation of electricity derivatives at Southern Hydro was
offset by the impact of discontinuing depreciation, depletion and
amortization of Alliant Energy's assets held for sale in 2003 and higher oil
and gas prices at Whiting. Refer to Note 8 of Alliant Energy's "Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements" for further discussion of Alliant Energy's
discontinued operations.
Cumulative Effect of Changes in Accounting Principles - In the first quarter
- -----------------------------------------------------
of 2003, Alliant Energy recorded after-tax charges of $4 million and $2
million for the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles related
to the adoption on Jan. 1, 2003 of SFAS 143 and EITF Issue 02-3 within its
oil and gas and Integrated Services businesses, respectively. The oil and
gas business has been classified as held for sale as of Dec. 31, 2002 and
March 31, 2003. Refer to Notes 11 and 12 of Alliant Energy's "Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements" for further information.
IP&L RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview - First Quarter Results - Earnings available for common stock
- --------------------------------
increased $9.6 million, primarily due to higher electric and gas margins and
a lower effective income tax rate, partially offset by increased other
operating expenses and preferred dividend requirements.

Electric Utility Margins - Electric margins and MWh sales for IP&L for the
- ------------------------
three months ended March 31 were as follows (in thousands):
Revenues and Costs MWhs Sold

Purchased-power expense 45,056 28,159 60%
---------------------------
Margin $157,627 $142,352 11%
===========================
Electric margin increased $15.3 million, or 11%, primarily due to higher
sales volumes, largely due to more favorable weather conditions in the first
quarter of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002 as well as continued
modest retail customer growth, and the impact of the interim retail rate
increase effective July 2002.
Gas Utility Margins - 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
---------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
2003 2002 Change 2003 2002 Change

============================
Cost of gas sold 91,771 46,360 98%
----------------------------
Margin $34,906 $25,382 38%
============================
Gas revenues and cost of gas sold increased significantly due to the large
increase in natural gas prices from the first quarter of 2002. Such
increases alone had no impact on IP&L's gas margin given its rate recovery
mechanism for gas costs. Gas margin increased $9.5 million, or 38%,
primarily due to the impact of the interim retail rate increase effective
October 2002 and increased sales largely due to more favorable weather
conditions.
Refer to "Rates and Regulatory Matters" for discussion of IP&L's electric and
gas rate filings.
Other Operating Expenses - Other operation and maintenance expenses increased
- ------------------------
$3.9 million, primarily due to increased administrative and general and
fossil generation expenses, partially offset by decreased energy delivery
expenses.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $4.2 million, primarily due
to increased amortization of software and the impact of continued property
additions.
Income Taxes - The effective income tax rates were 39.2% and 44.7% for the
- ------------
first quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease was primarily due
to an increase in the Alliant Energy tax benefit allocated to IP&L pursuant
to the provisions of PUHCA and decreases in property-related temporary
differences for which deferred taxes were not provided pursuant to rate
making principles.
33
Preferred Dividend Requirements - Preferred dividend requirements increased
- -------------------------------
$2.5 million due to an increase in the principal amount of preferred stock
outstanding and a higher dividend rate.
WP&L RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview - First Quarter Results - Earnings available for common stock
- --------------------------------
decreased $5.6 million, primarily due to increased operation and maintenance
expenses and decreased electric margins, partially offset by higher gas
margins and a lower effective income tax rate.
Electric Utility Margins - Electric margins and MWh sales for WP&L for the
- ------------------------
three months ended March 31 were as follows (in thousands):

=========================
Electric production fuels expense 38,214 30,269 26%
Purchased-power expense 84,259 44,177 91%
----------------------------
Margin $90,223 $97,313 (7%)
============================
Electric margin decreased $7.1 million, or 7%, primarily due to higher
purchased-power and fuel costs, partially offset by the implementation of
rate increases in 2002 and higher sales volumes largely due to more favorable
weather conditions in the first quarter of 2003 compared to the same period
in 2002 as well as continued modest retail customer growth. WP&L continued
to see improvements in the economy as evidenced by a 4% increase in sales to
industrial customers in the first quarter of 2003 compared to the same period
in 2002.
WP&L does not expect the significant under recovery of purchased-power and
fuel costs it experienced in the first quarter of 2003 to continue throughout
the remainder of 2003, due to new rates effective April 2003. In addition,
under PSCW rules, WP&L can seek emergency rate increases if its annual
purchased-power and fuel costs are more than 3% higher than the estimated
costs used to establish rates. WP&L continues to monitor this issue
closely.
Gas Utility Margins - Gas margins and Dth sales for WP&L for the three months
- -------------------
ended March 31 were as follows (in thousands):
Revenues and Costs Dths Sold
--------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
2003 2002 Change 2003 2002 Change
--------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
Residential $70,734 $32,726 116% 6,498 5,481 19%

=========================
Cost of gas sold 96,554 37,396 158%
-----------------------------
Margin $34,650 $19,103 81%
=============================
Gas revenues and cost of gas sold increased significantly due to the large
increase in natural gas prices from the first quarter of 2002. Due to WP&L's
rate recovery mechanism for gas costs, these increases alone had little
impact on gas margin. Gas margin increased $15.5 million, or 81%, primarily
34
due to the implementation of a rate increase in 2002, increased sales, which
were largely due to more favorable weather conditions and continued modest
retail customer growth, and improved results from WP&L's performance-based
commodity cost recovery program.
Refer to "Rates and Regulatory Matters" for discussion of WP&L's electric and
gas rate filings.
Other Operating Expenses - Other operation and maintenance expenses increased
- ------------------------
$14.6 million, primarily due to higher fossil and nuclear generation, energy
conservation and employee benefits expenses. A significant portion of these
cost increases are being recovered as a result of the rate increases
implemented in 2002.
Depreciation and amortization expense remained virtually unchanged due to
higher software amortizations, offset by decreased earnings on the nuclear
decommissioning trust fund. The accounting for earnings on the nuclear
decommissioning trust fund results in no net income impact. Interest income
increases for earnings on the trust fund and the corresponding offset is
recorded through depreciation expense.
Interest Expense and Other - Interest income decreased $4.7 million due to
- --------------------------
decreased earnings on the nuclear decommissioning trust fund.
Income Taxes - The effective income tax rates were 27.3% and 37.4% for the
- ------------
first quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease was primarily due
to an increase in the Alliant Energy tax benefit allocated to WP&L pursuant
to the provisions of PUHCA.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flows for the Three-Month Periods - Selected information from Alliant
- --------------------------------------
Energy's, IP&L's and WP&L's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the
three months ended March 31 was as follows (dollars in thousands):
Alliant Energy IP&L WP&L
----------------------- ----------------------- -----------------------
2003 2002 2003 2002 2003 2002
Cash flows from (used for): ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- -----------
Operating activities $166,643 $145,973 $129,876 $75,969 $56,452 $90,857
Financing activities 130,637 (8,986) 54,918 (30,154) (28,849) (47,639)
Investing activities (294,404) (157,280) (189,293) (45,820) (35,106) (43,218)
Alliant Energy's cash flows from financing activities increased $140 million
primarily due to net changes in the amount of debt issued and retired and
lower common stock dividends due to the dividend reduction implemented in the
first quarter of 2003; cash flows used for investing activities increased
$137 million primarily due to the 2003 acquisition by Resources of a natural
gas-fired power plant in Wisconsin. IP&L's cash flows from operating
activities increased $54 million primarily due to changes in working capital;
cash flows from financing activities increased $85 million primarily due to
net changes in the amount of short-term debt issued and retired; and cash
flows used for investing activities increased $143 million primarily due to
increased construction and acquisition expenditures associated with the
construction of the natural gas plant currently under construction in Iowa as
part of its Power Iowa program. WP&L's cash flows from operating activities
decreased $34 million primarily due to changes in working capital.
Common Equity - In November 2002, Alliant Energy announced its intentions to
- -------------
raise approximately $200 million to $300 million of common equity in 2003,
dependent on market conditions. The PSCW has indicated it will require an
additional equity infusion of $200 million by Alliant Energy into WP&L by
July 2003. The final PSCW order issued in April 2003 includes a customer
refund provision if the timing and/or amount of the equity infusion differs
from the assumptions included in the WP&L rate case.
Debt - Alliant Energy and its subsidiaries are party to various credit
- ----
facilities and other borrowing arrangements. The aggregate borrowing
capacity under short-term credit agreements of Alliant Energy and its
subsidiaries at March 31, 2003 was $845 million. At March 31, 2003, the
total amount borrowed under these facilities was $402 million leaving unused
capacity of $443 million. In addition, Resources had a $250 million standby
credit facility at March 31, 2003. Borrowing capacity under this facility
was reduced by approximately $170 million due to proceeds realized in April
2003 from Alliant Energy's sale of its Australian assets. There are no
35
borrowings currently outstanding under such facility. Alliant Energy also
had $27 million of short-term borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2003
related to various generation projects in China. Alliant Energy's, IP&L's
and WP&L's credit facility agreements contain various covenants, including
the following:
Covenant Description Covenant Requirement Status at March 31, 2003
- ------------------------------------------ ------------------------- ----------------------------
Alliant Energy:
Consolidated debt-to-capital ratio * Less than 65% 60.8%
Consolidated net worth * At least $1.4 billion $1.8 billion
EBITDA interest coverage ratio * At least 2.5x 3.5x
IP&L debt-to-capital ratio Less than 58% 50.0%
WP&L debt-to-capital ratio Less than 58% 40.9%
* In compliance with the agreements, results of discontinued operations have
been included in the covenant calculations.
Alliant Energy is also subject to a PUHCA requirement whereby Alliant
Energy's common equity balance must be at least 30% of its total consolidated
capitalization, including short-term debt. Alliant Energy's common equity
ratio as of March 31, 2003, as computed under such requirement, was 35.2%.
Information regarding commercial paper and bank facility borrowings at March
31, 2003 was as follows (dollars in millions):
Alliant Energy (Parent) IP&L WP&L
------------------------ ------------------- ------------------
Commercial paper outstanding $35.0 $75.5 $56.5
Weighted average maturity
of commercial paper 1 day 5 days 15 days
Discount rates on commercial paper 2.0% 1.45-1.60% 1.36-1.50%
Bank facility borrowings $235.0 -- --
Interest rates on bank facility borrowings 4.56-5.00% -- --
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements - A summary of Alliant Energy's off-balance
- ------------------------------
sheet arrangements is included in the Form 10-K filed by Alliant Energy, IP&L
and WP&L for the year ended Dec. 31, 2002. Alliant Energy's off-balance
sheet arrangements have not changed materially from those reported in the
2002 Form 10-K.
Environmental - A summary of Alliant Energy's environmental matters is
- -------------
included in the Form 10-K filed by Alliant Energy, IP&L and WP&L for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2002. Alliant Energy's environmental matters have not changed
materially from those reported in the 2002 Form 10-K.
Construction and Acquisition Expenditures - In February 2003, Resources
- -----------------------------------------
announced the purchase of a 309-MW, non-regulated, natural gas-fired power
plant in Wisconsin for $109 million, which Resources financed with a $73
million 8-year secured credit facility ($60 million of borrowings were
outstanding at March 31, 2003), which is non-recourse to Alliant Energy. The
entire power output of the facility is sold under contract to Milwaukee-based
We Energies through June 2008.
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 Dec. 31, 2002. Alliant
Energy's market risks have not changed materially from those reported in the
2002 Form 10-K, except as described below.
36
Currency Risk - Alliant Energy has investments in various countries where the
net investments are not hedged, including Brazil, China and New Zealand. As
a result, these investments are subject to currency exchange risk with
fluctuations in currency exchange rates. At March 31, 2003, Alliant Energy
had a cumulative foreign currency translation loss, net of any tax benefits
realized, of $136 million, which related to decreases in value of the Brazil
real of $135 million and New Zealand dollar of $6 million and an increase in
the value of the Australian dollar of $5 million, all in relation to the U.S.
dollar. This loss is recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" on
Alliant Energy's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Based on Alliant Energy's
investments at March 31, 2003, a 10% sustained increase/decrease over the
next 12 months in the foreign exchange rates of Brazil, China and New Zealand
would result in a corresponding increase/decrease in the cumulative foreign
currency translation loss of $48 million. Alliant Energy's equity income
(loss) from its foreign investments is also impacted by fluctuations in
currency exchange rates. In addition, Alliant Energy has currency exchange
risk associated with the debt issued to finance a thermal plant constructed
by Alliant Energy and its Brazilian partners. For the three months ended
March 31, 2003, Alliant Energy recorded pre-tax income of $0.5 million
related to its share of the foreign currency transaction gains/losses on such
debt. Based on the loan balance and currency rates at March 31, 2003, a 10%
change in the currency rates would result in a $2.8 million pre-tax
increase/decrease in net income.
Accounting Pronouncements - In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 149,
- -------------------------
"Amendment of SFAS 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,"
which amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging
activities under SFAS 133. The amendments set forth in SFAS 149 improve
financial reporting by requiring that contracts with comparable
characteristics be accounted for similarly. SFAS 149 clarifies under what
circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the
characteristic of a derivative as discussed in SFAS 133 and when a derivative
contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the
statement of cash flows, as well as amending certain other existing
pronouncements. Those changes will result in more consistent reporting of
contracts that are derivatives in their entirety or that contain embedded
derivatives that warrant separate accounting. SFAS 149 is effective for
contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except for certain
implementation issues and certain provisions of forward purchase and sale
contracts and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003.
Alliant Energy is in the process of evaluating the potential impacts of SFAS
149.
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 Dec. 31, 2002. Alliant Energy's critical
accounting policies have not changed materially from those reported in the
2002 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:
IP&L appealed to the Iowa State Board of Tax Review, an agency of the State
of Iowa, regarding assessments of Iowa property tax made by the Director of
the Iowa Department of Revenue and Finance. The appeals involved assessments
for the years 1994 through 1998 and sought reduction of the assessments
reflecting the true value of the operating property of the companies. In
April 2003, IP&L settled this matter with the Iowa Department of Revenue and
Finance. IP&L will receive a refund of $9 million for prior taxes paid. The
refund will be realized by future credits to property taxes resulting in
pre-tax reductions in property tax expense of $4.5 million, $3.0 million and
$1.5 million in 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. In addition, IP&L's
property tax liability on a going forward basis will be reduced by
approximately $2.1 million annually, also beginning in September 2003.
Alliant Energy holds unconsolidated investments in certain Brazilian electric
utility companies. The Brazilian utilities are negotiating with creditors to
restructure and convert up to $180 million (of which approximately $50 million
is due in June 2003), as converted from local currency to U.S. dollars, of
short-term and long-term debt currently outstanding into new long-term
debentures and other longer term debt. In April 2003, Standard and Poor's
issued a rating on the debentures of 'brBBB+' with a negative outlook.
Following completion of the negotiations, the proposed refinancing would be
subject to approval by the shareowners of the Brazilian utilities which is
expected in the near term. The refinancing is also subject to other approvals
in the ordinary course and final closing that are currently expected to be
complete in June 2003. If the refinancing is not completed as anticipated and
the Brazilian utilities are unable to extend or repay certain obligations
outstanding, then the liquidity position of the Brazilian utilities may be
37
significantly adversely affected. In such an event, Alliant Energy is not
required to invest any additional capital in Brazil but it could lead to
material asset valuation charges as relates to Alliant Energy's investments in
its Brazilian utilities.
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."
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Within 90 days prior to the date of filing this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q, Alliant Energy, IP&L and WP&L carried out evaluations, under the
supervision and with the participation of their management, including their
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Disclosure Committee, of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of Alliant Energy's, IP&L's and
WP&L's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on those evaluations, the
Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that
Alliant Energy's, IP&L's and WP&L's disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of the date of such evaluation.
There have been no significant changes in Alliant Energy's, IP&L's and WP&L's
internal controls, or in other factors that could significantly affect
internal controls, subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any
corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Alliant Energy
On April 17, 2003, a purported class action shareowner lawsuit was filed
against Alliant Energy, Erroll B. Davis, Jr., Thomas M. Walker and John E.
Kratchmer in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin as
Case No. 03-C-0191. Substantially similar cases were filed in the same court
on April 29, 2003 as Case No. 03-C-218-S and on May 14, 2003 as Case No. 03-C-
242. Alliant Energy expects that these cases and any additional similar cases
will be consolidated into one action. The actions were allegedly brought on
behalf of purchasers of Alliant Energy securities from Jan. 29, 2002 through
July 18, 2002. The complaints allege that the defendants made false and
misleading statements relating to Alliant Energy's expected performance
of its various non-regulated businesses. Alliant Energy believes these actions
are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously, but cannot predict the
outcome at this time.
IP&L
IP&L appealed to the Iowa State Board of Tax Review, an agency of the State
of Iowa, regarding assessments of Iowa property tax made by the Director of
the Iowa Department of Revenue and Finance. The appeals involved assessments
for the years 1994 through 1998 and sought reduction of the assessments
reflecting the true value of the operating property of the companies. In
April 2003, IP&L settled this matter with the Iowa Department of Revenue and
Finance. IP&L will receive a refund of $9 million for prior taxes paid. The
refund will be realized by future credits to property taxes resulting in
pre-tax reductions in property tax expense of $4.5 million, $3.0 million and
$1.5 million in 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. In addition, IP&L's
property tax liability on a going forward basis will be reduced by
approximately $2.1 million annually, also beginning in September 2003.
