ALLIANT ENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) General - The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Alliant Energy Corporation (Alliant Energy), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.) of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements include Alliant Energy and its consolidated subsidiaries (including Interstate Power and Light Company (IPL), Wisconsin Power and Light Company (WPL), Alliant Energy Resources, Inc. (Resources) and Alliant Energy Corporate Services, Inc. (Corporate Services)). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in Alliant Energys, IPLs and WPLs latest combined Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which unless otherwise noted are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the condensed consolidated financial position at June 30, 2006 and Dec. 31, 2005, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 have been made. Because of the seasonal nature of Alliant Energys utility operations, results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending Dec. 31, 2006. A change in managements estimates or assumptions could have a material impact on Alliant Energys financial condition and results of operations during the period in which such change occurred. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified on a basis consistent with the current period presentation. Most reclassifications relate to the reporting of discontinued operations and assets and liabilities held for sale pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144). Unless otherwise noted, the notes herein have been revised to exclude discontinued operations and assets and liabilities held for sale for all periods presented.
(b) Regulatory Assets and Liabilities -
Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) Sale - In January 2006, IPL completed the sale of its 70% ownership interest in DAEC and recognized a gain based on the terms of the sale agreement. Pursuant to the Iowa Utilities Board (IUB) order approving the sale, the gain resulting from the sale was used to establish a regulatory liability. The regulatory liability is subject to change pending regulatory review. The regulatory liability will be used to offset allowance for funds used during construction for future investments in new generation sited in Iowa and accretes interest at the monthly average U.S. Treasury rate for three-year maturities. At June 30, 2006, the regulatory liability related to the gain on the sale, including accrued interest, was $64.1 million and is reflected in Other long-term liabilities and deferred credits - regulatory liabilities on Alliant Energys and IPLs Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. IPL also recognized changes in certain tax-related regulatory assets due to the tax impacts of the DAEC sale, which resulted in a $30.0 million reduction in Other assets - regulatory assets on Alliant Energys and IPLs Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets during the first half of 2006. Refer to Notes 3, 5(a) and 12 for additional information regarding the DAEC sale.
Fuel Cost Recovery - In 2005, WPL filed for a fuel-related rate increase of $96 million with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) and an interim increase of such amount was granted and effective in the fourth quarter of 2005. Fuel-related costs decreased during the first half of 2006 and are currently projected to be lower than the cost estimates used to set interim rates. These decreases in fuel-related costs may result in final rates granted being lower than interim rates, which would require WPL to refund a portion of the interim rates collected. At June 30, 2006, WPL had recorded a reserve for rate refund and associated interest, based on interim rates collected to date, of $37.5 million, which is reflected as a liability in Current liabilities - regulatory liabilities on Alliant Energys and WPLs Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant (Kewaunee) Decommissioning Trust Assets - In April 2006, WPL received approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to refund the wholesale portion of the Kewaunee-related non-qualified decommissioning trust assets to WPLs wholesale customers. In May 2006, WPL liquidated its remaining nuclear decommissioning trust funds and refunded $21.5 million to its wholesale customers, resulting in a decrease in Investments - other and Current liabilities - regulatory liabilities on Alliant Energys and WPLs Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
6
Coal Delivery Disruptions - WPL received approval from the PSCW to defer, beginning Aug. 3, 2005, incremental purchased power energy costs associated with coal conservation efforts at WPL due to coal delivery disruptions. At June 30, 2006 and Dec. 31, 2005, the retail portion of these incremental costs was $20.8 million and $12.3 million, respectively, which is reflected in Other assets - regulatory assets on Alliant Energys and WPLs Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Derivatives - Refer to Note 8(a) for information regarding changes in IPLs and WPLs regulatory assets and liabilities during the first half of 2006 due to changes in the fair value of their derivative instruments.
(c) Common Shares Outstanding - A reconciliation of the weighted average common shares outstanding used in the basic and diluted earnings per average common share (EPS) calculation for the three and six months ended June 30 was as follows (in thousands):

As a result of Alliant Energy incurring a loss from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2005, 347,225 of potential incremental common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for that period because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, the following options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS as the exercise prices were greater than the average market price for the three and six months ended June 30:

(d) Property, Plant and Equipment - Effective Jan. 1, 2006, IPL implemented new depreciation rates as a result of a recently completed depreciation study. IPLs average rates of depreciation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were 2.8% and 2.7%, respectively, for electric properties and 2.9% and 2.8%, respectively, for gas properties. IPLs average rates of depreciation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 were 3.5% for both periods for electric properties and 2.6% for both periods for gas properties.

(f) New Accounting Pronouncements - In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Alliant Energy is required to adopt FIN 48 on Jan. 1, 2007 and is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 on its financial condition and results of operations.

(3) INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes for earnings from continuing operations is based on an estimated annual effective tax rate that excludes the impact of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items, discontinued operations or extraordinary items. The effective tax rate typically differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% principally due to state income taxes, the impact of foreign income and associated tax, tax credits, effects of utility ratemaking and certain non-deductible expenses. In addition, the provision for income taxes for earnings from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 included $7 million of income tax benefits recorded in the first quarter of 2006 related to the sale of IPLs interest in DAEC. These income tax benefits included the recognition of the unamortized balance of deferred investment tax credits and the reversal of excess deferred taxes related to DAEC property, plant and equipment. Pursuant to the IUB order approving the DAEC sale, these income tax benefits were excluded from the regulatory liability established upon the sale. Refer to Notes 1(b), 5(a) and 12 for further discussion of the DAEC sale. The provision for income taxes for earnings from continuing operations recorded in the second quarter of 2005 included the reversal of approximately $8 million of deferred tax asset valuation allowances originally recorded in 2004 related to a change in Alliant Energys anticipated ability to utilize certain capital losses prior to their expiration.
In the first half of 2006, Alliant Energy reclassified $112 million of deferred tax assets from Other long-term liabilities and deferred credits - deferred income taxes to Current assets - deferred income taxes. The deferred tax assets included in Current assets - deferred income taxes represent the amount of deferred tax benefits from tax carryforwards related to capital losses and net operating losses that Alliant Energy anticipates will be utilized within the next 12 months.

(4) SALES OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
In April 2006, IPL extended its utility customer accounts receivable sale program agreement through October 2006 and increased the maximum amount of receivables it can sell under the agreement from $125 million to $200 million. At June 30, 2006 and Dec. 31, 2005, IPL had sold $120 million and $100 million of utility customer accounts receivable, respectively.

The impacts of the DAEC curtailment and settlement for the six-month periods in the above table resulted from FPL Energy Duane Arnold, LLC (FPL Energy) assuming certain DAEC employee pension and other postretirement benefit obligations and certain pension assets transferred to FPL Energy in connection with the DAEC sale in January 2006. The DAEC curtailment loss (gain) represents the unrecognized prior service cost attributable to DAEC employees who transferred to FPL Energy. The net DAEC settlement gain of $9.5 million represents accumulated benefit obligations of $29.5 million attributable to the transferred DAEC employees less pension assets transferred at closing of $13.2 million and recognition of settlement losses of $6.8 million relating to previously unrecognized actuarial losses and transition assets. The impacts of the DAEC curtailment and settlement were included as a component of the regulatory liability recorded with the DAEC sale and did not have an impact on Alliant Energys or IPLs results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. Refer to Notes 1(b), 3 and 12 for further discussion of the DAEC sale.
As result of the DAEC sale and certain amendments to Alliant Energys cash balance plan in the first quarter of 2006, Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL remeasured the assets and liabilities of certain of their qualified pension plans utilizing a 5.75% discount rate to calculate benefit obligations and their future net periodic pension costs. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL utilized a 5.5% discount rate on their previous measurement date of Sep. 30, 2005. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL did not modify any other key assumptions upon the remeasurements. The remeasurements of the qualified pension plans in the first quarter of 2006 resulted in the following decreases to certain amounts included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

Alliant Energy estimates that funding for the pension and other postretirement benefits plans for 2006 will be approximately $80 million and $11 million, of which $78 million and $6 million, respectively, has been contributed through June 30, 2006.

(b) Equity Incentive Plans - On Jan. 1, 2006, Alliant Energy adopted SFAS 123(R), which requires share-based payments to employees to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Alliant Energy used the modified prospective transition method for the adoption, which resulted in no changes to Alliant Energys financial statements for prior periods. The impacts of adoption did not have a material impact on Alliant Energys financial condition or results of operations. The impact to Alliant Energy in periods subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) will largely be dependent upon the nature of any new share-based compensation awards issued to employees and the achievement of certain performance and market conditions related to such awards.
Alliant Energy has an Amended and Restated 2002 Equity Incentive Plan (EIP) that permits the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units to key employees. At June 30, 2006, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and performance shares were outstanding under the EIP and a predecessor plan under which new awards can no longer be granted. At June 30, 2006, approximately 3.2 million shares remained available for grants under the EIP. Alliant Energy satisfies payouts related to equity awards under the EIP through the issuance of new shares of its common stock.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, Alliant Energy recognized $3.3 million and $8.5 million of share-based compensation expense related to grants under the EIP and $1.3 million and $3.2 million of related income tax benefits, respectively. As of June 30, 2006, total unrecognized compensation cost related to all share-based compensation awards was $9.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of two years. Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods.
Performance Shares - Performance share payouts to key employees are contingent upon achievement over three-year periods of specified goals, which currently include metrics of total shareowner return relative to an investor-owned utility peer group. Nonvested performance share payouts are prorated at retirement based on time worked during the performance period and results of the performance criteria. Participants nonvested performance shares are forfeited if the participant voluntarily leaves Alliant Energy for reasons other than retirement. Performance shares can be paid out in shares of Alliant Energys common stock, cash or a combination of cash and stock and are modified by a performance multiplier, which ranges from zero to two based on the performance criteria. Alliant Energy anticipates all future payouts to be in the form of cash; therefore, performance shares were accounted for as liability awards at June 30, 2006. A summary of the performance shares activity for the six months ended June 30 was as follows:

At June 30, 2006, fair values of nonvested performance shares were calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the anticipated total shareowner returns of Alliant Energy and its investor-owned utility peer group. Expected volatility was based on historical volatilities using daily stock prices over the past three years. Expected dividend yields were calculated based on the most recent quarterly dividend payments prior to the measurement date and stock prices at the measurement date. The risk-free interest rate is based on the three-year U.S. Treasury rate in effect as of the measurement date.
In the first quarter of 2006, Alliant Energy paid out $6.5 million in a combination of cash and stock related to the performance shares granted in 2003. Alliant Energy did not make any payments related to performance shares during 2005.

Restricted Stock - Restricted stock issued under the EIP consists of time-based and performance-contingent restricted stock.
Time-based restricted stock - Restriction periods vary for each issuance of time-based restricted stock and currently range from three to five years. Nonvested shares of time-based restricted stock generally become vested upon retirement, except for certain shares that were awarded for retention purposes that are forfeited upon retirement. Compensation costs related to awards granted to retirement-eligible employees are generally expensed on the date of grant. Participants nonvested time-based restricted stock is forfeited if the participant voluntarily leaves Alliant Energy for reasons other than retirement. The fair value of time-based restricted stock is based on the average market price at the grant date.

Performance-contingent restricted stock - Payouts of performance-contingent restricted stock grants are based on the achievement of certain performance targets (currently specified EPS growth). If performance targets are not met within the performance period, which currently ranges from two to four years, these restricted stock grants are forfeited. Nonvested shares of performance-contingent restricted stock are prorated at retirement based on time worked during the performance period and vest only if and when the performance criteria are met. Participants nonvested performance-contingent restricted stock is forfeited if the participant voluntarily leaves Alliant Energy for reasons other than retirement. The fair value of performance-contingent restricted stock is based on the average market price at the grant date.

Non-qualified Stock Options - Options granted to date under the plans were granted at the market price of the shares on the date of grant, vest over three years and expire no later than 10 years after the grant date. Options become fully vested upon retirement and remain exercisable at any time prior to their expiration date or for three years after the effective date of the retirement, whichever period is shorter. Options become fully vested upon death or disability and remain exercisable at any time prior to their expiration date or for one year after the effective date of the death or disability, whichever period is shorter. Participants options that are not vested become forfeited if participants leave Alliant Energy and their vested options expire after three months. Alliant Energy has not granted any options since 2004. The fair value of stock options on the date of grant was based on the Black-Scholes pricing model.

Prior Year Pro Forma Expense - Prior to Jan. 1, 2006, Alliant Energy accounted for awards issued under its stock-based incentive compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). Pursuant to APB 25, no stock-based compensation cost was reflected in net loss in Alliant Energys Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for stock options because all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. If Alliant Energy had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to awards issued under these plans prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the effect on net loss and EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 would have been as follows (dollars in millions):

Brazil - In January 2006, Alliant Energy completed the sale of all of its Brazil investments and received net proceeds of $150 million (after transaction costs), which it used for debt reduction at Resources. Upon completion of the sale, Alliant Energy removed from its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet the carrying amount of various assets and liabilities related to the sale, including $79 million of Brazil investments from Investments in unconsolidated foreign entities, $13 million of non-refundable deposits received by Alliant Energy as a result of an arbitration dispute from Current liabilities - other and $89 million of pre-tax foreign currency translation losses directly associated with its Brazil investments from Accumulated other comprehensive loss. At the date of the sale, the carrying value of these assets and liabilities exceeded the net proceeds by $4.8 million, resulting in a pre-tax loss on the sale recorded in Interest income and other in Alliant Energys Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income in the first quarter of 2006.
Alliant Energy recorded a pre-tax, non-cash valuation charge of $96 million (after-tax charge of $56 million, or $0.48 per share) during the second quarter of 2005 as a result of a decline in the fair value of its Brazil investments that was determined to be other than temporary.

IPL and WPL have entered into several purchase contracts to supply fixed-price natural gas for its natural gas-fired electric generating facilities. Significant decreases in natural gas prices during the first half of 2006 have changed the fair value of these contracts and resulted in decreases in derivative assets and increases in derivative liabilities. As a result of changes in the fair value of these contracts, the counterparties to these contracts have required IPL and WPL to provide $15 million and $8 million of cash collateral, respectively, which are recorded in Other accounts receivable on the respective Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In May 2006, Alliant Energy entered into a foreign exchange collar to mitigate a portion of the exchange rate risk associated with its New Zealand investments. The foreign exchange collar has a notional amount of $175 million New Zealand dollars and expires in December 2006.
(b) Weather Derivatives - In the second quarter of 2006, Corporate Services, as agent for IPL and WPL, entered into separate non-exchange traded electric weather derivative agreements based on cooling degree days (CDD) to reduce the impact of weather volatility on IPLs and WPLs electric margins for the period June 1, 2006 to Aug. 31, 2006. IPL and WPL combined will receive/pay up to $9 million ($6.1 million for IPL and $2.9 million for WPL) from/to the counterparty at the end of the contract term if actual CDD are less/greater than the CDD specified in the contracts. The actual CDD in June 2006 were lower than those specified in the contract, resulting in IPL and WPL accruing receivables from the counterparty under the agreements of $2.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2006.
In 2005, Corporate Services, as agent for IPL and WPL, and WPL on behalf of itself, entered into a combination of put options and swap agreements based on heating degree days (HDD) to reduce the impact of weather volatility on IPLs and WPLs margins for the period Nov. 1, 2005 to March 31, 2006. The actual HDD during this period were lower than those specified in the contracts resulting in Alliant Energy receiving $7.0 million ($3.8 million for IPL and $3.2 million for WPL) of payments from the counterparty by April 2006.

(9) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) Purchase Obligations - Alliant Energy, through its subsidiaries Corporate Services, IPL and WPL, has entered into purchased power, coal, and natural gas supply, transportation and storage contracts for its utility business. As of June 30, 2006, minimum future commitments related to Alliant Energys utility business for purchased power (excluding operating leases), coal and natural gas were $2.2 billion, $367 million and $250 million, respectively. Refer to Note 12 for details on a long-term purchased power agreement entered into upon IPLs sale of its interest in DAEC in January 2006, the amount of which is included in the purchased power commitments.
(b) Guarantees and Indemnifications - Alliant Energy provided indemnifications associated with various sales of its non-regulated and utility businesses/assets for losses resulting from potential breach of the representations and warranties made by Alliant Energy on the sale dates and for the breach of its obligations under the sale agreements. Alliant Energy believes the likelihood of having to make any material cash payments under these indemnifications is remote. Alliant Energy has not recorded any material liabilities related to these indemnifications as of June 30, 2006. The terms of the indemnifications provided by Alliant Energy at June 30, 2006 for the various sales were as follows (in millions):

WPL also issued an indemnity to the buyer of Kewaunee to cover certain potential costs the buyer may incur related to the unplanned outage at Kewaunee in 2005. At June 30, 2006, WPL had a $6 million obligation recognized related to this indemnity which represents WPLs maximum exposure.
Alliant Energy also continues to guarantee the abandonment obligations of Whiting Petroleum Corporation under the Point Arguello partnership agreements. As of June 30, 2006, the guarantee does not include a maximum limit, but is currently estimated at $6 million, which is the present value of the abandonment liability. Alliant Energy believes no payments will be made under this guarantee.
(c) Costs Related to the Midwest Independent System Operator (MISO) Wholesale Energy Market - In the second quarter of 2006, FERC issued an order which would require MISO to re-allocate revenue sufficiency guarantee (RSG) costs to participants who entered into virtual supply transactions within the MISO market since the implementation of the MISO market on April 1, 2005. Alliant Energy and its subsidiaries do not participate in virtual supply transactions within MISO and, thus, it does not expect to be allocated additional RSG costs under this order. However, Alliant Energy may be entitled to receive a refund of a portion of its previously paid RSG costs into the MISO market under this order. A rehearing of the issue at FERC is expected in the second half of 2006. Due to the uncertainty of the ultimate resolution of this issue, Alliant Energy is currently unable to determine what, if any, impacts this issue will have on its financial condition and results of operation.

(10) SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS
Certain financial information relating to Alliant Energys business segments is as follows (Intl = International). Gas revenues included $3 million and $20 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $8 million and $25 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, for sales to the electric segment. All other intersegment revenues were not material to Alliant Energys operations. At Dec. 31, 2005, IPL had $459 million of assets that were included within the DAEC sale agreement which were removed from total assets of the Utility Business - Electric segment upon the sale of IPLs interest in DAEC in January 2006. Refer to Notes 1(b), 3, 5(a) and 12 for further discussion of the DAEC sale.

(a) |
In the second quarter of 2006, Alliant Energy recorded a $7.2 million pre-tax gain related to the sale of its gas gathering pipeline systems. Alliant Energy recorded pre-tax losses of $7.5 million (energy services business-$6.1 million and the biomass facility-$1.4 million) in the first half of 2005 related to the sale of various non-regulated businesses. |
(b) |
In the first quarter of 2006, Alliant Energy recorded a pre-tax, non-cash valuation charge of $26.0 million as a result of declines in the fair value of its Mexico business. The fair value was estimated using updated market information from bid information received from several potential buyers for the Mexico business. |
(c) |
In the second quarter of 2006, Alliant Energy recorded pre-tax valuation charges of $4.9 million to reflect updated estimates of the market value, less selling costs, of its remaining China generating facilities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, Alliant Energy recorded pre-tax, non-cash valuation charges of $90.1 million and $101.7 million (both include $10.9 million related to goodwill), respectively, net of allocation to minority interest, as a result of declines in the fair value of several of its China generating facilities primarily due to the impacts of increased coal and transportation costs and updated market information, including terms of recent sales of similar assets. The fair values in 2005 were estimated using a combination of expected discounted future cash flows and market value indicators. |

(d) |
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 87-24, Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations, Alliant Energy has allocated interest expense to its China and Mexico businesses based on the amount of debt incurred by Resources that was specifically attributable to the operations and capital requirements of these respective businesses. The amount of interest expense allocated to its China business was $0.5 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, and $3.0 million and $6.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. The amount of interest expense allocated to its Mexico business was $1.0 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, and $1.4 million and $2.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. |
(e) |
The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2005 included the reversal of deferred tax asset valuation allowances related to the China business valuation charges recorded in the first quarter of 2005. Based on additional information that became available in the second quarter of 2005, Alliant Energy believed it would generate sufficient capital gains in the future to utilize the tax benefits of these capital losses prior to their expiration resulting in the reversal of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. |

(12) SALE OF IPLS INTEREST IN DAEC
In January 2006, IPL completed the sale of its 70% ownership interest in DAEC to FPL Energy. Under the sale agreement, FPL Energy purchased IPLs interest in the nuclear generating facility and related inventories (nuclear fuel and materials and supplies) and assumed various liabilities of IPL in exchange for net proceeds to IPL of $331 million. Such proceeds were net of purchase price adjustments, cash payments made at closing to FPL Energy and certain transaction-related costs. IPL used $130 million of the net proceeds to reduce its short-term debt, $125 million to reduce its level of accounts receivable sales and the remainder for investments in short-term securities and general corporate purposes. In January 2006, IPL retired its capital lease obligation, including interest through the closing date, covering its 70% undivided interest in nuclear fuel for DAEC for $40 million. In March 2006, IPL used the investments in short-term securities, along with other funds, to pay a dividend of $110 million to Alliant Energy pursuant to the IUB order approving the DAEC sale.
The cash payments made by IPL to FPL Energy at closing were in connection with FPL Energys assumption of decommissioning, employee benefit and certain other liabilities related to DAEC. The sales proceeds and related cash payments are subject to various post-closing adjustments, which have been estimated and included in IPLs financial statements as of June 30, 2006. The post-closing adjustments were settled in the third quarter of 2006, resulting in no material impact on IPL's financial statements. In addition to the proceeds received by IPL, other Alliant Energy subsidiaries received $7 million in proceeds from FPL Energy related to other property purchased by FPL Energy and reimbursement for Alliant Energys forfeiture of its membership interest in the Nuclear Management Company upon the sale of DAEC.
IPL previously established two decommissioning funds to cover the eventual decommissioning of DAEC. Upon closing of the sale, FPL Energy assumed responsibility for the eventual decommissioning of the facility and received the equivalent of $203 million of nuclear decommissioning trust assets, which included the qualified and non-qualified decommissioning trust fund assets of IPL valued at $188 million at the closing date, and a cash payment. On the closing date, the value of the decommissioning funds and the cash payments made exceeded the $203 million in decommissioning trust assets required to be transferred to FPL Energy by $8 million. The $8 million of excess decommissioning trust assets were retained by IPL and were included as a component of the regulatory liability related to the sale as discussed below.
Pursuant to the IUB order approving the sale, the gain resulting from IPLs portion of the sale served as the basis to establish a regulatory liability of approximately $64 million. Refer to Notes 1(b), 3 and 5(a) for additional discussion of the DAEC sale.

IPLs assets and liabilities related to the DAEC sale agreement had been classified as held for sale on Alliant Energys and IPLs Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of Dec. 31, 2005.
Upon closing of the sale, IPL entered into a long-term purchased power agreement with FPL Energy to buy energy and capacity from DAEC. The purchased power agreement extends through February 2014, concurrent with expiration of DAECs current operating license. As of June 30, 2006, IPLs future minimum payments, assuming a 90% capacity factor, related to this agreement are estimated at $76 million from July through December 2006, $156 million for 2007, $157 million for 2008, $167 million for 2009, $171 million for 2010 and $595 million for 2011 through 2014.

(14) VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
After making an ongoing exhaustive effort, Alliant Energy concluded it was unable to obtain the information necessary from the counterparties (subsidiaries of Calpine Corporation (Calpine)) to the Riverside Energy Center (Riverside) and RockGen Energy Center (RockGen) purchased power agreements to determine whether the counterparties are variable interest entities per FIN 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and if Alliant Energy is the primary beneficiary. These agreements are currently accounted for as operating leases. The counterparties sell some or all of their generating capacity to WPL and can sell their energy output to WPL. Alliant Energys maximum exposure to loss from these agreements is undeterminable due to the inability to obtain the necessary information to complete such evaluation. Alliant Energys (primarily WPLs) costs, excluding fuel costs, related to the Riverside agreement were $18.3 million and $25.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, and $20.9 million and $28.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. WPLs costs, excluding fuel costs, related to the RockGen agreement were $3.9 million and $7.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and $3.7 million and $10.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively.

INTERSTATE POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Except as modified below, the Alliant Energy Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are incorporated by reference insofar as they relate to IPL. The notes that follow herein are numbered to be consistent with the Alliant Energy Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) General - The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by IPL, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, certain information and note 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 condensed consolidated financial statements include IPL and its consolidated subsidiaries. IPL 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 IPLs latest combined Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which unless otherwise noted are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the condensed consolidated financial position at June 30, 2006 and Dec. 31, 2005, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 have been made. Because of the seasonal nature of IPLs operations, results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending Dec. 31, 2006. A change in managements estimates or assumptions could have a material impact on IPLs financial condition and results of operations during the period in which such change occurred. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified on a basis consistent with the current period presentation.
(2) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Included in pension benefits for non-bargaining IPL employees participating in other plans for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were a net settlement gain of ($3.8) million and a curtailment loss of $0.1 million related to the sale of DAEC. These items were included as components of the regulatory liability recorded with the DAEC sale and did not have an impact on IPLs results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Refer to Notes 1(b), 3 and 12 of Alliant Energys Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the DAEC sale.
IPL estimates that funding for the qualified pension plans for its bargaining unit employees and other postretirement benefits plans for 2006 will be approximately $15 million and $5 million, of which $15 million and $3 million, respectively, has been contributed through June 30, 2006.

WISCONSIN POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Except as modified below, the Alliant Energy Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are incorporated by reference insofar as they relate to WPL. The notes that follow herein are numbered to be consistent with the Alliant Energy Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) General - The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by WPL, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, certain information and note 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 condensed consolidated financial statements include WPL and its consolidated subsidiaries. WPL 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 WPLs latest combined Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which unless otherwise noted are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the condensed consolidated financial position at June 30, 2006 and Dec. 31, 2005, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 have been made. Because of the seasonal nature of WPLs operations, results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending Dec. 31, 2006. A change in managements estimates or assumptions could have a material impact on WPLs financial condition and results of operations during the period in which such change occurred. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified on a basis consistent with the current period presentation.

(9) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) Purchase Obligations - As of June 30, 2006, WPLs minimum commitments for purchased power (excluding operating leases), coal and natural gas supply, transportation and storage contracts were $658 million, $63 million and $183 million, respectively. In addition, system-wide purchased power contracts of $174 million and coal contracts of $217 million have not yet been directly assigned to IPL and WPL since the specific needs of each utility are not yet known.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Description of Business - Alliant Energy is an investor-owned public utility holding company whose first tier subsidiaries include IPL, WPL, Resources and Corporate Services. IPL is a public utility engaged principally in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electric energy; and the purchase, distribution, transportation and sale of natural gas in selective markets in Iowa and Minnesota, as well as the utility operations of Illinois properties that Alliant Energy is divesting. WPL is a public utility engaged principally in the generation, distribution and sale of electric energy; and the purchase, distribution, transportation and sale of natural gas in selective markets in Wisconsin, as well as the utility operations of Illinois properties that Alliant Energy is divesting. Resources manages a portfolio of wholly-owned subsidiaries and additional investments through distinct platforms: Non-regulated Generation (generation projects); International (foreign energy delivery, generation and infrastructure systems in New Zealand, as well as the remaining generating facilities in China that Alliant Energy is divesting); and other non-regulated investments (includes investments in environmental engineering and site remediation, transportation, construction management services for wind farms and several other modest investments, as well as a resort development in Mexico that Alliant Energy is divesting). Corporate Services provides administrative services to Alliant Energy and its subsidiaries.

The higher earnings from Alliant Energys utility business were largely due to the impact of electric rate increases, improved recoveries of its fuel-related expenses and continued customer growth in its electric service territory. The improved results from continuing operations for Alliant Energys non-regulated businesses were largely due to a pre-tax, non-cash asset valuation charge of $96 million (after-tax charge of $56 million, or $0.48 per share) recorded in the second quarter of 2005 related to Alliant Energys Brazil investments, which Alliant Energy sold in the first quarter of 2006. This item was partially offset by the impact of various income tax adjustments and non-operational items at Alliant Energys Brazil investments in the second quarter of 2005. Refer to Alliant Energy Results of Operations, IPL Results of Operations and WPL Results of Operations for additional details regarding the various factors impacting the respective earnings/losses during the second quarter of 2006 and 2005.
STRATEGIC OVERVIEW
A summary of Alliant Energys strategic overview information is included in the combined Form 10-K filed by Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL for the year ended Dec. 31, 2005 and has not changed materially from the items reported in the 2005 Form 10-K, except as described below.
Utility Generation Plan - In April 2006, WPL announced new details of its generation plan for 2006 to 2013. The plan provides for WPL to increase the size of its future base-load electric generating facility to 300 megawatts (MW) in order to achieve maximum economies of scale with the chosen technology. The facility will be located at one of two proposed sites in Wisconsin and is expected to begin commercial operation in 2012. As a result of additional planning and analysis, the cost estimates for the facility have increased from those available earlier in 2006 primarily due to escalations in construction labor and material costs. Alliant Energy continues its cost analysis and anticipates having an updated cost estimate for the facility by the end of the third quarter of 2006. Alliant Energy will also be re-evaluating the cost estimates for the clean-coal technology generation it currently anticipates adding at IPL in 2013 or 2014 and additional wind generation currently planned at WPL and IPL.
The plan currently provides for WPL to add an additional 200 MW of wind generation by 2009 (for a total of 300 MW of additional wind generation at WPL). The additional wind generation is anticipated to be sufficient enough to allow WPL to meet the future renewable portfolio standards for Wisconsin utilities enacted in March 2006. IPLs current plan includes an additional 100 MW of wind generation by 2008. Refer to Rates and Regulatory Matters for additional information regarding the new Wisconsin law.
In July 2006, WPL purchased the development rights to an 80 to 100 MW wind farm project located in Wisconsin. In August 2006, WPL plans to file for approval from the PSCW to construct the wind farm and expects a decision from the PSCW in early 2007 with construction to begin in the spring of 2007. Pending regulatory approval and availability of wind turbines, WPL currently anticipates the wind farm will be in service in late 2007 or early 2008. The 80 to 100 MW will be part of the total of 300 MW of additional wind generation discussed above.
42
Alliant Energy currently has a purchased power agreement in place with a Calpine subsidiary for the purchase of energy and capacity from 466 MW RockGen, a simple cycle gas peaking unit, in Christiana, Wisconsin to help meet its capacity needs from 2007 through 2009. For contingency planning purposes, Alliant Energy has requested proposals for WPLs summer peaking power supply needs for the years 2007 through 2009 if RockGen becomes unavailable as a result of the Calpine bankruptcy proceeding. In addition, Alliant Energy has also requested longer-term proposals for either a purchased power agreement or the purchase of a facility to meet the peaking power supply needs of IPL and WPL beginning in 2008. Alliant Energy has received responses from interested parties, but is awaiting additional clarity and action from the Calpine bankruptcy proceedings and FERC prior to taking any action regarding the responses.
Non-regulated Business Divestitures - Marketing efforts for the sale of Alliant Energys investment in Mexico have resulted in the receipt of several bids from potential buyers in April 2006. Alliant Energy is currently negotiating a sales agreement with the preferred bidder and expects to complete the divestiture of its investment in Mexico no later than September 2006. In February 2006, Alliant Energy completed the sale of its interest in three additional generating facilities in China and received net proceeds of approximately $73 million. In April 2006, Alliant Energy received the final installment payment of the $4 million purchase price for one additional generating facility in China. Alliant Energy is in the process of divesting its interest in its three remaining facilities in China and expects to complete these divestitures in the third quarter of 2006. In April 2006, Alliant Energy also completed the sale of its two gas gathering pipeline systems and received net proceeds of approximately $23 million. At June 30, 2006, the carrying value of Alliant Energys remaining investments in Mexico and China was approximately $70 million in total. In addition to the divestitures discussed above, Alliant Energy continues to review its options for monetizing its New Zealand investments.
Utility Business Divestitures - In July 2006, WPL completed the sale of its water utility in South Beloit, Illinois and received net proceeds of approximately $4 million.
RATES AND REGULATORY MATTERS
A summary of Alliant Energys rates and regulatory matters is included in the combined Form 10-K filed by Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL for the year ended Dec. 31, 2005 and has not changed materially from the items reported in the 2005 Form 10-K, except as described below.

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 2005/2006 retail rate case is based on a test period from July 2005 to June 2006. |
(3) |
The amount of increase requested assumes no changes to interim fuel-related rates granted in December 2005. If the rate increase amount granted in the final order is different than the interim fuel-related rates, WPL anticipates the difference will result in changes to the initial rate increase amount requested for its 2007 retail rate case. |
(4) |
Fuel-related costs have decreased since interim rates were placed in effect, which could lead to final rates granted being lower than interim rates and a resulting customer refund of a portion of the interim rates collected. At June 30, 2006, WPL had recorded a $37.5 million reserve for rate refund and associated interest, based on interim rates collected to date. |
(5) |
In April 2006, FERC issued the final written order approving the $8 million annual rate increase included in WPLs settlement agreement with its wholesale customers. Final rates were applied to all service rendered on and after Jan. 1, 2005. Amounts collected in excess of the final rates were refunded to customers in June 2006. |
(6) |
Amounts collected in excess of the final rates will be refunded to customers in the third quarter of 2006, with interest, and have been fully reserved at June 30, 2006. |
With the exception of recovering a return on Emery, which was a large component of IPLs 2004 retail Iowa electric rate case, and on other additions to IPLs and WPLs infrastructure, a significant portion of the rate increases included in the above table reflect the recovery of increased costs incurred or expected to be incurred by IPL and WPL. The major drivers in WPLs base rate and fuel-related rate cases for 2005 to 2007 are both fixed and variable fuel and purchased power costs. Thus, the potential increase in revenues related to these rate increase requests is not expected to result in a significant increase in net income.
Recent Regulatory-related Legislative Developments - In March 2006, a new law governing renewable energy and energy efficiency was enacted in Wisconsin that commits Wisconsin utilities to a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) using a benchmark of average retail sales of renewable electricity in 2001, 2002 and 2003. Utilities must increase renewable retail electric sales as a percentage of total retail electric sales by 2% above the benchmark by 2010, and by 6% above the benchmark by 2015. Utilities may meet the renewable energy requirements of the RPS with renewable energy generated by the utility or renewable energy acquired under purchased power agreements. In addition, the new law requires Wisconsin utilities to allocate 1.2% of annual operating revenues to a statewide energy efficiency and renewable resource fund to be jointly administered by public utilities beginning in 2007. Refer to Strategic Overview - Utility Generation Plan for discussion of recent changes to WPLs generation plan which will help WPL meet the new RPS.
Other Recent Regulatory Developments -
Sale of Water Utility in South Beloit, Illinois - In June 2006, WPL received approval from the Illinois Commerce Commission to sell its South Beloit water utility operations which sale was completed in July 2006. Refer to Strategic Overview - Utility Business Divestitures for additional details of the sale.
Kewaunee Decommissioning Trust Assets - Refer to Note 1(b) of Alliant Energys Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of FERCs approval for WPL to refund the wholesale portion of the Kewaunee-related non-qualified decommissioning trust assets to WPLs wholesale customers in the second quarter of 2006.
DAEC Sale - Refer to Notes 1(b) and 12 of Alliant Energys Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of regulatory impacts of the gain realized from the sale of IPLs interest in DAEC in January 2006.
MISO - In June 2006, the PSCW provided further clarification of which incremental costs incurred by WPL to participate in the MISO market are eligible to be deferred until WPLs next base rate case with the PSCW. In May 2006, the IUB issued an order extending a temporary waiver until June 30, 2007. This waiver allows the costs and credits incurred by IPL to participate in the MISO market that relate to its Iowa retail customers to be included in IPLs Iowa energy adjustment clause. IPL and WPL are currently working through the regulatory process to establish long-term recovery mechanisms for these costs.
Refer to Note 9(c) of Alliant Energys Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of a FERC order issued in the second quarter of 2006 which may impact Alliant Energys costs related to MISO.

Electric revenues and fuel and purchased power energy costs were higher for the six-month period compared to the same period last year primarily due to increased commodity prices during the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. Due to IPLs rate recovery mechanisms for fuel and purchased power energy costs and WPLs recent fuel-related interim rate increase, these price increases alone had little impact on electric margins. Electric margins decreased $19.8 million, or 7%, and $38.5 million, or 7%, for the three- and six-month periods, respectively, primarily due to higher purchased power capacity costs. The six-month decrease was also due to the negative impact high electric prices in the first quarter of 2006 had on customer usage during that period. These decreases were partially offset by the impact of rate increases implemented in 2005, the net impacts of weather conditions and continued retail customer growth in Alliant Energys service territory. The comparison was also positively impacted by an under-recovery of fuel and purchased power costs by WPL during the second quarter and first half of 2005, including incremental purchased power costs resulting from an unplanned outage at Kewaunee and the impact of coal supply constraints from the Powder River Basin. The impact of the rate increases implemented in 2005 was partially offset by a reserve for rate refund of $19 million and $36 million recorded in the second quarter and first half of 2006, respectively, related to WPLs pending fuel-related rate case as a result of a decrease in fuel-related costs since interim rates were placed in effect in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Alliant Energy sold its interests in its two nuclear facilities, Kewaunee and DAEC, in July 2005 and January 2006, respectively. Prior to the sale of these facilities, the operating expenses related to the facilities consisted primarily of other operation and maintenance and depreciation and amortization expenses. Upon the sale of the facilities, Alliant Energy entered into purchased power agreements with the new owners of the facilities and its share of the costs associated with these facilities is now recorded as purchased power expense. As a result, there are large nuclear-related variances between periods for these income statement line items, which are somewhat offsetting in nature and also do not capture other benefits from the sales including, among others, the impact of the application of the sales proceeds. During the second quarter and first half of 2006, Alliant Energy incurred $48 million ($31 million at IPL and $17 million at WPL) and $90 million ($56 million at IPL and $34 million at WPL), respectively, of capacity costs related to the DAEC and Kewaunee purchased power agreements.
The increases (decreases) to Alliant Energys electric margins from the net impacts of weather for the three- and six-months ended June 30 were as follows (in millions):

Sales for resale revenues decreased $14.9 million and $12.3 million during the three- and six-month periods, respectively, primarily due to lower sales in the restructured wholesale energy market operated by MISO and decreases in wholesale customer sales due to milder weather conditions. These lower sales for resale revenues did not have a significant impact on electric margins.

Gas revenues and cost of gas sold were higher during the six-month period of 2006 compared to the same period last year primarily due to increased natural gas prices during the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. Due to Alliant Energys rate recovery mechanisms for gas costs, these price differences alone had little impact on gas margins. Gas margins increased $8.9 million, or 9%, for the six-month period primarily due to rate increases implemented in 2005, the net impacts of weather conditions, $2 million of improved results from WPLs performance-based gas commodity cost recovery program (benefits are shared by ratepayers and shareowners) and continued retail customer growth in Alliant Energys service territory. These increases were partially offset by the negative impact high gas prices in the first quarter of 2006 had on customer usage during that period and the impact on margins from lower transportation/other sales. Transportation/other sales decreased primarily due to lower demand from natural gas-fired electric generating facilities due to milder weather conditions.

The decreased Environmental engineering and site remediation revenues for the three- and six-month periods were primarily due to the impact of revenues recognized from a large construction management project in the first and second quarters of 2005. The increased Other revenues for the six-month period were primarily due to a $4 million pre-tax gain in the first quarter of 2006 resulting from land sold by Resources to FPL Energy as part of the DAEC sale in January 2006.
Other Operating Expenses - Other operation and maintenance expenses for the utilities decreased $21.5 million and $46.0 million for the three- and six-month periods, respectively, primarily due to the impact of the sale of Alliant Energys nuclear facilities as discussed in Utility Electric Margins. In the second quarter and first half of 2005, Alliant Energy incurred approximately $25 million ($13 million at IPL and $12 million at WPL) and $52 million ($29 million at IPL and $23 million at WPL), respectively, of other operation and maintenance expenses related to the nuclear facilities. IPL also incurred $4 million of employee separation expenses in the second quarter of 2005 related to the elimination of certain corporate and operations support positions. These decreases were partially offset by higher incentive-related compensation expenses resulting from improved performance in 2006 against the earnings and total shareowner return metrics established within the plans. The six-month decrease was also due to lower transmission and distribution expenses, partially offset by higher fossil-fuel generation expenses.

The decreases in Environmental engineering and site remediation expenses for both periods were largely driven by the same factors impacting the revenue variances discussed above. The decreases in International expenses for both periods were due to litigation-related expenses incurred in the second quarter of 2005 related to Alliant Energys defense of its shareholder rights in its Brazil investments.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $16.7 million and $29.8 million during the three- and six-month periods, respectively, primarily due to lower nuclear depreciation of $11 million and $20 million, respectively, as a result of the DAEC and Kewaunee sales and the implementation of new depreciation rates at IPL effective Jan. 1, 2006. The new depreciation rates at IPL decreased depreciation expense for the three- and six-month periods by approximately $5 million and $10 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by the impact of property additions.
Taxes other than income taxes increased $3.8 million and $4.2 million during the three- and six-month periods, respectively, primarily due to increased property taxes at IPL.
Interest Expense and Other - Interest expense decreased $9.5 million and $13.8 million during the three-and six-month periods primarily due to Resources retirement of senior notes in 2006 and 2005 and the use of proceeds from the sales of Alliant Energys nuclear facilities to retire debt at IPL and WPL. These decreases were partially offset by $1 million and $3 million of capitalized interest in the second quarter and first half of 2005, respectively, related to the construction of the Sheboygan Falls Energy Facility (SFEF) and interest expense from the issuance of debt by Sheboygan Power LLC and Resources wholly-owned New Zealand subsidiary in 2005. The comparison was also impacted by interest expense accrued in 2006 on regulatory liabilities at IPL related to the gain on the sale of DAEC and at WPL related to the reserve for rate refund associated with its pending fuel-related rate case. Refer to Note 6(b) of Alliant Energys Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on Resources debt retirements and the associated losses incurred on the early extinguishment of debt during the first quarters of 2006 and 2005.

Refer to Note 7 of Alliant Energys Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a breakdown of Alliant Energys equity income from unconsolidated investments and a discussion of the sales of Alliant Energys investments in Brazil and its synthetic fuel processing facility in the first quarter of 2006 and fourth quarter of 2005, respectively. The equity earnings from Alliant Energys Brazil investments in the second quarter of 2005 included the impact of several non-operational items including a gain of $4 million (representing Alliant Energys allocated portion of the total gain) realized from the sale of six small hydroelectric plants and foreign currency transaction gains of $2 million.
Alliant Energy recorded a pre-tax, non-cash valuation charge of $96 million (after-tax charge of $56 million, or $0.48 per share) during the second quarter of 2005 as a result of a decline in the fair value of its Brazil investments that was determined to be other than temporary.
Interest income and other increased $4.4 million for the six-month period primarily due to foreign currency transaction gains of $14 million in the first half of 2006 related to the impact of changes in New Zealand currency rates and higher interest income earned on proceeds from recent asset sales. This increase was partially offset by lower interest income on loans to discontinued operations and a $5 million loss realized on the sale of Alliant Energys Brazil investments in the first quarter of 2006. Refer to Note 1(e) of Alliant Energys Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Income Taxes - The effective income tax rates for Alliant Energys continuing operations were 39.2% and 32.8% for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 were 86.3% and (134.2%), respectively, which are not meaningful given the impact of Alliant Energys non-cash valuation charge related to its Brazil investments in the second quarter of 2005. Excluding the impacts of the Brazil charge, the effective income tax rates were 22.0% and 22.5% for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005. The higher effective income tax rates were primarily due to the impact of reversing approximately $8 million of deferred tax asset valuation allowances in the second quarter of 2005 related to a change in Alliant Energys anticipated ability to utilize capital losses prior to their expiration and a reduction in tax credits in 2006 due to the sale of Alliant Energys synthetic fuel processing facility in the fourth quarter of 2005. These increases were partially offset by the impact of property-related temporary differences for which deferred tax expense is not recorded pursuant to Iowa ratemaking principles and increased manufacturing production deductions. The increase for the six-month period was also partially offset by $7 million of tax benefits recorded in the first quarter of 2006 related to IPLs sale of its interest in DAEC.
Loss from Discontinued Operations - Refer to Note 11 of Alliant Energys Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of Alliant Energys discontinued operations.
IPL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview - Second Quarter Results - Earnings available for common stock increased $5.0 million primarily due to lower operating expenses and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by lower electric margins.

Electric revenues and fuel and purchased power energy costs were higher for the six-month period compared to the same period last year primarily due to increased commodity prices during the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. Due to IPLs rate recovery mechanisms for fuel and purchased power energy costs, these price increases alone had little impact on electric margins. Electric margins decreased $17.5 million, or 9%, and $37.5 million, or 10%, for the three- and six-month periods, respectively, primarily due to higher purchased power capacity costs. Refer to Alliant Energy Results of Operations - Utility Electric Margins for discussion of the impact the sale of DAEC had on IPLs electric margins and operating expenses. The six-month decrease was also due to the negative impact high electric prices in the first quarter of 2006 had on customer usage during that period. These decreases were partially offset by the net impacts of weather conditions, higher energy conservation revenues and continued retail customer growth in IPLs service territory. The higher energy conservation revenues were largely offset by higher energy conservation expenses.
The increases (decreases) to IPLs electric margins from the net impacts of weather for the three- and six-months ended June 30 were as follows (in millions):

Sales for resale revenues decreased $7.2 million and $5.8 million during the three- and six-month periods, respectively, primarily due to lower sales in the restructured wholesale energy market operated by MISO. These lower sales for resale revenues did not have a significant impact on electric margins.

Gas revenues and cost of gas sold were higher during the six-month period of 2006 compared to the same period last year primarily due to increased natural gas prices during the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. Due to IPLs rate recovery mechanisms for gas costs, these price differences alone had little impact on gas margins. Gas margins increased $5.9 million, or 12%, for the six-month period primarily due to the impacts of rate increases implemented in 2005, continued retail customer growth in IPLs service territory and the net impacts of weather conditions. These increases were partially offset by the negative impact high gas prices in the first quarter of 2006 had on customer usage during that period.

Refer to Alliant Energy Results of Operations - Utility Gas Margins for IPLs heating degree day data and Rates and Regulatory Matters for discussion of IPLs electric and gas rate filings.
Other Operating Expenses - Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased $12.8 million and $25.1 million for the three- and six-month periods, respectively, primarily due to the impact of the sale of IPLs nuclear facility as discussed in Alliant Energy Results of Operations - Utility Electric Margins. In the second quarter and first half of 2005, IPL incurred approximately $13 million and $29 million, respectively, of other operation and maintenance expenses related to DAEC. IPL also incurred $4 million of employee separation expenses in the second quarter of 2005 related to the elimination of certain corporate and operations support positions. These decreases were partially offset by higher incentive-related compensation expenses resulting from improved performance in 2006 against the earnings and total shareowner return metrics established within the plans and higher energy conservation and fossil-fuel generation expenses.
51
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $13.6 million and $23.8 million during the three- and six-month periods, respectively, primarily due to lower nuclear depreciation of $9 million and $15 million, respectively, as a result of the DAEC sale in January 2006 and the implementation of new depreciation rates at IPL effective Jan. 1, 2006. The new depreciation rates decreased depreciation expense for the three- and six-month periods by approximately $5 million and $10 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by the impact of property additions.
Taxes other than income taxes increased $2.4 million and $2.5 million during the three- and six-month periods, respectively, primarily due to increased property taxes.
Interest Expense and Other - Interest expense decreased $0.2 million during both the three- and six-month periods primarily due to the use of proceeds from the DAEC sale in the first quarter of 2006 to retire short-term debt. This decrease was substantially offset by interest expense accrued in 2006 on IPLs regulatory liability related to the gain on the DAEC sale.
Income Taxes - The effective income tax rates were 34.9% and 27.8% for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to 40.9% and 40.5% for the same periods last year. The decreases for both periods were primarily due to changes in the impact of property-related temporary differences for which deferred tax expense is not recorded pursuant to Iowa ratemaking principles and increased manufacturing production deductions. The decrease for the six-month period was also impacted by $7 million of tax benefits recorded in the first quarter of 2006 related to IPLs sale of its interest in DAEC.
WPL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview - Second Quarter Results - WPLs earnings available for common stock increased $2.3 million primarily due to lower operating expenses, partially offset by higher interest expense and lower electric margins.

Electric revenues and fuel and purchased power energy costs were higher for the six-month period compared to the same period last year primarily due to increased commodity prices during the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. Due to WPLs recent fuel-related interim rate increase, these price increases alone had little impact on electric margins. Electric margins decreased $2.3 million, or 2%, and $1.0 million, for the three-and six month periods, respectively, primarily due to higher purchased power capacity costs. Refer to Alliant Energy Results of Operations - Utility Electric Margins for discussion of the impact the sale of Kewaunee had on WPLs electric margins and operating expenses. The six-month decrease was also due to the negative impact high electric prices in the first quarter of 2006 had on customer usage during that period. These decreases were partially offset by the impacts of rate increases implemented in 2005 and continued retail customer growth in WPLs service territory. The comparison was also positively impacted by an under-recovery of fuel and purchased power energy costs by WPL during the second quarter and first half of 2005, including incremental purchased power costs resulting from an unplanned outage at Kewaunee and the impact of coal supply constraints from the Powder River Basin. The impact of the rate increases implemented in 2005 was partially offset by a reserve for rate refund of $19 million and $36 million recorded in the second quarter and first half of 2006, respectively, related to WPLs pending fuel-related rate case as a result of a decrease in fuel-related costs since interim rates were placed in effect in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Sales for resale revenues decreased $7.7 million and $6.5 million during the three- and six-month periods, respectively, primarily due to lower sales in the restructured wholesale energy market operated by MISO and decreases in wholesale customer sales due to milder weather conditions. The lower sales for resale revenues did not have a significant impact on electric margins.

Gas margins increased $3.0 million, or 6%, for the six-month period primarily due to $2 million of improved results from WPLs performance-based gas commodity cost recovery program (benefits are shared by ratepayers and shareowners), the net impacts of weather conditions and continued retail customer growth in WPLs service territory. These increases were partially offset by the negative impact high gas prices in the first quarter of 2006 had on customer usage during that period and the impact on margins from lower transportation/other sales. Transportation/other sales decreased for the three- and six-month periods primarily due to lower demand from natural gas-fired electric generating facilities due to milder weather conditions.
The increases (decreases) to WPLs gas margins from the net impacts of weather for the three- and six-months ended June 30 were as follows (in millions):

Refer to Alliant Energy Results of Operations - Utility Gas Margins for WPLs heating degree day data and Rates and Regulatory Matters for discussion of WPLs electric and gas rate filings.
Other Operating Expenses - Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased $8.7 million and $20.8 million for the three- and six-month periods, respectively, primarily due to the impact of the sale of WPLs nuclear facility as discussed in Alliant Energy Results of Operations - Utility Electric Margins. In the second quarter and first half of 2005, WPL incurred approximately $12 million and $23 million, respectively, of other operation and maintenance expenses related to Kewaunee. These decreases were partially offset by higher incentive-related compensation expenses resulting from improved performance in 2006 against the earnings and total shareowner return metrics established within the plans. The six-month decrease was also due to lower transmission and distribution expenses.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1.0 million and $1.5 million during the three- and six-month periods, respectively, primarily due to lower nuclear depreciation of $2 million and $5 million, respectively, as a result of the Kewaunee sale, partially offset by property additions including SFEF.
Interest Expense and Other - Interest expense increased $2.5 million and $5.8 million for the three- and six-month periods, respectively, primarily due to affiliated interest expense associated with the SFEF capital lease WPL entered into in the second quarter of 2005 and interest expense accrued in 2006 on the regulatory liability related to the reserve for rate refund associated with WPLs pending fuel-related rate case. These increases were partially offset by lower average borrowings primarily due to the use of proceeds from the Kewaunee sale in the third quarter of 2005 to retire debt.
Income Taxes - The effective income tax rates were 39.3% and 38.1% for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared with 37.1% and 37.5% for the same periods last year. These increases were primarily due to the impact of the federal research and development tax credit expiring on Dec. 31, 2005.

Cash Flows From Continuing Operating Activities -
Historical Changes in Cash Flows From Continuing Operating Activities - Alliant Energys cash flows from operating activities decreased $146 million primarily due to higher pension plan contributions, higher income tax payments and changes in working capital caused largely by the timing of vendor payments and changes in the level of accounts receivable sales. These decreases were partially offset by the impact of fuel-related rate recoveries at WPL. IPLs cash flows from operating activities decreased $106 million primarily due to higher pension plan contributions, higher income tax payments and changes in the level of accounts receivable sales. WPLs cash flows from operating activities were flat as changes in working capital caused largely by the timing of vendor payments were offset by the impact of fuel-related rate recoveries.
Sale of Accounts Receivable - Refer to Note 4 of Alliant Energys Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of recent changes to IPLs sale of accounts receivable program.
Cash Flows From (Used For) Continuing Investing Activities -
Historical Changes in Cash Flows From (Used For) Continuing Investing Activities - Alliant Energys cash flows from investing activities increased $671 million primarily due to higher proceeds received from asset sales and lower construction expenditures. IPLs cash flows from investing activities increased $415 million primarily due to proceeds from the sale of its interest in DAEC and lower construction expenditures. WPLs cash flows used for investing activities decreased $19 million primarily due to lower construction expenditures.
Construction and Acquisition Expenditures - Alliant Energy currently anticipates construction and acquisition expenditures for 2006 of $450 million reflecting a $25 million decrease in estimates provided earlier in 2006 primarily due to lower expenditures for new generating facilities in 2006.
Proceeds from Asset Sales - In the first half of 2006, Alliant Energys asset divesture activities included IPLs sale of its interest in DAEC and Alliant Energys sale of its Brazil investments, four generating facilities in China and two gas gathering pipeline systems. Proceeds from asset divestitures have been used primarily for debt reduction and general corporate purposes. Alliant Energy expects to use proceeds from anticipated divestitures of non-regulated businesses to help fund its stock repurchase program discussed in more detail in Common Stock Repurchase Program.
Cash Flows Used For Continuing Financing Activities -
Historical Changes in Cash Flows Used For Continuing Financing Activities - Alliant Energys cash flows used for financing activities increased $628 million primarily due to changes in the amount of debt issued and retired, including increased debt repayment premiums, and IPLs retirement of a capital lease obligation. IPLs cash flows used for financing activities increased $311 million primarily due to changes in the amount of short-term debt issued and retired, higher common stock dividends and the retirement of a capital lease obligation. Such variances were largely due to IPLs sale of its interest in DAEC, including the application of the proceeds. WPLs cash flows used for financing activities increased $20 million primarily due to changes in the amount of debt issued and retired.
55
State Regulatory Agency Financing Authorizations - In April 2006, WPLs PSCW authorization for short-term borrowings declined from $250 million to $195 million upon completion of the refinancing of its variable rate demand bonds. In July 2006, the PSCW authorized an increase in WPLs maximum short-term borrowing capacity from $195 million to $250 million.
Shelf Registrations - As of June 30, 2006, Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL had $208 million, $35 million and $50 million remaining available under their respective shelf registration statements.
Common Stock Issuances - In the first half of 2006, Alliant Energy issued approximately $13 million of additional common stock, primarily under its equity plans for employees.
Common Stock Repurchase Program - In August 2006, Alliant Energy announced that its Board of Directors approved a plan to repurchase up to $200 million of its common stock by the end of 2007. Repurchases may be made from time-to-time on the open market, in privately-negotiated transactions and/or through accelerated share repurchases. The share repurchase plan is expected to be funded from available cash balances and proceeds from anticipated divestitures of non-regulated businesses.

OTHER MATTERS
Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Positions - Alliant Energys 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 Energys market risks is included in Alliant Energys, IPLs and WPLs combined Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2005 and such market risks have not changed materially from those reported in the 2005 Form 10-K, except as described below.
Commodity Price Risk - Current and forecasted prices of electric and natural gas commodities decreased significantly during the first half of 2006 partially due to milder weather, which impacted demand for electric and natural gas commodities during such period. Also contributing to the decreases were higher natural gas storage levels relative to historical averages. The decreases in the cost of electric and natural gas commodities are not expected to have a significant impact on IPLs electric and gas margins or WPLs gas margins under their current rate making structures. However, WPLs electric margins are subject to volatility with changes in commodity prices due largely to the retail recovery mechanisms in place in Wisconsin for fuel-related costs. Alliant Energy and WPL are unable to determine the anticipated impact of these decreases in commodity prices on their future electric margins given the uncertainty of how future costs will correlate with the retail electric rates in place and the outcome of pending fuel-related rate cases. Refer to Note 1(b) of Alliant Energys Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Rates and Regulatory Matters for further discussion of the reserve for rate refund recorded by WPL in the first half of 2006 related to a pending fuel-related rate case.
Currency Exchange Rate Risk - At June 30, 2006, Alliant Energy had currency exchange risk associated with $104 million of intercompany receivables at its wholly-owned New Zealand subsidiary associated with the repatriation of proceeds from its issuance of redeemable preference shares (classified as long-term debt) in the third quarter of 2005. For the second quarter and first half of 2006, Alliant Energy recorded pre-tax income of $1.1 million and $11.8 million, respectively, related to foreign currency transaction gains on such receivables as a result of decreases in the New Zealand foreign exchange rates. Based on the receivables balance and currency rates at June 30, 2006, a 10% change in the currency rates would result in a $10 million pre-tax increase/decrease in net income.
In May 2006, Alliant Energy entered into a foreign exchange collar to mitigate a portion of the exchange rate risk associated with its New Zealand investments. The foreign exchange collar has a notional amount of $175 million New Zealand dollars and expires in December 2006. In the second quarter of 2006, Alliant Energy recorded pre-tax income of $1.9 million related to changes in the fair value of such foreign exchange collar as a result of decreases in the New Zealand foreign exchange rates. Based on the terms of the foreign exchange collar and the currency rates at June 30, 2006, a 10% change in currency rates would result in a $10 million pre-tax increase/decrease in net income.
New Accounting Pronouncement - Refer to Note 1(f) of Alliant Energys Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of FIN 48.
Critical Accounting Policies - A summary of Alliant Energys critical accounting policies is included in Alliant Energys, IPLs and WPLs combined Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2005 and such policies have not changed materially from the items reported in the 2005 10-K, except as described below. Refer to Note 5(a) of Alliant Energys Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of Alliant Energys remeasurement of certain of its qualified pension plans.
Other Future Considerations - A summary of Alliant Energys, IPLs and WPLs other future considerations is included in the combined Form 10-K filed by Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL for the year ended Dec. 31, 2005 and such considerations have not changed materially from the items reported in the 2005 Form 10-K.

57
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Alliant Energys, IPLs and WPLs management evaluated, with the participation of each of Alliant Energys, IPLs and WPLs Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Disclosure Committee, the effectiveness of the design and operation of Alliant Energys, IPLs and WPLs disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2006 pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on their evaluation, the CEO and the CFO concluded that Alliant Energys, IPLs and WPLs disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
There was no change in Alliant Energys, IPLs and WPLs internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Alliant Energys, IPLs or WPLs internal control over financial reporting. During the third quarter of 2006, management plans to complete the implementation of federal and state tax provision software that will automate tax provisions and improve the efficiency of preparing the supporting documentation and reports for federal and state income tax balances.
