WISCONSIN GAS COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements for Wisconsin Gas Company should be read in conjunction with Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in Wisconsin Gas' 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, normal and recurring in nature, necessary to a fair statement of the results of operations, cash flows and financial position of Wisconsin Gas, have been included in the accompanying income statements, statements of cash flows and balance sheets. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year 2003 because of seasonal and other factors.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Asset Retirement Obligations: The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, effective January 1, 2003. Under SFAS 143, entities are required to record the fair value of a legal liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. When a new liability is recorded, the entity capitalizes the costs of the liability by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. At retirement, an entity settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss.

As of September 30, 2003, Wisconsin Gas has not identified any asset retirement obligations. However, the Company collects removal costs in rates for certain assets that do not have associated legal asset retirement obligations. As of September 30, 2003, the Company estimates that it has approximately $169 million related to removal costs recorded in "Accumulated Depreciation".

Business Combinations and Goodwill: The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangibles under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives are not subject to amortization. However, goodwill and other intangibles are subject to fair value-based rules for measuring impairment, and resulting write-downs, if any, are to be reflected in operating expense.

The Company assesses its fair value by considering future discounted cash flows. This analysis is supplemented with a review of fair value based on public company trading multiples and merger and acquisition transaction multiples for similar companies. This evaluation utilizes the information available under the circumstances, including reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections.

3. COMMON EQUITY

Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive Income includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by and distributions to owners. Wisconsin Gas had the following total Comprehensive Income during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002:

	Nine Months Ended September 30
Comprehensive Income	2003	2002
	(Millions of Dollars)

Net Income	$17.7	$18.1
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Hedging Gains (Losses)	1.1	(1.0)
Total Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)	1.1	(1.0)
Total Comprehensive Income	$18.8	$17.1
	====	====

4. GUARANTEES

Postemployment benefits: Postemployment benefits provided to former or inactive employees are recognized when an event occurs. The estimated liability for such benefits has not changed significantly from the $1.6 million accrual recorded by the Company as of December 31, 2002.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Matters: The Company periodically reviews its exposure for remediation costs as evidence becomes available indicating that its remediation liability has changed. Given current information, management believes that future costs in excess of the amounts accrued and/or disclosed on all presently known and quantifiable environmental contingencies will not be material to the Company's financial position or results of operations.

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

Cautionary Factors: Certain statements contained herein are "Forward Looking Statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward Looking Statements may be identified by reference to a future period or periods or by the use of forward looking terminology such as "may," "intends," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "objectives," "plans," "possible," "potential," "project" or similar terms or variations of these terms. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in Forward Looking Statements as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, changes in political and economic conditions, equity and bond market fluctuations, varying weather conditions, governmental regulation and supervision, as well as other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") including factors described throughout this document and below in "Factors Affecting Results, Liquidity and Capital Resources".

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003
EARNINGS

Traditionally the quarter ending September 30 has the lowest gross margin due to the lack of a heating load. The net loss for the third quarter of 2003 was $5.9 million or 6.3% less than the third quarter of 2002, primarily reflecting increases in both gross margin and other income (deductions) offset by increases in other operation and maintenance expenses.

Operating Revenues, Gross Margin and Therm Deliveries

A comparison follows of operating revenues, gross margin and gas deliveries for the third quarter of 2003 with similar information for the third quarter of 2002 including favorable (better ("B")) or unfavorable (worse ("W")) variances. Gross margin is a better performance indicator than revenues because changes in the cost of gas sold flow through to revenue under gas cost recovery mechanisms. Due primarily to a significant increase in the delivered cost of natural gas between the comparative periods, gas operating revenues increased by $20.8 million or 36.6% offset by a $17.8 million or 51.6% increase in purchased gas costs.

	Three Months Ended September 30
Operations	2003	B (W)	2002
	(Millions of Dollars)

Operating Revenues	$77.6	$20.8	$56.8
Cost of Gas Sold	52.3	(17.8)	34.5
Gross Margin	$25.3	$3.0	$22.3
	====	====	====

Gas margins increased by $3.0 million or 13.5% between the comparative periods due primarily to recognition of $2.2 million of increased gas cost incentive revenues during the third quarter of 2003 compared with the third quarter of 2002 under the Company's gas cost recovery mechanisms.

The following table compares gross margins and natural gas therm deliveries by customer class during the third quarter of 2003 with similar information for the third quarter of 2002.

		Gross Margin				Therm Deliveries

Other Items

Other Operation and Maintenance Expenses: Other operation and maintenance expenses increased by $3.3 million or 17.3% during the third quarter of 2003 when compared with the third quarter of 2002. The increase was attributable, in part, to an increase of $0.5 million of pension and other benefit costs during 2003.

Other Income (Deductions), Net: Other income (deductions) increased by $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2003 compared to the third quarter of 2002. This increase is primarily due to increased Allowance For Other Funds Used During Construction for construction of the Ixonia Lateral.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003
EARNINGS

The net income for Wisconsin Gas decreased by $0.4 million to $17.7 million during the first nine months of 2003 when compared to the first nine months of 2002. This decrease in net income primarily reflects improved gross margin and increased other income (deductions) which was more than offset by higher other operations and maintenance expense, bad debt expense, and increased pension and other benefit costs during the first nine months of 2003.

Operating Revenues, Gross Margin and Therm Deliveries

A comparison follows of operating revenues, gross margin and gas deliveries for the first nine months of 2003 with similar information for the first nine months of 2002. Gross margin is a better performance indicator than revenues because changes in the cost of gas sold flow through to revenue under gas cost recovery mechanisms. Due primarily to a significant increase in the delivered cost of natural gas between the comparative periods, gas operating revenues increased by $175.9 million or 51.8% offset by a $161.8 million or 78.6% increase in purchased gas costs.

	Nine Months Ended September 30
Gas Utility Operations	2003	B (W)	2002
	(Millions of Dollars)

Gas Operating Revenues	$515.5	$175.9	$339.6
Cost of Gas Sold	367.6	(161.8)	205.8
Gross Margin	$147.9	$14.1	$133.8
	====	====	====

Gas margins increased by $14.1 million or 10.5% between the comparative periods primarily due to a favorable weather-related increase in therm deliveries, especially to residential customers who are more weather sensitive and contribute higher margins per therm than other customer classes. As measured by heating degree days, the first nine months of 2003 was 16.6% colder than the first nine months of 2002 and 11.4% colder than normal. A $2.2 million increase in gas cost incentive revenues during the first nine months of 2003 under the Company's gas cost recovery mechanism also contributed to the increased gross margin between the comparative periods.

The following table compares gross margins and natural gas therm deliveries by customer class during the first nine months of 2003 with similar information for the first nine months of 2002.

		Gross Margin				Therm Deliveries
			Nine Months Ended September 30			Nine Months Ended September 30

Other Items

Other Operation and Maintenance Expenses: Other operation and maintenance expenses increased by $18.8 million or 30.4% during the first nine months of 2003 when compared with the first nine months of 2002. The increase was primarily attributable to approximately $4.4 million of higher pension and other benefit costs and $7.5 million of bad debt expenses in large part due to higher gas bills.

Other Income (Deductions), Net: Other income (deductions) increased by $2.0 million for the first nine months of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. This increase is primarily due to increased Allowance For Other Funds Used During Construction for construction of the Ixonia Lateral.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
CASH FLOWS

The following summarizes cash flows for Wisconsin Gas during the first nine months of 2003 and 2002:

	Nine Months Ended September 30
Wisconsin Gas Company	2003		2002
	(Millions of Dollars)
Cash Provided by (Used in)
Operating Activities	$66.6	$51.1
Investing Activities	($106.5)	($21.4)
Financing Activities	$38.9	($31.5)

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities increased to $66.6 million during the first nine months of 2003 compared with $51.1 million during the same period in 2002. This increase was due in part to lower working capital requirements between the comparative periods due to the impact of unseasonably cool spring and summer weather in 2003.

Investing Activities

During the first nine months of 2003, Wisconsin Gas invested a total of $106.5 million, an increase of $85.1 million over the prior year, primarily due to costs for construction of the Ixonia Lateral. In addition, Wisconsin Gas realized $12.2 million during the first nine months of 2002 from the sale of assets that did not recur during the first nine months of 2003.

Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company received $38.9 million from financing activities compared with using $31.5 million for financing activities during the first nine months of 2002. This change reflects an increase in short-term debt to fund the Ixonia Lateral construction.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND REQUIREMENTS
Capital Resources

Cash requirements during the remaining three months of 2003 are expected to be met through a combination of internal sources of funds from operations, short-term borrowings and existing lines of credit supplemented, if necessary, through the sale of debt securities.

Depending on market conditions and other factors, including receipt of required regulatory approvals, Wisconsin Gas anticipates issuing between $100 and $200 million of unsecured long-term debt during the fourth quarter of 2003 under an existing $200 million shelf registration statement filed with the SEC.

The Company has access to outside capital markets and has been able to generate funds internally and externally to meet its capital requirements. Wisconsin Gas' ability to attract the necessary financial

capital at reasonable terms is critical to the Company's overall strategic plan. Wisconsin Gas believes that it has adequate capacity to fund its operations for the foreseeable future through its borrowing arrangements and internally generated cash.

Wisconsin Gas had approximately $200 million of available unused lines of bank back-up credit facilities as of September 30, 2003. The Company had approximately $181.1 million of total short-term debt outstanding on such date.

Wisconsin Gas reviews its bank back-up credit facility needs on an ongoing basis and expects to be able to maintain adequate credit facilities to support its operations. The following table summarizes such facility at September 30, 2003:

Total Facility	Drawn	Credit Available	Facility Maturity	Facility Term
(Millions of Dollars)

$200.0	$ -	$200.0	Jun-2004	364 day

The following table shows Wisconsin Gas' capitalization structure at September 30, 2003 and at December 31, 2002:

Capitalization Structure	September 30, 2003		December 31, 2002
	(Millions of Dollars)

Common Equity	$745.0	69.1%	$726.1	71.2%
Long-Term Debt	152.3	14.1%	151.0	14.8%
Short-Term Debt	181.1	16.8%	142.2	14.0%
Total	$1,078.4	100.0%	$1,019.3	100.0%
	=====	====	=====	====

Access to capital markets at a reasonable cost is determined in large part by credit quality. The following table summarizes the current ratings of the debt securities of Wisconsin Gas by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P"), Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") and Fitch Ratings ("Fitch").

	S&P	Moody's	Fitch

Wisconsin Gas Company
Commercial Paper	A-2	P-1	F1
Unsecured Senior Debt	A-	A1	A+

In October 2003, Moody's lowered Wisconsin Gas' senior unsecured rating from Aa2 to A1. Moody's confirmed the P-1 commercial paper rating of Wisconsin Gas. Moody's ratings outlook for Wisconsin Gas is stable.

In October 2003, Fitch lowered Wisconsin Gas' senior unsecured rating from AA- to A+. Fitch lowered the commercial paper rating of Wisconsin Gas from F1+ to F1. Fitch's ratings outlook for Wisconsin Gas is stable.

S&P's current outlook for Wisconsin Gas is stable.

Wisconsin Gas believes these security ratings should provide a significant degree of flexibility in obtaining funds on competitive terms. However, these security ratings reflect the views of the rating agencies only. An explanation of the significance of these ratings may be obtained from each rating agency. Such ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, but rather an indication of creditworthiness. Any rating can be revised upward or downward or withdrawn at any time by a rating agency if it decides that the circumstances warrant the change. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

Capital Requirements

Capital requirements during the remainder of 2003 are expected to be principally for capital expenditures. Wisconsin Gas' 2003 annual capital expenditure budget is approximately $113 million.

Financial Instruments: Wisconsin Gas is a party to various financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk as a part of its normal course of business, which may include, from time to time, financial guarantees and letters of credit which support construction projects, commodity contracts and other payment obligations. As of September 30, 2003, the Company's estimated maximum exposure under such agreements is zero.

Contractual Obligations/Commercial Commitments: The Company's total contractual obligations and other commercial commitments as of September 30, 2003 decreased compared with December 31, 2002 due to customary periodic payments, along with reductions during the first nine months of 2003 in obligations and commitments made in the ordinary course of business.

FACTORS AFFECTING RESULTS, LIQUDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

UTILITY RATES AND REGULATORY MATTERS

Limited Rate Adjustment Request: Under the conditions of the PSCW Order authorizing Wisconsin Energy's acquisition of WICOR, Inc., Wisconsin Energy and its subsidiaries are authorized to seek rate reviews with the PSCW during a five-year rate restriction period that began January 1, 2001 limited to changes in revenue requirements as a result of:

Governmental mandates;
Abnormal levels of capital additions required to maintain or improve reliable electric service; and
Major gas lateral projects associated with approved natural gas pipeline construction projects.

On July 2, 2003, Wisconsin Gas filed an application with the PSCW for $26.2 million (3.9%) of rate adjustments for anticipated 2004 revenue deficiencies associated with (1) increased costs linked to changes in Wisconsin's public benefits legislation, and (2) costs for construction of the Ixonia Lateral further described below. The Company anticipates an order from the PSCW on this request in early 2004.

Request for Deferral of Uncollectible Accounts Receivable: Due to a combination of unusually high natural gas prices, the soft economy within its utility service territories, and limited governmental assistance available to low-income customers, the Company has seen a significant increase in residential uncollectible accounts receivable. Because of this, the Company sent a letter to the PSCW on July 23, 2003 requesting authority to defer for future rate recovery all bad debt expenses incurred during 2003 in

excess of amounts included in current utility rates. The PSCW approved the Company's request in October 2003; however the Company has not received a final order. As such, the Company has not yet determined the financial impact of the PSCW's decision.

Ixonia Lateral: In April 2003, Wisconsin Gas started construction on the 35-mile Ixonia Lateral, which will connect the Wisconsin Gas distribution system to the Guardian Pipeline. The Ixonia Lateral is expected to provide substantial gas cost savings as well as critical additional pipeline capacity. Wisconsin Gas expects to complete and place the Ixonia Lateral in service in time to allow Wisconsin Gas to access its full contract capacity from Guardian Pipeline in the fourth quarter of 2003.

Power the Future - Port Washington: Associated with construction of the Port Washington Generating Station under Wisconsin Energy's Power the Future strategy, Wisconsin Gas received a Certificate of Authority from the PSCW in December 2002 authorizing construction of a 16.8 mile natural gas lateral that will connect the Port Washington Generating Station to the ANR Pipeline. It will also improve reliability for the natural gas distribution system in the area. The Company received a Chapter 30 wetland permit from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources ("WDNR") on July 3, 2003 approving construction of this lateral. The WDNR permitted construction of substantially the entire lateral consistent with the planned route previously approved by the PSCW, with certain exceptions. The Company has modified the planned route pursuant to the WDNR's request and the PSCW is scheduled to meet in November 2003 for re-approval of the modified route. Including the requested changes, the Company estimates the total cost of the project to be approximately $40 million, subject to PSCW approval. Construction of the lateral is scheduled to begin in spring 2004 and to be completed by late 2004.

In July and August 2003, two landowners filed separate Petitions for Review in Ozaukee County Circuit Court challenging the Chapter 30 permit issued in July 2003 by the WDNR to Wisconsin Gas for the Port Washington Lateral. Further, in September 2003, one of the same landowners filed an additional Petition for Review in Ozaukee County Circuit Court challenging WDNR's denial of a request for a contested case hearing on the issuance of the Chapter 30 permit. The Company has intervened as a full party in these proceedings and will actively support the validity of the permit.
