                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (Unaudited)


1.  The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in
    conjunction with the company's 1994 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 and financial
    position of the company have been included in the accompanying income
    statement and balance sheet.  The results of operations for the three
    months and six months ended June 30, 1995 are not, however, necessarily
    indicative of the results which may be expected for the year 1995 because
    of seasonal and other factors.

2. On April 28, 1995, Wisconsin Energy Corporation ("WEC"), Wisconsin
   Electric Power Company's ("Wisconsin Electric") parent company, and
   Northern States Power Company, Minnesota ("NSP") entered into an Agreement
   and Plan of Merger, which was amended and restated as of July 26, 1995
   ("Merger Agreement").  The Merger Agreement provides for a strategic
   business combination involving NSP and WEC in a "merger-of-equals"
   transaction.  As a result, a registered utility holding company, which
   will be known as Primergy Corporation ("Primergy"), will be the parent of
   NSP and the current operating subsidiaries of NSP and WEC.   The business
   combination is intended to be tax-free for income tax purposes and to be
   accounted for as a "pooling of interests".

   The Merger Agreement is subject to various conditions, including approval
   of the stockholders of WEC and NSP and the approval of various regulatory
   agencies.  On July 10, 1995 WEC and NSP filed an application and
   supporting testimony with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission seeking
   approval of the proposed merger.  Similar filings will be made later this
   year with regulatory agencies in states where WEC and NSP provide utility
   services.  The Merger Agreement and certain related matters will be
   submitted to shareholders of WEC and NSP for their consideration at
   meetings scheduled for September 13, 1995.  WEC and NSP anticipate
   completing this business combination late in 1996.  ITEM 5. OTHER
   INFORMATION in Part II of this report contains further information
   concerning the proposed transaction.

3. WEC intends to merge Wisconsin Natural Gas Company into Wisconsin Electric
   to form a single combined utility subsidiary.  All required regulatory
   approvals for the merger have been received.  Completion of the planned
   merger is expected to occur by January 1, 1996.

                        PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

Wisconsin Energy Corporation ("Wisconsin Energy" or "WEC"), the parent company
of Wisconsin Electric Power Company ("Wisconsin Electric"), has entered into
an agreement with Northern States Power Company ("NSP") which provides for a
strategic business combination involving WEC and NSP in a "merger-of-equals"
transaction.  Further information concerning such agreement and proposed
transaction is included in ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION in Part II of this
report.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by Wisconsin Electric's operating activities totaled $162
million during the six months ended June 30, 1995.  This compares to $163
million provided during the same period in 1994.

Wisconsin Electric's investing activities totaled $125 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 compared to $136 million during the same period in
1994.  Investments during the first half of 1995 include $104 million for the
construction of new or improved facilities, $13 million for acquisition of
nuclear fuel, and $5 million for payments to an external trust for the
eventual decommissioning of Wisconsin Electric's Point Beach Nuclear Plant.

Capital requirements for the remainder of 1995 are expected to be principally
for construction expenditures, purchase of nuclear fuel, and payments to the
external trust for the eventual decommissioning of the Point Beach Nuclear
Plant.  Depending upon market conditions, Wisconsin Electric may refund some
issues of its current debt and issue approximately $100 million of additional
long-term debt in a public offering later in 1995.  The specific form, amount
and timing of debt securities which may be issued have not yet been determined
and will depend, to a large extent, on market conditions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter Results:

Net income increased 15% or by approximately $7 million during the second
quarter of 1995 compared to the same period during 1994.

Electric revenues increased 2.4% during the second quarter of 1995 compared to
the second quarter of 1994.  Primarily due to warm weather in June 1995, total
electric retail revenues increased 3.5% in these comparative periods.

With the additional peaking capacity at the Paris Generating Station, the need
for firm purchase power contracts was eliminated, resulting in a decrease of
19% in purchased power expenses between the three months ended June 30, 1995
and 1994.  For the same periods, other operation expenses also decreased 2%.

The annualized $16,179,000 or 1.3% Wisconsin retail electric fuel adjustment
rate decrease that became effective on August 4, 1994 for Wisconsin Electric
customers remains effective in 1995.

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

Total electric kilowatt-hour sales during the second quarter of 1995 were flat
compared to 1994.  As measured by cooling degree days, the month of June 1995
was 6% warmer than June 1994, helping to push residential electric kilowatt-
hour sales 9.3% higher in the second quarter of 1995 compared to the same
period in 1994.

Electric energy sales to the Empire and Tilden iron ore mines, Wisconsin
Electric's two largest customers, decreased 2.4% during the quarter ended 
June 30, 1995 compared to the same period during 1994.  Excluding the mines,
total electric sales increased 0.6% and sales to the remaining large
commercial and industrial customers increased 2.3% during the second quarter
of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994.

Year-to-Date Results:

Net income increased $43 million during the six months ended June 30, 1995
compared to the same period in 1994, reflecting a non-recurring charge in the
first quarter of 1994 of approximately $39 million (net of tax) associated
with Wisconsin Electric's restructuring program.  This charge included the
cost of severance and early retirement packages, elements of a
"revitalization" program designed to better position Wisconsin Electric in a
changing market place.  It is anticipated that this charge will be offset by
the end of 1995 through savings in operation and maintenance costs.  Excluding
the non-recurring charge in 1994, net income increased approximately $4
million during the six month period ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same
period during 1994.  

During the first six months of 1995 compared to the first six months of 1994,
total electric revenues decreased 0.5% as a result of lower total electric
energy sales.  Because of unscheduled outages during the first quarter of 1995
at two of the company's most efficient power plants, Pleasant Prairie Power
Plant and Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Wisconsin Electric purchased replacement
energy on the spot market, resulting in increased purchased power costs of
25.8% during the six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to 1994.  This was
partially offset by a 3.1% decrease in fuel expenses between these same two
periods such that total costs for fuel and purchased power was up only 0.6%. 
In the first six months of 1995, other operation and maintenance expenses
decreased 5.4% compared to the first six months of 1994, reflecting among
other things the effects of the company's "revitalization" program.

Total electric kilowatt-hour sales during the first six months of 1995
declined 1.5% compared to 1994, primarily due to lower sales to other
utilities.  Retail electric sales increased 2% during the period.

Electric energy sales to the Empire and Tilden iron ore mines decreased 1.6%
during the six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same period during
1994.  Excluding the mines, total electric sales decreased 1.5% but sales to
the remaining large commercial and industrial customers increased 3.3% during
the six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same period during 1994.

RATE MATTERS

Wisconsin Retail Electric and Steam Jurisdictions

1996 Test Year:  On March 27, 1995, Wisconsin Electric and Wisconsin Natural Gas
Company ("Wisconsin Natural") sent a letter to the Public Service Commission
of Wisconsin ("PSCW") proposing a one year deferral of their scheduled rate
case filing.  On May 1, 1995, Wisconsin Electric and Wisconsin Natural filed
with the PSCW required data related to the 1996 test year.  This was an
abbreviated filing since no increase in rates was requested.  The Citizens
Utility Board ("CUB") filed a petition seeking a reduction in rates of $100

million and a hearing on the companies' request for a freeze on rates in 1996. 
Other parties filed in support of CUB's petition.  The companies are opposing
the petition.  The PSCW staff has reviewed the companies' data and has
developed a preliminary recommendation for an electric rate decrease of
between 2% and 3%, a gas rate decrease of approximately 2.5%, and a steam rate
decrease of about 5%.  The PSCW staff recommendation is based upon a
regulatory return on equity of 11.3%.  This matter is expected to come before
the PSCW in mid-August or September 1995.  Any change in rates would likely
not take effect until after January 1, 1996.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

At Wisconsin Electric's 1995 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 16,
1995, for which Wisconsin Electric did not solicit proxies, the board of
directors as listed in Wisconsin Electric's Information Statement dated 
April 21, 1995 (the "Information Statement") was re-elected in its entirety. 
With respect to each nominee, 33,289,327 votes were cast for election and no
votes were withheld.  There was no solicitation in opposition to the nominees
proposed in the Information Statement and there were no abstentions or broker
non-votes with respect to the election of directors.  Further information
concerning this matter is contained in the Information Statement.

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

PARIS GENERATING STATION

In June 1995, two units, or approximately 150 megawatts of peaking capacity,
were placed in-service marking the completion of the new Paris Generating
Station.  Previously in March 1995, two units, or another approximately 150
megawatts of peaking capacity, were placed in-service at this facility. 
Capital expenditures associated with the four units at this facility total
approximately $105 million.  The 300 megawatt natural gas-fired combustion
turbine facility, located near Union Grove, Wisconsin is expected to run less
than 500 hours per year, helping meet electric peak demand requirements.

RECORD ELECTRIC PEAK DEMAND

On July 31, 1995, Wisconsin Electric reached a new all-time electric peak
demand of 5,368 megawatts, during a period of unusually hot and humid weather. 
The previous record peak demand prior to the summer of 1995 of 4,950 megawatts
was set on June 14, 1994.

WISCONSIN ENERGY MERGER AGREEMENT WITH NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY

On April 28, 1995, Wisconsin Energy Corporation ("Wisconsin Energy" or "WEC"),
the parent company of Wisconsin Electric Power Company ("Wisconsin Electric"),
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Northern States Power
Company ("NSP") which provides for a strategic business combination involving
Wisconsin Energy and NSP in a "merger-of-equals" transaction, as previously
reported in WEC's Current Report on Form 8-K dated as of April 28, 1995 and in
its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 ("WEC's
3/31/95 10-Q").  The Agreement and Plan of Merger was amended and restated as
of July 26, 1995 to make certain nonsubstantive changes.  The Amended and
