                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


   1. The consolidated financial statements included herein have been
      prepared by Wisconsin Power and Light Company (the "Company" or
      "WPL"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
      Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, certain information
      and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
      prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
      have been condensed or omitted.  The consolidated financial statements
      include the Company and its wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries. 
      The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of WPL Holdings, Inc.  These
      financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
      statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest
      annual report on Form 10-K.

      In the opinion of the Company, the consolidated interim financial
      statements reflect all adjustments necessary to fairly state the
      results of operations for the interim periods presented.  However,
      because of the seasonal nature of the Company's operations, the
      results shown for portions of a year are not indicative of annual
      results.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 VS. MARCH 31, 1994:

   OVERVIEW

    The Company reported consolidated first quarter net income of $20.9
   million compared to $26.6 million for the same period in 1994.  The
   principal operating factors include a $1.1 million pre-tax decrease in
   electric margin due to less than favorable weather conditions and a $.8
   million  pre-tax increase in interest expense primarily from additional
   short-term debt requirements.

    An additional factor was the reversal of a $ 4.8 million pre-tax reserve
   in the first quarter of 1994 which represented a penalty assessment to the
   PSCW relating to the administration of a coal contract.

     Electric margin decreased slightly in the first quarter of 1995
   compared to the first quarter of 1994.  Revenues and electric production
   fuels decreased due to less favorable weather conditions than  the first
   quarter of 1994. Growth among all customer classes remained strong due to
   favorable economic conditions in WPL's service territory.

    Gas margin for the first quarter of 1995 was comparable to the first
   quarter of 1994. Less favorable weather in the first quarter of 1995
   compared to the same period in 1994 resulted in lower revenues and a
   corresponding decrease in purchased gas expense. However, overall margin
   was maintained due to WPL's effective gas procurement strategies which
   lowered the unit cost of purchased gas per therm. Customer growth 
   remained strong from the solid economic conditions in WPL's service
   territory.  

   Other Income and Deductions - Other, Net

    Other, net decreased for the first quarter of 1995 compared with the
   same period in 1994, primarily due to the reversal of $4.8 million, pre-
   tax reserve which represented a penalty assessment by the PSCW relating to
   the administration of a coal contract.  In the first quarter of 1994, the
   Wisconsin State Supreme Court ruled in favor of WPL asserting that the
   assessment represented retroactive ratemaking.  Accordingly, the tax
   effect of the above impacted current income tax expense under Other Income
   and Deductions in the first quarter of 1994.

   Interest Expense
    
    The increase in interest expense between the first quarters is primarily
   from the issuance of $12 million of short-term debt by the Company and a
   general rise in interest rates compared to the first quarter of 1994.


   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   Financing and Capital Structure

    The level of short-term borrowing fluctuates based primarily on seasonal
   corporate needs, the timing of long-term financing and capital market
   conditions.  To maintain flexibility in its capital structure and to take
   advantage of favorable short-term rates, the Company also uses proceeds
   from the sales of accounts receivable and unbilled revenues to finance a
   portion of its long-term cash needs.

    The Company's capitalization at March 31, 1995, including the current
   maturities of long-term debt, variable rate demand bonds and short-term
   debt, consisted of 58 percent common equity, 6 percent preferred stock and
   36 percent long-term debt. 

   Capital Expenditures

    The Company's liquidity is primarily determined by the level of cash
   generated from operations and the funding requirements of WPL's ongoing
   construction and maintenance programs.  Cash flows from operating
   activities, after dividends paid, provided approximately $66 million and
   $67 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994,
   respectively.  The Company finances its construction expenditures through
   internally generated funds supplemented, when required, by outside
   financing.  The estimated construction expenditures for the remainder of
   1995 are $95  million.  The Company currently anticipates that it will
   finance approximately 79 percent of these expenditures through internally
   generated funds.

    The expenditures for the decommissioning of the Kewaunee Nuclear Power
   Plant ("Kewaunee") are estimated to begin in 2014.  It is anticipated that
   expenditures related to the actual decommissioning of the plant will occur
   between 2014 and 2021 of which WPL's share in terms of future dollars,
   approximates $581 million.  An additional $435 million related to the
   storage of spent nuclear fuel on site and other maintenance of the site
   will likely occur from 2022 to 2050.  By 2013, WPL currently expects to
   have the cost collected through electric rates and funded in an external
   trust.  Therefore, such expenditures are not expected to have a direct
   impact on the liquidity or the availability of capital resources.

   Industry Outlook

    The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) has recently opened a
   formal docket initiating an inquiry into the goals of Wisconsin utility
   regulation and identification of alternative forms of regulation.  WPL has
   submitted its views which, in summary form, call for open access to
   transmission and distribution systems and a competitive power generation
   market place.  It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of
   these proceedings.

    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has put utilities on
   notice that they must provide open access to their transmission facilities
   for wholesale customers subject to certain approved FERC tariffs.  WPL
   believes its existing open access tariffs position it well to compete
   under such market conditions.

   Other

    The steam generator tubes at Kewaunee are susceptible to corrosion
   characteristics, a condition that has been experienced throughout the
   nuclear industry.  Annual inspections are performed to identify degraded
   tubes.  Continued use of degraded tubes raises concerns regarding primary-
   to-secondary leakage of reactor coolant.  Therefore, degraded tubes are
   either repaired by sleeving or are removed from service by plugging.  The
   steam generators were designed with an approximately 15 percent heat
   transfer margin, meaning that full power should be sustainable with the
   equivalent of 15 percent of the steam generator tubes plugged.  Tube
   plugging and the build-up of deposits on the tubes affect the heat-
   transfer capability of the steam generators to the point where eventually
   full-power operation will not be possible and there will be a gradual
   decrease in the capacity of the plant.  As of December 31, 1994, the
   equivalent of approximately 12 percent of the tubes in the steam
   generators were plugged.

    Kewaunee was taken out of service for scheduled maintenance and
   refueling on April 1, 1995.  During the maintenance and refueling, the
   results of the ongoing steam generator inspections have revealed tube
   crack indications that will require an additional 700 of the nearly 7,000
   existing tubes to be temporarily plugged during the next operating cycle. 
   This additional plugging will result in a total of approximately 22
   percent of the tubes being plugged.  This will result in the plant
   operating with an approximate 4 percent power level reduction, or 20-25
   Megawatts of the 525 Megawatt net plant output.  The continued safe
   operation of the plant will not be impacted by the newly plugged tubes or
   the reduced capacity level.  There may be slightly increased maintenance
   and purchased power expenses resulting from the removal of the degraded
   tubes and the purchase of replacement power.  However, these impacts are
   not expected to be material.  It is anticipated that Kewaunee will be
   returned to service during the week of May 14.

    Operation at this reduced power level should be temporary.  Cost
   effective repair technologies are available which will allow return of the
   tubes to service as early as the next maintenance and refueling shutdown
   which is scheduled for the fall of 1996.  Several tube samples have been
   removed for further structural and metallurgical examination in an effort
   to determine the best repair method.  After repairs are undertaken, as few
   as 9% of the tubes could remain plugged, thus allowing resumption of full
   power operation.  An accurate estimate of the cost of recovering plugged
   tubes is not available at this time.
