WISCONSIN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements for Wisconsin Electric Power Company should be read in conjunction with Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in Wisconsin Electric's 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 Electric, 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.

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.

The following table presents pro forma information as if SFAS 143 had been adopted at the beginning of fiscal 2002.

The following table presents the details of the Company's asset retirement obligations which are included on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets in "Deferred Credits and Other Liabilities".

The regulated operations of the Company also collect 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 $396 million related to removal costs recorded in "Accumulated Depreciation".

Debt Redemption Costs:   As permitted by regulatory authorities, the Company is accounting for certain debt redemption costs under the revenue neutral method of accounting. Under the revenue neutral method of accounting, the Company defers the costs associated with the redemption of utility debt, to the extent that the redeemed debt is refinanced with other utility debt. The redemption costs are amortized based upon the difference between the interest expense of the new and redeemed debt. Wisconsin Electric's $485 million of optional debt redemptions in June and August 2003 are being accounted for using the revenue neutral method of accounting. At September 30, 2003, the Company had deferred as regulatory assets approximately $21.3 million of net debt redemption costs and expects to fully amortize these costs through 2005.

Derivative Instruments:   The Company adopted SFAS 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, effective July 1, 2003. SFAS 149, which was issued by the FASB in April 2003, amends Statement 133 for certain decisions made by FASB as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process and other FASB projects dealing with financial instruments. SFAS 149 also amends Statement 133 to incorporate clarifications of and to expand the definition of a derivative. Upon adoption of SFAS 149, prospectively any forward energy contracts that are subject to unplanned netting, also referred to as bookouts, generally will qualify as derivatives and any changes in fair value of the derivative are to be recorded currently in earnings. However, the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin ("PSCW") allows the effects of the fair market value accounting to be offset to regulatory assets and liabilities for any energy-related contracts in the regulated electric operations that qualify as derivatives. During the third quarter of 2003, a decline in fair market value of approximately $1 million was recognized for energy contracts entered into during the quarter in the regulated electric operations that were subject to unplanned netting.

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

Wisconsin Electric enters into various guarantees to provide financial and performance assurance to third parties. As of September 30, 2003 Wisconsin Electric had the following guarantees:

Wisconsin Electric's guarantees support the commercial paper and line of credit borrowings for the Wisconsin Electric Fuel Trust. Wisconsin Electric also guarantees the potential retrospective premiums that could be assessed under Wisconsin Electric's nuclear insurance program.

Postemployment benefits:   Postemployment benefits provided to former or inactive employees are recognized when an event occurs. The estimated liability for such benefits was $10.4 million as of September 30, 2003.

Summarized financial information concerning Wisconsin Electric's reportable operating segments for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 is shown in the following table.

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.

EPA Information Requests:   Wisconsin Electric received a request for information in December 2000 from the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") regional offices pursuant to Section 114(a) of the Clean Air Act and a supplemental request in December 2002. In April 2003, Wisconsin Electric and EPA announced that a consent decree had been reached which resolved all issues related to this matter. Under the consent decree, Wisconsin Electric will significantly reduce its air emissions from its coal-fired generating facilities. The reductions will be achieved between now and 2013 through a combination of installing new pollution control equipment, upgrading existing equipment, and retiring certain older units. The capital cost of implementing this agreement is estimated to be approximately $600 million over 10 years. Under the agreement with EPA, Wisconsin Electric will spend between $20 million and $25 million to conduct a research project at its Presque Isle facility, in cooperation with U.S. Department of Energy, to test new mercury reduction technologies. These steps and the associated costs are consistent with the Company's cost projections for implementing its Wisconsin Multi-Emission Cooperative Agreement and Power the Future plan. Wisconsin Electric also agreed to pay a civil penalty of $3.2 million which was charged to earnings in the second quarter of 2003. The public comment period on the consent decree closed September 2, 2003, but the agreement remains subject to federal court approval. On July 21, 2003, the court granted the state of Michigan's and the EPA's joint motion to allow Michigan to become a party to the agreement. On October 3, 2003,
