INTRODUCTION

Wisconsin Gas Company ("Wisconsin Gas" or "the Company"), a natural gas distribution public utility, is a Wisconsin corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of WICOR, Inc. ("WICOR"), a diversified holding company. On April 26, 2000, a merger between Wisconsin Energy Corporation ("Wisconsin Energy") and WICOR was completed. Upon the completion of the merger, WICOR, Wisconsin Gas and WICOR's other subsidiaries became wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of Wisconsin Energy.

Subsequent to the merger, Wisconsin Gas and Wisconsin Electric Power Company ("Wisconsin Electric"), another wholly-owned public utility subsidiary of Wisconsin Energy, have combined common functions. In April 2002, the two companies began doing business under the trade name of "We Energies".

The unaudited interim financial statements presented in this Form 10-Q have been prepared by Wisconsin Gas pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Wisconsin Gas's financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in Wisconsin Gas's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.	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's 2001 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 six month periods ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative, however, of the results which may be expected for the entire year 2002 because of seasonal and other factors.

2.	Wisconsin Gas has modified certain income statement and cash flow presentations. Prior year financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to their current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or cash provided by operating activities.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

3.	*Business Combinations and Goodwill:* In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The standard was effective beginning January 1, 2002. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives are no longer subject to amortization. However, goodwill along with other intangibles are subject to new fair value-based rules for measuring impairment, and resulting write-downs, if any, are reflected as a change in accounting principle upon adoption and in operating expense in subsequent periods.

	Management estimated the fair value of the Company by considering public company trading multiples and merger and acquisition transaction multiples for similar companies. This evaluation utilized the information available in the circumstances, including reasonable and supportable assumptions. The results of this evaluation indicated that the fair value of the Company was in excess of the carrying amount. Given consideration of these factors, the Company has determined that there is no impairment to the recorded goodwill balance at the date of adoption of SFAS 142. These impairment tests were required to be performed as of the January 1, 2002, adoption of SFAS 142 and at least annually thereafter. On an ongoing basis, absent any impairment indicators, the Company expects to perform its annual impairment test during its third quarter.

	The adoption of SFAS 142 by Wisconsin Gas on January 1, 2002 resulted in an increase in net income of $2.9 million and $5.8 million, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002, due to the elimination of goodwill amortization.

	The following table presents what reported net income would have been had SFAS 142 been adopted at the beginning of fiscal 2001.

	Three Months Ended June 30		Six Months Ended June 30
	2002	2001	2002	2001

Net Income (Millions of Dollars)
Reported Net Income (Loss)	$1.5	($6.1)	$24.4	$13.0
Pro forma Net Income (Loss)	$1.5	($3.2)	$24.4	$18.8

	*Asset Retirement Obligations:* In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS 143, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, requiring entities to record the fair value of a legal liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. When the liability is recorded, the entity capitalizes the costs of the liability by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Each period, the liability is accreted to its present value, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. The Company expects to adopt SFAS 143 effective January 1, 2003.

	The Company is performing a detailed assessment of the specific applicability and implications of SFAS 143. Any changes in depreciation expense due to differing assumptions between SFAS 143 and those currently required by the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin ("PSCW") are not expected to be material, and the Company would expect to seek recovery of these expenses in rates.

COMMON EQUITY

4.	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 six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001:

5.	During the second quarter of 2002, Wisconsin Gas completed asset sales with net proceeds of $12.0 million. These sales include the Company's former main office building in Milwaukee and the sale of Leasing Services, an unregulated division of Wisconsin Gas.

ITEM 2.

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

Cautionary Factors:
A number of forward-looking statements are included in this document. When used, the terms "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "objective," "plan," "possible," "potential," "project" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions which could cause actual results to differ materially from those that are described, including the factors that are noted throughout this document and below in "Factors Affecting Results, Liquidity and Capital Resources".

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002
EARNINGS

Earnings increased by $7.6 million or 124.6% in the second quarter of 2002 compared with the second quarter of 2001, primarily reflecting an increase in total gas margins, reduced interest expense, and the elimination of goodwill amortization effective January 1, 2002 with the adoption of SFAS 142.

Operating Revenues, Gross Margin and Therm Deliveries

A comparison follows of operating revenues, gross margin and gas deliveries during the second quarter of 2002 with similar information for the second quarter of 2001. Gross margin is a better performance indicator for the gas utility than revenues because changes in the cost of gas sold flow through to revenue under gas cost recovery mechanisms that do not impact gross margin. Operating revenues decreased by $5.3 million or 5.3% reflecting a $9.7 million decrease in purchased gas costs offset in part by increased volumes due to cooler weather.

	Three Months Ended June 30
Operations	2002	2001	% Change
	(Millions of Dollars)

Operating Revenues	$94.4	$99.7	(5.3%)
Cost of Gas Sold	57.9	67.6	(14.3%)
Gross Margin	$36.5	$32.1	13.7%
	====	====

For the three months ended June 30, 2002, gross margin increased by $4.4 million or 13.7% when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001 due primarily to a 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. The region experienced periods of unseasonably cool weather during April and May of 2002. As measured by heating degree days, the second quarter of 2002 was 25.6% cooler than the second quarter of 2001 and 12.0% cooler than normal.

The following table compares gross margins and natural gas therm deliveries by customer class during the second quarter of 2002 with similar information for the second quarter of 2001.

	Gross Margins				Therm Deliveries
		Three Months Ended June 30			Three Months Ended June 30
Operations	2002		2001	% Change	2002	2001	% Change

Other Items
Other Operation and Maintenance Expenses:
Other operation and maintenance expenses increased by $4.1 million or 24.0% during the second quarter of 2002 when compared with the second quarter of 2001. The primary increase in the second quarter of 2002 included $3.9 million of higher intercompany costs related to information systems. Prior to August 2001, Wisconsin Gas utilized its own customer service system. In connection with the merger, in August of 2001, the Company transferred its customer service function to Wisconsin Electric which resulted in increased operating and maintenance costs and reduced depreciation expense. In addition, during the second quarter of 2002, the Company experienced higher pension and other medical benefit expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization:
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by $2.1 million during the second quarter of 2002 primarily due to the Company completing the amortization of its customer service system, a service now provided by Wisconsin Electric, with the related cost recognized by the Company as other operating and maintenance expense.

Goodwill Amortization:
Goodwill amortization expenses decreased by $2.9 million during the second quarter of 2002 due primarily to the adoption on January 1, 2002 of SFAS 142, which eliminated amortization of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives.

Interest Expense:
Interest expense decreased by $5.9 million or 67.0% during the second quarter of 2002 due primarily to intercompany notes which were reversed in December 2001 pursuant to a PSCW order, and to lower short-term interest rates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002
EARNINGS

The earnings for Wisconsin Gas increased by $11.4 million to $24.4 million during the first six months of 2002 when compared to the first six months of 2001. This increase in earnings primarily reflects lower interest expense of $11.9 million during the first six months of 2002. In addition, amortization of goodwill was discontinued effective January 1, 2002 with the adoption of SFAS 142, resulting in an increase in earnings of $5.8 million.

Operating Revenues, Gross Margin and Therm Deliveries

A comparison of operating revenues, gross margin and gas deliveries follows. 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 that do not impact gross margin. As reflected below, operating revenues declined by $149.5 million or 34.6% between the first six months of 2002 and the first six months of 2001 offset by a $149.1 million decrease in purchased gas costs.

	Six Months Ended June 30
Operations	2002	2001	% Change
	(Millions of Dollars)

Operating Revenues	$282.8	$432.3	(34.6%)
Cost of Gas Sold	171.3	320.4	(46.5%)
Gross Margin	$111.5	$111.9	(0.4%)
	=====	=====

Lower prices for natural gas caused most of the 34.6% decrease in operating revenues and the 46.5% decrease in the cost of gas sold during the first six months of 2002. As noted above, such gas cost decreases do not affect the margin earned on each therm of gas delivered as a result of the Company's gas cost recovery mechanisms.

The following table compares gross margins and natural gas therm deliveries by customer class during the first six months of 2002 with similar information for the first six months of 2001.

(a)	As measured at Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Normal degree days are based upon a twenty-year moving average.

During the first six months of 2002, total therm deliveries of natural gas increased by 0.6% but varied within customer classes. Volume deliveries for the residential customers decreased by 0.4% and for the commercial/industrial customer classes increased by 6.5%, respectively. Therm deliveries to these customer classes declined due to warm winter weather in the first quarter of 2002. This decrease was partially offset by unseasonably cool weather in the second quarter of 2002 and classification changes between customer classes for several customers. Transportation volumes were 2.1% lower than the prior year.

Other Items
Other Operation and Maintenance Expenses:
Other operation and maintenance expenses increased by $3.2 million or 8.1% during the first six months of 2002 when compared with the first six months of 2001. The most significant increase included higher intercompany costs related to information systems. Prior to August 2001, Wisconsin Gas utilized its own customer service system. In connection with the merger, in August of 2001, the Company transferred its customer service function to Wisconsin Electric which resulted in increased operating and maintenance costs and reduced depreciation expense. In addition, during the first six months of 2002, the Company experienced increased employee benefit costs compared to the first six months of 2001.

Depreciation and Amortization:
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by $1.8 million during the first six months of 2002 primarily due to the Company completing the amortization of its customer service system as this function is now provided by Wisconsin Electric, with the related cost recognized by the Company as other operating and maintenance expense.

Goodwill Amortization:
Goodwill amortization expenses decreased by $5.8 million during the first six months 2002 due primarily to the adoption on January 1, 2002 of SFAS 142, which eliminated amortization of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives.

Interest Expense:
Interest expense decreased by $11.9 million or 65.7% during the first six months of 2002 due primarily to intercompany notes which were reversed in December 2001 pursuant to a PSCW order. In addition, lower short-term interest rates have contributed to reduced interest expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
CASH FLOWS

The following summarizes Wisconsin Gas's cash flows during the first six months of 2002 and 2001:

	Six Months Ended June 30
Wisconsin Gas Company	2002	2001
	(Millions of Dollars)
Cash Provided by (Used in)
Operating Activities	$88.5	$47.1
Investing Activities	($5.4)	($16.1)
Financing Activities	($81.1)	($33.2)

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities increased to $88.5 million during the first six months of 2002 compared with $47.1 million during the same period in 2001. This increase is due in part to lower natural gas prices during the first six months of 2002 which resulted in a decline in working capital needs. In addition, operating activities for the first six months of 2002 increased due to lower tax and interest payments then for the first six months of 2001.

Investing Activities

During the first six months of 2002, Wisconsin Gas had cash outflows from investing activities of $5.4 million as compared to $16.1 million during the first six months of 2001. This decrease is directly related to a $12.0 million increase in proceeds from asset sales in 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, capital expenditures totaled $16.7 million and $15.9 million, respectively.

Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2002, Wisconsin Gas used $81.1 million for financing activities compared with $33.2 million during the first six months of 2001. This change can be attributed to an increase in short-term debt repayments between the first six months of 2002 and 2001, due to the decrease in the cost of natural gas and resulting decline in working capital needs.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND REQUIREMENTS
Capital Resources

Cash requirements during the remaining six months of 2002 are expected to be met through a combination of internal sources of funds from operations, short-term borrowings and existing lines of credit.

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's 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.

On December 12, 2001, Wisconsin Gas entered into an unsecured 364-day $190 million bank back-up credit facility that replaced individual bank lines of credit that were expiring. The credit facility may be extended for an additional 364 days, subject to lender agreement.

On June 30, 2002, Wisconsin Gas had $190 million of available unused lines of bank back-up credit facilities. The Company had approximately $48 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 the Company's operations.

The following table shows Wisconsin Gas's capitalization structure at June 30, 2002 and at December 31, 2001:

Capitalization Structure	June 30, 2002		December 31, 2001
	(Millions of Dollars)

Common Equity	$713.8	78.3%	$691.0	71.3%
Long-Term Debt (including
current maturities)	150.1	16.5%	149.3	15.4%
Short-Term Debt	47.6	5.2%	128.7	13.3%
Total	$911.5	100.0%	$969.0	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 & Poors Corporation ("S&P"), Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") and Fitch.

	S&P	Moody's	Fitch

Wisconsin Gas Company
Commercial Paper	A-1	P-1	F1+
Unsecured Senior Debt	A	Aa2	AA-

S&P's, Moody's and Fitch's current outlook for Wisconsin Gas is Stable.

Wisconsin Gas believes these 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. 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 2002 are expected to be principally for capital expenditures and for short-term debt retirements. Wisconsin Gas's 2002 annual capital expenditure budget is approximately $91 million.

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.

Total contractual obligations and other commercial commitments for Wisconsin Gas as of June 30, 2002 declined compared with December 31, 2001 due to normal periodic or cyclical payments related to these types of obligations. There were no significant new contracts entered into in the first six months of 2002. Obligations for utility operations by Wisconsin Gas have historically been included as part of the rate making process and were therefore generally recoverable from customers.
