ALLIANT ENERGY CORPORATION
(Parent Company Only)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC, the Condensed Financial Statements of Alliant Energy Corporation (Parent Company Only) do not reflect all of the information and notes normally included with financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, these Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and related Notes included in Alliant Energy’s 2015 Form 10-K, Part II, Item 8, which is incorporated herein by reference.

In the Condensed Financial Statements of Alliant Energy Corporation (Parent Company Only), investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method.

Alliant Energy allocates income tax expense to its subsidiaries that are members of the group that file a consolidated or combined income tax return. In the fourth quarter of 2015, Alliant Energy changed its method of allocating income tax provisions and related deferred tax assets and liabilities to its subsidiaries from the parent-company-down approach to the modified separate return approach. The change was retrospectively applied to the Parent Company’s Condensed Financial Statements. This tax method change did not impact Alliant Energy’s consolidated financial statements. The change had no impact on Parent Company net income, but impacted the income tax provisions and the equity earnings from consolidated subsidiaries in the Parent Company Condensed Statements of Income, as well as investment in consolidated subsidiaries and deferred tax liabilities on the Parent Company Condensed Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 1(c) for additional information on the tax method change.
