60 percent of the ore consumed by integrated steel facilities in the United
States originates from six taconite customers of Minnesota Power, which
represent 4,579 kilowatt-hours, or 64 percent, of our total industrial sales in
2008.&#160;Taconite, an iron-bearing rock of relatively low iron content, is
abundantly available in Minnesota and an important domestic source of raw
material for the steel industry. Taconite processing plants use large quantities
of electric power to grind the iron-bearing rock, and agglomerate and pelletize
the iron particles into taconite pellets. Strong worldwide steel demand, driven
largely by extensive infrastructure development in China, resulted in very
robust world iron ore demand and steel pricing for nearly a six-year period
which lasted through the summer of 2008. Beginning in the fall of 2008,
worldwide steel producers began to dramatically cut steel production in response
to reduced demand driven largely by the world credit situation. (See Item 7.

1,567 kilowatt-hours, or 22 percent, of our total industrial sales in 2008. In
total, we serve four major paper and pulp mills directly and one paper mill
indirectly by providing wholesale service to the retail provider of the mill.

Power&#8217;s paper and pulp customers ran at, or very near, full capacity for the
majority of 2008 despite the fact that the industry continued to face high
fiber, chemical, and energy costs as well as competition from exports in certain
grades of paper products. Minnesota Power&#8217;s customers benefited from the
temporary or permanent idling of plants both in North America at mills other
than those served by Minnesota Power and the idling of plants in Europe, as well
as continued (but declining) strength of the Canadian dollar and the Euro which
has reduced imports both from Canada and Europe.</font></div>

pipeline industry is the third key industrial segment served by Minnesota Power
with services provided to two crude oil pipelines and one refinery,&#160;which
represent 582 kilowatt-hours, or 8 percent, of our total industrial sales in
2008. These customers have a common reliance on the importation of Canadian
crude oil. After near capacity operations in 2006, 2007, and 2008, both pipeline
operators are executing expansion plans to transport Western Canadian crude oil
reserves (Alberta Oil Sands) to United States markets. Access to traditional
Midwest markets is being expanded to Southern markets as the Canadian supply is
displacing domestic production and deliveries imported from the Gulf
Coast.</font></div>

Contracts</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">.</font>
Minnesota Power has contracts with 12 Large Power Customers, 11 of which require
10 MWs or more of generating capacity and one that requires at least 8 MWs of
generating capacity. These customers consist of six taconite producing
facilities (two of which are owned by one company and are served under a single
contract), four paper and pulp mills, two pipeline companies and one
manufacturer.</font></div>

Power Customer contracts require Minnesota Power to have a certain amount of
generating capacity available. In turn, each Large Power Customer is required to
pay a minimum monthly demand charge that covers the fixed costs associated with
having this capacity available to serve the customer, including a return on
common equity. Most contracts allow customers to establish the level of
megawatts subject to a demand charge on a four-month basis and require that a
portion of their megawatt needs be committed on a take-or-pay basis for at least
a portion of the agreement. In addition to the demand charge, each Large Power
Customer is billed an energy charge for each kilowatt-hour used that recovers
the variable costs incurred in generating electricity. Four of the Large Power
Customers have interruptible service which provides a discounted demand rate for
the ability to interrupt the customers during system emergencies. Minnesota
Power also provides incremental production service for customer demand levels
above the contractual take-or-pay levels. There is no demand charge for this
service and energy is priced at an increment above Minnesota Power&#8217;s cost.
Incremental production service is interruptible.</font></div>

contracts with Large Power Customers continue past the contract termination date
unless the required advance notice of cancellation has been given. The advance
notice of cancellation varies from one to four years. Such contracts minimize
the impact on earnings that otherwise would result from significant reductions
in kilowatt-hour sales to such customers. Large Power Customers are required to
take all of their purchased electric service requirements from Minnesota Power
for the duration of their contracts. The rates and corresponding revenue
associated with capacity and energy provided under these contracts are subject
to change through the same regulatory process governing all retail electric
rates. (See Regulatory Matters &#8211; Electric Rates)</font></div><br>

Power entered into new contracts with all of our municipal customers with the
exception of one small customer whose contract is now in the cancellation
period. The new contracts transition each customer to formula based rates, which
means rates can be adjusted annually based on changes in costs. The new
agreement with the private utility in Wisconsin is subject to PSCW approval. In
November 2008, we filed a request with the FERC to implement the formula based
rate provision in the new contracts. We anticipate final resolution and

2005, and expire on April 30, 2010. Both contracts contain fixed monthly
capacity charges and fixed minimum energy charges. One contract provides for an
annual escalator to the energy charge based on increases in our cost of coal,
subject to a small minimum annual escalation. The other contract provides that
the energy charge will be the greater of the fixed minimum charge or an annual
amount based on the variable production cost of a combined-cycle, natural gas
unit. Our exposure in the event of a full or partial outage at our Taconite
Harbor facility is significantly limited under both contracts. When the buyer is
notified at least two months prior to an outage, there is no liability. Outages
with less than two months notice are subject to an annual duration limitation
typical of this type of contract. These contracts qualify for the normal

purchases low-sulfur, sub-bituminous coal from the Powder River Basin coal
region located in Montana and Wyoming. Coal consumption in 2008 for electric
generation at Minnesota Power&#8217;s coal-fired generating stations was approximately
5.2&#160;million tons. As of December 31, 2008, Minnesota Power had a coal
inventory of about 631,000 tons. Minnesota Power&#8217;s primary coal supply
agreements have expiration dates that are staggered from the end of 2009 through
2011. Under these agreements, Minnesota Power has the tonnage flexibility to
procure 70 percent to 100 percent of its total coal requirements. In 2009,
Minnesota Power expects to obtain coal under these coal supply agreements and in
the spot market. This diversity in coal supply options allows Minnesota Power to
manage its coal market price and supply risk and to take advantage of favorable
spot market prices. Minnesota Power continues to explore future coal supply
options. We believe that adequate supplies of low-sulfur, sub-bituminous coal
will continue to be available.</font></div>

Company defaulted on a material obligation under the Company&#8217;s Coal
Transportation Agreement (CTA). In the notice, BNSF claimed the Company
underpaid approximately $1.6 million for coal transportation services in 2006
and that failure to pay such amount plus interest may result in BNSF&#8217;s
termination of the CTA. We believe we do not owe the amount claimed. On April 1,
2008, to ensure that BNSF did not attempt to terminate the CTA, we paid under
protest the full amount claimed by BNSF and filed a demand for arbitration of
the issue. On April 22, 2008, BNSF filed a counterclaim in the arbitration
disputing our position that we are entitled to a refund from BNSF of $1.5
million plus interest for amounts that we overpaid for 2007 deliveries. The
arbitration is proceeding in connection with the claim regarding 2006 payments
and the counterclaim regarding 2007 payments, and we are unable to predict the
outcome at this time. The delivered costs of fuel for the Company&#8217;s generation
are recoverable from Minnesota Power&#8217;s utility customers through the fuel
adjustment clause.</a></font></div>

Minnesota Power has contracts to purchase capacity and energy from various
entities. The largest contract is with Square Butte. Under an agreement with
Square Butte, expiring at the end of 2026, Minnesota Power is currently entitled
to approximately 50 percent of the output of a 455-MW coal-fired generating unit
located near Center, North Dakota. (See Note 8. Commitments, Guarantees, and
Contingencies.)&#160;The Square Butte generating unit operated by Minnkota Power
burns North Dakota lignite coal supplied by BNI Coal in accordance with the
terms of a contract that extends through 2026. Square Butte&#8217;s cost of lignite
burned in 2008 was approximately $0.93 per MBtu. The lignite that has been
dedicated to Square Butte by BNI Coal is located on lands essentially all of
which are under private control and presently leased by BNI Coal. This lignite
supply is sufficient to provide fuel for the anticipated useful life of the
generating unit.</font></div>

Commission.</font> On May 2, 2008, Minnesota Power filed a rate increase request
with the MPUC seeking an average rate increase of 8.5 percent for retail
customers. The rate filing seeks a return on equity of 11.15 percent, and a
capital structure consisting of 54.8 percent equity and 45.2 percent debt. On an
annualized basis, the requested rate increase would generate approximately $40
million in additional revenue. Interim rates were effective on August 1, 2008,
and resulted in an increase for retail customers of approximately $36 million,
or 7.5 percent, on an annualized basis, subject to refund pending the final rate
order. Incremental revenue in 2008 from the interim retail rate increase was
approximately $13&#160;million. The transition to a new base cost of fuel
coincident with interim rates resulted in the non-recovery through the fuel
adjustment clause of approximately $19 million of fuel and purchased power costs
incurred in 2008. We have entered into a stipulation and settlement agreement
that would allow recovery of the $19 million in 2009 and which addresses
specific concerns identified by interveners in the rate case; the stipulation
and settlement agreement is subject to MPUC approval. The final rate order is
expected in the second quarter of 2009. We cannot predict the final level of
rates that may be approved by the MPUC. Prior to the May 2008 retail rate
request Minnesota Power&#8217;s rates were based on a 1994 MPUC retail rate order that
allowed for an 11.6 percent return on equity.</font></div>

(CIP).</font> Minnesota requires electric utilities to spend a minimum of 1.5
percent of gross operating revenues from service provided in the state on energy
CIPs each year. These investments are recovered from retail customers through a
billing adjustment and amounts included in retail base rates. The MPUC allows
utilities to accumulate, in a deferred account for future cost&#160;recovery,
all CIP expenditures, as well as a carrying charge on the deferred account
balance. Minnesota&#8217;s Next Generation Energy Act of 2007 introduced, in addition
to minimum spending requirements, an energy-saving goal of 1.5 percent of gross
annual retail electric energy sales by 2010. In May 2007, an abbreviated filing
was submitted and subsequently approved by the MPUC, allowing the continuation
of Minnesota Power&#8217;s 2006-2007 CIP biennial and related goals for one additional
year, through 2008. For future program years, Minnesota Power will build upon
current successful CIPs in an effort to meet the newly established 1.5 percent
energy-saving goal. Minnesota Power&#8217;s CIP investment goal was $3.7 million for
2008 ($3.2 million for 2007 and 2006), with actual spending of $4.8 million in

include&#160;approximately 2,000 acres&#160;of a regionally significant wetlands
mitigation bank that was permitted by the St. Johns River Water Management
District in 2008 and is expected to be permitted by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers in 2009. Wetland mitigation credits will be used at Ormond Crossings
and will be available-for-sale to other developers. Market conditions will
determine when and if Ormond Crossings will be built out. We do not expect any
significant activity in 2009.</font></div>

that&#160;the Boswell Unit 4 Title V permit was violated. The NOV asserts that

Power has significantly reduced, and continues to reduce, emissions at Boswell

of control technology, some of which is already planned or completed for other
regulatory requirements. Any costs of installing pollution control technology
would likely be eligible for recovery in rates over time subject to MPUC and

28 states considered as &#8220;significantly contributing&#8221; to air quality standards
non-attainment in other downwind states. On July 11, 2008, the United States
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (Court) vacated the CAIR
and remanded the rulemaking to the EPA for reconsideration while also granting
our petition that the EPA reconsider including Minnesota as a CAIR state. In
September 2008, the EPA and others petitioned the Court for a rehearing or
alternatively requested that the CAIR be remanded without a<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">&#160;</font>court order. In December
2008, the Court granted the request that the CAIR be remanded without a court
order, effectively reinstating a January 1, 2009, compliance date for the CAIR,
including Minnesota. However, Minnesota Power has received written assurance
from the EPA that it intends to publish a rule amending the CAIR to stay its
effectiveness with respect to Minnesota until completion of the EPA&#8217;s
determination of whether Minnesota should be included as a CAIR state. Minnesota
Power anticipates the EPA will act regarding this Minnesota administrative stay
of the CAIR before CAIR compliance reporting would be required in 2010. If the
CAIR ultimately goes into effect in Minnesota, we expect we will have<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 70%; VERTICAL-ALIGN: super">&#160;</font>to
supplement ongoing emission control retrofits by providing for CAIR related
emission allowance purchases, supplemental emission reductions or a combination
of both.</font></div>

to the EPA to address regional haze visibility impairment in 156
federally-protected parks and wilderness areas. Under the regional haze rule,
certain large stationary sources of visibility-impairing emissions that were put
in place between 1962 and 1977 are required to install emission controls, known
as best available retrofit technology (BART). We have certain steam units
(Boswell Unit 3 and Taconite Harbor Unit 3) that are subject to BART

to the regional haze rule, Minnesota was required to develop its SIP by December
2007. As a mechanism for demonstrating progress towards meeting the long-term
regional haze goal, in April 2007 the MPCA advanced a draft conceptual SIP which
relied on the implementation of CAIR. However, a formal SIP was never filed due
to the Court&#8217;s review of CAIR as more fully described above under &#8220;EPA Clean Air
Interstate Rule.&#8221; Subsequently, the MPCA has requested that companies with BART
eligible units complete and submit a BART emissions control retrofit study,
which we did as to Taconite Harbor Unit 3 in November 2008. The retrofit work
currently underway on Boswell Unit 3 meets the BART requirement for that unit.
It is uncertain what controls will ultimately be required by the MPCA at
Taconite Harbor Unit 3 in connection with the regional haze rule.</font></div>

overturned the CAMR and remanded the rulemaking to the EPA for reconsideration.
In October 2008, the Department of Justice, on behalf of the EPA, petitioned the
Supreme Court to review the Court&#8217;s decision in the CAMR case. It is uncertain
how the Supreme Court will respond. Cost estimates for complying with CAMR or

equipment, even if maintained in accordance with good engineering practices, may
require significant capital expenditures to keep operating at peak efficiency.
This equipment is also likely to require periodic upgrading and improvements due
to changing environmental standards and technological advances. Minnesota Power

power, including failure caused by breakdown or forced outage, as well as
repairing damage to facilities due to storms, natural disasters, wars, terrorist
acts and other catastrophic events. Further, our ability to successfully and
timely complete capital improvements to existing facilities or other capital
projects is contingent upon many variables and subject to substantial risks.
Should any such efforts be unsuccessful, we could be subject to additional costs

of real property in Florida entails an extensive approval process involving

with the provisions of the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land
Development Regulation&#160;Act (Growth Management Act). In addition,
development projects that exceed certain specified regulatory thresholds require
approval of a comprehensive DRI application. The Growth Management Act, in some
instances, can significantly affect the ability of developers to obtain local
government approval in Florida. In many areas, infrastructure funding has not
kept pace with growth. As a result, substandard facilities and services can
delay or prevent the issuance of permits. Consequently, the Growth Management
Act could adversely affect the cost and our ability to develop future real

the enactment of new laws regarding the development of real property could
adversely affect our ability to develop future real estate

performance of the capital markets affects the values of the assets that are
held in trust to satisfy future obligations under our pension and postretirement
benefit plans. We have significant obligations to these plans and the Company
holds significant assets in these trusts. These assets are subject to market
fluctuations and will yield uncertain returns, which may fall below our
projected return rates. A decline in the market value of the pension and
postretirement benefit plan assets will increase the funding requirements under
our benefit plans if the actual asset returns do not recover. Additionally, our
pension and postretirement benefit plan liabilities are sensitive to changes in
interest rates. As interest rates decrease, the liabilities increase,
potentially increasing benefit expense and funding requirements.</font></div>

contributed income of $67.9 million in 2008 ($62.4 million in 2007). The
increase in earnings is primarily the result of higher rates and higher income
from our investment in ATC. Higher rates resulted from a March 1, 2008 increase
in FERC approved wholesale rates, an August 1, 2008 interim rate increase
(subject to refund) for retail customers in Minnesota, and current cost recovery
on our environmental retrofit projects. These rate increases were partially
offset by the expiration of sales contracts to Other Power Suppliers, and higher
operations and maintenance expense, depreciation expense, and interest
expense.</font></div>

AFUDC-Equity, investment tax credits, and wind production tax credits. In 2007,
a tax benefit was realized as a result of a state income tax audit settlement
($1.6 million). In 2008, non-recurring tax benefits due to the closing of a tax

kilowatt-hour sales were flat in 2007. Combined residential, commercial and
municipal kilowatt-hour sales increased 181.0 million, or 5.3 percent, from 2006
while industrial kilowatt-hour sales decreased by 152.0 million, or 2.1 percent.
The increase in residential, commercial and municipal kilowatt-hour sales was
primarily because of two existing municipal customers converting to full-energy
requirements and a 9.2 percent increase in Heating Degree Days. The reduction in
industrial kilowatt-hour sales was primarily due to an idle production line and
production delays at one of our taconite customers. In September 2007, the
affected taconite customer resumed production on the idle line. Minor
fluctuations in industrial kilowatt-hour sales generally do not have a large
impact on revenue due to a fixed demand component of revenue that is less
sensitive to changes in kilowatt-hours sales.</font></div>

direct investments in privately-held, start-up companies. We account for our
investment in venture capital funds under the equity method and account for our
direct investments in privately-held companies under the cost method because of
our ownership percentage. Our policy is to review these investments for
impairment on a quarterly basis by assessing such factors as continued
commercial viability of products, cash flow and earnings. Any impairment would
reduce the carrying value of the investment and be recognized as a loss. In
2008, there were no impairment losses recognized ($0.5 million pretax in 2007
and none in 2006). (See Note 6. Investments.)</font></div>

Life Actuarial Assumptions.</font> We account for our pension and postretirement
benefit obligations in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 158, &#8220;Employers&#8217;
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans,&#8221; SFAS 87,
&#8220;Employers&#8217; Accounting for Pensions,&#8221; and SFAS 106, &#8220;Employers&#8217; Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.&#8221; These standards require the use of
assumptions in determining our obligations and annual cost of our pension and
postretirement benefits. An important actuarial assumption for pension and other
postretirement benefit plans is the expected long-term rate of return on plan
assets. In establishing this assumption, we consider the diversification and
allocation of plan assets, the actual long-term historical performance for the
type of securities invested in, the actual long-term historical performance of
plan assets and the impact of current economic conditions, if any, on long-term
historical returns. Our pension asset allocation at December 31, 2008, was
approximately 46 percent equity, 32 percent debt, 16 percent private equity, and
6 percent real estate. Equity securities consist of a mix of market
capitalization sizes and both domestic and international securities. We
currently use an expected long-term rate of return of 8.5 percent in our
actuarial determination of our pension and other postretirement expense. We
annually review our expected long-term rate of return assumption and will adjust
it to respond to any changing market conditions. A one-quarter percent decrease
in the expected long-term rate of return would increase the annual expense for
pension and other postretirement benefits by approximately $1 million,
pre-tax.</font></div>

adjusted discount curve used in this comparison does not materially differ in
duration and cash flows for our pension obligation. (See Note 14. Pension and

make judgments regarding the potential tax effects of various financial

taxes. Judgments related to income taxes require the recognition in our

Capital losses may be deducted only to the extent of capital gains realized

2008, Minnesota Power filed a rate increase request with the MPUC seeking an
average rate increase of 8.5 percent for retail customers. The rate filing seeks
a return on equity of 11.15 percent, and a capital structure consisting of 54.8
percent equity and 45.2 percent debt. On an annualized basis, the requested rate
increase would generate approximately $40 million in additional revenue. Interim
rates were effective on August 1, 2008, and resulted in an increase for retail
customers of approximately $36 million, or 7.5 percent, on an annualized basis,
subject to refund pending the final rate order. Incremental revenue in 2008 from
the interim retail rate increase was approximately $13 million. The transition
to a new base cost of fuel coincident with interim rates resulted in the
non-recovery through the fuel adjustment clause of approximately $19 million of
fuel and purchased power costs incurred in 2008. We have entered into a
stipulation and settlement agreement that would allow recovery of the $19
million in 2009 and which addresses specific concerns identified by interveners

current retail rates are based on a December 2008 PSCW retail rate order that

utility rates for SWL&amp;P customers (a 13.4 percent increase in water rates, a
4.7 percent increase in electric rates, and a 0.6 percent decrease in natural
gas rates). On an annualized basis, the rate increase will generate

Electric power is one of several key inputs in the mining, paper production, and

worldwide steel demand, driven largely by extensive infrastructure development
in China, resulted in very robust world iron ore demand and steel pricing for
nearly a six year period which lasted through the summer of 2008. Between 2004
and 2008 annual taconite production averaged just over 40 million tons per year
from taconite mines in Northeastern Minnesota. Beginning in the fall of 2008,
worldwide steel makers began to dramatically cut steel production in response to
reduced demand driven largely by the world credit situation. During the fourth
quarter of 2008, United States raw steel production was running at less than 50
percent of capacity and at levels not seen since the early 1980s. Currently,
domestic raw steel production is at 45 percent of capacity reflecting poor
demand in automobiles, durable goods, structural, and other steel products.
Minnesota taconite producers began to be impacted in late 2008 and reduced
production levels are expected in 2009. Consequently, 2009 demand nominations
for power from our taconite customers are expected to be lower by at least 25
percent from 2008 levels. We intend to remarket available power to Other Power
Suppliers in an effort to mitigate the earnings impact of these lower industrial
sales. These sales are dependent upon the availability of generation and are
sold at market based prices into the MISO market on a daily basis or through
bilateral agreements of various durations. To date in 2009, we have sold power
to Other Power Suppliers to mitigate the demand reductions made to date from our
taconite customers. These contracts expire at various times during 2009, and
have pricing levels similar to the rates charged to our large power customers.
We will have additional power to sell in 2009 if our taconite customers continue
to reduce their demand; we are unable to predict pricing levels on such sales at
this time.</font></div>

</font>In February 2007, Minnesota enacted a law requiring Minnesota Power to
generate or procure 25 percent of its energy from renewable energy sources by
2025. The law also requires Minnesota Power to meet interim milestones of 12
percent by 2012, 17 percent by 2016, 20 percent by 2020, and 25 percent by 2025.
The law allows the MPUC to modify or delay a standard obligation if
implementation will cause significant ratepayer cost or technical reliability
issues. If a utility is not in compliance with a standard, the MPUC may order
the utility to construct facilities, purchase renewable energy or purchase
renewable energy credits. Minnesota Power was developing and making renewable

2 are complete and in service. The environmental regulatory requirements for
Taconite Harbor Unit 3 are pending finalization of the Minnesota Regional Haze
implementation plan by the MPCA. We are expecting to retrofit Taconite Harbor
Unit 3 by 2013 and are evaluating compliance requirements and cost recovery
options for this final unit.</font></div>

million, representing an approximate 8 percent ownership interest.&#160;ATC
provides transmission service under rates regulated by the FERC that are set in
accordance with the FERC&#8217;s policy of establishing the independent operation and
ownership of, and investment in, transmission facilities. ATC rates are based on
a 12.2 percent return on common equity dedicated to utility plant. ATC has
identified $2.7 billion in future projects needed over the next 10 years to
improve the adequacy and reliability of the electric transmission
system.&#160;This investment is expected to be funded through a combination of
debt and investor contributions. As additional opportunities arise, we plan to
make additional investments in ATC through general capital calls based upon our
pro-rata ownership interest in ATC. On January 30, 2009, we invested an
additional $1.9 million into ATC.&#160;In total, we expect to invest an
additional $5 to $7 million throughout 2009.</font></div>

December 31, 2008, total pending land sales under contract were $12.4 million
($55.2 million at December 31, 2007) and are scheduled to close at various times
through 2009. However, given current market conditions it may be difficult to
complete these closings in 2009. In July 2008, a $28.9 million contract with LDD
Palm Coast North LLC, a subsidiary of Lowe Enterprises was terminated, and a
$0.6 million contract deposit was forfeited. We are currently reviewing the best
options to proceed with this property. We believe this property, along with the
remaining property at Palm Coast Park, continues to have long-term
value.&#160;We continue to have discussions with other buyers under pending
contracts. Our objective is to proactively assist our buyers through this
current period of weak market conditions, as we believe the long-term prospects
for our properties are favorable. Our discussions sometimes result in
adjustments to contract terms, and may include extending closing dates, revised
pricing or termination. If a purchaser defaults on a sales contract, the legal
remedy is usually limited to terminating the contract and retaining the
purchaser&#8217;s deposit. The property is then available for resale. In many cases,
contract purchasers incur significant costs during due diligence, planning,
designing and marketing the property before the contract closes, therefore they
have substantially more at risk than the deposit.</font></div>

working capital requirements, which was partially offset by lower net income and
higher contributions to defined benefit pension and postretirement health plans
(included in Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash

resulted in an increase in customer receivables of $14.7 million compared to
2006. Cash used for prepayments and other was higher in 2007 than 2006 due to an
$11.5 million change in deferred fuel costs. The increase in deferred fuel costs
was the result of higher purchased power expenses due to generation
outages&#160;relating to the AREA Plan environmental retrofits, lower hydro
generation, lower Square Butte entitlement and Square Butte&#8217;s major scheduled
outage. Other current liabilities decreased primarily due to a reduction in
accrued taxes of $8.9 million. The decrease in cash from operating activities
for 2007 was partially offset by increased earnings from continuing operations
of $11.2 million and a decrease in cash used for discontinued operations of
$13.5 million.</font></div>

auction rate municipal bonds (auction rate securities) with stated maturity
dates ranging between 15 and 28 years. These ARS consist of guaranteed student
loans insured or reinsured by the federal government and were historically
auctioned every 35 days to set new rates and provide a liquidating event in
which investors could either buy or sell securities. The auctions have been
unable to sustain themselves during 2008 due to the overall lack of credit
market liquidity and we have been unable to liquidate all of our ARS. As a
result, we have classified the ARS as long-term investments and&#160;have the

until liquidity returns to this market. In the meantime, these securities will
pay a default rate which is typically above market interest rates.</font></div>

instruments adjusted for illiquidity and other risk factors), amount of cash

long-term debt arrangements contain customary covenants. In addition, our lines
of credit and letters of credit supporting certain long-term debt arrangements
contain financial covenants. The most restrictive covenant requires
ALLETE&#160;to maintain a ratio of its Funded Debt to Total Capital of less than
or equal to 0.65 to 1.00 measured quarterly. As of December 31, 2008 our ratio
was approximately 0.40 to 1.00.&#160;Failure to meet this covenant could give
rise to an event of default, if not corrected after notice from the lender, in
which event ALLETE may need to pursue alternative sources of funding. Some of
ALLETE&#8217;s debt arrangements contain &#8220;cross-default&#8221; provisions that would result
in an event of default if there is a failure under other financing arrangements
to meet payment terms or to observe other covenants that would result in an
acceleration of payments due. As of December 31, 2008, ALLETE was in compliance
with its financial covenants.</font></div>

have been rated by Standard &amp; Poor&#8217;s and by Moody&#8217;s. Rating agencies use
both quantitative and qualitative measures in determining a company&#8217;s credit
rating. These measures include business risk, liquidity risk, competitive
position, capital mix, financial condition, predictability of cash flows,
management strength and future direction. Some of the quantitative measures can
be analyzed through a few key financial ratios, while the qualitative ones are
more subjective. The disclosure of these credit ratings is not a recommendation
to buy, sell or hold our securities. Ratings are subject to revision or
withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization. Each rating should
be evaluated independently of any other rating.</font></div>

exposure to price risk for these commodities is significantly mitigated by the
current ratemaking process and regulatory environment, which generally allows a
fuel clause surcharge if costs are in excess of those in our last rate filing.
Conversely, costs below those in our last rate filing result in a rate credit.

into contracts of various durations and terms for the purchase of coal and power

such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide assurance that
information required to be disclosed in ALLETE&#8217;s reports filed or submitted
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within
the time periods specified in the SEC&#8217;s rules and forms and such information is

addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index

information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related
consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained,
in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-STYLE: italic">Internal Control - Integrated
Framework</font> issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these
financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial
reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting, included in Management's Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express
opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and
on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our
integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether
effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk
that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our
audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary
in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinions.</font></div>

to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(ii)&#160;provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of
the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management
and directors of the company; and (iii)&#160;provide reasonable assurance

2008, we changed our reportable segments (see Note 2. Business Segments.) Our
Regulated Operations and Investments and Other segments were determined in
accordance with SFAS 131, &#8220;Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information.&#8221; Segmentation is based on the manner in which we operate,
assess, and allocate resources to the business. We measure performance of our
operations through budgeting and monitoring of contributions to consolidated net
income by each business segment. Discontinued Operations includes our Water
Services businesses, the majority of which were sold in 2003. (See Note 12.

wholesale rate-regulated electric, natural gas, and water services in
northeastern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin along with our Investment in
ATC. Minnesota Power provides regulated utility electric service to 142,000
retail customers in northeastern Minnesota. SWL&amp;P, a wholly-owned
subsidiary, provides regulated utility electric, natural gas and water service
in northwestern Wisconsin to 15,000 electric customers, 12,000 natural gas
customers and 10,000 water customers. Approximately 40 percent of revenue from
regulated operations is from Large Power Customers (36 percent of consolidated
revenue). Large Power Customers consist of five taconite producers, four paper
and pulp mills, two pipeline companies and one manufacturer under
all-requirements contracts with expiration dates extending from April 2009
through December 2015. Revenue of $100.2 million (12.5 percent of consolidated
revenue) was received from one taconite producer in 2008 (12.0 percent in 2007;
11.6 percent in 2006). Regulated utility rates are under the jurisdiction of
Minnesota, Wisconsin&#160;and federal regulatory authorities. Billings are
rendered on a cycle basis. Revenue is accrued for service provided but not
billed. Regulated utility electric rates include adjustment clauses that: (1)
bill or credit customers for fuel and purchased energy costs above or below the
base levels in rate schedules; (2) bill retail customers for the recovery of
conservation improvement program expenditures not collected in base rates; and
(3) bill customers for the recovery of certain environmental expenditures. Fuel
and purchased power expense is deferred to match the period in which the revenue
for fuel and purchased power expense is collected from customers pursuant to the
fuel adjustment clause. Our Investment in ATC includes our approximate 8 percent
equity ownership interest in ATC, a Wisconsin-based utility that owns and
maintains electric transmission assets in parts of Wisconsin, Michigan,
Minnesota and Illinois. ATC provides transmission service under rates regulated
by the FERC that are set in accordance with the FERC&#8217;s policy of establishing
the independent operation and ownership of, and investment in, transmission
facilities. (See Note 6. Investments.)</font></div>

profit recognition is recorded on sales upon closing, provided cash collections
are at least 20 percent of the contract price and the other requirements of SFAS
66, &#8220;Accounting for Sales of Real Estate,&#8221; are met. In certain cases, where
there are obligations to perform significant development activities after the
date of sale, we recognize profit on a percentage-of-completion basis in
accordance with SFAS 66. Pursuant to this method of accounting, gross profit is
recognized based upon the relationship of development costs incurred as of that
date to the total estimated development costs of the parcels, including related
amenities or common costs of the entire project. Revenue and cost of real estate
sold in excess of the amount recognized based on the percentage-of-completion
method is deferred and recognized as revenue and cost of real estate sold during
the period in which the related development costs are incurred. Deferred revenue
and cost of real estate sold are recorded net as Deferred Profit on Sales of
Real Estate on our consolidated balance sheet. On December 31, 2008, we had no
deferred profit recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. Certain contracts
allow us to receive participation revenue from land sales to third parties if
various formula-based criteria are achieved.</font></div><br>

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at original cost and are reported on

repair costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for major plant overhauls
are also accounted for using this same policy. Gains or losses on non-rate base
property, plant and equipment are recognized when they are retired or otherwise
disposed. When regulated utility property, plant and equipment are retired or
otherwise disposed, no gain or loss is recognized, pursuant to SFAS 71,
&#8220;Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulations.&#8221; Our Regulated
Utility operations capitalize AFUDC, which includes both an interest and equity

We account for our long-lived assets at depreciated historical cost. A
long-lived asset is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. We
conduct this assessment using SFAS 144, &#8220;Accounting for the Impairment and
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.&#8221; Judgments and uncertainties affecting the
application of accounting for asset impairment include economic conditions
affecting market valuations, changes in our business strategy, and changes in
our forecast of future operating cash flows and earnings. We would recognize an
impairment loss only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not
recoverable from its undiscounted future cash flows. Management judgment is
involved in both deciding if testing for recoverability is necessary and in
estimating undiscounted future cash flows.</font></div>

</font>Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value with unrealized
gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net
of tax. Unrealized losses that are other than temporary are recognized in
earnings. Our auction rate securities (ARS) and variable rate demand notes,
classified as available-for-sale securities, are recorded at cost because their
cost approximates fair market value. These ARS were historically auctioned every
35 days to set new rates and provide a liquidating event in which investors
could either buy or sell securities. The auctions have been unable to sustain
themselves during 2008 due to the overall lack of credit market liquidity and we
have been unable to liquidate all of our ARS. As a result, we have classified
the ARS as long-term investments and have the ability to hold these securities
to maturity, until called by the issuer, or until liquidity returns to this
market. We use the specific identification method as the basis for determining
the cost of securities sold. Our policy is to review available-for-sale
securities for other than temporary impairment on a quarterly basis by assessing
such factors as the share price trends and the impact of overall market
conditions.&#160;(See Note 6. Investments.)</font></div>

review environmental matters for disclosure on a quarterly basis. Accruals for
environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been
incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, based on
current law and existing technologies. These accruals are adjusted periodically
as assessment and remediation efforts progress or as additional technical or
legal information becomes available. Accruals for environmental liabilities are
included in the balance sheet at undiscounted amounts and exclude claims for
recoveries from insurance or other third parties. Costs related to environmental
contamination treatment and cleanup are charged to operating expense unless
recoverable in rates from customers. (See Note 8. Commitments, Guarantees and

consolidated federal income tax return. We account for income taxes using the
liability method as prescribed by SFAS 109, &#8220;Accounting for Income Taxes.&#8221; Under
the liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are established
for all temporary differences in the book and tax basis of assets and
liabilities, based upon enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in
which the taxes become payable. Due to the effects of regulation on Minnesota
Power, certain adjustments made to deferred income taxes are, in turn, recorded
as regulatory assets or liabilities. Investment tax credits have been recorded
as deferred credits and are being amortized to income tax expense over the
service lives of the related property. Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the
provisions of FIN 48, &#8220;Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes &#8211; an
Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.&#8221; Under this provision we are required
to recognize in our financial statements the largest tax benefit of a tax
position that is &#8220;more-likely-than-not&#8221; to be sustained, on audit, based solely
on the technical merits of the position as of the reporting date. Only tax
positions that meet the &#8220;more-likely-than-not&#8221; threshold may be recognized, and
the term &#8220;more-likely-than-not&#8221; means more than 50 percent. (See Note 11. Income
Tax Expense.)</font></div>

September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, &#8220;Fair Value Measurements,&#8221; to increase
consistency and comparability in fair value measurements by defining fair value,
establishing a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expanding
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS&#160;157 emphasizes that fair
value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. It
clarifies the extent to which fair value is used to measure recognized assets
and liabilities, the inputs used to develop the measurements, and the effect of
certain measurements on earnings for the period. SFAS 157 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007,
and is applied on a prospective basis. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS
157-1, "Application of FAS 157 to FAS 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements
That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or
Measurement under FAS 13", which excludes FAS 13, "Accounting for Leases," and
its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing
transactions, from the scope of FAS 157.</font></div>

until fiscal years beginning after November&#160;15, 2008. The Company elected
to defer the adoption of the nonrecurring fair value measurement disclosures of

FASB issued SFAS 159, &#8220;The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial

financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on
an instrument-by-instrument basis. The election may only be applied at specified
election dates and to instruments in their entirety rather than to portions of
instruments. Upon initial election, the entity reports the difference between
the instruments&#8217; carrying value and their fair value as a cumulative-effect
adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. At each subsequent
reporting date, an entity reports in earnings, unrealized gains and losses on
items for which the fair value option has been elected. SFAS 159 is effective
for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007, and is applied on a prospective basis. We have elected not to adopt the

the FASB issued SFAS 160, &#8220;Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements &#8211; an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) 51,&#8221; to improve
the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information a
reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160
amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling
interests in subsidiaries and to make certain consolidation procedures
consistent with the requirements of SFAS 141R. It defines a noncontrolling
interest in a subsidiary as an ownership interest in the consolidated entity
that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS
160 changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented by requiring
consolidated net income to include amounts attributable to the parent and the
noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 establishes a single method of accounting for
changes in a parent&#8217;s ownership interest in a subsidiary which do not result in
deconsolidation. SFAS 160 also requires expanded disclosures that clearly
identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests
of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15,
2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is
prohibited. SFAS 160 shall be applied prospectively, with the exception of the
presentation and disclosure requirements which shall be applied retrospectively
for all periods presented. ALLETE Properties does have certain noncontrolling
interests in consolidated subsidiaries. If SFAS 160 had been applied as of
December 31, 2008, the $9.8 million reported as Minority Interest in the
Liabilities section on our consolidated balance sheet would have been reported
as $9.8 million of Noncontrolling Interest in Subsidiaries in the Equity section
of our consolidated balance sheet. Effective January 1, 2009, SFAS 160 will
impact the presentation of our consolidated balance sheet, but it is not
expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows.</font></div>

fourth quarter of 2008, we made changes to our reportable business segments in
our continuing effort to manage and measure performance of our operations based
on the nature of products and services provided and customers served.
Previously, we reported a Regulated Utility segment which included our regulated
utilities Minnesota Power and SWL&amp;P. This prior segment is now combined with
our previously disclosed segment, Investment in ATC, and renamed Regulated
Operations. In addition, we combined the three previously reportable business
segments Non-regulated Energy Operations, Real Estate, and Other into one
reportable business segment called Investments and Other. The Real Estate
segment was not a key component of ALLETE&#8217;s business in 2008 and is not expected
to be significant in the future. The Investments and Other segment also includes
emerging technologies, and earnings on cash and short term investments. In 2008,
none of the components of the Investments and Other segment contribute revenue,
profit, or assets that are greater than 10 percent of consolidated revenue,
profit, or assets. We have recast our segment information for fiscal years ended
2007 and 2006 to reflect the new reportable business segments. Presented below
are the operating results and other financial information related to our
reportable business segments. For a description of our reportable business
segments, see Item 1. Business.</font></div>

Pursuant to SFAS 143, &#8220;Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,&#8221; we
recognize, at fair value, obligations associated with the retirement of certain
tangible, long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction or
development and/or normal operation of the asset. Asset retirement obligations
(ARO) relate primarily to the decommissioning of our utility steam generating
facilities and land reclamation at BNI Coal, and are included in Other
Liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. Removal costs associated with
certain distribution and transmission assets have not been recognized under SFAS
143 as these facilities have indeterminate useful lives. The associated
retirement costs are capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset and
depreciated over the useful life of the asset. Conditional asset retirement
obligations have been identified for treated wood poles and remaining
polychlorinated biphenyl and asbestos-containing assets; however, removal costs
have not been recognized because they are considered immaterial to our
consolidated financial statements.</font></div>

ratemaking practices approved by applicable state and federal regulatory
commissions have allowed provisions for future plant removal costs in
depreciation rates. These plant removal cost recoveries were included in
accumulated depreciation. With the adoption of SFAS 143, accumulated plant
removal costs were reclassified either as AROs or as a regulatory liability for
non-ARO obligations. To the extent annual accruals for plant removal costs
determined under SFAS 143 differ from accruals under approved depreciation
rates, a regulatory asset has been established under SFAS 71. (See Note 5.
Regulatory Matters.)</font></div>

February 8, 2008, the FERC approved Minnesota Power&#8217;s wholesale rate increase
effective March 1, 2008.&#160;Minnesota Power&#8217;s wholesale customers consist of
16 municipalities in Minnesota and 1 private utility in Wisconsin. The FERC
authorized an average 10.0 percent increase for wholesale municipal customers,
and an overall return on equity of 11.25 percent. Incremental revenue in 2008
from the FERC authorized wholesale rate increase was approximately $6
million.</font></div>

Minnesota Power entered into new contracts with all of our wholesale customers
with the exception of one small customer whose contract is now in the
cancellation period. The new contracts transition each customer to formula based
rates, which means rates can be adjusted annually based on changes in costs. The
new agreement with the private utility in Wisconsin&#160;is subject to PSCW
approval. In November 2008, we filed a request with the FERC to implement the
formula based rate provision in the new contracts. We anticipate final
resolution and implementation of new rates in the first quarter of
2009.</font></div>

2008, Minnesota Power filed a rate increase request with the MPUC seeking an
average rate increase of 8.5 percent for retail customers. The rate filing seeks
a return on equity of 11.15 percent, and a capital structure consisting of 54.8
percent equity and 45.2 percent debt. On an annualized basis, the requested rate
increase would generate approximately $40 million in additional revenue. Interim
rates were effective on August 1, 2008, and resulted in an increase for retail
customers of approximately $36 million, or 7.5 percent, on an annualized basis,
subject to refund pending the final rate order. Incremental revenue in 2008 from
the interim retail rate increase was approximately $13 million. The transition
to a new base cost of fuel coincident with interim rates resulted in the
non-recovery through the fuel adjustment clause of approximately $19 million of
fuel and purchased power costs incurred in 2008. We have entered into a
stipulation and settlement agreement that would allow recovery of the $19
million in 2009 and which addresses specific concerns identified by interveners
in the rate case; the stipulation and settlement agreement is subject to MPUC
approval. The final rate order is expected in the second quarter of 2009. We
cannot predict the final level of rates that may be approved by the MPUC. Prior
to the May 2008 retail rate request Minnesota Power&#8217;s rates were based on a 1994
MPUC retail rate order that allowed for an 11.6 percent return on
equity.</font></div>

current retail rates are based on a December 2008 PSCW retail rate order that

utility rates for SWL&amp;P customers (a 13.4 percent increase in water rates, a
4.7 percent increase in electric rates, and a 0.6 percent decrease in natural
gas rates). On an annualized basis, the rate increase will generate
approximately $3 million in additional revenue.</font></div>

of December 31, 2008, we held $15.2 million of investments ($23.1 million at
December&#160;31,&#160;2007) consisting of three auction rate municipal bonds
(auction rate securities) with stated maturity dates ranging between 15 and 28
years. These ARS consist of guaranteed student loans insured or reinsured by the
federal government.&#160;These ARS were historically auctioned every 35 days to
set new rates and provide a liquidating event in which investors could either
buy or sell securities. The auctions have been unable to sustain themselves
during 2008 due to the overall lack of credit market liquidity and we have been
unable to liquidate all of our ARS. As a result, we have classified the ARS as
long-term investments and&#160;have the ability to hold these securities to
maturity, until called by the issuer, or until liquidity returns to this market.
In the meantime, these securities will pay a default rate which is typically
above market interest rates.</font></div>

Company has used a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair
value of its investment in ARS as of December 31, 2008. The assumptions used in
preparing the discounted cash flow model include the following: estimated
interest rates, estimated discount rates (using yields of comparable traded
instruments adjusted for illiquidity and other risk factors), amount of cash
flows, and expected holding periods of the ARS. These inputs reflect the
Company&#8217;s&#160;judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in
pricing ARS including assumptions about risk. Based upon the results of the
discounted cash flow model and the fact that these ARS consist of guaranteed
student loans insured or reinsured by the federal government no other than
temporary impairment loss has been reported.</font></div>

Financial instruments that subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist
primarily of accounts receivable. Minnesota Power sells electricity to 12 Large
Power Customers. Receivables from these customers totaled approximately $11
million at December 31, 2008 ($14 million at December 31, 2007). Minnesota Power
does not obtain collateral to support utility receivables, but monitors the
credit standing of major customers. In addition, our taconite-producing Large
Power Customers are on a weekly billing cycle, which allows us to closely manage
collection of amounts due.</font></div>

January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157 as discussed in Note 1, which,
among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities
carried at fair value.</font></div>

defined in SFAS 157, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market
data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs
to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market
corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company primarily applies the
market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavors to utilize
the best available information. Accordingly, the Company utilizes valuation
techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs. The Company is able to classify fair value balances based
on the observability of those inputs. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value
hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy
gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value
hierarchy defined by SFAS 157 are as follows:</font></div>

Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities as of the reporting date.&#160;Active markets are those in which
transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume
to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Instruments in this category
include primarily mutual fund investments held to fund employee
benefits.</font></div>
      <div style="DISPLAY: block; TEXT-INDENT: 0pt"><br></div>

Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level
1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or
other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard
models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for
commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual
prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic
measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the
marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from
observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are
executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category represent the
Company&#8217;s deferred compensation obligation and fixed income
securities.</font></div>

Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable
from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed
methodologies that result in management&#8217;s best estimate of fair value. At each
balance sheet date, management performs an analysis of all instruments subject
to SFAS 157 and includes in Level 3 all of those whose fair value is based on
significant unobservable inputs. Instruments in this category include auction
rate securities consisting of guaranteed student loans classified as Level 3
investments as of December 31, 2008. The Company also holds certain financial
transmission rights (FTRs) related to our participation in MISO. These FTRs are
accounted for as derivatives. While our valuation of these FTRs is based on
Level 3 inputs, the fair value of our FTRs at December 31, 2008, is immaterial,
and as a result we have not presented them in the tables below.</font></div>

long-term debt arrangements contain customary covenants. In addition, our lines
of credit and letters of credit supporting certain long-term debt arrangements
contain financial covenants. The most restrictive covenant requires
ALLETE&#160;to maintain a ratio of its Funded Debt to Total Capital of less than
or equal to 0.65 to 1.00 measured quarterly. As of December 31, 2008 our ratio
was approximately 0.40 to 1.00.&#160;Failure to meet this covenant could give
rise to an event of default, if not corrected after notice from the lender, in
which event ALLETE may need to pursue alternative sources of funding. Some of
ALLETE&#8217;s debt arrangements contain &#8220;cross-default&#8221; provisions that would result
in an event of default if there is a failure under other financing arrangements
to meet payment terms or to observe other covenants that would result in an
acceleration of payments due.</font></div>

Minnesota Power has a power purchase agreement with Square Butte that extends
through 2026 (Agreement). It provides a long-term supply of low-cost energy to
customers in our electric service territory and enables Minnesota Power to meet
power pool reserve requirements. Square Butte, a North Dakota cooperative
corporation, owns a 455-MW coal-fired generating unit (Unit) near Center, North
Dakota. The Unit is adjacent to a generating unit owned by Minnkota Power, a
North Dakota cooperative corporation whose Class A members are also members of
Square Butte. Minnkota Power serves as the operator of the Unit and also
purchases power from Square Butte.</font></div>

Power is obligated to pay its pro&#160;rata share of Square Butte&#8217;s costs based
on Minnesota Power&#8217;s entitlement to Unit output. Minnesota Power&#8217;s payment
obligation will be suspended if Square Butte fails to deliver any power, whether
produced or purchased, for a period of one year. Square Butte&#8217;s fixed costs
consist primarily of debt service. At December&#160;31, 2008, Square Butte had
total debt outstanding of $315.1 million. Total annual debt service for Square
Butte is expected to be approximately $29 million in each of the years 2009
through 2013. Variable operating costs include the price of coal purchased from
BNI Coal, our subsidiary, under a long-term contract.</font></div>

Power&#8217;s cost of power purchased from Square Butte during 2008 was $56.7 million

January 24, 2008, we received a letter from BNSF alleging that the Company
defaulted on a material obligation under the Company&#8217;s Coal Transportation
Agreement (CTA). In the notice, BNSF claimed the Company underpaid approximately

such amount plus interest may result in BNSF&#8217;s termination of the CTA. We
believe we do not owe the amount claimed. On April 1, 2008, to ensure that BNSF
did not attempt to terminate the CTA, we paid under protest the full amount
claimed by BNSF and filed a demand for arbitration of the issue. On April 22,
2008, BNSF filed a counterclaim in the arbitration disputing our position that
we are entitled to a refund from BNSF of $1.5 million plus interest for amounts
that we overpaid for 2007 deliveries. The arbitration is proceeding in

Park District issued $31.8&#160;million of tax-exempt, 5.7% Special Assessment
Bonds, Series 2006, which are payable through property tax assessments on the
land owners over 31 years (by May 1, 2037). The bond proceeds were used to pay
for the construction of a portion of the major infrastructure improvements at
Palm&#160;Coast&#160;Park and to mitigate traffic and environmental impacts. The
bonds are payable from and secured by the revenue derived from assessments
imposed, levied and collected by the Palm Coast Park District. The assessments
represent an allocation of the costs of the improvements, including bond
financing costs, to the lands within the Palm Coast Park District benefiting
from the improvements. The assessments were billed to Palm&#160;Coast&#160;Park
landowners effective November 2007. To the extent that we still own land at the
time of the assessment, in accordance with EITF 91-10, &#8220;Accounting for Special
Assessments and Tax Increment Financing Entities,&#8221; we will incur the cost of our
portion of these assessments, based upon our ownership of benefited property. At
December&#160;31, 2008, we owned 86 percent of the assessable land in the Palm
Coast Park District (86 percent at December 31, 2007). As we sell property, the
obligation to pay special assessments will pass to the new landowners. Under
current accounting rules, these bonds are not reflected as debt on our
consolidated balance sheet.</font></div>

Rights Plan</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">.</font> In
1996, we adopted a rights plan that provides for a dividend distribution of one
preferred share purchase right (Right) to be attached to each share of common
stock. In July 2006, we amended the rights plan to extend the expiration of the
Rights to July 11, 2009. The amendment also provides that the Company may not
consolidate, merge, or sell a majority of its assets or earning power if doing
so would be counter to the intended benefits of the Rights or would result in
the distribution of Rights to the shareholders of the other parties to the
transaction. Finally, the amendment provides for the creation of a committee of
independent directors to annually review the terms and conditions of the amended
rights plan (Rights Plan), as well as to consider whether termination or
modification of the Rights Plan would be in the best interests of the
shareholders and to make a recommendation based on such review to the Board of
Directors.</a></font></div>

Rights, which are currently not exercisable or transferable apart from our
common stock, entitle the holder to purchase one-and-a-half one-hundredths
(three two-hundredths) of a share of ALLETE&#8217;s Junior Serial Preferred
Stock&#160;A, without par value. The purchase price, as defined in the Rights
Plan, remains at $90. These Rights would become exercisable if a person or group
acquires beneficial ownership of 15 percent or more of our common stock or
announces a tender offer which would increase the person&#8217;s or group&#8217;s beneficial
ownership interest to 15 percent or more of our common stock, subject to certain
exceptions. If the 15 percent threshold is met, each Right entitles the holder
(other than the acquiring person or group) to receive, upon payment of the
purchase price, the number of shares of common stock (or, in certain
circumstances, cash, property or other securities of ours) having a market value
equal to twice the exercise price of the Right. If we are acquired in a merger
or business combination, or more than 50 percent of our assets or earning power
are sold, each exercisable Right entitles the holder to receive, upon payment of
the purchase price, the number of shares of common stock of the acquiring or
surviving company having a value equal to twice the exercise price of the Right.
Certain stock acquisitions will also trigger a provision permitting the Board of
Directors to exchange each Right for one share of our common stock.</font></div>

Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FIN 48, &#8220;Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes &#8211; an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.&#8221; As a
result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized a $1.0 million increase in
the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The adoption of FIN 48 also
resulted in a reduction in retained earnings of $0.7 million, a reduction of
deferred tax liabilities of $0.8 million and an increase in accrued interest of
$0.5 million. Subsequent to the implementation of FIN 48, ALLETE&#8217;s gross
unrecognized tax benefits were $10.4 million. Of this total, $6.8 million (net
of federal tax benefit on state issues) represents the amount of unrecognized
tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective income
tax rate.</font></div>

Power and Affiliated Companies Retirement Savings and Stock Ownership Plan

pursuant to the plan, effective as of September&#160;30, 2006, and to close
Retirement Plan A to new participants. Participants will continue to accrue
benefits under the plan for future pay increases. In conjunction with this
change, the Board of Directors took action to increase benefits employees will
receive under the RSOP. The modification of Retirement Plan A required us to
re-measure our pension expense as of August 9, 2006. As a result of the
re-measurement, Retirement Plan&#160;A pension expense for 2006 was reduced by
$0.2 million.</font></div>

The postretirement health plans are contributory with participant contributions

combination of Voluntary Employee Benefit Association trusts (VEBAs),
established under section 501(c)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code, and an
irrevocable grantor trust. Contributions deductible for income tax purposes are
made directly to the VEBAs; nondeductible contributions are made to the
irrevocable grantor trust. Amounts are transferred from the irrevocable grantor
trust to the VEBAs when they become deductible for income tax purposes. In 2008,
$10.1 million was transferred from the grantor trust to the VEBAs ($6.2 million
in 2007; $3.6 million in 2006). In 2008, including the amount transferred from
the grantor trust, we made a total of $13.8 million in contributions to ALLETE&#8217;s

that employers recognize on a prospective basis the funded status of their
defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans on their consolidated
balance sheet and recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of
tax, the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during
the period but that are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit

ALLETE recorded three months of pension expense as a reduction to retained

106-2, &#8220;Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare
Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (Act)&#8221; provides
accounting and disclosure guidance for employers that sponsor postretirement
health care plans that provide prescription drug benefits. FSP 106-2 requires
that the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and postretirement
benefit cost reflect the impact of the Act upon adoption. We provide
postretirement health benefits that include prescription drug benefits which
qualify us for the federal subsidy under the Act. The expected reimbursement for
Medicare health subsidies reduced our after-tax postretirement medical expense
by $1.2 million for 2008 ($2.3 million for 2007; $2.4 million in 2006). In 2005
we enrolled with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services&#8217; (CMS) and began
recovering the subsidy in 2007. We received $0.3 million in 2007 for 2006, and
expect to receive a reimbursement in 2009 for 2007.</font></div>

We sponsor a leveraged employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) within the RSOP. As
of their date of hire, all employees of ALLETE, SWL&amp;P and Minnesota Power
Affiliate Resources are eligible to contribute to the plan. In 1990, the ESOP
issued a $75 million note (term not to exceed 25 years at 10.25 percent) to us
as consideration for 2.8 million shares (1.9 million shares adjusted for stock
splits) of our newly issued common stock. The note was refinanced in 2006 at 6
percent. We make annual contributions to the ESOP equal to the ESOP&#8217;s debt
service less available dividends received by the ESOP. The majority of dividends
received by the ESOP are used to pay debt service, with the balance distributed
to participants. The ESOP shares were initially pledged as collateral for its
debt. As the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated
to participants based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year. As
shares are released from collateral, we report compensation expense equal to the
current market price of the shares less dividends on allocated shares. Dividends
on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings;
available dividends on unallocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of
debt and accrued interest. ESOP compensation expense was $10.3 million in 2008
($9.2 million in 2007; $6.9 million in 2006).</font></div>

The options allow for the purchase of shares of common stock at a price equal to
the market value of our common stock at the date of grant. Options become
exercisable beginning one year after the grant date, with one-third vesting each
year over three years. Options may be exercised up to ten years following the
date of grant. In the case of qualified retirement, death or disability, options
vest immediately and the period over which the options can be exercised is three
years. Employees have up to three months to exercise vested options upon
voluntary termination or involuntary termination without cause. All options are
cancelled upon termination for cause. All options vest immediately upon
retirement, death, disability or a change of control, as defined in the award
agreement. We determine the fair value of options using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model. The estimated fair value of options, including the effect
of estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense on the straight-line basis
over the options&#8217; vesting periods, or the accelerated vesting period if the
employee is retirement eligible.</font></div>

these awards, the number of shares earned is contingent upon attaining specific
performance targets over a three-year performance period. In the case of
qualified retirement, death or disability during a performance period, a
pro-rata portion of the award will be earned at the conclusion of the
performance period based on the performance goals achieved. In the case of
termination of employment for any reason other than qualified retirement, death
or disability, no award will be earned. If there is a change in control, a
pro-rata portion of the award will be paid based on the greater of actual
performance up to the date of the change in control or target performance. The
fair value of these awards is equal to the grant date fair value which is
estimated based upon the assumed share-based payment three years from the date
of grant. Compensation cost is recognized over the three-year performance period

any provisions in this Plan to the contrary, the Committee may withhold any
benefits payable to a beneficiary as a result of the death of the Participant

as (i) the Committee is able to determine whether a generation-skipping transfer
tax, as defined in Chapter 13 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or any
substitute provision therefor, is payable by the Company; and (ii) the Committee
has determined the amount of generation-skipping transfer tax that is due,
including interest thereon. If any such tax is payable, the Committee shall
reduce the benefits otherwise payable hereunder to such beneficiary by the
amount necessary to provide said beneficiary with a benefit equal to the amounts
that would have been payable if the original benefits had been calculated on the
basis of a value for the Participant&#8217;s supplemental account reduced by an amount
equal to the generation-skipping transfer tax and any interest thereon that is
payable as a result of the death in question. The Committee may also withhold

calculated in accordance with the terms of the previous sentence such amounts as
the Committee feels are reasonably necessary to pay additional
generation-skipping transfer tax and interest thereon from amounts initially
calculated to be due. Any amounts so withheld, and not actually paid as a
generation-skipping transfer tax or interest thereon, shall be payable as soon

document includes the terms of the ALLETE and Affiliated Companies Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan II.&#160;&#160;The purpose of SERP II is to provide
eligible Employees (i) an opportunity to elect to defer compensation and (ii) a
supplemental Retirement Benefit, the primary purpose of which is to compensate
for annual compensation limits and maximum benefit limitations imposed by the
Code on Retirement Plans maintained by the Company.&#160;&#160;SERP II is a
successor to the ALLETE and Affiliated Companies Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan (&#8220;SERP I&#8221;).&#160;&#160;On December 31, 2004, the Company froze
SERP I with respect to all deferrals and vested accrued Retirement Benefits (if
any).&#160;&#160;On January 1, 2005, the Company established SERP II to govern
(a) amounts initially deferred after December&#160;31, 2004 and investment
earnings thereon; (b)&#160;Retirement Benefit accruals after December 31, 2004;
and (c) accrued but unvested SERP I Retirement Benefits as of December 31,
2004.&#160;&#160;From January 1, 2005 to the effective date hereof, the Company
operated and administered the Plan in all material respects in good faith
compliance with the applicable requirements of Section 409A, the final and
proposed Treasury Regulations, IRS Notice 2005-1, and all other IRS
guidance.&#160;&#160;The Company now hereby amends and restates SERP II in its
entirety to comply with Section 409A, effective January&#160;1,
2009.&#160;&#160;The Company intends that SERP II constitute an unfunded
deferred compensation plan for a select group of management or highly
compensated employees within the meaning of ERISA sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and
401(a)(1).&#160;&#160;All provisions of SERP II shall be interpreted and
administered to the extent possible in a manner consistent with the stated
intentions.&#160;&#160;Capitalized terms, unless otherwise defined herein, shall
have the meaning provided in Appendix A.</font></div>

administered the Plan in all material respects in good faith compliance with the
