appliance recycling program services to its members is a good indication of the
benefits utilities realize when energy-inefficient appliances are removed from
operation.&#160; We are pleased by the number
of WPPI&#146;s member utilities that have chosen to
participate in the residential appliance recycling program at its onset and are
encouraged by the potential for expansion as additional member utilities
consider adding the program to their mix of energy-efficiency measures.&#160; Wisconsin residents who are given the
opportunity to participate not only save money on their electricity bills, but
also contribute to energy conservation and environmental protection.&#148;</font></p>

These special-buy appliances, which include close-outs, factory overruns and
scratch-and-dent units, typically are not integrated
into the manufacturer&#146;s normal distribution channel. ApplianceSmart
sells these virtually new appliances at a discount to full retail, offers a
100% money-back guarantee and provides warranties on parts and labor. As of December&nbsp;2004,
ApplianceSmart was operating eleven factory outlets:
four in the Minneapolis/St. Paul market; three in the Columbus, Ohio market;
two in the Atlanta market; one in the Los Angeles market; and one in the San
