                  SCHEDULE XIV - NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INSTRUCTIONS: The space below is provided for important notes regarding the
financial statements or any account thereof. Furnish particulars as to any
significant contingent assets or liabilities existing at the end of the year.
Notes relating to financial statements shown elsewhere in this report may be
indicated here by reference.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

         Xcel Energy Services Inc. (XES or the Company) is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Xcel Energy Inc. (Xcel Energy). XES is the service company for
Xcel Energy and its subsidiaries and began its operations effective August 1,
2000. XES provides various administrative, management, environmental and other
support services to Xcel Energy and its subsidiaries, at cost, pursuant to
service agreements approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (PUHCA). The majority of
the services performed by XES for Xcel Energy and its subsidiaries are provided
to Xcel Energy's four major operating utilities, Northern States Power Company,
a Minnesota corporation (NSP-Minnesota), Northern States Power Company, a
Wisconsin corporation (NSP-Wisconsin), Public Service Company of Colorado and
Southwestern Public Service Company.

         On August 18, 2000, New Century Energies, Inc. (NCE) and Northern
States Power Company (NSP) merged and formed Xcel Energy. Each share of NCE
common stock was exchanged for 1.55 shares of Xcel Energy common stock. NSP
shares became Xcel Energy shares on a one-for-one basis. The merger was
structured as a tax-free, stock-for-stock exchange for shareholders of both
companies (except for fractional shares), and accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests. Pursuant to the merger agreement, NCE was merged with and
into NSP. NSP, as the surviving legal corporation, changed its name to Xcel
Energy.

REGULATION

         XES is subject to regulation by the SEC under the PUHCA. XES'
accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. XES maintains its accounts in accordance with the
Uniform System of Accounts Prescribed for Public Utilities and Licensees subject
to the Provisions of the Federal Power Act promulgated by the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission.

USE OF ESTIMATES

         The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         The carrying amount of financial instruments approximates fair value.
Fair values have been determined through information obtained from market
sources and management estimates.



                                                                        Page 14a

INCOME TAXES

         The Company's operations are included in the consolidated Federal
income tax return of Xcel Energy. The allocation of income tax consequences to
the Company, including alternative minimum tax, is calculated under a parent
company policy which provides that benefits or liabilities created by the
Company, computed on a separate return basis, will be allocated to (and paid to
or by) the Company to the extent the benefits are usable or additional
liabilities are incurred in Xcel Energy's consolidated tax returns. Deferred
taxes are provided on temporary differences between the financial accounting and
tax bases of assets and liabilities using the tax rates that are in effect at
the balance sheet date (see Note 6).

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

         The Company uses the intrinsic value based method of accounting for its
stock-based compensation plan.

2. COMMON STOCK

         XES is authorized to issue 1,000 shares of Common Stock at a par value
of one cent ($0.01) per share. As of December 31, 2001, all shares of common
stock were issued and held by Xcel Energy.

3. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

         At December 31, 2001, Xcel Energy had $800 million in credit facilities

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEASING PROGRAMS

normal course of business. The majority of the operating leases are under a
leasing program that has initial noncancelable terms of one year, while the
remaining leases have various terms. These leases may be renewed or replaced. No
material restrictions exist in these leasing agreements concerning dividends,
additional debt, or further leasing. Rental expense for the year ended December

TECHNOLOGY AGREEMENT

         XES has a service agreement that extends through 2011 with
International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) to manage most of XES's
information technology systems and network infrastructure. This service
agreement provides the Company with flexibility as to the amount, type and
quality of service provided by IBM. The contract is cancelable at our option,
although there are financial penalties for early termination. For the year ended

5. BENEFIT PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

PENSIONS

         The Company participates in various tax qualified noncontributory
defined benefit pension plans, which cover substantially all Xcel Energy
employees. At December 31, 2001, there were 16,340 Xcel Energy employees
(including 2,977 Company employees) participating in these plans. Xcel Energy,
as the plan sponsor, has overall responsibility for directly allocating such
costs of each individual plan to each of the participating employers. The plans'
actuary determined this allocation based on benefit obligations for active
participants. Benefits are based on a combination of years of service, the
employee's average pay and Social Security benefits.

         Xcel Energy's policy is to fully fund into an external trust the
actuarially determined pension costs recognized for ratemaking and financial
reporting purposes, subject to the limitations of applicable employee benefit
and tax laws. Plan assets principally consist of the common stock of public
companies, corporate bonds and U.S. government securities.

         Summary information of the actuarially computed benefit obligation,
plan assets, funded status and prepaid pension asset for the Xcel Energy plans
at December 31, 2001 and 2000, is presented in the following table (in
thousands):

         The Company's net periodic pension credit for the year ended December
31, 2001 and for the five months ended December 31, 2000 was $15,903,000 and
$2,894,000, respectively. Significant assumptions used by the Company's actuary
in the determination of these amounts are presented in the following table:



                                                                           2001             2000

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS

         The Company participates in various defined contribution plans, which
cover substantially all Xcel Energy employees. Total contributions to these
plans by Xcel Energy were approximately $29 million and $23 million in 2001 and
2000, respectively.

         Xcel Energy has a leveraged employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) that
covers substantially all employees of the former NSP. Xcel Energy makes
contributions to this noncontributory, defined contribution plan to the extent
we realize a tax savings from dividends paid on certain ESOP shares. ESOP
contributions have no material effect on Xcel Energy earnings because the
contributions are essentially offset by the tax savings provided by the
dividends paid on ESOP shares. Xcel Energy allocates leveraged ESOP shares to
participants when it repays ESOP loans with dividends on stock held by the ESOP.

POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH CARE BENEFITS

         The Company participates in various health and welfare plans
administered by Xcel Energy. Xcel Energy has contributory health and welfare
benefit plans that provide health care and death benefits to most Xcel Energy
retirees. The NSP plan was terminated for nonbargaining employees retiring after
1998 and for bargaining employees after 1999. In conjunction with the 1993
adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 - "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," Xcel Energy elected
to amortize the unrecognized accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
(APBO) on a straight-line basis over 20 years. Plan assets are held in external
funding trusts and principally consist of investments in equity mutual funds,
fixed income securities and cash equivalents.

         Summary information of the actuarially computed benefit obligation,
plan assets, funded status and accrued benefit cost for the Xcel Energy plans at
December 31 is presented in the following table (in thousands):

         The Company's net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year
ended December 31, 2001 and for the five months ended December 31, 2000 was
$2,120,000 and $601,000, respectively. Significant assumptions used by the
Company's actuary in the determination of these amounts are presented in the
following table:



                                                                           2001             2000
                                                                           ----             ----

          Expected average long-term rate of return on assets......            9.0%         8.0-9.5%


         The assumed health care cost trend rate in 2001 is approximately 8.0
percent, decreasing gradually to 5.5 percent in 2007 and remaining level
thereafter. A 1-percent increase in the assumed health care cost trend rate
would increase the Company's total accumulated benefit obligation by
approximately $3,716,000 and the service and interest cost components of net
periodic postretirement benefit costs by approximately $ 338,000. A 1-percent
decrease in the assumed health care cost trend rate will decrease the Company's
total accumulated benefit obligation by approximately $ 3,066,000 and the
service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit
costs by approximately $ 274,000.
