                             EXPLANATORY NOTE


Kentucky Utilities Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A for
the quarterly period ended September 30, 2005, to reflect a correction to
information contained in a single paragraph as described below in Part 1,
Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" ("MD&A") of the original Form 10-Q. For reasons not
understood by the Company, the final version of Kentucky Utility Company's
original Form 10-Q did not agree with the Edgarized version. This
filing modifies the originally filed document to agree with the final
version. Except as described in this Explanatory Note, no other MD&A
information and no other information included in the original Form 10-Q
("Original Filing") is amended hereby.

As reflected in this Form 10-Q/A, the below-excerpted paragraph in KU's
"Results of Operations" for the "Three Months Ended September 30, 2005,
Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2004" contains corrections
to each of the two sub-paragraphs (bullet-points). The paragraph, as
corrected, reads as follows:


  Fuel for electric generation increased $40.3 million (52%) in 2005
  primarily due to:

      -  Increased cost per Btu (36% higher), resulting in $31.2 million
	 higher fuel costs. Fuel costs are significantly higher due to
	 the MISO's dispatch of gas-fired units committed by the MISO's
	 Reliability Assessment and Commitment process in the real-time
	 market.
      -  Increased generation (12%) higher, resulting in $9.0 million
	 higher fuel costs, primarily due to higher dispatch of gas-fired
	 units


While this combined Form 10-Q/A contains information relating to Louisville
Gas and Electric Company due to the combined nature of its reporting
documents and process with its sister company, KU, no change or amendment
is hereby made to any LG&E information or items contained in that company's
original Form 10-Q.

Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as a
result of this Amendment No. 1, the certifications of our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by Sections 302 and 906 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which were filed and furnished, respectively,
as exhibits to the Original Filing, have been re-executed and re-filed and
re-furnished, respectively, as of the date of this Form 10Q/A and are
attached to Amendment No. 1 as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 31.3, 31.4 and 32,
respectively.

For the convenience of the reader, Amendment No. 1 sets forth the Original
Filing in its entirety. However, except as described above, no other
information in the Original Filing is amended hereby. This Amendment No. 1
does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing
or modify or update those disclosures in any way other than as required to
reflect the amendments as described above and set forth below.

                      Notes to Financial Statements
                               (Unaudited)

1. General

   The unaudited financial statements include the accounts of LG&E and KU.
   The common stock of each of LG&E and KU is wholly-owned by LG&E Energy.
   In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed interim financial
   statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
   adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of financial position,
   results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the
   periods indicated. Certain information and footnote disclosures
   normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
   generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
   pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although the Companies believe
   that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
   misleading.

   See LG&E's and KU's Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended
   December 31, 2004, for information relevant to the accompanying
   financial statements, including information as to the significant
   accounting policies of the Companies.

   During the second quarter of 2005, LG&E and KU made out-of-period
   adjustments for estimated over/under collection of ECR revenues to be
   billed in subsequent periods. The adjustments were immaterial during
   all reporting periods involved (March 2003 through October 2004 for
   LG&E and May 2003 through January 2005 for KU). As a result, year-to-
   date LG&E revenues were increased $4.8 million and KU revenues were
   decreased $2.4 million. Year-to-date net income was increased $2.9
   million for LG&E and was reduced $1.5 million for KU.

   During the third quarter of 2005, LG&E and KU reclassified RSGMWP from
   other operation and maintenance expenses to other revenue to better
   reflect this revenue as part of the sales price paid by MISO. As a
   result, LG&E's revenues and expenses increased $12.6 million and KU's
   revenues and expenses increased $3.1 million.  Also, during the third
   quarter, the estimated allocation of RSGMWP between LG&E and KU was
   revised based on better information about the percent of generation
   contributed for the hour(s) the make whole payment was received. As a
   result, LG&E revenues were decreased $6.7 million and KU revenues were
   increased $6.7 million in the current period results of operations. Net
   income in the current period was decreased $4.0 million for LG&E and
   was increased $4.0 million for KU.

   The accompanying financial statements for the three months and nine
   months ended September 30, 2004, have been revised to conform to
   certain reclassifications in the current three months and nine months
   ended September 30, 2005. These reclassifications had no impact on net
   assets or net income, as previously reported.

   LG&E and KU net operating income previously reported for the three
   months ended September 30, 2004, increased by $21.1 million and $19.5
   million, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, increased by
   $45.5 million and $58.1 million, respectively, because the income
   statement presentation was changed in 2005 to report income tax expense
   in the category Federal and State income taxes, which appears just
   before net income. LG&E other(income)expense - net previously reported
   for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004,
   increased $0.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively, as a result of
   the reclassification. KU other income - net decreased $0.9 million and
   $2.5 million, respectively, as a result of the reclassification.

2. Mergers and Acquisitions

   On July 1, 2002, E.ON completed its acquisition of Powergen, including
   LG&E Energy, for approximately 5.1 billion pounds sterling ($7.3
   billion). As a result of the acquisition, LG&E Energy became a
   wholly-owned subsidiary of E.ON and, as a result, LG&E and KU also
   became indirect subsidiaries of E.ON. LG&E and KU have continued
   their separate identities and serve customers under their existing
   names. The preferred stock and debt securities of LG&E and KU were
   not affected by this transaction and the utilities continue to file
   SEC reports. Following the acquisition, E.ON became a registered
   holding company under PUHCA (for discussion of recent changes to PUHCA,
   see EPAct 2005 under Note 5). LG&E and KU, as subsidiaries of a
   registered holding company, are subject to additional regulations under
   PUHCA. In March 2003, E.ON, Powergen and LG&E Energy completed an
   administrative reorganization to move the LG&E Energy group from an
   indirect Powergen subsidiary to an indirect E.ON subsidiary. In early
   2004, LG&E Energy commenced direct reporting arrangements to E.ON.

3. Financial Instruments

   The Companies use interest rate swaps to hedge exposure to market
   fluctuations in certain of their debt instruments. Pursuant to the
   Companies' policies, use of these financial instruments is intended to
   mitigate risk, earnings and cash flow volatility and is not speculative
   in nature. Management has designated all of the Companies' interest
   rate swaps as hedge instruments. Financial instruments designated as
   cash flow hedges have resulting gains and losses recorded within other
   comprehensive income and stockholders' equity. To the extent a
   financial instrument designated as a cash flow hedge or the underlying
   item being hedged is prematurely terminated or the hedge becomes
   ineffective, the resulting gains or losses are reclassified from other
   comprehensive income to net income. Financial instruments designated as
   fair value hedges are periodically marked to market with the resulting
   gains and losses recorded directly into net income to correspond with
   income or expense recognized from changes in market value of the items
   being hedged.

   As of September 30, 2005, LG&E was party to various interest rate swap
   agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $211.3 million. Under
   these swap agreements, LG&E paid fixed rates averaging 4.38% and
   received variable rates based on LIBOR or the Bond Market Association's
   municipal swap index averaging 2.61% at September 30, 2005. The swap
   agreements in effect at September 30, 2005, have been designated as
   cash flow hedges and mature on dates ranging from 2020 to 2033. The
   hedges have been deemed to be fully effective resulting in a pretax
   gain of $8.4 million and a pretax loss of $1.7 million for the three
   months and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, recorded
   in other comprehensive income. Upon expiration of these hedges, the
   amount recorded in other comprehensive income will be reclassified into
   earnings. The amount expected to be reclassified from other
   comprehensive income to earnings in the next twelve months is
   immaterial. A deposit in the amount of $12.2 million, used as
   collateral for an $83.3 million interest rate swap, is classified as
   restricted cash on LG&E's balance sheet. The amount of the deposit
   required is tied to the market value of the swap.

   In February 2005, an LG&E interest rate swap with a notional amount of
   $17 million matured. The swap was fully effective upon expiration. As a
   result, the impact on earnings and other comprehensive income from the
   swap maturity was less than $0.1 million.

   As of September 30, 2005, KU was party to one interest rate swap
   agreement with a notional amount of $53.0 million. Under this swap
   agreement, KU paid a variable rate based on the LIBOR index of 5.86%,
   and received a fixed rate of 7.92% at September 30, 2005. The swap
   agreement in effect at September 30, 2005 has been designated as a fair
   value hedge and matures in 2007. During the three months and nine
   months ended September 30, 2005, the effect of marking this financial
   instrument and the underlying debt to market resulted in pretax gains
   of $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively, recorded in interest
   expense, as required under SFAS No. 133 to recognize fair value hedge
   effectiveness.

   In June 2005, a KU interest rate swap with a notional amount of $50
   million was terminated by the counterparty pursuant to the terms of the
   swap agreement. KU received a payment of $1.9 million in consideration
   for the termination of the agreement. KU also called the underlying
   debt (First Mortgage Bond Series R) and paid a call premium of $1.9
   million. The swap was fully effective upon termination. No impact on
   earnings occurred as a result of the bond call and related swap
   termination.

   Interest rate swaps hedge interest rate risk on the underlying debt.
   Under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
   Activities, in addition to swaps being marked to market, the item being
   hedged using a fair value hedge must also be marked to market.
   Consequently at September 30, 2005, KU's debt reflects a $2.7 million
   mark-to-market adjustment.

   therefore, is presented as a single business segment.

   LG&E currently earns a return on all regulatory assets except for gas
   supply adjustments, ESM, FAC, ECR and gas performance based ratemaking,
   all of which are separate rate mechanisms with recovery within twelve
   months. Additionally, no current return is earned on the ARO regulatory
   asset. This regulatory asset will be offset against the associated
   regulatory liability, ARO asset and ARO liability at the time the
   underlying asset is removed.

   Due to a 2005 reduction in Kentucky's corporate income tax rate, LG&E
   and KU established additional regulatory liabilities in accordance with
   SFAS No. 71 for their excess state deferred income tax balances related
   to depreciation. In June 2005, LG&E and KU each received orders from
   the Kentucky Commission authorizing this treatment.

   The following regulatory assets and liabilities were included in KU's
   balance sheets as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004:

                        Kentucky Utilities Company

     Total regulatory liabilities             $317.9         $291.5

   KU currently earns a return on all regulatory assets except for ESM,
   FAC, and ECR, all of which are separate recovery mechanisms with
   recovery within twelve months. Additionally, no current return is
   earned on the ARO regulatory asset. This regulatory asset will be
   offset against the associated regulatory liability, ARO asset and ARO
   liability at the time the underlying asset is removed.

   Based on an order from the Kentucky Commission in September 2004, KU
   reclassified from maintenance expense to a regulatory asset, $4.0
   million related to costs not reimbursed from the 2003 ice storm. These
   costs will be amortized through June 2009. These amortized costs, which
   are included in KU's jurisdictional operating expenses, are recovered
   in base rates.

   Due to a 2005 reduction in Kentucky's corporate income tax rate, LG&E
   and KU established additional regulatory liabilities in accordance with
   SFAS No. 71 for their excess state deferred income tax balances related
   to depreciation. In June 2005, LG&E and KU each received orders from
   the Kentucky Commission authorizing this treatment.


   ELECTRIC AND GAS RATE CASES

   On June 30, 2004, the Kentucky Commission issued an order approving an
   increase in the base electric rates of LG&E and KU and the gas rates of
   LG&E. The rate increases took effect on July 1, 2004.

   During July 2004, the Attorney General of Kentucky (AG) served
   subpoenas on LG&E and KU, as well as on the Kentucky Commission and its
   staff, requesting information regarding alleged improper communications
   between LG&E and KU and the Kentucky Commission. The Kentucky
   Commission procedurally reopened the rate case for the limited purpose
   of taking evidence, if any, as to the communication issues. In
   September and October 2004, various proceedings were held in circuit
   courts in Franklin and Jefferson Counties, Kentucky, regarding the
   scope and timing of document production or other information required
   or agreed to be produced under the AG's subpoenas and matters were
   consolidated into the Franklin County court.

   In January 2005, the AG conducted interviews of certain employees of
   LG&E and KU and submitted its report to the Franklin County, Kentucky
   Circuit Court in confidence. Concurrently, the AG filed a motion
   summarizing the report as containing evidence of improper
   communications and record-keeping errors by LG&E and KU in their
   conduct of activities before the Kentucky Commission or other state
   governmental entities, and requesting release of the report to such
   agencies. During February 2005, the court ruled that the report would
   be forwarded to the Kentucky Commission under continued confidential
   treatment to allow it to consider the report, including its impact, if
   any, on completing its investigation and any remaining steps in the
   rate case, including ending the current abeyance. To date, LG&E and KU
   have neither seen nor requested copies of the report or its contents.
   During Spring 2005, LG&E and KU responded to additional information
   requests from the AG. LG&E and KU have also responded to investigative
   requests for information from the Kentucky Commission.

   LG&E and KU believe no improprieties have occurred in their
   communications with the Kentucky Commission and are cooperating with
   the proceedings before the AG and the Kentucky Commission.

   LG&E and KU are currently unable to determine the ultimate impact of,
   if any, or any possible future actions of the AG or the Kentucky
   Commission arising out of the AG's report and investigation, including
   whether there will be further actions to appeal, review or otherwise
   challenge the granted increases in base rates.

   VDT

   The current five-year VDT amortization period is scheduled to expire in
   March 2006. As part of the settlement agreements in the electric and
   gas rate cases, LG&E and KU are required to file with the Kentucky
   Commission a plan for the future ratemaking treatment of the VDT
   surcredits and costs six months prior to the March 2006 expiration. The
   surcredit shall remain in effect following the expiration of the fifth
   year unless and until the Commission enters an order on the future
   disposition of VDT-related issues. On September 30, 2005, LG&E and KU
   filed a plan with the Kentucky Commission in accordance with the
   requirements of the settlement agreement calling for termination of the
   VDT surcredit effective upon the expiration of the fifth year. The AG
   and KIUC were granted intervention in the VDT proceedings. A procedural
   schedule has been established for discovery and rebuttal testimony but
   no public hearing has been scheduled yet.

   ECR

   In December 2004, KU and LG&E filed applications with the Kentucky
   Commission for approval of a CCN to construct new SO2 control
   technology (FGDs) at KU's Ghent and Brown stations, and to amend LG&E's
   and KU's compliance plans to allow recovery of new and additional
   environmental compliance facilities. The estimated capital cost of the
   additional facilities is $742.7 million ($40.2 million for LG&E and
   $702.5 million for KU), of which $658.9 million is for the FGDs.
   Hearings in these cases occurred during May 2005 and final orders were
   issued in June 2005, granting approval of the CCN and amendments to
   LG&E's and KU's compliance plans.

   During the second quarter of 2005, LG&E and KU made out-of-period
   adjustments for estimated over/under collection of ECR revenues to be
   billed in subsequent periods. The adjustments were immaterial during
   all reporting periods involved (March 2003 through October 2004 for
   LG&E and May 2003 through January 2005 for KU). As a result, year-to-
   date LG&E revenues were increased $4.8 million and KU revenues were
   decreased $2.4 million. Year-to-date net income was increased $2.9
   million for LG&E and was reduced $1.5 million for KU.

   IRP

   In April 2005, LG&E and KU filed their 2005 Joint Integrated Resource
   Plan (IRP) with the Kentucky Commission. The IRP is filed triennially
   and provides historical and projected demand, resource, and financial
   data, and other operating performance and system information. The AG
   and the KIUC were granted intervention in the IRP proceeding. Discovery
   is complete and an informal conference has not yet been scheduled.

   MISO

   The MISO implemented a day-ahead and real-time market (MISO Day 2),
   including a congestion management system, in April 2005. This system is
   similar to the LMP system currently used by the PJM RTO and
   contemplated in FERC's SMD NOPR. The MISO filed with FERC a mechanism
   for recovery of costs for the congestion management system proposing
   the addition of two new Schedules, 16 and 17. Schedule 16 is the MISO's
   cost recovery mechanism for the Financial Transmission Rights
   Administrative Service it provides. Schedule 17 is the MISO's mechanism
   for recovering costs it incurs for providing Energy Marketing Support
   Administrative Service. The MISO transmission owners, including LG&E
   and KU, objected to the allocation of these regional market-related
   costs among market participants and retail native load. FERC ruled in
   2004 in favor of the MISO.

   The Kentucky Commission opened an investigation into LG&E and KU's
   memberships in the MISO in July 2003. The Kentucky Commission directed
   LG&E and KU to file testimony addressing the costs and benefits of the
   MISO membership both currently and over the next five years and other
   legal issues surrounding continued membership. LG&E and KU engaged an
   independent third-party to conduct a cost-benefit analysis on this
   issue.  The information was filed with the Kentucky Commission in
   September 2003. The analysis and testimony supported the Companies'
   exit from the MISO, under certain conditions. The MISO filed its own
   testimony and cost benefit analysis in December 2003.  The Kentucky
   Commission requested additional testimony on the MISO's Market Tariff
   filing. This additional testimony was received and a hearing before the
   Kentucky Commission was held in July 2005. Additional post-hearing data
   requests were submitted in September with an order expected in the
   first half of 2006.

   Should LG&E and KU be ordered to exit the MISO, an aggregate exit fee
   up to $41 million could be imposed, depending on the timing and
   circumstances of actual withdrawal. While LG&E and KU believe legal and
   regulatory precedent should permit most or many of the MISO-related
   costs to be recovered in their rates charged to customers, they can
   give no assurance that state or federal regulators will ultimately
   agree with such position with respect to all costs, components or
   timing of recovery. In April 2005, the Kentucky Commission issued an
   order declining an LG&E and KU request for an automatic monthly
   recovery mechanism for certain MISO-related costs and benefits.

   On October 7, 2005, LG&E and KU filed an application with the FERC
   seeking the requisite authority to exit the MISO. This proceeding is
   expected to continue into 2006.

   At this time, LG&E and KU cannot predict the outcome or effects of the
   various Kentucky Commission and FERC proceedings described above,
   including whether such proceedings will have a material impact on the
   financial condition or results of operations of the Companies. Further,
   ultimate financial consequences (changes in transmission revenues and
   costs) associated with the April 2005 implementation of transmission
   day-ahead and real-time market tariff charges are subject to varying
   assumptions and calculations and are therefore difficult to estimate.
   Changes in revenues and costs related to broader shifts in energy
   market practices and economics are not currently estimable.

   EPAct 2005

   EPAct 2005 was enacted on August 8, 2005. Among other matters, this
   comprehensive legislation contains provisions mandating improved
   electric reliability standards and performance; providing economic and
   other incentives relating to transmission, pollution control and
   renewable generation assets; increasing funding for clean coal
   generation incentives; and repealing the Public Utility Holding Company
   Act of 1935.

   The FERC was directed by the EPAct 2005 to adopt rules to address many
   areas previously regulated by the other agencies under other statutes,
   including PUHCA. The FERC is in various stages of rulemaking on these
   issues and the Companies are monitoring these rulemaking activities and
   actively participating in these and other rulemaking proceedings. The
   Companies are still evaluating the potential impacts of the EPAct 2005
   and the associated rulemakings and cannot predict what impact the EPAct
   2005, and any such rulemakings, will have on their operations or
   financial position.

   FERC SMD NOPR

   In July 2002, the FERC issued a NOPR which would substantially alter
   the regulations governing the nation's wholesale electricity markets by
   establishing a common set of rules, known as SMD. The SMD NOPR would
   require each public utility that owns, operates, or controls interstate
   transmission facilities to become an ITP, belong to an RTO that is an
   ITP, or contract with an ITP for operation of its transmission assets.
   It would also establish a standardized congestion management system,
   real-time and day-ahead energy markets, and a single transmission
   service for network and point-to-point transmission customers.  On July
   19, 2005, the FERC issued an order terminating the SMD proceeding. FERC
   noted that the industry has made significant progress in the voluntary
   development of the RTO/ITP functions and asserted its intent to
   consider revisions to the Order 888 pro-forma Open Access Transmission
   Tariffs to reflect the current experience with open transmission over
   the last decade.

   KENTUCKY COMMISSION STRATEGIC BLUEPRINT

   In February 2005, Kentucky's Governor signed an executive order
   directing the Kentucky Commission, in conjunction with the Commerce
   Cabinet and the Environmental and Public Protection Cabinet, to develop
   a Strategic Blueprint for the continued use and development of electric
   energy. This Strategic Blueprint will be designed to promote future
   investment in electric infrastructure for the Commonwealth of Kentucky,
   to protect Kentucky's low-cost electric advantage, to maintain
   affordable rates for all Kentuckians, and to preserve Kentucky's
   commitment to environmental protection. In March 2005, the Kentucky
   Commission established Administrative Case No. 2005-00090 to collect
   information from all jurisdictional utilities in Kentucky, including
   LG&E and KU, pertaining to Kentucky electric generation, transmission
   and distribution systems. LG&E and KU responded to the Kentucky
   Commission's first set of data requests at the end of March 2005 and to
   a second set of data requests in May 2005. The Commission held a
   Technical Conference on June 14, 2005, in which all parties
   participated in a panel discussion. A final report was provided on
   August 22, 2005 from the Kentucky Commission to the Governor. Some of
   the key findings are that (1)Kentucky's electric utilities currently
   have adequate infrastructure as well as adequate planning to serve the
   needs of customers through 2025, (2) Kentucky will need 7,000 megawatts
   of additional generating capacity by 2025, (3) Kentucky's electric
   transmission is reliable but intrastate power transfers are limited,
   (4) additional incentives to use renewable energy and educate the
   public on the benefits of renewables are needed, (5) financial
   incentives should be available for coal gasification and other clean
   air technologies, (6) cautious approach should be taken towards
   deregulation, and (7) Kentucky must be involved in federal decisions
   that impact its status as a low cost energy provider.

   LOCK 7

   On September 27, 2005, KU filed an application with FERC seeking
   authority to transfer the operating license for the Lock 7
   Hydroelectric Station, a 2.04 Mw facility, from KU to the Lock 7 Hydro
   Partners, LLC, an unaffiliated third party, for less than $0.1 million.
   On September 28, 2005, KU filed an application with the Kentucky
   Commission seeking: 1) a determination that Kentucky Commission
   approval is not required for the transfer of the Lock 7 Hydroelectric
   Station or 2) Kentucky Commission approval, pursuant to a Kentucky
   Commission order in Case No. 2005-00405, to sell any real property
   associated with the Lock 7 Hydroelectric Station to Lock 7 Hydro
   Partners, LLC. These proceedings are expected to conclude in 2005.


6. Income and Other Taxes

   On September 19, 2005, E.ON U.S. Investments Corp., the parent of LG&E
   Energy, LG&E and KU, received notice from the Congressional Joint
   Committee on Taxation approving the Internal Revenue Service's audit of
   the Companies' income tax returns for the periods December 1999 through
   December 2003. As a result of this audit, LG&E and KU released income
   tax reserves of $5.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively.

   During the quarter, KU recognized additional deferred tax expense ($3.1
   million) related to the undistributed earnings of its EEI
   unconsolidated investment. Recent EEI management decisions regarding
   changes in the distribution of EEI's earnings led to the decision to
   provide deferred taxes for all book and tax basis differences in this
   investment.

   Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for
   income taxes, and there are many transactions for which the ultimate
   tax outcome is uncertain. To provide for these uncertainties
   or exposures, LG&E and KU maintain an allowance for tax contingencies,
   the balance of which management believes is adequate. Tax contingencies
   are analyzed periodically and adjustments are made when events occur to
   warrant a change.

   LG&E's Kentucky sales and use tax audit for the periods October 1, 1997
   through December 31, 2001 resulted in an initial assessment of $1.1
   million.  LG&E filed a protest on July 22, 2005, stating that no
   additional tax was due and that LG&E was owed a refund. At Kentucky's
   request, the Company has provided additional information to supplement
   the initial protest. This audit assessment is not expected to have a
   material adverse impact on the Company.

   KU is also being audited by the Kentucky Department of Revenue. This
   audit began on September 19, 2005 and covers the period August 1, 2000
   through July 31, 2005. At this time there are no proposed adjustments.

   The results of the audit assessments described above and any future
   audits by taxing authorities could have a material effect on quarterly
   or annual cash flows as well as results of operations. However, LG&E
   and KU do not believe any existing matters will have a material adverse
   effect on their results of operations.

7. New Accounting Pronouncements

   FSP 109-1

   In December 2004, the FASB finalized FSP 109-1, Accounting for Income
   Taxes, Application of SFAS No. 109 to the Tax Deduction on Qualified
   Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of
   2004, which requires the tax deduction on qualified production
   activities to be treated as a special deduction in accordance with SFAS
   No. 109. FSP 109-1 became effective December 21, 2004. For the nine
   months ended September 30, 2005, LG&E and KU recognized $1.2 million
   and $0.6 million, respectively, in tax benefits related to this
   deduction.

   FIN 47

   In March 2005, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board
   Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement
   Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (FIN 47). FIN
   47 clarifies that the term "conditional asset retirement obligation" as
   used in SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,
   refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in
   which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a
   future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity.
   The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is
   unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or
   method of settlement. An entity is required to recognize a liability
   for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the
   fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The fair value
   of a liability for the conditional asset retirement obligation should
   be recognized when incurred; generally, upon acquisition, construction,
   or development and through the normal operation of the asset. FIN 47 is
   effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December
   15, 2005. LG&E and KU are currently evaluating the impact of this
   pronouncement.

8. Short-Term and Long-Term Debt

   Under the provisions for LG&E's variable-rate pollution control bonds,
   Series S, T, U, BB, CC, DD and EE, and KU's variable-rate pollution
   control bonds Series 10, 12, 13, 14, and 15, the bonds are subject to
   tender for purchase at the option of the holder and to mandatory tender
   for purchase upon the occurrence of certain events, causing the bonds
   to be classified as current portion of long-term debt in the Balance
   Sheets. The average annualized interest rate for these bonds during the
   three and nine months ending September 30, 2005 was 2.63% and 2.36%,
   respectively, for LG&E and 2.59% and 2.40%, respectively, for KU.

   During June 2005, LG&E renewed five revolving lines of credit with
   banks totaling $185 million. There was no outstanding balance under any
   of these facilities at September 30, 2005. The Company expects to renew
   these facilities prior to their expiration in June 2006.

   LG&E, KU and LG&E Energy participate in an intercompany money pool
   agreement. Details of the balances at September 30, 2005, and September
   30, 2004, were as follows:


                    Total Money      Amount     Balance      Average
   ($ in millions) Pool Available Outstanding  Available  Interest Rate
   September 30, 2005:
   LG&E               $400.0         $56.6      $343.4         3.64%
   KU                 $400.0         $31.8      $368.2         3.64%

   September 30, 2004:
   LG&E               $400.0         $40.7      $359.3         1.60%
   KU                 $400.0         $29.8      $370.2         1.60%

   LG&E Energy maintains a revolving credit facility totaling $200 million
   with an affiliated company, E.ON North America, Inc., to ensure funding
   availability for the money pool. The balance outstanding on this
   facility at September 30, 2005, was $65.4 million.

9. Related-Party Transactions

   LG&E, KU, subsidiaries of LG&E Energy and other subsidiaries of E.ON
   engage in related-party transactions. Transactions among LG&E, KU and
   LG&E Energy subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation of LG&E
   Energy. Transactions between LG&E or KU and E.ON subsidiaries are
   eliminated upon consolidation of E.ON. These transactions are generally
   performed at cost and are in accordance with the SEC regulations under
   the PUHCA and the applicable Kentucky Commission regulations (for
   discussion of recent changes to PUHCA, see EPAct 2005 under Note 5).
   Accounts payable to and receivable from related parties are netted and
   presented as accounts payable to affiliated companies on the balance
   sheets of LG&E and KU, as allowed due to the right of offset.
   Obligations related to intercompany debt arrangements with LG&E Energy
   and Fidelia, an E.ON affiliate, are presented as separate line items on
   the balance sheet, as appropriate. The significant related-party
   transactions are disclosed below.

10.Commitments and Contingencies

   Except as may be discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
   (including Note 5), material changes have not occurred in the current
   status of various commitments or contingent liabilities from that
   discussed in the Companies' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
   ended December 31, 2004 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the
   three months ended March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005. See Notes 3 and 11
   to the Companies' Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 10 to the
   Companies' Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended
   March 31, 2005, and June 30, 2005, for information regarding such
   commitments or contingencies.

   LITIGATION

   In May 2004, OMU commenced litigation against KU concerning a long-term
   power supply contract. KU filed counterclaims against OMU. To date, OMU
   has claimed approximately $6 million in damages for periods through
   early 2004, and is expected to claim further amounts for later-
   occurring periods. OMU has additionally requested injunctive and other
   relief, including a declaration that KU is in material breach of the
   contract. In March 2005, the FERC denied a rehearing request by KU
   regarding the FERC's December 2004 decision to decline to exercise
   exclusive jurisdiction regarding certain issues in dispute. In July
   2005, the district court resolved a summary judgment motion of KU in
   OMU's favor, ruling that a contractual provision grants OMU the ability
   to terminate the contract without cause upon 4 years' prior notice. OMU
   filed a motion seeking to make that ruling "final and appealable." In
   October 2005, however, the Court denied OMU's motion. This case is
   otherwise currently in the discovery stage and a trial schedule has not
   yet been established.

   ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

   LG&E and KU are subject to SO2 and NOX emission limits on their
   electric generating units pursuant to the Clean Air Act. LG&E and KU
   placed into operation significant NOX controls for their generating
   units prior to the 2004 Summer Ozone Season. As of December 31, 2004,
   LG&E and KU incurred total capital costs of approximately $186 million
   and $219 million, respectively, to reduce their NOX emissions below
   required levels. In addition, LG&E and KU incur additional operating
   and maintenance costs in operating the new NOX controls.

   On March 10, 2005, EPA issued the final Clean Air Interstate Rule
   (CAIR) which requires substantial additional reductions in SO2 and NOX
   emissions from electric generating units. The CAIR rule provides for a
   two-phased reduction program with Phase I reductions in NOX and SO2
   emissions in 2009 and 2010, respectively, and Phase II reductions in
   2015. On March 15, 2005, EPA issued a related regulation, the final
   Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR), which requires substantial mercury
   reductions from electric generating units. CAMR also provides for a two-
   phased reduction, with the Phase I target in 2010 achieved as a "co-
   benefit" of the controls installed to meet CAIR. Additional control
   measures will be required to meet the Phase II target in 2018. Both
   CAIR and CAMR establish a cap and trade framework, in which a limit is
   set on the total amount of emissions and allowances that can be bought
   or sold on the open market, that can be used for compliance unless the
   state chooses another approach.

   In order to meet these new regulatory requirements, KU has implemented
   a plan for adding significant additional SO2 controls to its generating
   units. Installation of additional SO2 controls will proceed on a phased
   basis, with construction of controls (i.e., FGDs) having commenced in
   September 2005 and continuing through the final installation and
   operation in 2009. KU estimates that it will incur $658.9 million in
   capital costs related to the construction of the FGDs to achieve
   compliance with current emission limits on a company-wide basis. In
   addition, KU will incur additional operating and maintenance costs in
   operating the new SO2 controls. LG&E currently has FGDs on all its
   units but will continue to evaluate improvements to further reduce SO2
   emissions.

   LG&E and KU are also monitoring several other air quality matters which
   may potentially impact coal-fired power plants, including EPA's revised
   air quality standards for ozone and particulate matter, and measures to
   implement EPA's regional haze rule.

   After extensive negotiations between KU and the EPA and Department of
   Justice, the government filed a consent decree in U. S. District Court
   on October 13, 2005, that would resolve alleged violations relating to
   oil spills at the E.W. Brown plant occurring in October 1999 and
   January 2001. Under the terms of the settlement, KU would pay a civil
   penalty of $0.2 million (which has been accrued), construct a
   supplemental environmental project at a cost of $0.8 million, and
   maintain that project for ten years at a cost of $0.4 million. After
   reviewing any public comments, the Court will consider entry of the
   consent decree.

   From time to time, LG&E and KU have conducted negotiations with the
   relevant regulatory authorities to address various environmental-
   related matters, including: remedial measures aimed at controlling
   particulate matter emissions from LG&E's Mill Creek plant; liability
   for cleanup of off-site facilities that allegedly handled materials
   associated with company operations; and investigation and cleanup of
   company properties including former LG&E and KU MGP sites. Based on
   negotiations to date, management does not anticipate that any of the
   liabilities arising out of any of these matters will have a material
   adverse affect on LG&E's or KU's financial position or results of
   operations.

   In the normal course of business, lawsuits, claims, environmental
   actions, and various non-ratemaking governmental proceedings arise
   against LG&E and KU. To the extent that damages are assessed in any of
   these lawsuits, LG&E and KU believe that their insurance coverage or
   other appropriate reserves are adequate.  Management, after
   consultation with legal counsel, and based upon the present status of
   these items, does not anticipate that liabilities arising out of other
   currently pending or threatened lawsuits and claims of the type
   referenced above will have a material adverse effect on LG&E's or KU's
   financial position or results of operations.

   EEI CONTRACT

   KU owns 20% of the common stock of EEI, which owns and operates a 1,000-
   Mw generating station in southern Illinois. KU presently purchases 20%
   of the available capacity and energy of the station. Purchases from EEI
   are made under a contractual formula which has resulted in costs which
   were and are expected to be comparable to the cost of other power
   generated by KU. This contract governing the purchases from EEI will
   terminate on December 31, 2005. Such power equated to approximately 10%
   of KU's net generation system output in 2004 and for the nine months of
   2005. Discussions are on-going related to the extension or replacement
   of the contract, including whether any such future contract will be at
   cost or market-based rates, and whether the purchasing party will
   continue to be the shareholding utility, such as KU. The outcome of
   such discussions cannot be predicted at this time. However, EEI has
   filed for authority from FERC for EEI to sell its output at market-
   based rates, and management of EEI has indicated to KU that future
   power offers by EEI will be made only at market based prices.

   E W BROWN FIRE

   On September 12, 2005, a fire occurred at KU's E.W. Brown unit 3
   resulting in damage to the switchgear and computer room. The total of
   the repair and replacement costs of damaged equipment is approximately
   $3.3 million, approximately $0.3 million of which will be covered by
   insurance. Net operating income at KU is expected to be reduced by
   approximately $7.4 million due to increased purchased power costs not
   covered by the FAC, and potential losses of off-system sales revenue
   due to the outage.

11.Pension and Other Post-retirement Benefit Plans

   In January 2004, LG&E and KU made discretionary contributions to the
   pension plans of $34.5 million and $43.4 million, respectively. No
   discretionary contributions to the pension plans are currently
   anticipated for either LG&E or KU for 2005. LG&E and KU contributed
   $0.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively, to their other post-
   retirement benefit plans during the second quarter of 2005.

12.Subsequent Events

   On October 24, 2005, KU redeemed all outstanding shares of preferred
   stock. The Company paid $101 per share for the 4.75% Series and
   $102.939 per share for the 6.53% Series.

   On October 27, 2005, LG&E received an order issuing a new license to
   upgrade, operate and maintain the Ohio Falls Hydroelectric Project from
   the FERC. The license is issued to LG&E for a period of 40 years,
   effective November 11, 2005. LG&E intends to spend approximately $75
   million to refurbish the facility and add approximately 20 Mw of
   generating capacity.

   On November 1, 2005, the Kentucky Commission approved the application
   of LG&E and KU to expand the Trimble County electric generating
   plant. The Companies plan to construct a 750-megawatt coal-fired
   generating unit at the plant. The unit is expected to cost about $1.1
   billion and be completed by 2010. LG&E's and KU's share of LG&E
   Energy's total capital cost of $885 million for Trimble County Unit 2
   is estimated to be $168 million and $717 million, respectively, through
   2010.  The Companies have not yet entered into final construction
   contracts.  The Companies also need to obtain approval from the
   Kentucky State Board on Electric Generation and Transmission Siting, as
   well as obtain the air permit from the Kentucky Department of Air
   Quality, both of which are expected by the end of November 2005.  In
   September 2005, the Kentucky Commission approved one of three
   transmission facilities for the additional Trimble County unit.  The
   Companies expect to refile the applications for the remaining two
   transmission facilities in the fourth quarter.



   Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
   and Results of Operations.

                                  General

The following discussion and analysis by management focuses on those
factors that had a material effect on LG&E's and KU's financial results of
operations and financial condition during the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2005, and should be read in connection with the
financial statements and notes thereto.

Some of the following discussion may contain forward-looking statements
that are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Such
forward-looking statements are intended to be identified in this document
by the words "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," "objective," "possible,"
"potential" and similar expressions. Actual results may vary materially.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include:
general economic conditions; business and competitive conditions in the
energy industry; changes in federal or state legislation; unusual weather;
actions by state or federal regulatory agencies; and other factors
described from time to time in LG&E's and KU's reports to the SEC,
including the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2004.

                             Executive Summary

LG&E and KU, subsidiaries of LG&E Energy (an indirect subsidiary of E.ON),
are regulated public utilities. LG&E supplies electricity to approximately
395,000 customers and natural gas to approximately 320,000 customers in
Louisville and adjacent areas in Kentucky. KU provides electric service to
approximately 492,000 customers in over 77 counties in central,
southeastern and western Kentucky, to approximately 30,000 customers in
southwestern Virginia and to less than 10 customers in Tennessee. KU also
sells wholesale electric energy to 12 municipalities.

The mission of LG&E and KU is to build on our tradition and achieve world-
class status providing reliable, low-cost energy services and superior
customer satisfaction; and to promote safety, financial success and quality
of life for our employees, communities and other stakeholders.

LG&E and KU's strategy focuses on the following:

-  Achieve scale as an integrated U.S. electric and gas business through
     organic growth
-  Maintain excellent customer satisfaction
-  Maintain best-in-class cost position versus U.S. utility companies
-  Develop and transfer best practices throughout the company
-  Invest in infrastructure to meet expanding load and comply with
    increasing environmental requirements
-  Achieve appropriate regulated returns on all investment
-  Attract, retain and develop the best people
-  Act with a commitment to corporate social responsibility that enhances
    the well being of our employees, demonstrate environmental stewardship,
    promote quality of life in our communities and reflect the diversity of
    the society we serve

In a June 2004 order, the Kentucky Commission accepted the settlement
agreements reached by the majority of the parties in the rate cases filed
by LG&E and KU in December 2003.  Under the ruling, the LG&E utility base
electric rates have increased $43.4 million (7.7%) and base gas rates have
increased $11.9 million (3.4%), on an annual basis. The rate increases took
effect on July 1, 2004. Base electric rates at KU have increased $46.1
million (6.8%) annually. The 2004 increases were the first increases in
electric base rates for LG&E and KU in 13 and 20 years, respectively; the
previous gas rate increase for the LG&E gas utility took effect in
September 2000.

With the installation of four combustion turbines at Trimble County in
2004, near-term regulated load growth in Kentucky is expected to be
satisfied. However, the Integrated Resource Plan submitted by LG&E and KU
to the Kentucky Commission in April 2005 indicated the requirement for
additional base-load capacity in the longer-term. Consequently, LG&E and KU
have begun development efforts for a new base-load coal-fired unit. Trimble
County Unit 2, with a 732 Mw capacity rating, is expected to be jointly-
owned by LG&E and KU (75% aggregate ownership) and IMEA and IMPA (25%
aggregate ownership). Of their 75% (549 Mw) ownership, LG&E will own 19%
(104 Mw) and KU will own 81% (445 Mw). An application for a construction
CCN was filed with the Kentucky Commission and an air permit application
was filed with the Kentucky Department of Air Quality in December 2004. A
public hearing on the draft air permit application occurred in August 2005.
The Kentucky Commission ruled favorably on the CCN application on November
1, 2005. The air permit is expected to be issued by the Kentucky Department
of Air Quality in November 2005. LG&E's and KU's share of LG&E Energy's
total capital cost of $885 million for Trimble County Unit 2 is estimated
to be $168 million and $717 million, respectively, through 2010.

Three applications for transmission CCN's were filed with the Kentucky
Commission in May 2005 for the construction of three transmission
facilities to support Trimble County Unit 2. In September 2005, the
Kentucky Commission approved one of the transmission facilities and denied
the other two on the basis that the Companies did not sufficiently
investigate alternative routes. The Kentucky Commission recognized the need
for transmission upgrades contingent upon the approval of the generation
CCN. The Companies expect to refile the applications in the fourth quarter
with the additional supporting documentation requested by the Kentucky
Commission.

In addition to the Trimble County Unit 2 project, another focus of major
utility investment is environmental expenditures. In order to mitigate the
declining SO2 allowance bank at KU over the next several years, KU filed
with the Kentucky Commission in December 2004 an application for a CCN to
construct four FGDs at an estimated cost of $658.9 million, which was
approved in June 2005.

The Kentucky Commission opened an investigation into LG&E's and KU's
membership in the MISO in July 2003. Should LG&E and KU be ordered to exit
the MISO, an aggregate fee of up to $41 million could be imposed, depending
on the timing and circumstances of actual withdrawal. On October 7, 2005,
LG&E and KU filed an application with the FERC seeking the requisite
authority to exit the MISO. This proceeding is expected to continue into
2006. At this time, LG&E and KU cannot predict the outcome or effects of
the various Kentucky Commission and FERC proceedings, including whether
they will have a material impact on the financial condition or the results
of operations of the Companies.

The MISO implemented a day-ahead and real-time market (MISO Day 2),
including a congestion management system, in April 2005. This system is
similar to the LMP system currently used by the PJM RTO and contemplated in
FERC's SMD NOPR. Ultimate financial consequences (changes in transmission
revenues and costs) associated with the implementation of MISO Day 2 are
subject to varying assumptions and calculations and are therefore difficult
to estimate.

                          Results of Operations

The results of operations for LG&E and KU are affected by seasonal
fluctuations in temperature and other weather-related factors.  Because of
these and other factors, the results of one interim period are not
necessarily indicative of results or trends to be expected for the full
year.

            Three Months Ended September 30, 2005, Compared to
                  Three Months Ended September 30, 2004

LG&E Results:

LG&E's net income increased $9.5 million (29%) for the three months ended
September 30, 2005, as compared to the three months ended September 30,
2004, primarily due to higher retail electric revenues resulting from
warmer summer weather (cooling degree days were 29% higher than in 2004),
higher wholesale revenues and lower income tax expense.

A comparison of LG&E's revenues for the three months ended September 30,
2005, with the three months ended September 30, 2004, reflects increases
and (decreases) which have been segregated by the following principal
causes:

Total                                                $57.0      $(0.2)

Electric revenues increased $57.0 million (25%) in 2005 primarily due to:
-  Higher sales volume ($27.3 million) related to weather
-  Wholesale sales increased $19.7 million
   -  Higher MISO related revenue ($13.1 million), due to MISO Day 2 RSGMWP,
     earned due to the MISO's dispatch of higher cost gas-fired units ($7.2
     million) and a $12.6 million reclass to revenue from expense offset by a
     $6.7 million reclass to KU revenue for activity dating back to the
     inception of MISO Day 2
   - Higher wholesale revenues ($6.6 million), primarily due to 6% higher
    prices ($12.7 million) partially offset by 3% lower volumes ($6.1 million)
- Higher fuel supply adjustments ($13.3 million) due to significantly
    higher fuel costs
- Lower MISO Day 1 transmission revenue ($1.3 million)

Fuel for electric generation and gas supply expenses comprise a large
component of LG&E's total operating expenses. LG&E's electric and gas rates
contain a fuel adjustment clause and a gas supply clause, respectively,
whereby increases or decreases in the cost of fuel and gas supply are
reflected in retail rates, subject to the approval of the Kentucky
Commission.

  Fuel for electric generation increased $25.6 million (48%) in 2005
  primarily due to:
  -  Increased cost per Btu (42% higher), resulting in $23.6 million higher
     fuel costs.  Fuel costs are significantly higher due to the MISO's
     dispatch of gas-fired units committed by the MISO's Reliability
     Assessment and Commitment process in the real-time market.
  -  Increased generation (4% higher), resulting in $1.9 million higher fuel
     costs

  Power purchased increased $14.8 million (77%) in 2005 primarily due to:
  -  Increased cost per Mwh (53% higher), resulting in $11.8 million higher
     costs
  -  Increased Mwh purchases (15% higher), resulting in $2.9 million higher
     costs
  -  Higher purchased power costs from the MISO due to unit outages totaled
     $9.2 million

Other operations and maintenance expenses increased $12.5 million (17%) in
2005.

  Other operation expenses increased $19.9 million (41%) in 2005 primarily
  due to:

  -  Increased other power supply expenses ($18.7 million) due largely to
      MISO Day 2 costs ($19.0 million), including a $12.6 million reclass from
      expense to revenue for activity dating back to the inception of MISO Day 2
      and $6.4 million administration charges and allocated charges from the
      MISO for Day 2 operations
  -  Increased distribution costs ($3.1 million) largely due to the transfer
      of storm expenses in the third quarter of 2004 from operations expenses to
      maintenance expenses
  -  Increased administrative and general expenses ($1.2 million) largely
      for increased employee benefit costs
  -  Increased cost of gas losses due to the increase in the unit cost of
      natural gas ($0.6 million)
  -  Decreased transmission expenses ($3.5 million), primarily MISO related.
      Prior to the MISO Day 2 market, most bilateral transactions required the
      purchase of transmission; however with the Day 2 market, most transactions
      are handled directly with MISO and no additional transmission is
      necessary.

  Maintenance expenses decreased $7.3 million (32%) in 2005 primarily due
   to:
  -  Decreased distribution costs ($8.9 million) due to the transfer of
      storm expenses to from operations expenses to maintenance expenses in 2004
      and lower storm costs in 2005
  -  Increased administrative and general maintenance ($1.3 million)
  -  Increased maintenance on combustion turbines ($0.4 million)

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.8 million (3%) in 2005
primarily due to additional plant in service.

Other expense - net decreased $1.9 million in 2005 primarily due to:
 -   Decreased miscellaneous deductions ($1.4 million)
 -   Increased mark-to-market gains related to energy trading contracts
      ($0.6 million)

In total, interest expense increased $0.5 million (6%) in 2005 primarily
due to:
 -   Increased interest on variable-rate debt ($1.7 million)
 -   Decreased interest costs on interest rate swaps ($0.8 million)
 -   Decreased interest due to refinancing fixed rate debt with variable
      rate debt ($0.4 million)

The weighted average interest rate on variable-rate bonds for the three
months ended September 30, 2005, was 2.54%, compared to 1.30% for the
comparable period in 2004.

Variances in income tax expense are largely attributable to changes in pre-
tax income, a reduction of previous accruals per final IRS audit, and a
reduction in the statutory Kentucky income tax rate.

KU Results:

KU's net income decreased $3.1 million (9%) for the three months ended
September 30, 2005, as compared to the three months ended September 30,
2004. The decrease was primarily due to higher operation and maintenance
expenses, partially offset by increased retail revenues as a result of
warmer summer weather (cooling degree days were 77% higher than in 2004)
and higher wholesale revenues.

A comparison of KU's revenues for the three months ended September 30,
2005, with the three months ended September 30, 2004, reflects increases
and (decreases) which have been segregated by the following principal
causes:

Total                                                    $94.6

Electric revenues increased $94.6 million (37%) in 2005 primarily due to:
 -  Higher fuel supply adjustments ($41.7 million) due to higher cost of
     fuel used for generation and purchased power
 -  Higher sales volumes ($23.6 million) due to weather
 -  Wholesale sales increased $36.7 million
     -  Higher wholesale revenues ($18.6 million), primarily due to 6% higher
           prices ($14.8 million) and 2% higher sales volume ($3.8 million)
     -  Higher MISO related revenue ($18.1 million), due to MISO Day 2 RSGWMP,
          earned due to the MISO's dispatch of higher cost gas-fired units
	  ($8.3 million), a $3.1 million reclass to revenue from expense and
	  a $6.7 million reclass from LG&E revenue for activity dating back
	  to the inception of MISO Day 2
 -  Lower MISO Day 1 transmission revenue ($2.6 million)

Fuel for electric generation comprises a large component of KU's total
operating expenses. KU's electric rates contain a fuel adjustment clause,
whereby increases or decreases in the cost of fuel are reflected in retail
rates, subject to the approval of the Kentucky Commission, the Virginia
State Corporation Commission, and the FERC.

  Fuel for electric generation increased $40.3 million (52%) in 2005
primarily due to:
 - Increased cost per Btu (36% higher), resulting in $31.2 million higher
     fuel costs.  Fuel costs are significantly higher due to the MISO's
     dispatch of gas-fired units committed by the MISO's Reliability
     Assessment and Commitment process in the real-time market.
 - Increased generation (12% higher), resulting in $9.0 million higher
     fuel costs, primarily due to higher dispatch of gas-fired units

  Power purchased increased $31.6 million (95%) in 2005 primarily due to:
 - Increased cost per Mwh (89% higher), resulting in $30.5 million higher
     costs
 - Increased volumes of Mwh purchased (3% higher), resulting in $1.1
     million higher costs
 - Higher purchased power costs from the MISO due to unit outages totaled
     $12.7 million

Other operations and maintenance expenses increased $25.9 million (48%) in
2005.

  Other operation expenses increased $20.3 million (54%) in 2005 primarily
   due to:
 -  Increased other power supply expenses due largely to MISO Day 2 costs
     ($19.0 million), including a $3.1 million reclass from expense to revenue
     for activity dating back to the inception of MISO Day 2 and $15.9 million
     of administration charges and allocated charges from the MISO for Day 2
     operations
 -  Increased administrative and general expenses ($2.4 million) largely
     the result of increased employee benefit costs
 -  Decreased transmission expenses ($0.9 million), primarily MISO related.
     Prior to the MISO Day 2 market, most bilateral transactions required the
     purchase of transmission; however with the Day 2 market, most transactions
     are handled directly with MISO and no additional transmission is necessary.

  Maintenance expenses increased $6.4 million (53%) in 2005 primarily due
   to:
 -  Increased distribution system costs ($2.4 million), the result of
     reclassifying $4.0 million in storm expenses in 2004 from maintenance to a
     regulatory asset
 -  Increased steam generation maintenance ($2.1 million) due to outages at
     E.W. Brown and Green River
 -  Increased administrative and general maintenance ($1.2 million)
 -  Increased combustion turbine expenses ($0.7 million)

  Property and other taxes decreased $0.8 million (18%).

Other (income) - net decreased $1.1 million (50%) in 2005 primarily due to:
 -  Increased miscellaneous deductions $1.7 million.
 -  Increased mark-to-market gains related to energy trading contracts
     ($0.6 million)

In total, interest expense increased $0.6 million (9%) in 2005 primarily
due to:
 -  Increased interest costs associated with the interest rate swaps ($1.1
     million)
 -  Increased interest costs associated with variable rate debt ($0.6
     million)
 -  Decreased interest costs due to refinancing fixed rate debt with
     variable rate debt ($0.4 million)
 -  Decreased interest costs due to refinancing first mortgage bonds with
     long-term debt from affiliates ($0.4 million)
 -  Decreased interest costs for mark-to-market of the interest rate swaps
     ($0.1 million)

The weighted average interest rate on variable-rate bonds for the three
months ended September 30, 2005, was 2.54%, compared to 1.32% for the
comparable period in 2004.

Variations in income tax expense are largely attributable to changes in
pretax income and a reduction of previous accruals per final IRS audit.

             Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005, Compared to
                   Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004

LG&E Results:

LG&E's net income increased $29.9 million (40%) for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, as compared to the nine months ended September 30,
2004, primarily due to the full period effect of the increase in electric
and gas base rates effective July 1, 2004 increased electric sales volumes
due to warmer summer weather and higher wholesale sales.

A comparison of LG&E's revenues for the nine months ended September 30,
2005, with the nine months ended September 30, 2004, reflects increases and
(decreases) which have been segregated by the following principal causes:

Electric revenues increased $123.4 million (20%) in 2005 primarily due to:
-  Higher revenues due to an increase in rates and a change in rate
     structure ($25.1 million), related to the rate case order which took
     effect on July 1, 2004
-  Higher sales volumes ($32.7 million) due to weather
-  Higher fuel supply adjustments ($22.7 million) due to higher cost of
     fuel used for generation and purchased power
-  Wholesale sales increased $56.1 million
   -  Higher wholesale revenues ($43.0 million), primarily due to 5% higher
        prices ($30.5 million) and 2% higher sales volumes ($12.5 million)
   -  Higher MISO related revenue ($13.1 million), due to MISO Day 2 RSGMWP,
        earned due to the MISO's dispatch of higher cost gas-fired units
-  Lower ESM revenues ($12.3 million)
-  Lower MISO Day 1 transmission revenue ($3.4 million)

During the second quarter of 2005, LG&E made out-of-period adjustments for
estimated under collection of ECR revenues to be billed in subsequent
periods. The adjustments were immaterial during all reporting periods
involved (March 2003 through October 2004). As a result, year-to-date LG&E
revenues were increased $4.8 million. Year-to-date net income was increased
$2.9 million for LG&E.

Gas revenues increased $17.6 million (7%) in 2005 primarily due to:
-  Higher revenues due to an increase ($12.4 million) in recovery of
    higher natural gas prices billed to customers through the gas supply clause
-  Higher wholesale revenues ($9.2 million) due to 3% higher sales prices
    and 1% higher volumes
-  Higher revenues due to an increase in rates and a change in rate
    structure ($4.9 million), related to the rate case order which took effect
    on July 1, 2004
-  Lower retail revenues ($8.9 million) due to lower retail volumes

Fuel for electric generation and gas supply expenses comprise a large
component of LG&E's total operating expenses. LG&E's electric and gas rates
contain a fuel adjustment clause and a gas supply clause, respectively,
whereby increases or decreases in the cost of fuel and gas supply are
reflected in retail rates, subject to the approval of the Kentucky
Commission.

  Fuel for electric generation increased $53.3 million (34%) in 2005
  primarily due to:
 -  Increased cost per Btu (28% higher), resulting in $45.1 million higher
     fuel costs.  Fuel costs are significantly higher due to the MISO's dispatch
     of gas-fired units committed by the MISO's Reliability Assessment and
     Commitment process in the real-time market.
 -  Increased generation (5% higher), resulting in $8.2 million higher fuel
     costs

  Power purchased increased $35.7 million (54%) in 2005 primarily due to:
 -  Increased cost per Mwh (43%), resulting in $30.2 million higher costs
 -  Increased volume of power purchased (8%), resulting in $5.5 million
     higher costs
 -  Higher purchased power costs from the MISO due to unit outages totaled
     $9.8 million

 Gas supply expenses increased $9.6 million (5%) in 2005 primarily due to:
 -  Increased cost of purchases for wholesale sales ($8.3 million)
 -  Increased cost per MCF ($1.6 million)
 -  Decreased volume of gas delivered to the distribution system ($0.4
     million)


Other operations and maintenance expenses increased $0.3 million (less than
1%) in 2005.

  Other operation expenses increased $0.7 million (less than 1%) in 2005
   primarily due to:
 -  Increased power supply expenses ($10.8 million) due largely to MISO Day
     2 costs ($11.6 million) of administration charges and allocated charges
     from the MISO for Day 2 operations
 -  Increased steam power costs ($2.5 million) due primarily to increased
     scrubber reactant expenses
 -  Increased gas storage losses ($1.4 million) due to the increased unit
     cost of natural gas
 -  Decreased transmission expenses ($9.0 million), primarily MISO related.
     Prior to the MISO Day 2 market, most bilateral transactions required the
     purchase of transmission; however with the Day 2 market, most transactions
     are handled directly with MISO and no additional transmission is necessary.
 -  Decreased distribution costs ($4.5 million) due to significantly lower
     storm expenses in 2005
 -  Decreased administrative and general expenses ($0.7 million)

  Maintenance expenses decreased $0.6 million (1%) in 2005 primarily due
    to:
 -  Decreased distribution expenses ($8.1 million) due to significantly
     lower storm costs in 2005
 -  Increased administrative and general expenses ($3.9 million) primarily
     for information technology expenses charged to operations in 2004
 -  Increased steam generation costs ($2.5 million) due to boiler and
     pollution control equipment repairs
 -  Increased repairs to combustion turbines ($0.8 million)
 -  Increased repairs to gas distribution facilities $(0.4 million)

Depreciation and amortization increased $7.0 million (8%) primarily due to
additional plant in service.

Other expense - net decreased $2.9 million in 2005 primarily due to:
 -  Increased mark-to-market gains related to energy trading contracts
    ($1.7 million)
 -  Decreased miscellaneous deductions ($1.3 million)

In total, interest expense increased $2.2 million (9%) in 2005 primarily
due to:
 -  Increased interest on variable-rate debt ($4.9 million)
 -  Increased interest on money pool debt ($0.6 million)
 -  Increased interest on customer deposits ($0.6 million)
 -  Decreased interest costs on interest rate swaps ($2.3 million)
 -  Decreased interest on affiliated loans with Fidelia ($0.8 million)
 -  Decreased interest due to refinancing fixed rate debt with variable
     rate debt ($0.5 million)
 -  Decreased interest on income taxes ($0.3 million)

The weighted average interest rate on variable-rate bonds for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005, was 2.36%, compared to 1.14% for the
comparable period in 2004.

Variances in income tax expense are largely attributable to changes in pre-
tax income, reduction of previous accruals per final IRS audit and a
reduction in the statutory Kentucky rate.

KU Results:

KU's net income decreased $7.8 million (8%) for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, as compared to the nine months ended September 30,
2004. The decrease was primarily due higher operations and maintenance
expenses partially offset by the increase in base rates effective July 1,
2004, and higher retail and wholesale sales.

A comparison of KU's revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005,
with the nine months ended September 30, 2004, reflects increases and
(decreases) which have been segregated by the following principal causes:

 Total retail sales                                      118.7

Wholesale sales                                           57.5
Other                                                     (9.9)
Total                                                   $166.3

Electric revenues increased $166.3 million (23%) in 2005 primarily due to:
-  Higher fuel supply adjustments ($77.4 million) due to higher cost of
    fuel used for generation and purchased power
-  Wholesale sales increased $57.5 million
   -  Higher wholesale revenues ($39.4 million), primarily due to 5% higher
       prices ($36.6 million) and less than 1% higher sales volumes
       ($2.8 million)
   -  Higher MISO related revenue ($18.1 million), due to MISO Day 2 RSGMWP,
       earned due to the MISO's dispatch of higher cost gas-fired units
-  An increase in rates and a change in rate structure ($27.6 million),
    related to the rate case order which took effect on July 1, 2004
-  Higher sales volumes ($24.3 million) due to weather
-  Lower revenues due to the discontinuation of the earnings sharing
    mechanism (ESM) in the first quarter of 2005 ($13.5 million)
-  Lower MISO Day 1 transmission revenue ($6.7 million)

During the second quarter of 2005, KU made out-of-period adjustments for
estimated over collection of ECR revenues to be billed in subsequent
periods. The adjustments were immaterial during all reporting periods
involved (May 2003 through January 2005). As a result, year-to-date KU
revenues were decreased $2.4 million. Year-to-date net income in the
current period was reduced $1.5 million for KU.

Fuel for electric generation comprises a large component of KU's total
operating expenses.  KU's electric rates contain a fuel adjustment clause,
whereby increases or decreases in the cost of fuel are reflected in retail
rates, subject to the approval of the Kentucky Commission, the Virginia
State Corporation Commission, and the FERC.

  Fuel for electric generation increased $74.1 million (34%) in 2005
   primarily due to:
 -  Increased cost per Btu (32% higher), resulting in $70.5 million higher
     fuel costs.  Fuel costs are significantly higher due to the MISO's dispatch
     of gas-fired units committed by the MISO's Reliability Assessment and
     Commitment process in the real-time market.
 -  Increased generation (2% higher), resulting in $3.5 million higher fuel
     costs.

  Power purchased increased $56.0 million (53%) in 2005 primarily due to:
 -  Increased cost per Mwh (41% higher), resulting in $46.5 million higher
     costs.
 -  Increased volumes of Mwh purchased (9% higher), resulting in $9.4
     million higher costs.
 -  Higher purchased power costs from the MISO due to unit outages totaled
     $15.5 million


Other operations and maintenance expenses increased $39.8 million (24%) in
2005.

  Other operation expenses increased $23.3 million (21%) in 2005 primarily
due to:
 -  Increased power supply costs ($22.5 million) due largely to MISO Day 2
     costs ($22.4 million) administration charges and allocated charges from the
     MISO for Day 2 operations
 -  Increased administrative and general costs ($2.4 million) due to
     increases in customer accounts and collection expenses
 -  Decreased transmission expense ($1.6 million), primarily MISO related.
     Prior to the MISO Day 2 market, most bilateral transactions required the
     purchase of transmission; however with the Day 2 market, most transactions
     are handled directly with MISO and no additional transmission is necessary.

  Maintenance expenses increased $17.6 million (43%) in 2005 primarily due
  to:
 -  Increased steam generation maintenance ($9.1 million) due to outages at
     E.W. Brown, Ghent and Green River.
 -  Increased distribution system costs ($4.0 million), the result of
     reclassifying $4.0 million in storm expenses in 2004 from maintenance to a
     regulatory asset.
 -  Increased administrative and general expenses ($3.3 million) primarily
     for information technology expenses charged to operations in 2004.
 -  Increased combustion turbine expenses ($0.8 million).
 -  Increased transmission line maintenance ($0.3 million).

  Property and other taxes decreased $1.1 million.

Other (income) - net decreased $0.7 million (18%) in 2005 primarily due to:
 -   Decreased miscellaneous deductions ($2.4 million)
 -   Increased mark-to-market gains related to energy trading contracts
      ($1.7 million)

Depreciation and amortization increased $5.8 million (7%) primarily due to
additional plant in service.

In total, interest expense increased $3.3 million (18%) in 2005 primarily
due to:
 -  Increased interest costs on interest rate swaps ($1.9 million).
 -  Increased interest on variable rate debt ($1.8 million).
 -  Increased interest costs associated with the mark-to-market of the
     interest rate swaps ($1.5 million).
 -  Decreased interest costs due to refinancing fixed rate debt with
     variable rate debt ($1.3 million).
 -  Decreased interest costs from refinancing first mortgage bonds with
     long-term debt from affiliates ($0.6 million).

The weighted average interest rate on variable-rate bonds for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005, was 2.39%, compared to 1.16% for the
comparable period in 2004.

Variations in income tax expense are largely attributable to changes in
pretax income and a reduction of previous accruals per final IRS audit.

The reduced tax benefit in other differences for 2005 is attributable to
the recognition of a deferred tax liability on the undistributed earnings
from the Company's investment in EEI. In prior periods, the effective rate
was reduced for the anticipated EEI dividends received deduction.

See Part 1 - Item 1, Notes to Financial Statements, Note 6 for additional
discussion of income taxes.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

LG&E and KU's needs for capital funds are largely related to the
construction of plant and equipment necessary to meet the needs of electric
and gas utility customers, in addition to debt service requirements and
dividend payments. Internal and external lines of credit are maintained to
fund short-term capital requirements. LG&E and KU believe that such sources
of funds will be sufficient to meet the needs of the business in the
foreseeable future.

At September 30, 2005, LG&E and KU were in a negative working capital
position in part because of the classification of certain variable-rate
pollution control bonds that are subject to tender for purchase at the
option of the holder as current portion of long-term debt. LG&E and KU
expect to cover any working capital deficiencies with cash flow from
operations, money pool borrowings and borrowings from Fidelia.

Construction expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2005,
amounted to $95.0 million for LG&E and $76.3 million for KU. At LG&E,
expenditures include connection of new customers ($9.8 million),
expenditures to improve boiler and other generation equipment ($9.6
million), enhancements/upgrades to distribution equipment ($9.6 million),
pollution control facilities ($5.7 million), a new transmission line ($2.4
million) and gas main replacements ($2.2 million). At KU, expenditures
included improvements to boiler and other generation equipment ($14.8
million), connection of new customers ($8.4 million), enhancements/upgrades
to distribution equipment ($6.6 million) and pollution control facilities
($3.4 million). The expenditures were financed with internally generated
funds.

LG&E's and KU's cash balances decreased $1.0 million and $0.4 million,
respectively,  during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily
due to the payment of dividends and repayments of debt and construction
expenditures, partially offset by higher cash provided by operating
activities.

Variations in accounts receivable, accounts payable and inventories are
generally not significant indicators of LG&E's and KU's liquidity. Such
variations are primarily attributable to seasonal fluctuations in weather,
which have a direct effect on sales of electricity and natural gas. The
decrease in accounts receivable at LG&E was primarily due to the seasonal
impact of decreased gas sales. The increase in LG&E's gas stored
underground relates to an increase in the average unit cost of gas in
inventory.

Interest rate swaps are used to hedge LG&E's and KU's underlying variable-
rate debt obligations. These swaps hedge specific debt issuances and,
consistent with management's designation, are accorded hedge accounting
treatment. As of September 30, 2005, LG&E had swaps with a combined
notional value of $211.3 million and KU had one swap with a notional value
of $53.0 million. LG&E's swaps exchange floating-rate interest payments for
fixed-rate interest payments to reduce the impact of interest rate changes
on LG&E's pollution control bonds. KU's swap effectively converts fixed-
rate obligations on KU's first mortgage bonds Series P to variable-rate
obligations.

In June 2005, a KU interest rate swap with a notional amount of $50 million
was terminated by the counterparty pursuant to the terms of the swap
agreement. KU received a payment of $1.9 million in consideration for the
termination of the agreement. KU also called the underlying debt (First
Mortgage Bond Series R) and paid a call premium of $1.9 million. The swap
was fully effective upon termination, therefore, no impact on earnings
occurred as a result of the bond call and related swap termination.

In February 2005, an LG&E interest rate swap with a notional amount of $17
million matured. The swap was fully effective upon expiration, therefore,
the impact on earnings and other comprehensive income from the swap
maturity was less than $0.1 million.

At September 30, 2005, LG&E's and KU's percentage of debt having a variable
rate, including the impact of interest rate swaps, was 47.8% ($419.6
million) and 45.1% ($344.1 million), respectively.

Under the provisions for LG&E's variable-rate pollution control bonds,
Series S, T, U, BB, CC, DD and EE, and KU's variable-rate pollution control
bonds Series 10, 12, 13, 14, and 15, the bonds are subject to tender for
purchase at the option of the holder and to mandatory tender for purchase
upon the occurrence of certain events, causing the bonds to be classified
as current portion of long-term debt in the Balance Sheets. The average
annualized interest rate for these bonds during the three and nine months
ending September 30, 2005 was 2.63% and 2.36%, respectively, for LG&E and
2.59% and 2.40%, respectively, for KU.

During June 2005, LG&E renewed five revolving lines of credit with banks
totaling $185 million.  There was no outstanding balance under any of these
facilities at September 30, 2005. The Company expects to renew these
facilities prior to their expiration in June 2006.

LG&E, KU and LG&E Energy participate in an intercompany money pool
agreement. Details of the balances at September 30, 2005 and September 30,
2004 were as follows:

                    Total Money      Amount     Balance     Average

LG&E Energy maintains a revolving credit facility totaling $200 million
with an affiliated company, E.ON North America, Inc., to ensure funding
availability for the money pool. The balance outstanding on this facility
at September 30, 2005 was $65.4 million.

value of life insurance policies.

In January 2004, LG&E and KU made discretionary contributions to their
pension plans of $34.5 million and $43.4 million, respectively. No
discretionary contributions to the pension plans are currently anticipated
for either LG&E or KU for 2005. LG&E and KU contributed $0.7 million and
$3.0 million, respectively, to their other post-retirement benefit plans
during the second quarter of 2005.

New Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of new accounting pronouncements and their impacts on LG&E
and KU, see Part I - Item 1, Notes to Financial Statements, Note 7.

Contingencies

For a description of significant contingencies that may affect LG&E and KU,
reference is made to Part I, Item 3, Legal Proceedings in LG&E's and KU's
Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004; and to
Part I - Item 1, Notes to Financial Statements, Notes 5 and 10, and Part II
- Item 1, Legal Proceedings herein.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

LG&E's and KU's operations are exposed to market risks from changes in
interest rates and commodity prices. To mitigate changes in cash flows
attributable to these exposures, the Companies have entered into various
derivative instruments. Derivative positions are monitored using techniques
that include market value and sensitivity analysis.

Interest Rate Risk

The Companies use interest rate swaps to hedge exposure to market
fluctuations in certain of their debt instruments. Pursuant to the
Companies' policies, use of these financial instruments is intended to
mitigate risk and earnings volatility and is not speculative in nature.
Management has designated all of the Companies' interest rate swaps as
hedge instruments. Financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges
have resulting gains and losses recorded within other comprehensive income
and stockholders' equity. To the extent a financial instrument or the
underlying item being hedged is prematurely terminated or the hedge becomes
ineffective, the resulting gains or losses are reclassified from other
comprehensive income to net income. Financial instruments designated as
fair value hedges are periodically marked to market with the resulting
gains and losses recorded directly into net income to correspond with
income or expense recognized from changes in market value of the items
being hedged.

The potential change in interest expense associated with a 1% change in
base interest rates of LG&E's and KU's unswapped variable debt is estimated
at $4.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively, at September 30, 2005.
LG&E's and KU's exposure to floating interest rates did not materially
change during the first nine months of 2005.

The potential loss in fair value of LG&E's interest rate swaps resulting
from a hypothetical 1% change in base interest rates is estimated at
approximately $18.0 million as of September 30, 2005. The potential loss in
fair value of KU's interest rate swaps resulting from a hypothetical 1%
change in base interest rates is estimated at approximately $0.8 million as
of September 30, 2005. These estimates are derived from third-party
valuations. Changes in the market values of these swaps, if held to
maturity, will have no effect on LG&E's or KU's net income or cash flow.

Pension Risk

LG&E's and KU's costs of providing defined-benefit pension retirement plans
is dependent upon a number of factors, such as the rates of return on plan
assets, discount rate, and contributions made to the plan. LG&E and KU have
recognized an additional minimum liability as prescribed by SFAS No. 87,
Employers' Accounting for Pensions because the accumulated benefit
obligation exceeds the fair value of their plans' assets. The liabilities
were recorded as a reduction to other comprehensive income, and did not
affect net income. The amount of the liability depends upon the discount
rate, the asset returns and contributions made by the Companies to the
plans. If the fair value of the plans' assets exceeds the accumulated
benefit obligation, the recorded liabilities will be reduced and other
comprehensive income will be restored in the balance sheet.

A 1% increase or decrease in the assumed discount rate could have an
approximate $39.9 million positive or negative impact to the accumulated
benefit obligation of LG&E. A 1% increase or decrease in the assumed
discount rate could have an approximate $26.8 million positive or negative
impact to the accumulated benefit obligation of KU.

In January 2004, LG&E and KU made discretionary contributions to their
pension plans of $34.5 million and $43.4 million, respectively. No
discretionary contributions to the pension plans are currently anticipated
for either LG&E or KU for 2005. LG&E and KU contributed $0.7 million and
$3.0 million, respectively, to their other post-retirement benefit plans
during the second quarter of 2005.

Energy Risk Management Activities

LG&E conducts energy trading and risk management activities to maximize the
value of power sales from physical assets it owns, in addition to the
wholesale sale of excess asset capacity.  Certain energy trading activities
are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis in accordance with SFAS No. 133
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and SFAS No.
138 Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging
Activities.  Wholesale sales of excess asset capacity are treated as normal
sales under SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 and are not marked to market.

The rescission of EITF No. 98-10 for fiscal periods ending after December
15, 2002, had no impact on LG&E's energy trading and risk management
reporting as all contracts marked to market under EITF No. 98-10 are also
within the scope of SFAS No. 133.

Since the inception of the MISO Day 2 market in April 2005, LG&E and KU
have been eligible to receive Financial Transmission Rights (FTRs) from
MISO.  FTRs are assigned by MISO to market participants for a 12 month
period of time beginning June 1, 2006 for off-peak and peak periods based
on each market participant's share of generation. FTRs entitle the holder
to manage price risk associated with hourly market price fluctuations
caused by transmission congestion.  The value of FTRs is determined by the
transmission congestion charges that arise when the transmission grid is
congested in the day-ahead market.  Holders of FTRs use them to cover
charges assessed for congestion in the hourly market, while market
participants without FTRs must pay congestion costs in order to obtain less
expensive power through the transmission system. FTRs are obtained through
an allocation from MISO, however, they can also be bought and sold.
Although FTRs are financial instruments they are not marked to market under
SFAS No. 133 due to the lack of liquidity in the forward market.

The table below summarizes LG&E's and KU's energy risk management
activities for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005,
and 2004. Volumes are allocated evenly between LG&E and KU.

No changes to valuation techniques for energy risk management activities
occurred during 2005 or 2004. Changes in market pricing, interest rate and
volatility assumptions were made during all periods. The outstanding mark-
to-market value is sensitive to changes in prices, price volatilities, and
interest rates. The Companies estimate that a movement in prices of $1 and
a change in interest and volatilities of 1% would result in a change in the
mark-to-market value of less than $0.1 million. All contracts outstanding
at September 30, 2005, have a maturity of less than one year and are valued
using prices actively quoted for proposed or executed transactions or
quoted by brokers.

LG&E and KU maintain policies intended to minimize credit risk and revalue
credit exposures daily to monitor compliance with those policies. As of
September 30, 2005, 100% of the transactions marked-to-market according to
SFAS No. 133 were with counterparties rated BBB-/Baa3 equivalent or better.
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

LG&E and KU maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the
Companies in reports they file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and
forms.  LG&E and KU conducted an evaluation of such controls and procedures
under the supervision and with the participation of the Companies'
management, including the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
(CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Based upon that evaluation,
the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Companies' disclosure controls and
procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this
report.

LG&E and KU are not accelerated filers under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
and associated rules (the Act) and consequently anticipate issuing
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting pursuant
to Section 404 of the Act in their first periodic report covering the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, as permitted by SEC rulemaking.

In preparation for required reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-
Oxley Act of 2002, the Companies are conducting a thorough review of their
internal controls over financial reporting, including disclosure controls
and procedures. Based on this review, the Companies have made internal
controls enhancements and will continue to make future enhancements to
their internal controls over financial reporting. On April 1, 2005, the
MISO Day 2, a day-ahead and real-time energy market, became effective which
impacted the Companies' regulated electric generation operations and
purchased power. In connection with the implementation of MISO Day 2, LG&E
and KU have implemented a new software system and modified existing
processes to facilitate participation in, and validate resultant
settlements from the MISO market. Apart from this change, there have been
no other changes in the Companies' internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005,
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Companies' internal control over financial reporting.



                        Part II.  Other Information

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

For a description of the significant legal proceedings involving LG&E and
KU, reference is made to the information under the following items and
captions of LG&E's and KU's respective combined Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2004: Item 1, Business; Item 3, Legal
Proceedings; Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations; and Item 8, Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data in Note 11. Reference is also made to the matters
described in Notes 5 and 10 of Part I, Item 1 of LG&E's and KU's Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2005, June 30,
2005, and this 10-Q, respectively. Except as described herein, to date, the
proceedings reported in LG&E's and KU's respective combined Annual Report
on Form 10-K have not materially changed.

Other

In the normal course of business, other lawsuits, claims, environmental
actions, and other governmental proceedings arise against LG&E and KU. To
the extent that damages are assessed in any of these lawsuits, LG&E and KU
believe that their insurance coverage is adequate. Management, after
consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate that liabilities
arising out of other currently pending or threatened lawsuits and claims
will have a material adverse effect on LG&E's or KU's financial position or
results of operations, respectively.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

2(c)

LG&E has an existing $5.875 series of mandatorily redeemable preferred
stock outstanding having a current redemption price of $100 per share. The
preferred stock has a sinking fund requirement sufficient to retire a
minimum of 12,500 shares on July 15 of each year commencing with July 15,
2003, and a minimum of 187,500 shares on July 15, 2008 at $100 per share.
LG&E redeemed 12,500 shares in accordance with these provisions on July 15,
2005, leaving 212,500 shares currently outstanding. Beginning with the
three months ended September 30, 2003, LG&E reclassified, at fair value,
its $5.875 series preferred stock as long-term debt with the minimum shares
mandatorily redeemable within one year classified as current portion of
long-term debt. Dividends accrued beginning July 1, 2003 are charged as
interest expense, pursuant to SFAS No. 150.
