Each eligible employee with 30 or more years of credited service, or whose age and years of service add up to 85, is entitled to a total monthly annuity equal to 50% of their average base monthly salary for the period of 36 consecutive months in which their earnings were highest. The monthly annuity will be proportionately reduced if their years of credited service are less than 30 or if their age and years of service do not add up to 85. The compensation covered by the Great Plains Energy Pension Plan -- base monthly salary -- excludes any bonuses and other compensation. The Great Plains Energy Pension Plan provides that pension amounts are not reduced by Social Security benefits. The estimated credited years of service for the named executive officers in the Summary Compensation table are as follows:

(1)     Mr. Zomnir does not participate in the Great Plains Energy Pension Plan.

Eligibility for supplemental retirement benefits is limited to executive officers selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board; all the named executive officers, with the exception of Mr. Zomnir, are participants. The total retirement benefit payable at the normal retirement date is equal to 2% of highest average earnings, as shown above, for each year of credited service up to 30 (maximum of 60% of highest average earnings). The actual retirement benefit paid equals the target retirement benefit less retirement benefits payable under the management pension plan. A liability accrues each year to cover the estimated cost of future supplemental benefits.

22


The Internal Revenue Code imposes certain limitations on pensions that may be paid under tax qualified pension plans. In addition to the supplemental retirement benefits, the amount by which pension benefits exceed the limitations will be paid outside the qualified plan and accounted for by Great Plains Energy as an operating expense.

Following is the Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation in Great Plains Energy's 2004 proxy statement:

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Great Plains Energy is composed of five independent directors. The Compensation Committee sets the executive compensation structure and administers the policies and plans that govern compensation for the executive officers. Executive compensation is consistent with the Great Plains Energy total remuneration philosophy, which provides:

Given Great Plains Energy's strategies in the competitive and demanding energy marketplace, attracting and retaining talent is a top priority. Great Plains Energy is committed to establishing total remuneration levels, which are performance-based, competitive with the energy or utility market for jobs of similar scope to enable the organization to recruit and retain talented personnel at all levels in a dynamic and complex marketplace. This will be established through base salary, benefits and performance-based annual and long-term incentives. The incentive targets will be consistent with current trends in the energy or utility sector and the incentive measures will be appropriately tied to shareholder and customer interests.

Executive compensation for 2003 consisted of base salary, annual incentives, and restricted stock and stock options granted under the Company's long-term incentive plan with the exception of Richard M. Zomnir, President and Chief Executive Officer of Strategic Energy, L.L.C., whose compensation for 2003 consisted of base salary and annual incentive. The Compensation Committee has not adopted a policy concerning the Internal Revenue Services' rules on the deductibility of compensation in excess of $1,000,000.

Great Plains Energy Executive Compensation

Base Salaries

The Compensation Committee reviews executive officer salaries annually and makes adjustments as warranted. The Compensation Committee compares executive compensation regularly with national compensation surveys. Base salaries for executive officers were established for 2003 on the basis of:

*     job responsibilities and complexity;
    individual performance under established guidelines;
    competitiveness for comparable positions in companies of similar size within the industry and general industry; and
*     sustained performance of the company.

Annual Incentive Plan

Under the Great Plains Energy Annual Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), executive officers receive incentive compensation based on the achievement of specific corporate and business unit earnings per share targets, customer satisfaction levels, and individual performance goals. The corporate earnings per share target is subject to an established performance threshold and maximum. Individual performance awards are not paid if the corporate earnings per share performance falls below the threshold level. Corporate earnings per share performance above the annual goal results in payouts above the target level. In 2003, the corporate and business unit earnings per share and customer satisfaction goals were exceeded and awards were earned in the amounts set forth in the Summary Compensation Table.

23


Long-Term Incentive Plan

The Great Plains Energy Long-Term Incentive Plan, approved by the shareholders, provides for grants by the Compensation Committee of stock options, restricted stock, performance shares and other stock-based awards. The Compensation Committee believes that equity interests in Great Plains Energy by its executive officers more closely aligns the interests of management with shareholders and has established stock ownership guidelines for executive officers based on their level within the organization. Compliance with these guidelines is taken into consideration in determining grants under the Long-Term Incentive Plan. Restricted stock and stock options were granted in 2003 in the amounts set forth in the Summary Compensation Table. The restricted stock is restricted in time and/or performance as also set forth in the Summary Compensation Table, and the stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of issuance.

Chief Executive Officer

In determining the base salary for Bernard J. Beaudoin, the Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer through September 2003, the Compensation Committee considered:

*     financial performance of the company;
*     cost and quality of services provided;
*     leadership in enhancing the long-term value of the company; and
*     relevant salary data including information supplied by the Edison Electric Institute.

Incentive awards to Mr. Beaudoin in 2003 under the Annual Incentive Plan and Long-Term Incentive Plan were determined in the same manner as other executive officers.

Michael J. Chesser was chosen by the Board as Mr. Beaudoin's successor and became Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer in October 2003. In determining his initial base salary, the Compensation Committee considered:

*     past experience and accomplishments;
*     leadership ability; and
*     competitive salary data for comparable positions of similar sized companies in the industry.

Mr. Chesser's annual incentive award was determined in the same manner as the other executive officers and prorated for his service. A grant of restricted stock under the Long-Term Incentive Plan was made to Mr. Chesser at the time of his employment conditioned on his continued employment with the Company as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table.

Strategic Energy Executive Compensation

The base salary for Richard M. Zomnir in 2003 was set by the Management Committee of Strategic Energy, L.L.C. pursuant to an Employment Agreement and reviewed by the Compensation Committee. The Strategic Energy Annual Bonus Program is based on individual goals and budgeted adjusted earnings. If Strategic Energy meets its corporate goal, 100% of the potential payout for each individual is available. Should the company not meet 75% of its goal, no awards will be paid and if the company exceeds 125% of its goal, then additional amounts may be paid. In 2003, Mr. Zomnir received the base salary and an incentive award at target as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires certain of our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of Great Plains Energy's common stock to file reports of holdings and transactions in Great Plains Energy common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange. Based upon our records, we believe that all required reports for fiscal 2003 have been timely filed.

(1)     Includes 20,744 performance shares and options for 241,898 shares of Great Plains Energy common stock outstanding at December 31, 2003.

(2)     The 20,744 performance shares have no exercise price and therefore are not reflected in the weighted average exercise price.

The Amended Long-Term Incentive Plan, effective as of May 7, 2002 (Exhibit 10.1.a to Great Plains Energy's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002) is incorporated herein by reference.

Strategic Energy Phantom Stock Plan
Strategic Energy has a phantom stock plan that provides incentive in the form of deferred compensation based upon the award of performance units, the value of which is related to the increase in profitability of Strategic Energy. Strategic Energy's annual cost for the plan was $4.6 million in 2003, $5.9 million in 2002 and $3.4 million in 2001.

Stock Options
The Company has one equity compensation plan, which has been approved by its shareholders. The equity compensation plan is a long-term incentive plan that permits the grant of restricted stock, stock options, limited stock appreciation rights and performance shares to officers and other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The maximum number of shares of Great Plains Energy common stock that may be issued under the plan is 3.0 million with 2.2 million shares remaining available for future issuance.

Stock Options Granted 1992 - 1996
The exercise price of stock options granted equaled the market price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. One-half of all options granted vested one year after the grant date, the other half vested two years after the grant date. An amount equal to the quarterly dividends paid on Great Plains Energy's common stock shares (dividend equivalents) accrues on the options for the benefit of option holders. The option holders are entitled to stock for their accumulated dividend equivalents only if the options are exercised when the market price is above the exercise price. At December 31, 2003, the market price of Great Plains Energy's common stock was $31.82, which exceeded the grant price for all such option still outstanding. Unexercised options expire ten years after the grant date.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123 on January 1, 2003, Great Plains Energy followed Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations in accounting for these options. Great Plains Energy recognized annual compensation expense equal to accumulated and reinvested dividends plus the impact of the change in stock price since the grant date. Great Plains Energy recognized compensation expense of $0.1 million in 2002 and $(0.3) million in 2001. These options were fully vested prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123; therefore, no compensation expense was recognized in 2003.

28


For options outstanding at December 31, 2003, grant prices range from $20.6250 to $23.0625 and the weighted-average remaining contractual life is 0.8 years.

Stock Options Granted 2001- 2003
Stock options were granted under the plan at the fair market value of the shares on the grant date. The options vest three years after the grant date and expire in ten years if not exercised. Exercise prices range from $24.90 to $27.73 and the weighted average remaining contractual life is 7.9 years.

In accordance with the provision of SFAS NO. 123, Great Plains Energy recognized an immaterial amount of compensation expense in 2003. Under the provisions of APB Opinion 25, no compensation expense was recognized in 2002 and 2001 because the option exercise price was equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant.

The fair value for the stock options granted in 2001 - 2003 was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted-average assumptions used are in the following table:

Performance Shares
Performance shares granted in 2003 totaled 20,744. The issuance of performance shares is contingent upon achievement, over a three-year period, of company performance goals as compared to a peer group of utilities. Performance shares have a value equal to the fair market value of the shares on the grant date with accruing dividends. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period. Great Plains Energy recognized compensation expense of $0.4 million in 2003.

29


During 2003, all 144,500 performance shares granted in 2001 were canceled. No compensation expense had been recorded related to these performance shares.

Restricted Stock
Restricted shares have a value equal to the fair market value of the shares on the grant date. Restricted stock shares granted in 2003 totaled 120,196. There is a restriction as to transfer until December 31, 2004, on 54,436 of the restricted shares. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, restricted stock shares totaling 57,315 are considered 100% vested. Restricted stock shares totaling 62,881 vest on a graded schedule over a three year period with accruing reinvested dividends. Great Plains Energy recognized compensation expense of $1.8 million in 2003.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Great Plains Energy through its affiliates holds an 89% indirect ownership position in Strategic Energy, L.L.C. (Strategic Energy). SE Holdings, L.L.C.

SE Holdings has a put option to sell all or part of its 11% interest in Strategic Energy (Put Interest) at any time within the 90 days following January 31, 2004 at fair market value.

The Letter Agreement provides for SE Holdings to exercise its put option with respect to all but one unit (0.00001% of issued and outstanding units) of each of its respective series of ownership interest.

The Letter Agreement further provides that Mr. Zomnir will remain with the company through the closing of the transaction anticipated for mid-April subject to obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals. Upon the consummation of the transaction, Mr. Zomnir will resign.

Great Plains Energy Severance Agreements

Great Plains Energy has severance agreements ("Severance Agreements") with certain of its executive officers, including the named executives with the exception of Mr. Zomnir, to ensure their continued service and dedication to and their objectivity in considering on behalf of Great Plains Energy any transaction that would change the control of the Company. Under the Severance Agreements, an executive officer would be entitled to receive a lump-sum cash payment and certain insurance benefits during the three-year period after a Change in Control (or, if later, the three-year period following the consummation of a transaction approved by Great Plains Energy's shareholders constituting a Change in Control) if the officer's employment was terminated by:

*     Great Plains Energy other than for cause or upon death or disability;

30



*     the executive officer for "Good Reason" (as defined in the Severance Agreements); and
*     the executive officer for any reason during a 30-day period commencing one year after the Change in Control or, if later, commencing one year following consummation of a transaction approved by Great Plains Energy's shareholders constituting a change in control (a "Qualifying Termination").

A Change in Control is defined as:

*     an acquisition by a person or group of 20% or more of the Great Plains Energy common stock (other than an acquisition from or by Great Plains Energy or by a Great Plains Energy benefit plan);
*     a change in a majority of the Board; and
*     approval by the shareholders of a reorganization, merger or consolidation (unless shareholders receive 60% or more of the stock of the surviving Company) or a liquidation, dissolution or sale of substantially all of Great Plains Energy's assets.

Upon a Qualifying Termination, Great Plains Energy must make a lump-sum cash payment to the executive officer of:

*     the officer's base salary through the date of termination;
*     a pro-rated bonus based upon the average of the bonuses paid to the officer for the last five fiscal years;
*     any accrued vacation pay;
*     two or three times the officer's highest base salary during the prior 12 months;
*     two or three times the average of the bonuses paid to the officer for the last five fiscal years;
*     the actuarial equivalent of the excess of the officer's accrued pension benefits including supplemental retirement benefits computed without reduction for early retirement and including two or three additional years of benefit accrual service, over the officer's vested accrued pension benefits; and
*     the value of any unvested Great Plains Energy contributions for the benefit of the officer under the Great Plains Energy Employee Savings Plus Plan.

In addition, Great Plains Energy must offer health, disability and life insurance plan coverage to the officer and his dependents on the same terms and conditions that existed immediately prior to the Qualifying Termination for two or three years, or, if earlier, until the executive officer is covered by equivalent plan benefits. Great Plains Energy must make certain "gross-up" payments regarding tax obligations relating to payments under the Severance Agreements as well as provide reimbursement of certain expenses relating to possible disputes that might arise.

Payments and other benefits under the Severance Agreements are in addition to balances due under the Great Plains Energy Long-Term Incentive Plan and Annual Incentive Plan. Upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Great Plains Energy Long-Term Incentive Plan), all stock options granted in tandem with limited stock appreciation rights will be automatically exercised.

       6.2.     Admission of Additional Members

       The Member may, in the Member's sole discretion, admit additional members and determine the capital contributions of such additional members.

       (5)     the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under the Act.

       7.2.     Effect of Dissolution

Such distributions shall be in cash, property other than cash, or partly in both, as determined by the Member.

       7.4.     Winding Up and Articles of Dissolution

       The winding up of the Company shall be completed when all debts, liabilities, and obligations of the limited liability company have been paid and discharged or reasonably adequate provision therefor has been made, and all of the remaining property and assets of the limited liability company have been distributed to the Member. Upon the completion of winding up of the Company, the Member or other person designated by the Member shall deliver articles of dissolution to the Secretary of State for filing.

ACCUMULATED PROVISION FOR DEPRECIATION OF ELECTRIC UTILITY PLANT (Account 108)

 

 

      1. Explain in a footnote any important adjustments during the year.
      2. Explain in a footnote any difference between the amount for book cost of plant retired, line 11, column (c), and that
  reported for electric plant in service, pages 204-207, column
  (d), excluding retirements of non-depreciable property.
      3. The provisions of Account 108 in the Uniform System of
  Accounts require that retirements of depreciable plant be
  recorded when such plant is removed from service. If the
 

respondent has a significant amount of plant retired at
year end which has not been recorded and/or classified
to the various reserve functional classifications, make
preliminary closing entries to tentatively functionalize
the book cost of the plant retired. In addition, include
all costs included in retirement work in progress at year
end in the appropriate functional classifications.
    4. Show separately interest credits under a sinking
fund or similar method of depreciation accounting.
