Schedule XIV – Notes to Financial Statements

Instructions:

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

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization
Great Plains Energy Services Incorporated (GPES) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Great Plains Energy Incorporated (GPE or Company), a public utility holding company registered with and subject to the regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (35 Act). GPES was formed in April 2003 as a service company under the 35 Act to provide support and administrative services to GPE and certain of its subsidiaries.

Nature of Operations
GPES provides services at cost. Costs are ultimately assigned to GPE or one of its subsidiaries based on allocations or cost assignments developed to reflect the actual cost as closely as practical and to prevent the subsidization of any company. The charges for services include no compensation for the use of equity capital.

Basis of Presentation
GPES follows the Uniform System of Accounts prescribed for public utilities by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission modified to include certain service company accounts in accordance with SEC guidance. GPES’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Income Taxes
GPE and its subsidiaries file consolidated federal and consolidated, combined or separate state income tax returns. Deferred income taxes are recorded using statutory tax rates to reflect the effect of temporary differences between financial reporting and tax purposes.

Note 2 – Common Stock

GPES is authorized to issue 100 shares of no par common stock. GPE holds all of the outstanding GPES common stock. At December 31, 2003, GPES had one share of common stock outstanding.

Note 3 – Related Party Transactions

GPES has entered into service agreements with GPE and its subsidiaries to provide services at cost. At December 31, 2003, GPES’ associates include:


		o		Great Plains Energy Incorporated
		o		Kansas City Power & Light Company
		o		Home Service Solutions Inc.
		o		Worry Free Service, Inc.
		o		Innovative Energy Consultants Inc.
		o		Great Plains Power Incorporated
		o		KLT Inc.(including Strategic Energy, L.L.C.)

At December 31, 2003, associate company receivables and associate company payables were approximately $12.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Note 4 – Pension Plans and Other Employee Benefits

GPE’s defined benefit pension plans cover substantially all employees of the Company, including officers. Benefits under these plans reflect the employees’ compensation, years of service and age at retirement. The funding policy for the pension plans is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 plus additional amounts as considered appropriate.

Pension contributions and expenses are allocated to the Company’s subsidiaries based on the labor costs of the plan participants. GPES’ share of pension costs and contributions in 2003 were $2.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Primarily as a result of lower discount rates and prior years’ losses in the market value of plan assets, the Company recorded an additional minimum pension liability adjustment. The additional minimum pension liability is allocated based on each plan’s funded status. GPES’ portion of the additional minimum pension liability at December 31, 2003 was $4.0 million offset by an intangible asset of $0.9 million and other comprehensive income (loss) of $3.1 million ($1.9 million net of tax).

In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for substantially all retired employees. The cost of postretirement health care and life insurance benefits are accrued during an employee’s years of service. The Company funds the portion of net periodic postretirement benefit costs that are tax deductible. For postretirement health care plans, contributions and expenses are allocated to the Company’s subsidiaries based on the number of plan participants. GPES’ share of postretirement expenses was approximately $1.3 million in 2003.

ANNUAL REPORT OF GREAT PLAINS ENERGY SERVICES INCORPORATED

For the Year Ended December 31, 2003

Methods of Allocation

Construction Work in Progress and Other Balance Sheet Expenditures-All costs incurred by GPES for the benefit of client companies and charged to a construction, undistributed stores expense or clearing account, must be billed to the client company. These costs are billed to the client companies based on the project ID. For example, a charge to a construction work in progress account with a project belonging to the power division will be billed to KCP&L Power Division.

Revenues and Expenses-Revenues and expenses are classified into the following four basic groups for allocation purposes — divisional overheads, service company support, direct billings and indirect billings.

Divisional Overheads-These are the miscellaneous costs incurred to provide the infrastructure support to various departments within GPES. These costs include such things as occupancy costs such as building lease costs or depreciation, and general departmental costs such as office supplies used to support GPES. These charges are allocated over the current period direct labor charges of the services provided. For example, the overhead costs of the accounting division are allocated over the direct labor that is charged by accounting personnel to service company support, direct billings and indirect billings.

Service Company Support-These are costs incurred by GPES to support its own operations. For example, payroll service for GPES personnel are allocated over the current period direct labor charges for direct billings.
