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, as amended (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.
Property and Depreciation
Property consists primarily of computer equipment and is recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the related asset.
Income Taxes
GPE and its subsidiaries file consolidated federal and 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, 2004, GPES had one share of common stock outstanding.
18
Note 3 Related Party Transactions
GPES has entered into service agreements with GPE and its subsidiaries to provide services at cost. At December 31, 2004, GPES associates include:

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, associate company receivables were $10.9 million and $12.7 million, respectively, and associate company payables were $6.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The increase in associate company payables is primarily due to borrowings related to the funding of GPES benefit plans that will be billed when expensed.
GPES has an agreement with Kansas City Power & Light (KCP&L), whereby KCP&L provides GPES with certain facility services to be used for internal administrative and general purposes. The services include use of office space, office equipment and furniture, vehicles and software. Charges for the services were $5.7 million and $4.9 million for 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Note 4 Pension Plans and Other Employee Benefits
GPEs defined benefit pension plans cover substantially all employees of GPES, 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 GPES based on the labor costs of the plan participants. GPES share of pension costs for 2004 and 2003 were $5.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and GPES' share of contributions in 2004 and 2003 were $6.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
The key assumptions used in developing pension expense for 2004 were a 6.0% discount rate, a 9.0% expected return on plan assets and a 3.3% compensation rate increase. Prior year assumptions varied slightly with a 6.75% discount rate and a 4.1% compensation rate increase while the expected return on plan assets remained unchanged.
Primarily as a result of lower discount rates and historical losses in the market value of plan assets, GPES recorded an additional minimum pension liability offset by an intangible asset and OCI. The additional minimum pension liability is allocated based on each plans funded status. The amounts recognized on GPES balance sheet related to the minimum pension liability are detailed in the following table.

In addition to providing pension benefits, GPE 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 employees 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 GPES based on the number of plan participants. GPES share of postretirement expenses in 2004 and 2003 was approximately $1.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
Note 5 Equity Compensation
GPE provides a Long-Term Incentive Plan to officers and other employees of GPES. The Long-Term Incentive Plan permits the grant of restricted stock, stock options, limited stock appreciation rights and performance shares. Under this plan, GPES recognized compensation expense of $0.7 million and $1.5 million for 2004 and 2003, respectively.

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 the 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. 1. Divisional Overheads-These are the miscellaneous costs incurred to provide the infrastructure support to various departments within GPES. These costs include occupancy costs such as building lease costs 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. 2. 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. Service Company support costs benefit GPES whereas divisional overheads support one specific division within GPES. 3. Direct Billings-These are costs incurred by GPES to provide specific services to a specific client company and include the divisional overheads and Service Company support allocated from above. These costs are billed to the client company based on the owner of the project charged. 4. Indirect Billings-These are cost incurred by GPES to provide specific services such as payroll where multiple client companies benefit. These costs will be billed to client companies based on predefined allocation factors. For example, the cost to provide payroll services to a client will be billed based on headcount. The indirect factors are listed below.
