ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
As the result of a corporate reorganization, Great Plains
Energy Incorporated became the holding company of a regulated
subsidiary, Kansas City Power & Light Company. KLT Inc.,
previously a subsidiary held by Kansas City Power & Light
Company, has become the wholly owned nonregulated subsidiary of
Great Plains Energy. DTI Holdings Inc., an indirect subsidiary
of KLT Inc., previously disclosed that in response to, among
other things, the current challenges of the telecommunications
industry, DTI has narrowed its focus to primarily on connectivity
in secondary and tertiary markets in a five-state region and
providing metro access services. DTI continues to explore all
its strategic alternatives, including a merger, sale of assets,
pre-packaged bankruptcy, and all other types of recapitalization.
KLT Inc., through its KLT Telecom Inc. subsidiary, has invested
an estimated $186 million in DTI at September 30, 2001.
