                                                         Exhibit A

      Attached is a copy of the 1993 Consolidated Balance Sheets,
Statements of Income, and Statements of Retained Earnings for KCPL
and its subsidiaries with WCNOC and WYMO Fuels, Inc. handled as
follows:

1)    WCNOC is the operating agent for Wolf Creek and is owned 47%
by KCPL.  KCPLs $47 investment in WCNOC is carried in Investments
and Nonutility Property on the consolidated balance sheet.  All of
Wolf Creek assets are owned by KCPL, KG&E and KEPCo ("Owners"). 
Since WCNOC is operating solely as an agent of the Owners, KCPL
classifies, in its consolidated financial statements, the payables,
expenses and receipts (if any) incurred by WCNOC as if such items
had been incurred by KCPL.  WCNOC has no revenue or income. 
Payment for expenses is made from checking accounts owned and
funded by the Owners.

2)    WYMO Fuels, Inc. is an inactive corporation.  KCPL's Balance
Sheet Account - Investments and Nonutility Property includes
$788,565 representing the remaining investment in WYMO Fuels, Inc. 
Such investment represents the tax benefits applicable to the cost
of fixed assets written off for book purposes but not for tax
purposes.  This investment is carried on an equity basis and is
considered immaterial for consolidation purposes when compared to
KCPL's $2.8 billion balance sheet.
