F rst, operation of Wolf Creek marked the conclusion of our 15-year, $1.8 billion construction program. This completed our transition from virtually total reliance on 20 natural gas as generating plant fuel to a mix of coal, uranium and gas.

Second, on September 27,1985, the KCC approved only 45% of our Wolf Creek rate request.

dividends since the last quarter of 1985 had been cut in half-from 59& to 29.54. We are committed to restoring the common stock dividend as soon as reasonably possible.

Another response to the Wolf Creek rate order was a drop in price per share of common stock to $9.625 on October 3,1985. By January 2,1986, the price had recovered to $14.125. At year end, common stock was L

The plan, which was approved by the KCC on March Wilson K.

Ernst&Whinney 2000 city center square 1100 Main Street Kansas City, Missouri 64105 816/474-8050 Board of Trustees Kansas Electric Power Cooperative, Inc.

Topeka, Kansas We have examined the balance sheets of Kansas Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. as of December 31, 1986 and 1985, and the related statements of patronage capital (deficit) and other equities, operations and changes in financial position for the years then ended.

Our examinations were made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

In our report dated March 10, 1986, our opinion on the 1985 financial statements was qualified as being subject to the effects on the financial statements of such adjustments, if any, as might have been required had the outcome of an issue with the Kansas Corporation Commission been known.

As explained in Note C, this issue was resolved in KEPCo's favor.

Accordingly, our present opinion on the 1985 financial statements, as presented herein, is different from that expressed in our previous report.

As discussed in Note D, the Kansas Corporation Commission issued a rate order ef fective February 1,1987 which included previously excluded utility plant costs.

However, no provision was made in the rate order for the recovery of the depreciation, property taxes and interest costs for the period of September 3,1985 through December 31, 1986.

KEPCo's management intends to request that the Kansas Corporation Commission allow them to recover these costs. The ultimate outcome of the issue cannot presently be determined.

In our opinion, subject to the effects on the 1986 financial statements of such adjustments, if any, as might have been required had the outcome of the uncertainty referred to in the preceding paragraph been known, the financial statements referred to above present fairly the financial position of Kansas Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. at December 31, 1986 and 1985, and the results of its operations and changes in its financial position for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.

December 31, 1986 NOTE A--

SUMMARY

OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Kansas Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. (KEPCo) maintains its accounting records in accordance with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) chart of accounts as adopted by the Rural Electrification Admini-f stration (REA). The more significant accounting policies are described below.

Utility Plant:

Utility plant (see Note B) is stated at cost.

Provision for depreciation is computed on the straight-line method at the following annual composite rates:

Electric Plant is Service 3.44%

Construction Completed not Classified 3.44%

Transportation Equipment 25 to 33%

office Furniture and Fixtures 10%

f Leasehold Improvements 20%

Depreciation and lease amortization for 1986 and 1985 amounted to

$7,425,370 and $2,494,492, respectively, of which $6,398,241 and

$1,647,673, respectively, was charged to depreciation and amortization expense with the remaining amount being charged to various deferred debits and construction in progress.

Leases which meet the criteria of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 13 are accounted for as capital leases. Amortization f

of equipment under capital leases is computed on the straight-line method over the lease period. Amortization expense for 1986 and 1985 amounted to

$25,009 and $27,283, respectively. Rentals paid under operating leases

{

are charged to operations as incurred.

Nuclear Fuel: The cost of nuclear fuel, including a provision for the disposal of spent fuel, is being amortized to fuel expense based on core burn-up.

During 1985, the total provision amounted to $1,579,121 of which

$945,727 was charged to nuclear fuel expense and the remaining amount was charged to deferred debits or capitalized as part of the cost of capital

(

assats under construction during the testing period.

The owners of the Wolf Creek Nuclear Plant have entered into a contract with the Department of Energy that provides for the permanent disposal of spent fuel.

g Investments in Associated Organizations:

Investments in associated organ-

[

izations consist principally of patronage capital certificates and subor-dinated term certificates of the National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corp. (NRUCFC). NRUCFC patronage capital certificates maturing

{

within a year of the balance sheet date are reflected as a current asset.

Short-Term Investments:

Short-term investments consist of NRUCFC commer-cial paper and are stated at cost which is approximately equal to market....

h f-NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONT'D V

NOTE C--DISALLOWED COSTS Effective October 1, 1985, the KCC issued a rate order relating to KEPCo's investment in Wolf Creek. The rate order disallowed approximately

$22,033,000 of the $209,000,000 of KEPCo's investment in Wolf Creek f.

included in the rate request and $2,600,000 of other costs, and disallowed

$6,400,000 of the $95,600,000 in annual revenue requested. The KCC issued a rate order effective February 1, 1987, which will allow KEPCo to recover these disallowed costs, as well as interest costs and property taxes related to the disallowed portion for the period from September 3,1985 through December 31, 1986, over the remaining life of Wolf Creek.

Depreciation, property taxes and interest costs related to the disallowed portion of $1,074,744, for the period from September 3, 1985 through December 31, 1985, and $2,920,264 for the year ended December 31, 1986, are included in deferred debits in the accompanying balance sheets..

NOTE D--UTILITY PLANT COSTS Certain utility plant costs totalling approximately $8,255,000 were not included in KEPCo's 1985 rate request, which was based on projected utility plant costs. Accordingly, KEPCo included the related depreciation, property taxes and interest costs of $1,017,878 for the year ended December 31, 1986 and $472,168 for the period from September 3,1985 through December 31, 1985 in deferred debits in the accompanying balance

{

sheets.

The February 1,1987 rate order included the above mentioned utility plant

[

costs of $8,255,000 in KEPCo's rate prospectively. However, no provision I

was made in the rate order for recovery of the related depreciation, property taxes and _ interest costs for the period from September 3,1985 through December 31, 1986. KEPCo's management intends to request that the f

KCC allow KEPCo to recover these costs.

However, if their request is not granted, the amounts included in deferred debits will he charged to expense.

It is management's expectation that KEPCO will be able to l

recover such costs.

NOTE E--DEFERRED DEBITS Deferred debits include certain operating expenses incurred by KEPCo during the period of September 3,1985 through December 31, 1986 related

(

to the operation of the Wolf Creek Nuclear Plant including depreciation, property taxes and interest costs of $3,938,142 and $1,546,912 at December 31,1986 and 1985, respectively, as explained in Notes C and D.

NOTE F--LONG TERM DEBT--CONT'D At December 31, 1986, KEPCo has an approved FFB loan guaranteed by REA with a balance of $162,900,000. REA has also guaranteed additional loans

[

of $30,000,000 and $10,000,000 (outstanding principal at December 31, 1986 f

amounted to $31,619,097). KEPCo has the option on the $162,900,000 in FFB mortgage notes to elect short-term maturity dates of not less than two years nor more than seven years after the date of the initial advance or may elect a long-term maturity date of 34 years after the end of the calendar year in which the initial advance was made. On the maturity of a short-term advance, KEPCo may refinance the advance with another short-term advance with a maturity date of not greater than seven years from the date of the original advance or may elect to refinance with a long-term maturity date of 34 years after the end of the calendar year in which the initial advance was made. At December 31, 1986, KEPCo had

$6,347,000 of advances with short-term maturity dates between January 1, 1987 and December 31, 1987. KEPCo intends to refinance these advances as described above or under other terms and conditions approved by REA.

Accordingly, these advances have been classified as long-term debt for financial statement purposes.

KEPCo has the option on the remaining $30,000,000 and $10,000,000 in FFB mortgage notes to elect short-term maturity dates of two years or a long-term maturity date of December 31, 2015. On the maturity of a short-term advance, KEPCo may refinance the advance with another short-term advance with a maturity date of two years or may elect the long-term maturity dates of December 31, 2015. At December 31, 1986, KEPCo had $7,791,169 of advances with short-term maturity dates between January 1, 1987 and December 31, 1987.

At December 31, 1986, KEPCo intends to refinance these advances as described above or under other terms and conditions approved by REA.

Accordingly, these advances have been classified as long-term debt for financial statement purposes.

Advances of funds from member and non-member cooperatives resulted from the transfer of assets and liabilities from the Kansas Electric Coopera-f tive Inc. to KEPCo during 1977. These funds were used to finance economic, engineering, legal and administrative investigations of projects that were being contemplated. The agreements with the cooperatives stated

{

that should an investigation result in the construction of a project or projects, amounts of investigation and development costs transfered to project utility plant accounts are to be reimbursable to the systems

[

participating in the agreements on a pro rata basis. During 1986, KEPCo L

refunded these advances of funds from member and non-member cooperatives.

During 1986 and 1985, interest incurred totaled approximately $22,328,000

(

and $24,157,000, respectively, of which $19,607,473 and $5,935,479, respectively, was charged to interest expense and the remaining amount was charged to various deferred debits (see Notes C, D and E) or capitalized as part of the cost of capital assets under construction. _ _ _ _. _ _ _ _

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONT'D l

NOTE I--INCOME TAXES--CONT'D f

The difference tetween the net operating loss shown in the accompanying financial statements and the net operating losses for tax purposes in 1986 and 1985 is due primarily to operating expenses deferred for financial l

statement purposes (see Notes C, D and E) and expensed for tax purposes and timing differences related to depreciation expense.

The investment tax credit carryforward will be reduced by 35% for years beginning on or af ter July 1,1987 and will be reduced pro ratably for the year ending December 31, 1987.

NOTE J--CONTINGENCIES In connection with the purchase of KEPCo's six percent interest in Wolf Creek, KGE and KCPL have filed lawsuits against KEPCo for approximately

$3,700,000 of KEPCo's capital credits from CFC. KEPCo's management believes there is no basis to the claims, however, should KGE and KCPL prevail, any amounts paid will be added to KEPCo's investment in Wolf Creek. In addition, the purchase agreement provided that KGE and KCPL would be indemmified for the tax consequences of the sale of Wolf Creek to

{

KEPCo. KCPL and KCE have received unfavorable Internal Revenue Service rulings which assessed KCPL and KGE approximately $3,000,000 and $250,000, respectively, in additional taxes resulting from the sale.

If KCPL and l

KGE are unsuccessful in appealing these rulings, they have indicated they I

will make claims against KEPCo for the amount of additional taxes paid.

Any amounts paid by KEPCo as a result of these claims will be added to KEPCo's investment in Wolf Creek. Any changes to KEPCo's rates as a f

result of this additional investment will be subject to KCC approval.

KEPCo is a defendant in various lawsuits which are in various stages of

{

investigation and litigation.

In the opinion of management and KEPCo's legal counsel, these lawsuits are of doubtful merit and will be settled in KEPCo's favor.

Commitments for contruction and acquisition of utility plant amounted to approximately $563,000 at December 31, 1986.
