Ihe first results of the aggressive sales phase of our markenng adnines were tabulated in 1983. In the residentul arena. the Company exceeded its goal of IJW o elettncally heated residential connections for the year Huilders equipped ~43 new homes and apartments with eledric heating and cooling systems m

and 300 replacement systems were installed on existing residential units This represented 24%

of 1983 new resvJential connedions and was nearly 3

three times the 1982 residential experience.

Commercial electric space heating hvad increased by 6 2 mw dunng the year, as compared with 1.2 mw in 1982 and the five year high of 4.5 mw added in 1980. This substantial improvement was part of dynamic activity in the commer ial sector across KCPlfs service area which contributed to an increase of 46 mw of commercial industrial load in 1983, some 61% above the 1982 addition and the highest since the 59 mw gain in 1980 Of these commercial projeds, about 40% or more than 1.5 million square feet was opened in Kansas City,.\\lissouri.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant System of Accounts: The accounting records of the Company are maintained in accordance Accounting Policies with the t'niform system of Accounts prescribed by the Federal Energ) Reguhtory Commis-sion ( FERC) and generally accepted accounting principles.

Utility Plant: t?til,ty plant is stated at historical costs of construction. These costs include taxes. payro!! related costs including pensions and wer fange benefits, and an alknvance for y

funds used during cowrudon.

Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFDC):AFDC includes the con of borrmved fanJs esul for coastruction purposes and a reasonable ra c upon other (equcy)

~,

+

funds The alknvance Ex bomnved funds represents an alkration ofinterest costs to construc tion, while the alh>wance for equity funds is a non cash item of income. AFDC is charged to construction work in progress during the paiod of construction. When a construction project is placed in service, the related AlDC becomes a part of the original cost of the completed plant which is used to establish rates for utility charges under established regulatory rate prac.

tices. De rates used to compute AFDC, before associated deferred income taxes, are com pounded semi-annually and averaged 12.1% for 1983,12.1% for 1982 and 11.0% for 1981.

Depreciation and Maintenance: Provisions for depreciation are computed on a straight-line basis pursuant to rates ordered by the Missouri Public Service Commission (MPSC).

Approximate annual composite rates were 3.62% in 1983,3.61% in 1982 and 3.63% in 1981.

The Company charges to maintenance expense the repairs of property and replacement and

~

renewals of items determined to be less than umts of property, except for such costs which are charged to clearing accounts and redistributed to urious operating, construction and other accounts. ne costs of renewals and betterments of units of property are charged to the utility plant accounts. Property units retired or otherwise disposed of in the normal course of busi-ness are charged to the reserves for depreciation, along with removal costs, net of sah~ age.

ne amounts of maintenance and depreciation expense other than those set forth in the Statements of Income are not significant. Rents and lease payments for railroad cars, computer equipment, buildings and similar items are also not significant.

Retirement Plans: ne Company has group annuity plans for all its regular employees, including officers, providing for benefits upon retirement, normally at age 65. Under the re-quirements of the Emph)yee Retirement income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) the Company is obligated to fund the benefits of the plan. The Company's policy is to fund pension costs accrued. Liability for past service costs is not significant. We annual costs of the plans were

$9.2 million in 1983, $9.3 million in 1982 and $8.1 million in 1981.

.. g i ?

I' At the annual saluation date of Odober 1, the actuarial present sulue of accumulated plan 1

benefits uns approxinutely $126 million for 1983 and $118 million for 1982, including $6 mil-tion and $3 million of nonwsted benefits, respectively. Plan net assets were approximately

?

$148 million for 1983 and $129 million for 1982. Rates of retum of 6% to 7% were assumed in detennining benefits.

A Revenue Recognition: %e Company utilizes cycle billing and accrues the amount of revenue for sales unbilled at the end of each reporting period.

Income lhxes: %e Company generally normalizes the effects of the use of accelerated tax depreciation methods. Deferred income taxes have been panided for the ditTerences between book and tax depreciation except for the effect of accelerated depreciation on Missouri prop-erty acquired prior to 1972. Accelerated depreciation methods include the use of the Asset Depreciation Range System and Accelerated Cost Recovery System which permit shorter lives.

Taxes deferred on property additions for certain prior years are now being restored to income as the timing differences reverse.

%e tax effect of the interest component of AFDC is normalized and the related accumulated deferred income taxes are credited to construction work in progress rather than deferred income taxes on the balance sheet. nis procedure wus followed for all jurisdictions untilJune 1983 when, in connection with a ste order; the Missouri Public Service Commission required the Company to no longer credit deferred income taxes against construction work in progress on the Missouri jurisdictional portion of Wolf Creek unit cosa and to reclassify such accumu-lated balance ($32 million at December 31,1982) from construdion work in progress to deferred income taxes on the balance sheet.

Le Company normalizes for all jurisdictional purposes, incluchng Kansas after December 1, 1981, the tax efr ts of pension costs, pa> Toll tnes and pmperty taxes which are capitalized on ec the books but deductul currently for income tax purposes %c effects of the current deduc-tion of removal co'ts are flowed through.

Imestment tax credits have been deferred when utilized and are tving amortized to income over the senice lives of the related properties. At December 31,1983, the Company had urmsed and unrecorded investment tax credits of approximately $32 million, which will be available to reduce Federal income taxes payable through 1998.

Subsidiary: %e Company has a wholly 4mned subsidiary,4W10 Fuels, Inc., organized for the acquisition and development of coal properties. %e Company has accounted for its investment in MulO Fuels, Inc., under the equity method and has not prepared consolidated financial statements because the effect of consolidation upon the accompanying financial statements would not be significant.

Notes to the Financial Data Adjusted for ChanginB Prices The information prescated abo,e is supplied in accordance with the requirements of FASB Statement No 33, " Financial Reporting and Changing Prices," for the purpose of providing cer-tain infcrmation about the effects of changing pnces. It should be e.ewed as an estimate of the approximate effect of inflation, rather than as a precise measure.

Constant dollar amounts represent historical costs stated in terms of dollars of equal pur-chasing powen as measured by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U).

Current cost amounts reflect the changes in specific prices of plant from the date the plant was acquired to the present, and differ from constant dollar amounts to the extent that specific prices have increased more or less rapidly than prices in general. The current cost of plant was determined by indexing the surviving plant by the IlandyAGitman Index of Public Utility Construction Costs. Since utility plant is not expected to be replaced precisely in kind, current cost does not necessarily represent the replacement cost of the Company's produdive capacity he current year's provision for depreciation on the constant dollar and current cost amounts of depreciable plant uns determined by applying the Company's composite depreciation rate to the average, depreciable plant amount calculated on a constant dollar and current cost basis.

Since regulation limits a recovery of fuel costs in tuse rate schedules to actual costs, fuel inventories are effectively monetary assets and have, therefore, not been restated from their historical cost in nominal dollars. Also, preferred stock has been treated as a monetary item.

Since only historical costs are deductible for income tax purposes, income tax expense has l

not been adjusted.

l Under the ratemaking prescribed by the regulatory commissions to which the company is subjed, only the historical cost of plant is recoverable in revenues as depreciation. %erefore, the excess of the cost of plant stated in terms of constant dollars or current costs that exceed the historical cost of plant is not presently recoverable in rates as depreciation, and is reflected as a reduction to net recoverable cost. To pngrly reflect the economics of rate regulation in the determination ofincome, the reduction of net plan: 'o net recoverable cost has been offset 28 by the gain from the decline in purchasing power of net amounts owed.
