Item 8.01 Other Information

On July 14, 2008, Great Plains Energy Incorporated (“Great Plains Energy”) completed its acquisition of Aquila, Inc., now known as KCP&L Greater Missouri Operations Company (“GMO”).  Immediately prior to the acquisition, GMO sold its Colorado electric utility assets and its Colorado, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska gas utility assets (the “Asset Sale Transactions”) to Black Hills Corporation.

Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is the unaudited GMO consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008, and the related unaudited GMO consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 (collectively, the “GMO Financial Statements”).  As the Asset Sale Transactions were completed immediately before Great Plains Energy completed its acquisition of GMO, the GMO Financial Statements reflect the Asset Sale Transactions as discontinued operations.  Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 is the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2008 for Great Plains Energy, reflecting the GMO acquisition subsequent to the Asset Sale Transactions (collectively, the “Pro Forma Financial Information”).  The underlying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for GMO, reflecting the Asset Sale Transactions, is also provided in the Pro Forma Financial Information.
