TOGETHER WITH REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Investment and Benefits Committee of
Kansas Gas and Electric Company 401(k) Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of Kansas Gas and Electric Company 401(k) Plan as of December 31,
1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes in net assets available
for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements and the
schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1993, and reportable
transactions for the year then ended are presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

KANSAS GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY
401(K) PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1993 AND 1992
(1) PLAN DESCRIPTION:
The following brief description of the Kansas Gas and Electric Company 401(k)
Plan (the Plan) is provided for general information purposes only.
Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.
(a) General--The Plan is a defined contribution plan, established
January 1, 1987, to assist eligible employees of Kansas Gas and Electric
Company (KG&E). KG&E became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Western
Resources, Inc. (the Company) effective March 31, 1992. The Plan has
continued to operate as a distinct and separate plan for those
participants who were employees of KG&E as of March 31, 1992. Employees
are eligible to participate after one year of service. The Plan is
subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974 (ERISA), as amended.
(b) Contributions--Participants are allowed to make tax deferred
contributions between 1% and 14% of earnings subject to certain Internal
Revenue Code limits. Prior to April 1, 1993, the Company matched
participant contributions at its discretion. Beginning April 1, 1993,
pretax contributions up to the first 6% of a participant's earnings are
matched 50% by the Company. The Plan allows rollover contributions.
(c) Vesting--Participants are fully vested in their contributions and
earnings thereon. Participants who were eligible to participate in the
Plan prior to April 1, 1994, are also fully vested in the Company's
matching contributions. Employees who become eligible to participate in
the Plan after April 1, 1994, will have a nonforfeitable right to the
Company contributions after three years of service.
(d) Investment Funds--Participants may elect to have their contributions
and the Company's matching contributions invested in funds listed below,
excluding the Loan Fund. Allocations between the funds must be made in
10% increments. Participants may also elect once per quarter to
transfer their interests between funds.
Fixed Income Fund is invested in the Fidelity Employee Benefit U.S.
Government Reserves Portfolio, Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio of the
Fidelity Group Trust for Employee Benefit Plans and also various other
contracts which purchase high-quality, short- and long-term guaranteed
investment contracts (GICs), bank investment contracts (BICs), and
short-term money market instruments.
Equity-Income Fund is invested entirely in the Fidelity Equity-Income
Fund. The fund invests primarily in income-producing equity securities
which offer a combination of share price appreciation and income
earnings.
Magellan Fund is invested entirely in the Fidelity Magellan Fund, a
diversified equity fund invested in equity securities providing long-
term capital appreciation.
Commpany Common Stock Fund is invested in the Company's common stock.
Dividends from stock held in the fund are used to purchase additional
shares of Company stock.
Loan Fund is a conduit for the distribution and repayment of loan
proceeds. The investments in the fund represent loans due from
participants.
The investments in Fixed Income Fund are valued at contract value. The
investments in Equity-Income Fund, Magellan Fund and Company Common
Stock Fund are stated at quoted market values. Investments in Loan Fund
are stated at face value.
(e) Loans to Participants--After participating in the Plan for 18
months, participants are permitted to borrow a specified portion of the
vested balances in their individual accounts in accordance with the Plan
provisions. Loan interest rates and terms are established by the
Investment and Benefits Committee and all loans must be approved by that
Committee.
(f) Withdrawals While Employed--Participants may withdraw all or a
portion of their pre-tax employee contributions once they have attained
the age of 59 1/2 or in the case of a financial hardship. Financial
hardship is defined as an immediate and heavy financial need resulting
from medical expenses, payment of tuition for post-secondary education,
the purchase of a principal residence, or to prevent eviction from a
principal residence.
(g) Termination Payments--Upon retirement, death, disability or
termination of employment, all balances are paid to the participant or
his beneficiaries in accordance with Plan terms.
(h) Participant Accounts--A separate account is maintained for each
participant. Employer and employee contributions are remitted to the
Trustee and the funds are subsequently transferred to various investment
agents to purchase units of the funds detailed in Note 1(d) above
according to the participant's election. Allocations to participant
accounts for the net of investment income, realized and unrealized
changes in investment market value and Plan expenses are made when such
amounts are earned or incurred.
(i) Income Taxes--The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on
October 21, 1987, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the
Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended
since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan
Administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been
included in the Plan's financial statements.
(j) Plan Termination--The Company may terminate the Plan at any time.
(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
(a) Basis of Accounting--The Plan's financial statements are maintained
on the accrual basis. Employer and employee contributions are accrued
as the employees' salaries are earned.
(b) Administrative expenses--Administrative expenses of the Plan were
paid by the Plan sponsor during the years ended December 31, 1993 and
1992.
(c) Reclassifications--Certain amounts in prior years have been
reclassified to conform with classifications used in the current year.
(3) PLAN AMENDMENTS:
The Plan was amended and restated effective March 31, 1992. Effective
January 1, 1993 the Plan was amended to allow catch-up contributions.
(4) INVESTMENTS:
The following investments represent over 5% of net assets available for
benefits at December 31, 1993 and/or 1992:
