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 the KANSAS GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY 401(K) PLAN as of December 31,
1994 and 1993, and the related statements of changes in net assets available
for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements and the
schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of
reportable transactions for the year ended December 31, 1994, is presented for
the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements but is 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
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.
As discussed further in Notes 1 and 4, effective December 31, 1994, the Plan
was merged into the Western Resources, Inc. Employees' 401(k) Savings Plan.

KANSAS GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY
401(K) PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993
(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 was 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 partici-
pants who were employees of KG&E as of March 31, 1992. Employees were
eligible to participate after one year of service. Effective December
31, 1994, this Plan was merged into the Western Resources, Inc.
Employees' 401(k) Savings Plan (the WRI 401(k) Plan). See Note 4 for
more information. The Plan was subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended.
(b) Contributions--Participants were 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 were
matched 50% by the Company. The Plan allows rollover contributions.
(c) Vesting--Participants were fully vested in their contributions and
earnings thereon. Participants who were eligible to participate in the
Plan prior to April 1, 1994, were also fully vested in the Company's
matching contributions. Employees who become eligible to participate in
the Plan after April 1, 1994, have a nonforfeitable right to the Company
contributions after three years of service. Forfeitures were used to
reduce Company contributions.
(d) Investment Funds--Participants could elect to have their
contributions and the Company's matching contributions invested in funds
listed below, excluding the Loan Fund. Allocations between the funds
were to have been made in 10% increments. Participants could also elect
to transfer their interests between funds.
Fixed Income Fund was invested in the Fidelity U.S. Government Reserves,
Fidelity Management Trust Company Managed Income Portfolio 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.
<page6>
Equity-Income Fund was 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 was invested entirely in the Fidelity Magellan Fund, a
diversified equity fund invested in equity securities providing long-
term capital appreciation.
Company Common Stock Fund was invested in the Company's common stock.
Dividends from stock held in the fund were used to purchase additional
shares of Company stock.
The Balanced Fund was invested in the Fidelity Balanced Fund, a broadly
diversified portfolio of high yielding securities, including common and
preferred stocks and bonds.
Loan Fund was 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 were valued at contract value. The
investments in Equity-Income Fund, Magellan Fund, Balanced Fund and
Company Common Stock Fund were stated at quoted market values.
Investments in Loan Fund were stated at face value.
(e) Loans to Participants--After participating in the Plan for 18
months, participants were 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 were established by the
Investment and Benefits Committee and all loans were approved by that
committee.
(f) Administrative Expenses--Administrative expenses of the Plan
were paid by the Company.
(g) 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.
(h) Termination Payments--Upon retirement, death, disability or
termination of employment, all balances were paid to the participant or
his beneficiaries in accordance with Plan terms.
(i) Participant Accounts--A separate account is maintained for each
participant. Allocations to participant accounts for the net of
investment income, and realized and unrealized changes in investment
market value were made when such amounts were earned or incurred.
<page7>
(j) 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 these financial statements.
(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
(a) Basis of Accounting--The Plan's financial statements were maintained
on the accrual basis. Employer and employee contributions were accrued
as the employees' salaries were earned.
(b) Reclassifications--Certain amounts in prior years have been
reclassified to conform with classifications used in the current year.
(3) INVESTMENTS:
The following investments represented over 5% of net assets available for
benefits at December 31, 1993:
1993
Fidelity Management Trust Company -
Managed Income Portfolio $ 2,669,785

Western Resources, Inc. Common Stock 7,807,715
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company,
Group Annuity Contract #12651,
general account 15,695,725
(4) MERGED PLAN CHANGES:
Effective December 31, 1994, the Plan was merged into the Western Resources,
Inc. Employees' 401(k) Savings Plan. The following features have changed as a
result of the Plan merger: after-tax contributions of 4% of eligible
contributions are allowed, investment choices increased to eight, the minimum
loan amount increased to $1,000, other withdrawals are allowed with a penalty
of a 6-month suspension of Company match, all contributions will be
immediately vested, and maximum terms of a home loan changed to 30 years not
to exceed age 70.
