Strategic Priority:
Branded National Presence
Characteristics:
No utility has more than 4% of electric market; our critical mass goal is
5% - 10% of energy market
Coming legislative changes will likely allow utilities to compete for
customers like AT&T, MCI, and Sprint, instead of limiting franchises
Opportunities:
Acquire a product with characteristics similar to electricity or natural gas
that may be sold nationwide today. . . security
Sell products (energy & security) under umbrella of brand names. Today we
market under the names Westar, KPL and KGE and soon
under Oklahoma Natural Gas
Investment Strategies:
Long-term growth and income opportunities reside with being a low-cost
provider of value-added services to end-user consumers
<PAGE>
Why Security?
Residential security business is attractive because of strong consumer demand,
double-digit growth rates and a fragmented industry
Home security is another profitable service that can be offered with other
products and services to gain customer loyalty in anticipation of electric
industry deregulation
Exposure already gained is enhanced by WSS acquisition and ADT offer: gaining
customer base, brand names, infrastructure and expertise
<PAGE>
Westar Security
Started with five acquisitions in 1995 and 1996, gaining approximately
110,000 customers which made us the 10th largest security company, by
estimated customer count, in the country

Acquisition of Westinghouse Security Systems (WSS) effective 12/31/96 makes
us the third-largest monitored security company in the U.S.
Announced offer for ADT on 12/18/96

What Analysts Think of WR Strategic Moves:
"The company is aggressively seeking to expand its access to customers on a
nationwide basis, and ADT fits the bill perfectly, with its superior
brand-name recognition and operations in 44 states as well as Canada and
Europe." NatWest Securities
"We believe WR's strong long-term growth rate offsets near-term dilution."
