INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Pinnacle West Capital Corporation
Phoenix, Arizona

We have audited the accompanying combined statements of net assets available for
benefits of The Savings Plan for Employees of Arizona Public Service Company,
The Savings Plan for Union Employees of Arizona Public Service Company and The
Savings Plan for Employees of Pinnacle West Capital Corporation (the "Plans") as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related combined statements of changes in
net assets available for benefits for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1999. These combined financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plans' management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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, such combined financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plans as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
combined financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental combining
information by fund is presented for the purpose of additional analysis of the
basic combined financial statements rather than to present information regarding
the net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for
benefits of the individual funds, and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements. This supplemental information is the responsibility of the
Plans' management. Such supplemental combining information by fund has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic combined
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects when considered in relation to the basic combined financial statements
taken as a whole.

                      THE SAVINGS PLAN FOR UNION EMPLOYEES
                        OF ARIZONA PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY

                                       AND

                        THE SAVINGS PLAN FOR EMPLOYEES OF
                        PINNACLE WEST CAPITAL CORPORATION

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND METHOD OF ACCOUNTING - The financial
     statements in this report reflect the combined assets, liabilities and net
     assets available for benefits and charge therein of The Savings Plan for
     Employees of Arizona Public Service Company (the "APS Savings Plan"), The
     Savings Plan for Union Employees of Arizona Public Service Company (the
     "APS Union Plan"), and The Savings Plan for Employees of Pinnacle West
     Capital Corporation (the "Pinnacle West Plan"). The APS Savings Plan, the
     APS Union Plan, and the Pinnacle West Plan are collectively referred to as
     the "Plans." The combined financial statements have been prepared on the
     accrual basis of accounting. Investment transactions are recorded as of the
     trade date. Dividend income is recorded as of ex-dividend dates. All the
     outstanding shares of Arizona Public Service Company ("APS") stock are
     owned by Pinnacle West Capital Corporation ("Pinnacle West").

          INVESTMENTS - The Plans consist of a salary reduction arrangement and
     an employer matching contribution feature. The investment programs for the
     Plans consist of:

               Pinnacle West Stock Fund -- The fund consists primarily of common
          stock of Pinnacle West. The common stock is stated at fair value based
          on quoted market prices in an active market.

               Index Fund -- The fund consists primarily of common stocks
          maintained by the Trustee (defined below) as part of a commingled
          fund. The fund is stated at fair value generally based on the last
          reported sales price on the last business day of the calendar year.

               Fixed Income Fund -- The fund consists primarily of several
          guaranteed investment contracts with varying rates of interest and
          varying maturities. The fund is stated at contract value which
          approximates fair value.

                                       -5-
<PAGE>
               Aggressive Equity Fund -- The fund consists primarily of common
          stocks maintained by Putnam Investments as part of the Putnam Voyager
          Fund, Class A. The fund is stated at fair value generally based on the
          last reported sales price on the last business day of the calendar
          year.

               International Equity Fund -- The fund consists primarily of
          stocks outside the United States and is maintained by Deutsche Asset
          Management as of December 1, 1998. Prior to December 1, 1998, the fund
          was maintained by Franklin Templeton as part of the Templeton Foreign
          Trust. The fund is stated at fair value generally based on the last
          reported sales price on the last business day of the calendar year.
          The APS Union Plan does not participate in the International Equity
          Fund.

               Conservative, Moderate and Aggressive Lifestyle Funds -- The
          funds consist primarily of cash, domestic stocks, international
          stocks, and domestic bonds and are maintained by the Vanguard Group as
          part of the Lifestrategy Portfolios: Conservative Growth Portfolio,
          Moderate Growth Portfolio, and Growth Portfolio. The funds are stated
          at fair value generally based on the last reported sales price on the
          last business day of the calendar year. The APS Union Plan does not
          participate in the Conservative and Aggressive Lifestyle Funds.

          BENEFITS - Benefits are recorded when paid.

          REALIZED GAIN (LOSS) AND UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) -
     Realized gains (losses) are determined based on the average historical
     cost. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is determined based on the
     fair value of assets at the beginning of the Plan year.

          USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in
     conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
     States of America necessarily requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
     during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these
     estimates.

2.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANS

          GENERAL - The APS Savings Plan and APS Union Plan (collectively, the
     "APS Plans") are administered by a committee appointed by the APS Board of
     Directors. The Pinnacle West Plan is administered by a committee appointed
     by the Pinnacle West Board of Directors. The Plans are subject to the
     provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
     ("ERISA"). Effective July 1, 1999, the Plans entered into a Trust Agreement
     with Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association (the "Trustee") which
     changed its name to Wells Fargo Minnesota, N.A. effective January 1, 2000.
     Prior to July 1, 1999, State Street Bank and Trust Company was the Trustee
     for the Plans.

                                       -6-
<PAGE>
          ELIGIBILITY - All employees of APS and salaried employees of Pinnacle
     West (collectively, the "Companies" or the "Employer") are eligible to
     participate in the pre-tax and after-tax features of the Plans upon
     attaining age 21 and completing thirty-one days of consecutive employment
     for the APS Plans and thirty days of consecutive employment for the
     Pinnacle West Plan, and are eligible to participate in the matching feature
     upon attaining age 21 and completing one year of service. The Pinnacle West
     Plan allows participation by employees of a company that becomes an
     affiliate of Pinnacle West if such employees were formerly participants in
     a certain type of qualified plan sponsored by their employer, regardless of
     whether they have satisfied the Pinnacle West Plan's other eligibility
     requirements.

          CONTRIBUTIONS - Participants in the APS Union Plan may direct APS to
     contribute any whole percentage from 1% to 10% of the participants' base
     pay as their tax deferred contribution to the Plan. In addition to or in
     lieu of making tax deferred contributions to the APS Union Plan,
     participants may elect to make contributions of up to 10% of their base pay
     as a voluntary contribution on an after tax basis, provided that in no
     event can the total tax deferred and voluntary contributions made by any
     participant in any year exceed 16% of his or her base pay. The APS Savings
     Plan and the Pinnacle West Plan allow employees to contribute up to 16% of
     their base pay on a pre-tax basis and up to 16% of their base pay on an
     after tax basis, provided that in no event would the total tax deferred and
     voluntary contributions made by any participant in any year exceed 16% of
     his or her base pay. The maximum allowable base pay ($160,000) and tax
     deferred contribution ($10,000 in 1999) are linked to the cost of living
     index and could change on an annual basis.

          Employer contributions to the Plans are fixed at 50% of the first 6%
     of an employee's pre-tax contributions. The Employer contributions may be
     in cash, common stock or other property acceptable to the Trustee.

          The Plans allow rollover contributions from another qualified plan or
     individual retirement rollover account, subject to certain criteria.

          INVESTMENT PROGRAMS - Participants' contributions may be invested in
     one or more of the following funds: Pinnacle West Stock Fund, Index Fund,
     Fixed Income Fund, Aggressive Equity Fund, International Equity Fund,
     Lifestyle Conservative Fund, Lifestyle Moderate Fund, and Lifestyle
     Aggressive Fund. Participants in the APS Union Plan may not invest in the
     International Equity Fund, Lifestyle Conservative Fund, or Lifestyle
     Aggressive Fund. The balance of non-participant-directed contributions and
     related earnings represents approximately $69,138,017 and $89,484,743 of
     the net assets available for benefits in the Pinnacle West Stock and Fixed
     Income Funds for 1999 and 1998, respectively.

                                       -7-

          LOAN FEATURE - Participants may borrow money from their pre-tax
     contributions account, vested Employer contributions account and rollover
     account (if any). Participants may not borrow against their Employer
     transfer account or their after-tax contributions accounts.

          The minimum participant loan available is $1,000, and the maximum
     available is 50% of the participant's vested account balance, up to
     $50,000, reduced by the participant's highest outstanding loan balance in
     the 12-month period ending on the day before the loan is made. Only one
     loan per participant may be outstanding at any one time. Loan terms range
     from six months to five years, or up to 15 years for the purchase of a
     principal residence. An administrative fee is charged to the participant's
     account for each loan.

          The interest rate is determined at the time the loan is requested and
     is fixed for the life of the loan. The interest rate is prime interest rate
     plus one percent, determined as of the first business day of the month in
     which the loan is issued. Interest rates for loans issued during 1999
     ranged from 8.75% to 9.50%.

          Loans are treated as transfers from the participant's investment funds
     on a pro-rata basis to the Participant Loan Feature. Loan repayments are
     treated as transfers from the Loan Feature to the participant's investment
     funds, based on the participant's current investment election. Loan
     repayments, including interest, are generally made through irrevocable
     semi-monthly (for the APS Plans) or bi-weekly (for the Pinnacle West Plan)
     payroll deductions.

          VESTING - Each participant is fully vested as to the participant's
     contribution account (consisting of the participant's contributions and
     related income and appreciation or depreciation). The participants become
     vested in their Employer contribution account (consisting of Employer
     contributions and related income and appreciation or depreciation) in the
     event of termination of service by death, disability or retirement, upon
     attaining the age of sixty-five, upon completion of five years of service,
     upon termination of the Plans, or upon complete discontinuance of Employer
     contributions; otherwise, participants vest in graduated amounts with 100
     percent vesting in five years of Plan participation, beginning with the
     first Plan year of Employee participation.

          WITHDRAWALS AND DISTRIBUTIONS - A participant may at any time make a
     full or partial withdrawal of the balance in the participant's after-tax
     contribution account and rollover contribution account. No withdrawals are
     permitted from a participant's transfer account. No withdrawals are
     permitted from the participant's pre-tax contribution account, except under
     certain limited circumstances relating to financial hardship. If an
     employee withdraws pre-tax contributions, the only earnings on those
     contributions that can be withdrawn are those credited prior to 1989.
     Generally, participants who are fully vested and who have participated in
     the Plans for five complete Plan years may withdraw the amount in their
     Employer contribution account. When the participant's

                                       -8-
<PAGE>
     employment with the Companies is terminated, the participant generally can
     elect to receive a distribution, as soon as administratively possible, of
     the vested portion of his or her Employer contribution account together
     with the participant's contribution accounts.

          FORFEITURES - Forfeitures of nonvested Employer contributions will
     occur upon distribution following termination of employment with the
     Companies. However, if a former participant again becomes an employee of
     the Companies prior to the end of the fifth calendar year following the
     calendar year in which the participant's earlier termination of employment
     occurred (and, in the case of the APS Plans, only if the participant, upon
     reemployment, repays in full the amount previously distributed from the APS
     Plans), the forfeited Employer contributions will be restored to the
     participant's Employer contribution account. Forfeitures are used to reduce
     future Employer contributions to the Plans.

          TERMINATION OF THE PLANS - It is the Companies' present expectation
     that these Plans and the payment of Employer contributions will be
     continued indefinitely. However, continuance of any feature of the Plans is
     not assumed as a contractual obligation. The Companies, at their
     discretion, may terminate their respective plans and distribute net assets.
     In this event, the balance credited to the accounts of participants at the
     date of termination shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable.

          CHANGES TO PLANS - In June 1999, the Board of Directors of Pinnacle
     West and in July 1999, the Board of Directors of APS approved the merger of
     the APS Plans into the Pinnacle West Plan as of December 31, 1999.
     Effective January 1, 2000, Pinnacle West will be the sponsor of the
     resulting plan.

3.   INCOME TAX STATUS

          The Plans have been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be
     qualified plans under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. As long
     as the Plans continue to be so qualified, under present Federal income tax
     laws and regulations: (a) participants will not be currently taxed on
     Employer contributions, on their own pre-tax contributions (see Note 2), or
     on investment earnings on any contributions at the time such investment
     earnings are received by the Trustee, but will be subject to tax thereon at
     such time as they receive actual benefits from the Plans; and (b) the Plans
     will not be taxed on their dividend and interest income or any capital
     gains realized by them or on any unrealized appreciation of investments.

4.   UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENTS

          Changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments for
     each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 were as
     follows:

                     Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
