Great
Plains Energy’s and consolidated KCP&L’s receivables decreased $12.6
million and $26.2 million, respectively. KCP&L’s joint owner
receivables decreased $18.3 million primarily due to lower receivables
related to Comprehensive Energy Plan projects and a $6.4 million
decrease
in wholesale sales receivables due to lower wholesale sales.
Strategic
Energy’s receivables increased $13.6 million primarily due to increased
revenues partially offset by a higher allowance for doubtful
accounts
primarily due to an increase in the aging of the small business
customer
segment.
|
· |
Great
Plains Energy’s combined refundable income taxes and accrued taxes of a
net current liability of $18.5 million increased $4.2 million
primarily
due to an increase at consolidated KCP&L partially offset by lower
income tax accruals. Consolidated KCP&L’s combined refundable income
taxes and accrued taxes of a net current liability of $28.7 million
increased $17.8 million from December 31, 2006, primarily due
to a $4.9
million impact of the adoption of FIN No. 48, which was mostly
a
reclassification from deferred income taxes, as well as a $15.0
million
increase in property tax accruals due to the timing of tax payments.
|
· |
Great
Plains Energy’s combined deferred income taxes - current assets and
deferred income taxes - current liabilities changed from an asset
of $39.6
million at December 31, 2006, to a liability of $1.5 million.
The
temporary differences due to changes in the fair value of Strategic
Energy’s energy-related derivative instruments increased the liability
by
$41.5 million.
|
· |
Great
Plains Energy’s derivative instruments, including current and deferred
assets and liabilities, increased $174.1
million from a net liability at December 31, 2006, to a $31.9
million net
asset primarily due to a $172.4 million
increase in the fair value of Strategic Energy’s energy-related derivative
instruments as a result of an increase in the forward market
prices for
power.
|
· |
Great
Plains Energy’s and consolidated KCP&L’s construction work in progress
increased $43.0 million primarily due to $37.7 million related to
KCP&L’s comprehensive energy plan, including $9.5 million for
environmental upgrades and $28.2 million related to Iatan No.
2.
|
· |
Great
Plains Energy’s other deferred charges and other assets increased $9.1
million primarily due to deferred costs associated with Great
Plains
Energy’s anticipated acquisition of
Aquila.
|
· |
Great
Plains Energy’s notes payable increased $241.0 million primarily due to
borrowings to make an intercompany loan to KCP&L.
|
· |
Consolidated
KCP&L’s intercompany payables to Great Plains Energy increased $225.0
million due to an intercompany loan from Great Plains
Energy.
|
· |
Great
Plains Energy’s and consolidated KCP&L’s commercial paper increased
$67.7 million primarily to support expenditures related to the
comprehensive energy plan.
|
· |
Great
Plains Energy’s and consolidated KCP&L’s current maturities of
long-term debt decreased $388.6 million and $225.0 million, respectively,
due to Great Plains Energy’s settlement of the FELINE PRIDES Senior Notes
by issuing $163.6 million of common stock and KCP&L’s repayment of
$225.0 million 6.00% Senior Notes at maturity with proceeds from
an
intercompany loan from Great Plains
Energy.
|
· |
Consolidated
KCP&L’s accounts payable decreased $37.9 million primarily due to the
payment of expenditures related to the comprehensive energy
plan.
|
· |
Great
Plains Energy and consolidated KCP&L’s accrued payroll and vacations
decreased $10.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively, primarily
due to
the 2007 payments of employee incentive compensation accrued
at December
31, 2006.
|
· |
Great
Plains Energy’s and consolidated KCP&L’s other - deferred credits and
other liabilities increased $10.6 million and $10.0 million,
respectively,
primarily due to a $9.6 million impact of the adoption of FIN
No. 48,
which was mostly a reclassification from deferred income taxes.
|
· |
Great
Plains Energy’s accumulated other comprehensive loss increased $68.5
million primarily due to a $68.1 million increase due to changes
in the
fair value of Strategic Energy’s energy related derivative
instruments
