2011 earnings attributable to common stock	$	0.38		$	43,887

Major factors influencing the period to period change in EPS — Favorable/(Unfavorable)

A	Due principally to price increases; MWh sales increased 1 percent ( see page 7 for changes by customer class)

B	Due principally to decreased demand and availability; MWh sales decreased 19 percent reflecting less availability of generation for wholesale sales; average wholesale market prices increased 22 percent (see page 7 for changes by customer class)

C	Due principally to higher average cost of fuel used for generation, which reflects primarily replacement cost of fuel during the Wolf Creek refuel and maintenance outage

D	Due primarily to increased retail revenues largely from price increases

Increase due primarily to: higher regulatory compliance costs at Wolf Creek- ($2M); increased amortization of Wolf Creek refuel and maintenance outage cost - ($2.1M); increased maintenance for tree trimming on electrical distribution system - ($1.6M); increased ad valorem tax expense (largely offset by increase in revenues for property tax surcharge) - ($1.6M); recording in 2010 a reduction in maximum liability for costs associated with the sale of assets many years ago - ($5M); and decrease in expenses for completed storm amortizations - $2M

F	Higher plant balances associated primarily with transmission facilities and air quality control equipment

G	Increase due primarily to: higher legal fees - ($4M); amortization of energy efficiency program costs (largely offset in revenues through energy efficiency tariff) - ($0.9M)

H	Increase due primarily to: increased investment earnings from trust investments to fund retirement benefits- $3.2M; higher equity AFUDC - $1M

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation

Fuel and purchased power costs fluctuate with electricity sales and unit costs. As permitted by regulators, prices are adjusted to reflect changes in fuel and purchased power costs, and accordingly changes to these costs have a minimal impact on net income. For this reason, Westar management believes that gross margin is a useful measure for understanding changes in operating performance from one period to the next. Gross margin is calculated as total revenues less the sum of fuel and purchased power costs and SPP network transmission costs. SPP network transmission costs are included as a component of gross margin because these costs reflect the costs of providing network transmission service, and a significant component of transmission revenue is recognized when providing this service.

Operating and maintenance expense includes SPP network transmission costs (SPP NITS). The SPP network transmission costs are included in gross margin for the reasons shown above, and are therefore excluded from operating and maintenance expense w/o SPP NITS used to reconcile earnings from the comparable prior year period to the earnings for the current period. Westar management believes this measurement is useful for understanding changes in operating performance from one period to the next. Operating and maintenance expense w/o SPP NITS is calculated by subtracting the SPP network transmission costs from operating and maintenance expense.

The calculations of gross margin and operating and maintenance expense w/o SPP NITS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are shown in the table below. The table also includes a reconciliation of gross margin to income from operations for both periods. Income from operations is the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to gross margin. Operating and maintenance expense is the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to operating and maintenance expense w/o SPP NITS.
