Purchase of Stock from Protection One On February 14, 2003, we purchased 850,000 shares of our common stock and approximately 34,000 shares of our preferred stock from Protection One for approximately $11.6 million. This transaction was approved by the KCC. The shares of common stock are being held as treasury stock and the shares of preferred stock have been retired. This transaction had no effect on the consolidated financial statements.      Purchases of Debt Securities From January 1, 2003 through March 14, 2003 we purchased $35.3 million face value of our putable/callable notes and $43.0 million face value of our 6.875% senior unsecured notes in the open market.      Termination of Plane Lease During March 2003, we terminated the lease of an airplane and incurred an expense of $5.9 million related to this termination. 35. POTENTIAL LIABILITIES TO DAVID C. WITTIG        AND DOUGLAS T. LAKE David C. Wittig, our former chairman of the board, president and chief executive officer, resigned from all of his positions with us and our affiliates on November 22, 2002. Douglas T. Lake, our executive vice president and chief strategic officer, was placed on administrative leave from all of his positions with us and our affiliates on December 6, 2002. In connection with these actions, we reserved all rights and claims we may have against Mr. Wittig and Mr. Lake arising under their employment agreements, any other agreements with us, or any plan, program or policy in which they participated. In their respective resignation and leave letters, Mr. Wittig and Mr. Lake stated that they reserved all rights and claims they may have against us. During their active employment with us, we accrued liabilities totaling approximately $27.4 million for compensation not yet paid to Mr. Wittig and Mr. Lake under various plans. The compensation includes restricted share unit awards, deferred vested shares, deferred restricted share unit awards, deferred vested stock for compensation, executive salary continuation plan benefits and, in the case of Mr. Wittig, benefits arising from a split dollar life insurance agreement.		Additionally, as required by GAAP, we have made provisions in our financial statements for an additional amount of approximately $22.9 million should it later be determined that we are obligated to pay Mr. Wittig and Mr. Lake any amounts under their employment agreements. We do not concede, however, that any amounts are owed to Mr. Wittig or Mr. Lake, and we believe that we may have potential claims and defenses against Mr. Wittig and Mr. Lake. The compensation could include a pro rata portion of their unpaid bonuses for the year in which termination occurred, unused vacation, accumulated sick leave, severance, restricted share unit awards and related dividend equivalents, and increased executive salary continuation plan benefits. We believe the amount reserved adequately provides for potential obligations to Mr. Wittig and Mr. Lake. In addition to these amounts, we could also be obligated to record additional expense each year in which payments are made to Mr. Wittig and Mr. Lake pursuant to the executive salary continuation plan. Assuming an expected payout period of 35 years, the aggregate nominal amount of these expenses would be approximately $17.9 million for Mr. Wittig and $9.0 million for Mr. Lake. Also, if stock performance requirements for some restricted share unit awards were to be satisfied, we would be required to record additional compensation expense of approximately $4.4 million to Mr. Wittig and Mr. Lake. As of March 31, 2003, neither Mr. Wittig nor Mr. Lake has asserted any rights or claims against us for any of the amounts described above. We are unable to predict whether they will assert any rights or claims in the future. If they did so, we will vigorously defend against such claims and potentially assert counterclaims; however, the ultimate resolution of these matters is outside our control. ITEM 9.
