               as of the date on which it was filed); and
          *    no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary to
               make the statements in the covered report, in light of the
               circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of
               the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case of a
               report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the date
               on which it was filed).

     (2) I have reviewed the contents of this statement with Pinnacle West
Capital Corporation's Audit Committee.

     (3) In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or
before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

          *    the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
               31, 2001 of Pinnacle West Capital Corporation;
          *    all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all
