¶1Michael Uttefback appeals his convictions of two counts of forgery (K.S.A. 1993 Supp. 21-3710).
¶2We affirm in part and reverse in part.
¶3Utterback entered into a construction contract with Kim and John Manuel for a value of some $24,000. The Manuels had paid some $16,000 to defendant by the time things got interesting.
¶4The allegations were that defendant altered the construction contract in order to obtain credit from a supplier, Ron Hill of Associated Wholesalers.
¶5Defendant was convicted on one count of forgery for making the forged contract and one count of forgefy for delivering the forged contract.
¶6Among other contentions, defendant argues he was convicted of multiplicitous charges. We must agree;
¶7Our standard of review on questions of multiplicity is plenary. See State v. Perry, 16 Kan. App; 2d 150, 151, 823 P.2d 804 (1991).
¶8The statutory rule against multiplicity provides:
“(1) When the samecúnduct of a defendant may establish the commission of more than one crime under the laws of this state, the defendant may be *438prosecuted for each of such crimes. Each of such crimes may be alleged as a separate count in a single complaint, information or indictment.
“(2) Upon prosecution for a crime, the defendant may be convicted of either the crime charged or an included crime, but not both. An included crime may be any of the following:
(a) A lesser degree of the same crime;
(b) an attempt to commit the crime charged;
(c) an attempt to commit a lesser degree of the crime charged; or
(d) a crime necessarily proved if the crime charged were proved.” K.S.A. 21-3107.
¶9Generally, charges are not multiplicitous when one charge requires proof of an element not required to prove the other charge. State v. Hicks, 11 Kan. App. 2d 76, 80, 714 P.2d 105 (1986). But Hickswas decided prior to State v. Fike, 243 Kan. 365, 757 P.2d 724 (1988), and State v. Perry, 16 Kan. App. 150.
¶10In Hicks, we held that convicting a person of one count of making a forgery and one count of issuing a known forgery was not multiplicitous.
¶11Fikeapplied a two-prong test to determine a lesser included offense. Under the second prong, we must ask whether proof of the crime charged will necessarily prove another crime. See State v. Dixon, 248 Kan. 776, 784, 811 P.2d 1153 (1991).
¶12In Perry, we applied the Fiketest to determine a multiplicity issue. 16 Kan. App. 2d at 155. There, the allegations of the charging instrument demonstrated the State had to prove the charge of delivering a forged instrument in order to prove its charge of theft by deception. The charges were multiplicitous. 16 Kan. App. 2d at 154-55.
¶13In the instant case, the State proved the charge of making a forgery under K.S.A. 1993 Supp. 21-3710(a)(1) in order to prove the charge of delivering a forgery under 21-3710(a)(2), The second charge required the State to prove defendant knew he was delivering a forged/altered instrument when he provided Hill with the “fake” contract. The State proved the knowledge element by showing defendant was the person who had forged the contract.
¶14Perry and Fikerequire us to conclude defendant was charged with multiplicitous forgery counts.
¶15We conclude the other issues raised by defendant do not rise to the level of reversible error.
¶16*439One count of forgery is affirmed; one count of forgery is reversed.
