                        (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)

 NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000, THREE
    MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND THE PERIOD FROM JUNE 25, 1999 (INCEPTION)
                             THROUGH JUNE 30, 2000.

1.    ORGANIZATION

       AES Ironwood, L.L.C. was incorporated on October 30, 1998, in the State
       of Delaware, to develop, construct, and operate a 705-megawatt (MW)
       gas-fired, combined cycle electric generating facility in South Lebanon
       Township, Pennsylvania. AES Ironwood, L.L.C. was considered dormant until
       June 25, 1999, at which time it consummated a project financing and
       certain related agreements. The facility, currently under construction,
       will consist of two Westinghouse 501 G combustion turbines, two heat
       recovery steam generators, and one steam turbine. The facility will
       produce and sell electricity, as well as provide fuel conversion and
       ancillary services, solely to Williams Energy under a power purchase
       agreement with a term of 20 years that will commence on the facility's
       anticipated commercial operation date, June 30, 2001.

       AES Ironwood, L.L.C. is in the development stage and is not expected to
       generate any operating revenues until the facility achieves commercial
       operations. As with any new business venture of this size and nature,
       operation of the facility could be affected by many factors. Management
       of AES Ironwood, L.L.C. believes that the assets of AES Ironwood, L.L.C.
       are realizable.

       AES Ironwood, L.L.C. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AES Ironwood, Inc.,
       which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The AES Corporation. AES Ironwood,
       Inc. has no assets other than its ownership interests in AES Ironwood,
       L.L.C. and AES Prescott, L.L.C. It has no operations and is not expected
       to have any operations. Its only income will be from distributions it
       receives from AES Ironwood, L.L.C. and AES Prescott, L.L.C., once AES
       Ironwood, L.L.C. achieves commercial operation. The equity that AES
       Ironwood, Inc. is to provide to AES Ironwood, L.L.C. will be provided to
       AES Ironwood, Inc. by The AES Corporation, which owns all of the stock of
       AES Ironwood, Inc. The AES Corporation files quarterly and annual audited
       reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
       Exchange Act of 1934, which are publicly available. AES Ironwood Inc.'s
       equity contribution obligations are required to be supported by either an
       insurance bond or letter of credit. Currently those obligations are
       supported by an insurance bond issued to the collateral agent.

       On June 25, 1999, AES Ironwood, L.L.C. issued $308.5 million in senior
       secured bonds for the purpose of providing financing for the construction
       of the facility and to fund, through the construction period, interest
       payments to the bondholders.

       Pursuant to an equity subscription agreement, AES Ironwood, Inc. has
       agreed to contribute up to approximately $50.1 million to AES Ironwood,
       L.L.C. to fund construction after the bond proceeds have been fully
       utilized.

2.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       In AES Ironwood, L.L.C.'s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair
       presentation of the unaudited results of operations for the six month and
       three month periods ending June 30, 2000, are included. All such
       adjustments are accruals of a normal and recurring nature. The results of
       operations for the period ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily
       indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

       The statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
       accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
       instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
       include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
       accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Because
       the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not
       include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
       accepted accounting principles, they should be read in conjunction with
       the audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 1999
       and notes thereto included in AES Ironwood, L.L.C.'s final prospectus
       dated March 31, 2000. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
       considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

3.    EQUITY SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

       AES Ironwood, L.L.C., along with AES Ironwood, Inc., has entered into an
       equity subscription agreement, pursuant to which AES Ironwood, Inc. has
       agreed to contribute up to approximately $50.1 million to AES Ironwood,
       L.L.C. to fund project costs. This amount is secured by an acceptable
       bond issued by AES Ironwood, Inc. AES Ironwood, Inc. will fund these
       amounts as they come due upon the earlier of (a) expenditure of all funds
       that have been established for construction or (b) the occurrence, and
       during the continuation of, an event of default, as defined under the
       indenture governing its senior secured bonds. A portion of this equity
       requirement may be made in the form of affiliate debt, between AES
       Ironwood, Inc. and AES Ironwood, L.L.C., which would be subordinate to
       the senior secured bonds.

4.    POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT

       AES Ironwood, L.L.C. and Williams Energy have entered into a power
       purchase agreement for the sale of all electric energy and capacity
       produced by the facility, as well as ancillary services and fuel
       conversion services. The term of the power purchase agreement is 20
       years, commencing when the construction of the facility is complete and
       the facility is commercially viable to produce electricity and related
       capacity, as well as to provide ancillary and fuel conversion services.
       Payment obligations to AES Ironwood, L.L.C. are guaranteed by The
       Williams Companies, Inc. Such payment obligations under the guarantee are
       capped at an amount equal to 125% of the sum of the principal amount of
       the senior secured bonds plus the maximum debt service reserve account
       required balance. AES Ironwood, L.L.C. has provided Williams Energy a
       guaranty issued by The AES Corporation of specific payment obligations
       should the facility not achieve commercial operation by June 30, 2001.
       The AES Corporation's liability under the guaranty is capped at $30
       million. AES Ironwood, L.L.C. has the option, and may be required under
       specific conditions described in the power purchase agreement, to replace
       the guaranty issued by The AES Corporation with a letter of credit issued
       by a


                                 (Page 8 of 15)
<PAGE>

       commercial bank. In such case, the repayment obligations with respect to
       drawings under the letter of credit are to be a senior debt obligation of
       AES Ironwood, L.L.C..

GENERAL

AES Ironwood, L.L.C. (the "Company") was formed on October 30, 1998 to develop,
construct, own, operate and maintain its facility. The Company was dormant until
June 25, 1999, the date of the sale of the senior secured bonds. The Company is
in the development stage and has no operating revenues. The Company obtained
$308,500,000 of project financing from the sale of the senior secured bonds. The
total cost of the construction of the Company's facility is estimated to be
approximately $359 million, which will be financed by the proceeds from the sale
of the senior secured bonds and the equity contribution described below. On May
12, 2000, the Company consummated an exchange offer whereby the holders of the
senior secured bonds were able to exchange their privately placed senior secured
bonds for registered senior secured bonds.

The Company's facility is still under construction and is expected to be
completed and operational by approximately June 30, 2001.

EQUITY CONTRIBUTIONS

Under the equity subscription agreement, AES Ironwood, Inc. is obligated to
contribute up to


                                (Page 10 of 15)
<PAGE>

approximately $50.1 million to the Company to fund project costs. AES Ironwood,
Inc.'s obligation to make the contributions is, and will be, supported by an
acceptable letter of credit or an acceptable bond.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the period from June 25, 1999 (inception) through June 30, 2000, costs in
the amount of $276,398,000 pertaining to the cost of the construction of the
Company's facility have been capitalized as Construction Work in Progress and
are included as assets on the balance sheet. Interest capitalized during this
period was approximately $20.1 million. The cost of purchasing land for
construction of the Company's facility has been separately identified on the
Balance Sheets.

From June 25, 1999 (inception) through June 30, 2000, general and administrative
costs of $170,000 were incurred. These costs did not directly relate to
construction and are included as expenses in the Statement of Operations.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the senior secured bonds have not yet
been expended on construction and were invested by the trustee. The interest
income earned on these invested funds is included in the Statement of
Operations.

The interest expense incurred on the portion of the bond proceeds expended
during the construction period is capitalized to Construction in Progress and is
included on the balance sheet. Interest expense incurred on the bond proceeds
not spent on construction of the Company's facility are included as interest
expense in the Statement of Operations.

For the period from June 25, 1999 (inception) through June 30, 2000,
non-capitalizable costs plus interest expense and less interest income resulted
in a net loss on the June 25, 1999 (inception) through June 30, 2000 Statement
of Operations of approximately $3.3 million. The results of operations may not
be comparable with the results of operations during future periods, especially
when the Company's facility begins commercial operations in 2001.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company believes that the net proceeds from the sale of the senior secured
bonds, together with the equity contribution, will be sufficient to (1) fund the
engineering, procurement, construction, testing and commissioning of the
Company's facility until it is placed in commercial operation, (2) pay certain
fees and expenses in connection with the financing and development of the
Company's project and (3) pay project costs, including interest on the senior
secured bonds. After the Company's facility is placed in commercial operation,
it will depend on revenues under the power purchase agreement, and after the
power purchase agreement expires, it will depend on market sales of electricity.

In order to provide liquidity in the event of cash flow shortfalls, the debt
service reserve account will contain an amount equal to the debt service reserve
account required balance through cash funding, issuance of the debt service
reserve letter of credit or a combination of the two.

As of June 30, 2000, the Company had commitments totaling $240 million arising
from the construction of its facility. Of this commitment, $212 million has been
paid as of June 30, 2000. In addition, the Company has committed to two
additional capital expenditures totaling $5.7 million. One is for a pipeline


                                (Page 11 of 15)
<PAGE>

for $2.5 million and the other is for a pumping station for $3.2 million. Of
these two commitments, $4.6 million has been paid as of June 30, 2000. The
remainder of the committed amounts are expected to be paid in fiscal years
2000 and 2001. These amounts are expected to be paid out of the proceeds from
the sale of the senior secured bonds and the equity contribution.

BUSINESS STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

The Company's overall business strategy is to market and sell all of its net
capacity, fuel conversion and ancillary services to Williams Energy during the
term of the power purchase agreement. After expiration of the power purchase
agreement, the Company anticipates selling its facility's capacity, ancillary
services and energy under a power purchase agreement or into the
Pennsylvania/New Jersey/Maryland power pool market. The Company intends to cause
its facility to be managed, operated and maintained in compliance with the
project contracts and all applicable legal requirements.

ITEM 3.           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

AES Ironwood, L.L.C's market risks are not materially different from those
market risks described in the final prospectus dated March 31, 2000.
