                         IPALCO ENTERPRISES, INC.
                    REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR 1994

     Indianapolis, IN, January 31, 1995 -- IPALCO Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE:
IPL), today announced financial results for 1994.

     Net income for the year ended December 31, 1994, was $93.0 million, or
$2.46 per share, compared to $75.4 million, or $2.00 per share, during the
comparable period in 1993.  During the fourth quarter of 1994, net income was
$17.6 million, or 47 cents per share, compared to $18.0 million, or 48 cents
per share, in 1993.

     Utility operating revenues during 1994 were $686.1 million versus $664.3
million during 1993.  Retail kilowatthour sales during 1994 increased 1.7
percent compared to 1993.  The increase in sales is primarily attributable to
the continued strength of the service territory's economy.

     Cooling degree days were up 4.2 percent above normal during 1994, and
heating degree days were 7.5 percent below normal.  Sales to industrial
customers, which are less weather-sensitive, increased 2.2 percent in 1994,
compared to 1993.

     Reported earnings rebounded, principally, because 1993 earnings were
impacted by the expenses IPALCO incurred in its attempt to acquire PSI
Resources, Inc.

     Commenting on the results, John R. Hodowal, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of IPALCO, said "IPALCO employees and shareholders can be proud that,
as our low-cost energy businesses continue to expand, we are helping all our
customers to be more competitive.

     "As a result of significant customer demand for district air conditioning
in Indianapolis, Mid-America Energy Resources grew last year to become one of
the largest district cooling systems in the nation.  In addition,
Mid-America's subsidiary, Cleveland District Cooling, is successfully
competing against two other energy providers for air conditioning contracts in
Cleveland, Ohio.  Customers are beginning to appreciate that district cooling
is a unique, low-cost alternative to traditional building air conditioning
systems.

     Hodowal concluded, "We at IPALCO are confident that we can continue to
provide not only some of the lowest cost electric energy anywhere but also
unique products and services like district air conditioning, campus energy,
and energy storage."

     IPALCO Enterprises, Inc., is a multi-state energy company providing a
variety of energy products and services.  IPALCO's primary subsidiary,
Indianapolis Power & Light Company, provides retail electric service to
approximately 400,000 commercial, residential and industrial customers in
Indianapolis and in portions of other Central Indiana counties.

To the Board of Directors of
  INDIANAPOLIS POWER & LIGHT COMPANY:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets and statements of
capitalization of Indianapolis Power & Light Company as of December 31,
1994 and 1993, and the related statements of income, retained earnings, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1994.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Indianapolis Power &
Light Company as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                     Notes to Financial Statements
         For the Years Ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992
         ----------------------------------------------------

 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     All the outstanding common stock of Indianapolis Power & Light
Company (IPL) is owned by IPALCO Enterprises, Inc.  At December 31, 1994
and 1993, IPL had a receivable, which is due on demand, for advances
made to IPALCO.

     System of Accounts--The accounts of IPL are maintained in
accordance with the system of accounts prescribed by the Indiana Utility
Regulatory Commission (IURC), which system substantially conforms to
that prescribed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

     Revenues--Revenues are recorded as billed to customers on a monthly
cycle billing basis.  Revenue is not accrued for energy delivered but
unbilled at the end of the year.  A fuel adjustment charge provision,
which is established after public hearing, is applicable to
substantially all the rate schedules of IPL, and permits the billing or
crediting of fuel costs above or below the levels included in such rate
schedules.

     Under current IURC practice, future fuel adjustment revenues may be
temporarily reduced should actual operating expenses be less than or
income levels be above amounts authorized by the IURC.

     Authorized Annual Operating Income--In an IURC order dated May 6,
1992, IPL's maximum authorized annual electric operating income, for
purposes of quarterly earnings tests, was established at approximately
$147 million through July 31, 1992, declining ratably to approximately
$144 million at July 31, 1993.  This level will be maintained until an
order has been issued in IPL's pending general electric rate proceeding.
Additionally, through the date of IPL's next general electric rate
order, IPL is required to file upward and downward adjustments in fuel
cost credits and charges on a quarterly basis.

     As provided in an order dated December 21, 1992, IPL's authorized
annual steam net operating income is $6.2 million, plus any cumulative
annual underearnings occurring during the five-year period subsequent to
the implementation of the new rate tariffs.

     Deferred Fuel Expense--Fuel costs recoverable in subsequent periods
under the fuel adjustment charge provision are deferred.

     Allowance For Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC)--In accordance
with the prescribed uniform system of accounts, IPL capitalizes an
allowance for the net cost of funds (interest on borrowed funds and a
reasonable rate on equity funds) used for construction purposes during
the period of construction with a corresponding credit to income.  IPL
capitalized amounts using pretax composite rates of 9.5%, 8.0% and 9.5%
during 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

     Utility Plant and Depreciation--Utility plant is stated at original
cost as defined for regulatory purposes.  The cost of additions to
utility plant and replacements of retirement units of property, as
distinct from renewals of minor items which are charged to maintenance,
are charged to plant accounts.  Units of property replaced or abandoned
in the ordinary course of business are retired from the plant accounts
at cost; such amounts plus removal costs, less salvage, are charged to
accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation was computed by the straight-
line method based on the functional rates and averaged 3.5% during 1994
and 3.4% during 1993 and 1992.  Depreciation expense for 1994 includes
an adjustment to property held for future use of approximately $3.9
million.


     Statements of Cash Flows - Cash Equivalents--IPL considers all
highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of 90 days
or less to be cash equivalents.

     Unamortized Petersburg Unit 4 Carrying Charges--IPL has deferred
certain post in-service date carrying charges of its investment in
Petersburg Unit 4 (Unit 4).  These carrying charges include both AFUDC
on and depreciation of Unit 4 costs from the April 28, 1986, in-service
date through the August 6, 1986, IURC rate order date in which IPL's
investment in Unit 4 was included in rate base.  Subsequent to August 6,
1986, IPL has capitalized interest on the AFUDC portion of these
deferred carrying charges.  In addition, IPL has capitalized $8.1
million of additional allowance for earnings on shareholders' investment
for rate-making purposes but not for financial reporting purposes. As
provided in the rate order, the deferred carrying charges are included
in IPL's currently pending electric rate case.

     Unamortized Redemption Premiums and Expenses on Debt and Preferred
Stock--In accordance with regulatory treatment, IPL defers nonsinking
fund debt redemption premiums and expenses, and amortizes such costs
over the life of the original debt, or, in the case of preferred stock
redemption premiums, over 20 years.

     Income Taxes--Deferred taxes are provided for all significant
temporary differences between book and taxable income.  Such differences
include the use of accelerated depreciation methods for tax purposes,
the use of different book and tax depreciable lives, rates and in-
service dates, and the accelerated tax amortization of pollution control
facilities.

     Investment tax credits which reduced federal income taxes in the
years they arose have been deferred and are being amortized to income
over the useful lives of the properties in accordance with regulatory
treatment.

     Effective January 1, 1993, IPL adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS
109), on a prospective basis.  This statement requires the current
recognition of income tax expense for (a) the amount of income taxes
payable or refundable for the current year, and (b) for deferred tax
liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that
have been recognized in IPL's financial statements or income tax
returns.  The effects of income taxes are measured based on enacted laws
and rates.  The adjustments required by SFAS 109 were recorded to
deferred tax balance sheet accounts, with substantially all of the
offsetting adjustments to regulatory assets and liabilities.  The
adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on IPL's cash
flows or due to the effect of rate regulation on the results of
operations.

     Employee Benefit Plans--Substantially all employees of IPL are
covered by a noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan (the Plan)
which is funded through two trusts.  Additionally, a select group of
management employees of IPL are covered under a funded supplemental
retirement plan.  Collectively, these two plans are referred to as
Plans.  Benefits are based on each individual employee's years of
service and compensation.  IPL's funding policy is to contribute
annually not less than the minimum required by applicable law, nor more
than the maximum amount which can be deducted for federal income tax
purposes.

     IPL also sponsors the Employees' Thrift Plan of Indianapolis Power
& Light Company (Thrift Plan), a defined contribution plan covering
substantially all employees of IPL.  Employees elect to make
contributions to the Thrift Plan based on a percentage of their annual
base compensation.  IPL matches each employee's contributions in amounts
up to, but not exceeding 4% of the employee's annual base compensation.

     Reclassification--Certain amounts from prior years' financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.

     Substantially all of IPL's property is subject to the lien of the
indentures securing IPL's First Mortgage Bonds.

 3.  DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107,
"Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments."  The estimated
fair value amounts have been determined by IPL, using available market
information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  However,
considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop
the estimates of fair value.  Accordingly, the estimates presented
herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that IPL could
realize in a current market exchange.  The use of different market
assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have an effect on the
estimated fair value amounts.

     
     Cash, cash equivalents and notes payable--The carrying amount
approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

     Long-term debt, including current maturities and sinking fund
requirements--Interest rates that are currently available to IPL for
issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to
estimate fair value.  At December 31, 1994 and 1993 the carrying amount
of IPL's long-term debt, including current maturities and sinking fund
requirements, and the approximate fair value are as follows:

1992.

     Restrictions on the payment of cash dividends or other
distributions on common stock and on the purchase or redemption of such
shares are contained in the indenture securing IPL's First Mortgage
Bonds.  All of the retained earnings at December 31, 1994, were free of
such restrictions.

     Cumulative Preferred Stock:

     Preferred stock shareholders are entitled to two votes per share,
and if four full quarterly dividends are in default, they are entitled
to elect the smallest number of Directors to constitute a majority.

Control Revenue Bonds issued by the City for the purpose of financing
pollution control facilities at IPL's Petersburg generating station.

     On April 13, 1993, IPL issued a First Mortgage Bond, 6.10% Series,
due 2016, in the principal amount of $41.85 million, in connection with
the issuance of the same amount of Pollution Control Refunding Revenue
Bonds by the city of Petersburg, Indiana.  The net proceeds, along with
other IPL funds were used to redeem on June 1, 1993, IPL's $19.65
million First Mortgage Bonds, 6.90% Series, due 2006, and IPL's $22.2
million First Mortgage Bonds, 6.60% Series, due 2008, at the prices of
$100 and $101, respectively, plus accrued interest.

     On October 14, 1993, IPL issued a First Mortgage Bond, 5.40%
Series, due 2017, in the principal amount of $24.65 million, in
connection with the issuance of the same amount of Pollution Control
Refunding Revenue Bonds by the city of Petersburg, Indiana.  The net
proceeds, along with other IPL funds, were used to redeem on November
15, 1993, IPL's $24.65 million First Mortgage Bonds, 5.80% Series, due
2007, at the price of $100 plus accrued interest.

     Also, on October 14, 1993, IPL issued a First Mortgage Bond, 5.50%

2013, at the price of $103 plus accrued interest.

     On February 3, 1994, IPL issued First Mortgage Bonds, 6.05% Series,
due 2004, in the principal amount of $80 million.  The net proceeds and
other funds were used to redeem on March 1, 1994, IPL's $33.2 million
First Mortgage Bonds, 7.40% Series, due 2002, at a redemption price of
101.79%, and to redeem on March 15, 1994, IPL's $19.75 million First
Mortgage Bonds, 7 1/8% Series, due 1998, at a redemption price of
101.20% and IPL's $25.2 million First Mortgage Bonds, 7.65% Series, due

at the time of redemption.

     Also, on February 3, 1994, IPL issued First Mortgage Bonds, 7.05%
Series, due 2024, in the principal amount of $100 million.  The net
proceeds were used in part to repay outstanding unsecured promissory
notes and for construction costs.

     On August 1, 1994, IPL retired First Mortgage Bond, 4.50% Series,
due August 1, 1994, in the principal amount of $7.5 million.

     On December 29, 1994, IPL issued a 30-year unsecured promissory
note which was issued to the city of Petersburg, Indiana, in connection
with the issuance of $20 million of Solid Waste Disposal Revenue Bonds,
due 2024, by the city of Petersburg. This note and the related bonds
provide for a floating interest rate that will bear interest at a tax-
exempt weekly rate. The net proceeds from this issue will provide funds
to pay costs of certain facilities and equipment to be used for solid
waste disposal purposes.  At the option of IPL, the bonds can be
converted to First Mortgage Bonds which would bear interest at a fixed
rate.

     IPL has a 30-year unsecured promissory note which was issued to the
city of Petersburg, Indiana, in connection with the issuance of $40
million of Pollution Control Refunding Revenue Bonds, due 2021, by the
city of Petersburg.  This note and the related bonds provide for a
floating interest rate that approximates tax-exempt Commercial Paper
Rates.  The average interest rate on this note was 2.98% for 1994 and
2.40% for 1993.  The interest rate at the end of the year was 3.85% for
1994 and 2.39% for 1993.  At the option of IPL, the bonds can be
converted to First Mortgage Bonds which would bear interest at a fixed
rate.

     IPL has a $60 million long term revolving credit facility which
provides liquidity, if necessary, for the two 30-year unsecured
promissory notes.  The revolving credit was unused at December 31, 1994.

     Maturities and sinking fund requirements on long-term debt for the
five years subsequent to December 31, 1994, are as follows:

     The Company has filed a Preliminary Official Statement with the
relevant regulatory authorities involving the sale of $40 million
Pollution Control Refunding Bonds by the city of Petersburg and the
issuance by the Company of its First Mortgage Bond in the like amount.
It is anticipated that this transaction will close in early February,
1995.  The proceeds will be used to refund the 10 5/8% Series, due
December, 2014.

7.  LINES OF CREDIT:

     IPL has lines of credit with banks of $100 million at December 31,
1994, to provide loans for interim financing.  These lines of credit,
based on separate formal and informal agreements, have expiration dates
ranging from January 31, 1995, to November 30, 1995, and require the
payment of commitment fees. At December 31, 1994, $95 million of these
credit lines were unused.  Lines of credit supporting commercial paper
were $21.4 million at December 31, 1994.  The weighted average interest
rates on notes payable and commercial paper outstanding were 6.17% and
3.36% at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

 
 
 
 
 
 8.  INCOME TAXES:

 9.  RATE MATTERS

     Electric Rate Case

     In the retail electric rate case now pending before the IURC, a
prehearing conference was held on June 8, 1994, and an order was issued
July 20, 1994, establishing a test year ending June 30, 1994.  IPL filed
its case-in-chief on October 11, 1994.  The IURC has scheduled hearings
on IPL's request to begin on February 7, 1995.

     Environmental Compliance Plan

     On August 18, 1993, IPL obtained an Order from the IURC approving
its Environmental Compliance Plan, together with the costs and expenses
associated therewith, which provides for the installation of sulfur
dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions abatement equipment and the
installation of continuous emission monitoring systems to meet the
requirements of both Phase I and Phase II of the Federal Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990 (the Act).  The order provides for the deferral of
net gains and losses resulting from any sale of emission allowances.
The order further provides for the amortization of such deferrals, as an
expense reduction or as an expense, to be included in the ordinary,
necessary and reasonable expenses for ratemaking purposes, on a basis to
be determined in a future general electric rate proceeding.

     
     
     
     
     
     
     Steam Rate Order

     By an order dated January 13, 1993, the IURC authorized IPL to
increase its steam system rates and charges over a six-year period.
Accordingly, IPL implemented new steam tariffs designed to produce
estimated additional annual steam operating revenues as follows:

     Demand Side Management Program

     On September 8, 1993, IPL obtained an Order from the IURC approving
a Stipulation of Settlement Agreement between IPL, the Office of Utility
Consumer Counselor, Citizens Action Coalition of Indiana, Inc., an
industrial group, the Trustees of Indiana University and the Indiana
Alliance for Fair Competition relating to the Company's Demand Side
Management Program (DSM).  The order provides for the deferral and
subsequent recognition as ordinary, necessary and reasonable expenses
for ratemaking purposes of certain approved DSM costs.  The order also
provides for the recording of a return on deferred costs until
recognized in the future for ratemaking purposes.

10.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS:

     IPL's contributions to the Thrift Plan, net of amounts allocated to
related parties were $3.3 million, $3.1 million and $3.1 million in
1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

     Approximately 19.5% of the Plans' assets were in equity securities,

     IPL also provides certain postretirement health care and life
insurance benefits for employees who retire from active service on or
after attaining age 55 and have rendered at least 10 years of service.
On January 1, 1993, IPL adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions"
(SFAS 106).  Generally, SFAS 106 requires the use of an accrual basis
accounting method for determining annual costs of postretirement
benefits.  The January 1, 1993, transition obligation of $122.4 million
is being amortized over a 20 year period.  Prior to 1993, the cost of
such benefits was recognized when incurred and amounted to $3.5 million
in 1992.

     IPL is expensing its nonconstruction related SFAS 106 costs
associated with its steam business.  The SFAS 106 costs, net of amounts
paid and capitalized for construction, associated with IPL's electric
business is being deferred as a regulatory asset on the balance sheets,
as authorized by an order of the IURC on December 30, 1992, which
provided for deferral of SFAS 106 costs in excess of such costs
determined on a cash basis. A request for inclusion of these costs as
ordinary, necessary and reasonable expenses for ratemaking purposes has
been made in IPL's pending general electric rate petition.

     The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation is 11.7% for 1995,
gradually declining to 5.0% in 2003.  A 1% increase in the assumed
health care cost trend rate for each year would increase the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1994, by
approximately $20.4 million and the combined service cost and interest
cost for 1994 by approximately $2.9 million.

     Plan assets consist of the cash surrender value of life insurance
policies on certain retired employees.

     On August 30, 1994, IPALCO's Board of Directors adopted a
Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association (VEBA) Trust Agreement for
the funding of postretirement health and life insurance benefits for
retirees and their eligible dependents and beneficiaries.  Annual
funding is discretionary and is based on the projected cost over time of
benefits to be provided to covered persons consistent with acceptable
actuarial methods.  To the extent these postretirement benefits are
funded, the benefits will not be shown as a liability on IPL's financial
statements.  The VEBA Trust Agreement provides for full funding of IPL's
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation in the event of certain
change of control transactions.

11.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

     In 1995, IPL anticipates the cost of its construction program to be
approximately $214 million.

     IPL will comply with the provisions of the Act through the
installation of SO2 scrubbers and NOx facilities.  The cost of complying
with the Act from 1995 through 1997, including AFUDC, is estimated to be
approximately $142 million, of which $125 million is anticipated in
1995.  During 1994, 1993, and 1992, expenditures for compliance with the
Act were $59.4 million, $13.7 million, and $20.0 million, respectively.

     IPL has a five-year firm power purchase agreement with Indiana
Michigan Power Company (IMP) for 100  megawatts (MW) of capacity
effective April 1992, with the purchase of an additional 100 MW (for a
total of 200 MW) beginning in April 1993.  The agreement provides for
monthly capacity payments by IPL of $.6 million from April 1992 through
March 1993, increasing to a monthly amount of $1.2 million which began
in April 1993 and continue through March 31, 1997.  The agreement
further provides that IPL can elect to extend purchases through December
31, 1997, and subsequently through November 30, 1999, with capacity
payments of $1.2 million per month and $1.55 million per month,
respectively.  IPL can terminate the agreement, should the ability to
include future demand charges in ordinary, necessary and reasonable
expenses for ratemaking purposes be disallowed.  Capacity payments
during 1994, 1993 and 1992 under this agreement totaled $14.4 million,
$12.6 million and $5.4 million, respectively.

     IPL is involved in litigation and environmental claims arising in
the normal course of business.  While the results of such litigation
cannot be predicted with certainty, management, based upon advice of
counsel, believes that the final outcome will not have a material
adverse effect on the financial position and results of operations.
With respect to environmental issues, IPL has ongoing discussions with
various regulatory authorities, and continues to believe that IPL is in
compliance with its various permits, but if IPL's position is found to
be erroneous, they could be subject to fines.

     The quarterly figures reflect seasonal and weather-related
fluctuations which are normal to IPL's operations.  Colder weather was
experienced in the first quarter of 1994 and warmer weather was
experienced in the second quarter of 1994, while weather conditions in
1993 reflected near normal conditions.  In addition, during the third
quarter of 1994, IPL expensed approximately $3.1 million of property
held for future use.
