                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   -----------------------------              
                                 
1.  Indianapolis Power & Light Company is a subsidiary of IPALCO
    Enterprises, Inc.
    
2.  In the opinion of management these statements reflect all adjustments,
    consisting of only normal recurring accruals, which are necessary to a
    fair statement of the results for the interim periods covered by such
    statements.  Due to the seasonal nature of the electric utility
    business, the annual results are not generated evenly by quarter during
    the year.  Certain amounts from prior year financial statements have
    been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.  These
    financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the
    audited financial statements included in IPL's 1994 Annual Report on
    Form 10-K.
    
3.  LONG-TERM DEBT

    On February 9, 1995, IPL issued First Mortgage Bonds, 6 5/8% Series,
    due 2024, in the principal amount of $40 million.  The net proceeds
    were used to redeem on March 15, 1995, IPL's $40 million First Mortgage
    Bonds, 10 5/8% Series, due 2014, at a redemption price of 102%.
    Accrued interest was also paid at the time of redemption.

4.  RATE MATTERS

    On July 21, 1995, IPL and the other parties to IPL's pending $88-
    million retail electric rate case presented a Settlement Agreement to
    the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC).  Under terms of this
    agreement, which requires IURC approval, new rates will be implemented
    in two steps to produce additional annual revenues of $35 million in
    step 1 and $25 million in step 2.  If the IURC approves the Settlement 
    Agreement, the step 1 increase is expected to become effective 
    approximately September 1, 1995.  The step 2 increase becomes effective
    June 30, 1996, conditioned on IPL certifying that the flue gas
    desulfurization units (scrubbers) at the Petersburg Generating Station are
    in service.  IPL last received an electric general rate increase order 
    in 1986.

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview
- --------

     The Board of Directors of Indianapolis Power & Light Company (IPL) on
May 30, 1995, declared a quarterly dividend on common stock of $20,422,892.
The dividend was paid by IPL to IPALCO Enterprises, Inc. in July, 1995.

     IPL's capital requirements are primarily related to construction 
expenditures needed to meet customers needs for electric and steam, as well 
as expenditures for compliance for the federal Clean Air Act.  Construction 
expenditures (excluding allowance for funds used during construction) totaled 
$42.2 million during the second quarter ended June 30, 1995, representing a 
$2.6 million increase from the comparable period in 1994.  This increase is 
mostly related to the construction of scrubbers at IPL's Petersburg Generating 
Station scheduled to be in-service in mid-1996.  Internally generated cash 
provided by IPL's operations and the issuance of short-term debt were used 
for construction expenditures during the second quarter of 1995.  Construction 
expenditures (excluding allowance for funds used during construction) totaled 
$86.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 1995, representing a $19.5 
million increase from the comparable period in 1994 due to the construction 
of the Petersburg Generating Station scrubbers during 1995.  Internally 
generated cash provided by IPL's operations and the issuance of short-term 
debt were used for construction expenditures during the first six months of 
1995.  Assuming IURC approval of IPL's electric rate settlement, IPL 
anticipates improved liquidity and currently faces no liquidity problems.

     The five-year construction program has had no changes to what was
previously reported in IPL's 1994 Form 10-K report.  (See "Cost of
Construction Program" in Item 7 of Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations in IPL's 1994 Form 10-K
report for further discussion).

     On February 9, 1995, IPL issued First Mortgage Bonds in the principal
amount of $40 million to replace comparable bonds that were at a higher
rate.

Future Rate Relief
- ------------------

     On July 21, 1995, IPL and the other parties to IPL's pending $88-million 
retail electric rate case presented a Settlement Agreement to the IURC.  The 
agreement will raise IPL's retail electric rates $60 million a year in two 
steps.  Step 1 will produce additional annual revenues of $35 million 
beginning approximately September 1, 1995, if the agreement is approved by
the IURC.  Step 2 will generate additional annual revenues of $25 million 
beginning June 30, 1996, conditioned upon certification that IPL's two 
scrubbers at the Petersburg Generating Station are in service.  


     
     


<PAGE>7     
     Under terms of the agreement, IPL will not seek another increase until
after July 1, 1997, at the earliest.  IPL also has agreed not to file a
request to build any large, base-load generating capacity before January 1,
2000.  This provision can be waived in extreme circumstances.  In addition,
the parties agreed to resolve pending litigation involving IPL's Clean Air
Act compliance plan. 

     IPL last received an order from the IURC authorizing an increase in
electric basic rates and charges in August, 1986.

New Indiana Regulation
- ----------------------

     On April 26, 1995, changes to existing Indiana utility regulatory laws
were enacted which increase the period to be used in Indiana's quarterly
earnings test from one year to five years and allow the IURC to consider
alternate forms of regulation.  The quarterly earnings test is applicable
to all Indiana electric and gas utilities.  The extension of the test
period will allow utilities, which can be significantly affected by weather
conditions, to average high and low periods when computing the quarterly
earnings test.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Comparison of Quarters Ended June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1994
     ------------------------------------------------------------            

     Income applicable to common stock increased $.9 million during the
second quarter of 1995 from the comparable 1994 period.  The following
discussion highlights the factors contributing to this result.

Operations
- ----------

     Electric operating revenues decreased $1.2 million this quarter
compared to the same period one year ago.  Cooling degree days in the
Indianapolis area were down 25 percent for the second quarter, compared to
the same period in 1994.  Kilowatthour (KWH) sales to less weather-
sensitive industrial customers, however, increased 2.4%.  Contributing to
the decreased revenues was a decrease of $1.7 million in fuel cost
adjustment recoveries.  This decrease was partially offset by increases in
retail electric KWH sales of $.3 million and miscellaneous revenues of $.2
million.  The following table is a summary of KWH sales to each customer
class:

<PAGE>8
     Fuel costs decreased $1.6 million due to a decrease in prices of $2.1
million, partially offset by an increase in deferred fuel costs of $.3
million and an increase in fuel consumption of $.2 million.  Other
operating expenses increased $1.8 million primarily due to increased
administrative and general expenses of $1.2 million and increased electric
distribution expenses of $.6 million.  Power purchased increased $.3
million due to increased purchases of short-term energy for 1995.
Purchased steam decreased $.4 million due to a decrease in prices and
therms purchased from an independent resource recovery system located
within the City of Indianapolis.

     Maintenance expenses decreased $4.6 million, reflecting decreased
expenditures for unit overhaul costs at the Petersburg Generating Station
of $2.7 million, decreased electric distribution expenditures for overhead
and underground lines of $1.6 million and decreased expenditures for
general maintenance at the Perry K Generating Station of $.3 million.

     Income taxes - net increased $.8 million primarily due to the increase
in pretax utility operating income.

     As a result of the foregoing, utility operating income increased 3.9%
from last year, to $30.6 million.

Other Income and Deductions
- ---------------------------

     Allowance for equity funds used during construction increased $.5
million due to an increased construction base.

Interest Charges
- ----------------

     Interest expense increased $.8 million primarily due to the issuance
of $200 million long-term debt in 1994.  The increase in interest expense
for the second quarter of 1995 was partially offset by decreased expense as
a result of refinancing certain first mortgage bonds during 1995 and 1994
with more favorable terms.

     Allowance for borrowed funds used during construction increased $.3
million due to an increased construction base.
                                 

     Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1994
     --------------------------------------------------------------           

     Income applicable to common stock decreased $3.0 million during the
first six months of 1995 from the comparable 1994 period.  The following
discussion highlights the factors contributing to this result.

Operations
- ----------

     The decrease in electric operating revenues of $5.7 million was the
result of milder weather during the first six months of the year compared
to the same period in 1994.  Contributing to the decreased revenues was a
decrease in retail electric KWH sales of $3.6 million, a decrease in sales
for resale of $1.4 million, due to decreased energy sales to neighboring
utilities, and a decrease in fuel cost adjustment recoveries of $1.1
million.  Miscellaneous revenues increased $.4 million.  The following

These expenses were partially offset by increased expenditures for unit
overhaul costs at the Pritchard Generating Station of $1.0 million during
1995 and increased expenditures for transmission station equipment of $.4
million.

     Income taxes - net decreased $1.4 million primarily due to the
decrease in pretax utility operating income.

                    PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
                    ---------------------------

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
- --------------------------

     On August 18, 1993, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission ("IURC")
entered an order in Cause No. 39437, approving the Environmental Compliance
Plan of Indianapolis Power & Light Company ("IPL") to comply with the Clean
Air Act Amendments of 1990.  The estimated cost of IPL's Environmental
Compliance Plan is approximately $250 million before including allowance
for funds used during construction.  A primary part of IPL's Plan,
scrubbing IPL's Petersburg 1 and 2 coal-fired plants by 1996 to enable IPL
to continue to burn high sulfur coal, was opposed by the Office of Utility
Consumer Counselor ("OUCC"), the Citizens Action Coalition ("CAC"), and the
Industrial Intervenors Group ("IIG").  OUCC, CAC and IIG appealed the
IURC's order to the Indiana Court of Appeals.  On June 30, 1995, the
Indiana Court of Appeals issued its opinion that while the substantive
findings of the Commission were appropriate, the Indiana statutory
provisions relating to the use of Indiana coal were unconstitutional.  The
Court remanded the Cause back to the IURC for reconsideration.

     On April 8, 1994, IPL filed a petition with the IURC, Cause No. 39938,
for authority to increase its rates and charges for electric service, to
continue the capitalization of allowance for funds used during construction
and to defer depreciation expense on IPL's Stout Combustion Turbine Unit
No. 5, to add to the fair value of IPL's utility property environmental
compliance capital projects and qualified pollution control property under
construction and for revised depreciation rates.  Settlement discussions
were conducted which resulted in a Settlement Agreement presented to the
IURC on July 21, 1995.  Significant provisions of the Settlement Agreement
include:  a two step rate increase; a moratorium on filing a new retail
electric rate case until July 1, 1997; absent an emergency, a moratorium on
filing for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to build a
retail base load generating unit until January 1, 2000; and establishing an
authorized return for fuel cost adjustment filings of $150 million for step
1 and $163 million for step 2.  As a result of the settlement, IPL can
increase its rates to produce additional annual revenues of $35 million in
step 1 and $25 million in step 2.  The step 1 increase will be effective
September 1, 1995 and step 2 becomes effective June 30, 1996.  The step 2
increase is conditioned on IPL certifying that the flue gas desulfurization
units (scrubbers) are in service.  The inclusion of the scrubbers
effectively concludes the pending issues in IPL's Environmental Compliance
Plan proceeding discussed above.  The remand of IPL's Environmental
Compliance Plan order to the IURC will be held in abeyance pending
implementation of step 2 of the rate case settlement.  The rate case
settlement is subject to IURC approval.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
- ------------------------------------------------------------

     The Annual Meeting of shareholders of Indianapolis Power & Light
Company was held on April 19, 1995.  IPL did not solicit proxies with
respect to its Annual Meeting, and the Board of Directors, as previously
reported to the Commission, was re-elected in its entirety.  Directors are
elected to terms of one year each which expire in April, 1996.
