                       ----------------------------------

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          -----------------------------


1.      Indianapolis Power & Light Company is a subsidiary of IPALCO
        Enterprises, Inc.

2.      The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with generally
        accepted  accounting  principles  requires that  management make certain
        estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
        liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at the
        date of the financial  statements.  The reported amounts of revenues and
        expenses  during  the  reporting  period  may  also be  affected  by the
        estimates and assumptions management is required to make. Actual results
        may differ from those estimates.

        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 1996 Annual  Report on
        Form 10-K.

3.      LONG-TERM DEBT

        On May 1, 1997, IPL retired First Mortgage Bonds, 5 5/8% Series, due May
        1, 1997, in the amount of $11,250,000.

4.      SALE OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

        In December  1996, IPL entered into an agreement to sell, on a revolving
        basis,  undivided  percentage  interests  in  certain  of  its  accounts
        receivable,  including  accounts  receivable  for KWH  delivered but not
        billed,  up to an  aggregate  maximum  at any one  time of $50  million.
        Accounts  receivable  on the  Balance  Sheets are net of the $50 million
        interest sold under the IPL  agreement.  The gross amount of receivables
        sold was $55.6  million,  of which  $5.6  million  was  replaced  with a
        receivable from the purchasing party.

5.      NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

        In June,  1997,  SFAS No. 130,  "Comprehensive  Income,"  was issued and
        becomes  effective  in 1998 and  requires  reclassification  of  earlier
        financial  statements for  comparative  purposes.  SFAS No. 130 requires
        that changes in the amounts of certain items, including foreign currency
        translation  adjustments  and gains and losses on certain  securities be
        shown in the  financial  statements.  SFAS No.  130 does not  require  a
        specific  format  for the  financial  statement  in which  comprehensive
        income is reported,  but does require that an amount  representing total
        comprehensive  income be reported in that statement.  Management has not
        yet  determined  the effect,  if any,  of SFAS No. 130 on the  financial
        statements.

        Also in June,  1997,  SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures  about  Segments of an
        Enterprise  and Related  Information,"  was issued.  The Statement  will
        change the way public  companies  report  information  about segments of
        their business in their annual financial statements and requires them to
        report selected segment information in their quarterly reports issued to
        shareholders.   It  also  requires  entity-wide  disclosures  about  the
        products and  services an entity  provides,  the  material  countries in
        which it holds  assets and reports  revenues,  and its major  customers.
        SFAS No. 131 is effective for fiscal years  beginning after December 15,
        1997.  Management has not yet determined the effect, if any, of SFAS No.
        131 on the financial statements.

6.      SUBSEQUENT EVENT

        IPALCO filed  preliminary  documents  with the  Securities  and Exchange
        Commission  on  August  8,  1997,  describing  a  contemplated  offer to
        purchase  for  cash any and all  outstanding  shares  of the  cumulative
        preferred   stock  of  IPL.   The  offer  is   conditioned   upon  IPL's
        shareholders'  approval of an  amendment  to IPL's  Amended  Articles of
        Incorporation  (the  "Articles")  which would  remove a provision of the
        Articles  limiting IPL's ability to issue  unsecured  debt. In addition,
        preferred  shareholders  who wish to tender their shares pursuant to the
        offer must vote in favor of the Articles Amendment.  In conjunction with
        the filing, IPL filed a preliminary Proxy Statement for potential use in
        soliciting  proxies  for a special  meeting  of  shareholders  of IPL to
        consider the Articles Amendment.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview
- --------

         During  the  second   quarter  of  1997  the  Board  of   Directors  of
Indianapolis  Power & Light Company (IPL) declared  dividends on common stock on
April  29,  May  27 and  June  24 of  $2,500,000,  $19,636,604  and  $2,000,000,
respectively . The dividends were paid by IPL to IPALCO Enterprises, Inc.

         IPL's  capital  requirements  are  primarily  related  to  construction
expenditures  needed to meet customers' needs for electricity and steam, as well
as  expenditures  for  compliance  with the federal Clean Air Act.  Construction
expenditures  (excluding allowance for funds used during  construction)  totaled
$17.2 million during the second quarter ended June 30, 1997, representing a $5.2
million  decrease from the  comparable  period in 1996.  This decrease is mostly
related to reduced construction  spending in the second quarter of 1997 compared
to 1996  for  the  scrubbers  at  IPL's  Petersburg  Generating  Station  as the
construction  project was  completed  in June 1996.  Internally  generated  cash
provided by IPL's operations was used for construction  expenditures  during the
second quarter of 1997. Construction expenditures (excluding allowance for funds
used during construction) totaled $30.6 million during the six months ended June
30, 1997,  representing a $14.8 million  decrease from the comparable  period in
1996. This difference is mostly related to reduced construction spending in 1997
compared to 1996 for the scrubbers at IPL's Petersburg  Generating  Station that
went into  service in June 1996.  Internally  generated  cash  provided by IPL's
operations was used for construction expenditures during the first six months of
1997.  As a result of IPL's new basic  electric  rates and  charges  and reduced
capital spending, IPL anticipates continued improving liquidity.

         The five-year construction program has not changed from that previously
reported in IPL's 1996 Form 10-K report. (See "Future  Performance" in Item 7 of
Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations in IPL's 1996 Form 10-K report for further discussion).

         On May 1, 1997,  IPL retired First Mortgage  Bonds, 5 5/8% Series,  due
May 1, 1997, in the amount of $11,250,000.

Rate Relief
- -----------

         The Indiana  Utility  Regulatory  Commission  approved a two-step  rate
increase  for IPL  customers in September  1995.  The initial step  increase was
effective  September 1, 1995, and the second step increase became effective July
1, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Comparison of Second Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 1997
         ---------------------------------------------------------------
             with Second Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 1996
             ------------------------------------------------------

         Income applicable to common stock was flat for the second quarter ended
and increased $2.0 million for the six months ended of 1997 compared to the 1996
periods. The following  discussion  highlights the factors contributing to these
results.


<PAGE>8

Operating Revenues
- ------------------

       Operating revenues during the second quarter and six months ended of 1997
increased  from the  comparable  1996 periods by $1.1 million and $4.9  million,
respectively. The increases in revenues resulted from the following:

</TABLE>

         The  increases  in base rate  electric  revenues  are the result of new
tariffs,  effective  July 1, 1996,  designed to produce  $25-million  additional
annual  revenues.  The  decrease in retail KWH sales was due to milder  weather.
During the second  quarter of 1997 cooling  degree days decreased 38% and in the
first quarter of 1997,  heating degree days decreased 12%,  compared to the same
periods  in 1996.  The  changes  in fuel  revenues  in 1997 from the prior  year
reflect changes in total fuel costs billed  customers.  The increased  wholesale
sales during the second quarter and six months ended of 1997, as compared to the
same  periods  in 1996,  reflect  energy  requirements  of other  utilities  and
increased wholesale marketing efforts.

Operating Expenses
- ------------------

         Fuel  expenses  in the  second  quarter  and six  months  ended of 1997
decreased  from the same  periods a year ago by $2.9  million and $5.7  million,
respectively.  The primary  reason for the decrease in the second  quarter was a
decrease in deferred fuel cost of $2.7 million. A deferred fuel cost decrease of
$4.8 million  contributed to the six months ended decrease.  Additional  factors
contributing  to the six month ended decrease were a decrease of $2.1 million in
unit costs of coal and oil and a $1.2 million increase in fuel consumption.

         Other operation  expenses in the second quarter and six months ended of
1997  increased  from  the same  periods  a year  ago by $2.3  million  and $1.9
million,  respectively.  The second  quarter  increase is comprised of increased
outside services of $1.1 million,  $0.7 million for increased  employee benefits
and $0.5 million for other administrative and general expenses.  The increase in
the second quarter was also due to increased  electric  distribution  expense of
$0.7 million and other increased  operating expenses which net to an increase of
$0.3 million.  Partially offsetting these increases to operating expenses in the
second  quarter  was the  gain  from  the sale of  emission  allowances  of $1.0
million.  The six months ended  variance is primarily  related to an increase in
outside  services of $1.9  million,  increases  to salaries of $0.9  million and
customer  accounts  expenses of $0.8 million offset by the gain from the sale of
emission allowances of $1.2 million.

         Power  purchased  decreased  by $3.2  million and $3.7 million from the
comparable  periods in 1996 during the second  quarter  and six months  ended of
1997, respectively.  The decrease in the second quarter was due to a decrease in
demand  charges  of $3.5  million  partially  offset  by an  increase  in energy
purchases of $0.3  million.  The six months  ended  variance was due also to the
decreased  demand charges of $3.5 million as well as decreased  energy purchases
of $0.2 million.  The decreased demand charges in both periods are a result of a
new power purchase contract taking effect in May of 1997.

<PAGE>9

         Maintenance  expense  increased by $1.5 million and $3.4 million during
the second  quarter and six months  ended of 1997  compared to the same  periods
last year.  The second  quarter  increase was  primarily  due to the repair of a
production unit at the Stout plant. The six month ended increase resulted from a
$1.6 million  increase for expenses at the Stout plant primarily  related to the
repair of a production unit. Increased  maintenance expenses of $0.8 million for
station  equipment in  transmission,  $0.6 million for the Petersburg  plant and
$0.4  million  for other  maintenance  also  contributed  to the six month ended
increase in expenses.

         Depreciation  and  amortization  expense in the second  quarter and six
months ended of 1997  increased from the same periods a year ago by $2.5 million
and  $4.6  million,  respectively.   These  increases  primarily  resulted  from
increased depreciable plant balances.

         Income taxes - net for the second  quarter and six months ended of 1997
increased  from the  same  periods  in 1996 by $1.1  million  and $1.9  million,
respectively.  These increases were primarily due to increased  pretax operating
income.

         As a result of the  foregoing,  utility  operating  income  during  the
second quarter of 1997 decreased 0.4% from the comparable 1996 period,  to $36.0
million.  Utility operating income during the six months ended of 1997 increased
3.2% from the comparable 1996 period, to $83.6 million.

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

         Allowance  for equity  funds  used  during  construction  in the second
quarter and six months ended of 1997  decreased from the same periods in 1996 by
$0.6  million  and $1.3  million,  respectively,  primarily  due to a  decreased
construction base partially offset by an increased equity rate which resulted in
a $0.1 million increase for both of the comparable periods.

         Other - net  increased  by $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the second
quarter and six months ended of 1997, respectively, compared to the same periods
in 1996. Both of these increases were as a result of increased net revenues from
contract work.

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

         Interest  expense in the second  quarter  and six months  ended of 1997
decreased  from the  same  periods  in 1996 by $1.9  million  and $3.2  million,
respectively.  The decreases  were due to the  redemption of $15 million and $50
million long-term debt issues during 1996 and $11.3 million in 1997 resulting in
decreases  to  long-term  debt of $1.0  million and $2.2  million for the second
quarter and six months ended of 1997,  respectively.  Short-term borrowings have
also decreased resulting in decreases to short-term interest of $0.9 million and
$1.0 million for the second quarter and six months ended of 1997, respectively.

         Allowance for borrowed  funds used during  construction  for the second
quarter and six months ended of 1997 decreased  from the  comparable  periods in
1996  by  $1.4  million  and  $2.8  million,  respectively,  due to a  decreased
construction base.
