NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------
1. GENERAL
Indianapolis Power & Light Company is a subsidiary of IPALCO
Enterprises, Inc. 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
present 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 1999 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
2. SEGMENT REPORTING
Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate
financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the
chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and
in assessing performance. IPL's reportable business segments are
electric and "all other." Steam operations of IPL are in the "all other"
category. The accounting policies of the identified segments are
consistent with those policies and procedures described in the summary
of significant accounting policies (see Note 1 in IPL's 1999 Annual
Report on Form 10-K). The following tables provide information about
IPL's business segments:

</TABLE>
Property - net of Depreciation is $1.724 billion and $1.750 billion in
total for the periods ending June, 2000 and December, 1999,
respectively. Within Property - net of Depreciation, the Electric
segment is $1.668 billion and $1.674 billion for 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The All Other segment is $56 million and $76 million for
2000 and 1999, respectively.
3. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133),
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," was
issued in June 1998 and was to be effective for all fiscal quarters of
all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The effective date for
this standard was delayed one year by SFAS 137. The standard is now
effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2000. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards
for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It requires that
an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in
the statement of financial condition and measures those instruments at
fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be
specifically designated as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, or a
hedge of a foreign currency exposure. The accounting for changes in the
fair value of a derivative (that is, gains and losses) depends on the
intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. In June
2000, SFAS 138 was issued to amend the accounting and reporting
standards of Statement 133 for certain derivative instruments and
certain hedging activities. Management has not yet quantified the effect
of the new standards on the financial statements.
4. SALE OF STEAM ASSETS
During March, 2000, IPL announced an agreement for the sale of certain
assets (the "Assets") to Citizens Gas & Coke Utility. The Assets include
the Perry K Steam Plant and downtown steam distribution system (Steam)
operated by IPL. The anticipated selling price of the Assets is
approximately $54.6 million. The 1999 EBITDA (earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization) and net income of the steam system
was $8.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The sale is subject to
certain government approvals and the satisfaction of certain conditions
precedent in the agreement and is expected to be completed during 2000.
In the second quarter of 2000, based upon the allocated selling price,
IPL recorded an impairment provision on the carrying amounts of the steam
system assets. The pre tax asset impairment provision was $19.0 million
($13.5 million after tax).
5. AES ACQUISITION OF IPALCO
On July 15, 2000, IPALCO and The AES Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("AES"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (the
"Share Exchange Agreement") whereby AES will acquire IPALCO for $25.00
per share in a stock-for-stock transaction valued at approximately $2.15
billion plus the assumption of $890 million of debt and preferred stock.
Under the terms of the agreement, the final exchange ratio will be
determined five business days prior to closing, based on the average
daily closing prices of AES common stock for the preceding twenty
trading days. Upon closing, each share of IPALCO common stock will be
exchanged for AES shares with a market value of $25.00, so long as the
average price of AES common stock (determined as described above) is not
below $31.50. If the average price of AES common stock is below $31.50
per share, IPALCO shareholders will receive a fixed ratio of .794 shares
of AES common stock per share of IPALCO common stock. If the average
price of AES common stock is below $26.45 (an effective price to IPALCO
shareholders of $21.00 per share of IPALCO common stock), IPALCO has the
right to terminate the transaction. The transaction is expected to be
tax free to IPALCO shareholders. Upon closing, IPALCO will become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of AES with its headquarters remaining in
Indianapolis. IPL will remain a subsidiary of IPALCO.
The transaction is subject to certain conditions, including receipt of
the approval of IPALCO shareholders and receipt of regulatory approvals,
including that of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The parties anticipate receiving
regulatory approvals and closing the transaction by early 2001.
Additionally, as part of the SEC approval process, AES expects to
restructure its ownership interests in CILCORP, another subsidiary of
AES, within a specified period of time in order to continue as an exempt
holding company under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935. If
the closing of the transaction is delayed beyond March 31, 2001 for
failure to receive necessary SEC approvals, the purchase price per
IPALCO share, determined as outlined above, will be increased by $0.15
plus a daily "ticking fee" equal to $0.375 per calendar quarter.
<PAGE>
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
IPL hereby files cautionary statements identifying important factors that
could cause IPL's actual results to differ materially from those projected in
forward-looking statements of IPL. This Form 10-Q, and particularly Management's
Discussion and Analysis, contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements express an expectation or belief and contain a projection, plan or
assumption with regard to, among other things, future revenues, income, earnings
per share or capital structure. Such statements of future events or performance
are not guarantees of future performance and involve estimates, assumptions and
uncertainties. The words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect,"
"forecast," "project," "objective," and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements.
Some important factors that could cause IPL's actual results or outcomes
to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements
include, but are not limited to, the pending transaction with AES, including the
conditions thereto, fluctuations in customer growth and demand, weather, fuel
costs, generating unit availability, purchased power costs and availability,
regulatory action, environmental matters, federal and state legislation,
interest rates, labor strikes, maintenance and capital expenditures and local
economic conditions. In addition, IPL's ability to have available an appropriate
amount of production capacity in a timely manner can significantly affect IPL's
financial performance. The timing of deregulation and competition, product
development and technology changes are also important potential factors.
All such factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that
may materially affect actual results and are beyond the control of IPL.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
--------
The Board of Directors of Indianapolis Power & Light Company (IPL)
declared dividends on common stock of $29.9 million during the second quarter of
2000. Dividends are 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, for
environmental compliance and for the implementation of an integrated information
system. Construction expenditures (excluding allowance for funds used during
construction) totaled $24.9 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2000,
representing a $6.5 million increase from the comparable period in 1999.
Internally generated cash provided by IPL's operations funded construction
expenditures during the second quarter of 2000. Construction expenditures
(excluding allowance for funds used during construction) totaled $45.1 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2000, representing an $11.4 million
increase from the comparable period in 1999. Internally generated cash provided
by IPL's operations funded construction expenditures during the first six months
of 2000.
IPL's construction program for the three-year period 2000-2002 is
estimated to cost $294.0 million including AFUDC. The estimated cost of the
program by year (in millions) is $106.5 in 2000, $103.9 in 2001 and $83.6 in
2002. It includes $152.2 million for additions, improvements and extensions to
transmission and distribution lines, substations, power factor and voltage
regulating equipment, distribution transformers and street lighting facilities.
The construction program also includes $6.6 million in 2000 for construction of
a 100-megawatt combustion turbine. The turbine was placed in service during May
2000, and only $.3 million of related construction costs remain unexpended as of
June 30, 2000. These projected amounts also include $20.7 million of costs
during the period associated with new environmental standards promulgated by the
EPA which are currently expected to be appealed to the United States Supreme
Court. (See also "NOx SIP Call" below.)
OTHER
Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Positions
-----------------------------------------------
The primary market risk to which IPL is exposed is interest rate risk.
IPL uses long-term debt as a primary source of capital in its business. A
portion of this debt has an interest component that resets on a periodic basis
to reflect current market conditions. The following table presents the principal
cash repayments and related weighted average interest rates by maturity date for
IPL's long-term fixed-rate debt and its other types of long-term debt at June
30, 2000:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Maturity Schedule
Period Ending June 30
Fair
(Dollars in Millions) 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 Thereafter Total Value
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long-term debt
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C>
Fixed rate - - - $80.0 - $375.3 $455.3 $441.1

Variable - - - - - $173.5 $173.5 $173.5
Average rate - - - - - 4.1% 4.1%
</TABLE>
To manage IPL's exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and to lower
funding costs, IPL has entered into an interest rate swap. Under this swap, IPL
agrees with a counterparty to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference
between fixed-rate and floating-rate interest amounts calculated on an agreed
notional amount. This interest differential paid or received is recognized in
the consolidated statements of income as a component of interest expense.
At June 30, 2000, IPL had an interest rate swap agreement with a notional
amount of $40 million, which expires in January 2023. IPL agrees to pay interest
at a fixed rate of 5.21% to a swap counter party and receive a variable rate
based on the tax-exempt weekly rate. The fair value of IPL's swap agreement was
$.1 million at June 30, 2000.
National Ambient Air Quality Standards
--------------------------------------
On July 16, 1997, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
promulgated final rules tightening the National Ambient Air Quality Standards
for ozone and creating new fine particulate matter standards. On October 29,
1999, after conducting a rehearing of its initial decision of May 14, 1999, the
United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit determined
that the new ozone standards were not issued lawfully, but left open the
question of future remedy. The Court also determined that the standards for fine
particulate matter were legally deficient in certain respects. The Supreme Court
has accepted EPA's petition to review the Court of Appeals' decision, and a
decision is expected by summer 2001.
NOx SIP Call
------------
On October 27, 1998, EPA issued a final rule calling for Indiana, along
with 22 other jurisdictions in the eastern third of the United States, to impose
more stringent limits on nitrogen oxides (NOx) from fossil-fuel fired steam
electric generators, such as those operated by IPL. This rule (the NOx SIP Call)
was based in part on the new ozone standards that were later held unlawful in
the Court of Appeals' decision discussed above. In a separate decision on May
25, 1999, the Court of Appeals stayed the compliance deadlines in the NOx SIP
Call. The Court of Appeals later issued a decision largely upholding the NOx SIP
Call. Litigants challenging the NOx SIP Call, including IPL, are considering
seeking review in the United States Supreme Court.
Because power plants emit nitrogen oxides, as well as fine particulate
matter, existing IPL sources may be required to be retrofitted with additional
air pollution controls in the future, either as a result of the EPA regulations
discussed above or future regulatory actions.
EPA's NOx SIP Call would require operators of coal-fired electric utility
boilers in the affected states to limit NOx emissions to 0.15 pounds per million
BTUs of heat input as a system-wide average. That limit calls for a reduction of
about 85% from 1990 average emissions from coal-fired electric utility boilers,
and a reduction of about 57% from IPL's current emissions.
It is not possible to predict whether EPA's NOx SIP Call will ultimately
survive judicial review. Nor is it possible at this time to predict accurately
the costs of compliance. IPL's preliminary estimates are that the NOx SIP Call
would necessitate capital expenditures of about $160 million. Only $20.7 million
of such amount has been included in IPL's 2000-2002 construction program;
consequently, such program could change substantially.
As to timing, if the requirements of the NOx SIP Call became effective,
they would likely do so during the 2000-2001 period and would probably
necessitate deployment of capital during the period between 2000 and 2003. There
can be no certainty about these estimates.
IPL expects to refine the above estimates as engineering studies progress
and when, as, and if such rules become effective.

The second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000 increase in
retail KWH sales compared to the similar periods in 1999 resulted from economic
growth in Indianapolis impacted by changed weather conditions. The second
quarter of 2000 experienced milder temperatures compared to last year. As a
result, cooling degree days decreased 16.3%. The changes in fuel revenues in
2000 from the prior year reflect changes in total fuel costs billed to
customers. Wholesale revenue decreased during the second quarter of 2000 due to
reduced generating unit availability related to a planned overhaul outage of
IPL's Stout unit 7. Steam revenue decreased during the six months ended 2000
primarily due to a decrease in heating degree days.
Operating Expenses
------------------
Fuel costs increased by $1.5 million and $3.2 million in the second
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to the
similar periods last year. These increases were primarily due to increased
kilowatt-hour sales.
Other operating expenses increased $1.8 million and $6.9 million in the
second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to the
similar periods in 1999. The second quarter increase was primarily due to
decreased sales of emission allowances of $1.7 million, which was recorded as a
credit to operating expenses in 1999, and rental costs of $1.1 million for
portable diesel generators used to supplement generation during the summer
months. Also contributing to the variance for the second quarter were increased
transmission and distribution expenses of $.7 million, increased customer
accounts expense of $.4 million, and increased customer service and information
expense of $.2 million, offset by decreased administrative and general expense
of $2.6 million. The six months ended increase was primarily due to decreased
sales of emission allowances of $4.7 million, which was recorded as a credit to
operating expenses in 1999, and rental costs of $1.1 million for portable diesel
generators used to supplement generation during the summer months. Also
contributing to the six months ended variance were increased transmission and
distribution expenses of $1.6 million, increased customer service and
information expense of $1.1 million, increased other miscellaneous operating
expenses of $.9 million, increased customer accounts expense of $.8 million,
offset by decreased administrative and general expense of $3.9 million.
Power purchased decreased $.8 million and $1.0 million during the
second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to the
similar periods last year. These decreases were primarily due to the milder
temperatures in the second quarter 2000 versus 1999 resulting a reduced need to
purchase power.
Maintenance expense increased $10.1 million and $4.3 million during the
second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to the
similar periods last year. The increase in expense was due primarily to costs
associated with the timing of planned generating unit overhauls and outages.
Income taxes-net decreased $4.7 million and $1.5 million in the second
quarter and six months ended periods, respectively, due to decreases in pretax
operating income.
Other Income and Deductions
---------------------------
Other - net decreased $19.7 million and $20.8 million during the second
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, primarily due to an
asset impairment loss recognized in conjunction with the sale of steam assets
(see Note 4 in the Notes to Financial Statements).
New Accounting Pronouncement
----------------------------
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities," that IPL will be required to adopt in 2001 (see Note 3
in the Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion).
