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

1.  IPALCO Enterprises, Inc. (IPALCO) owns all of the outstanding common
    stock of its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as Enterprises).
    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IPALCO,
    its utility subsidiary, Indianapolis Power & Light Company (IPL) and
    its unregulated subsidiary, Mid-America Capital Resources, Inc. (Mid-
    America).  Mid-America is the parent company of nonutility energy-
    related businesses.

    In the opinion of management these statements reflect all
    adjustments, with the exception of the September, 1993 costs of the
    withdrawn tender offer, consisting of only normal recurring accruals,
    including elimination of all significant intercompany balances and
    transactions, 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 Enterprises' 1993 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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

     Material changes in the consolidated financial condition and results
of operations of IPALCO Enterprises, Inc. (Enterprises), except where
noted, are attributed to the operations of Indianapolis Power & Light
Company (IPL).  Consequently, the following discussion is centered on
IPL.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview
- --------

     The Board of Directors of Enterprises on August 30, 1994, declared a
quarterly dividend on common stock of 53 cents per share.  The dividend
was paid October 15, 1994, to shareholders of record September 23, 1994.

     Internally generated cash provided by IPL's operations and the
issuance of long-term debt were used primarily for utility construction
expenditures and the repayment of short-term and long-term debt during
the first nine months of 1994.

     On February 3, 1994, IPL issued First Mortgage Bonds, 6.05% Series,
due 2004, in the principal amount of $80 million.  The net proceeds 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 2003, at a redemption
price of 102.11%.  Accrued interest was also paid 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 the remaining amount will be used to finance future
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.

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

     IPL has asked the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) to
approve increases in its electric rates.  IPL is requesting approval of
an overall rate increase of about 13.9 percent to generate additional
annual revenues of $87.7 million.  Under IPL's proposal, the percent of
increase will vary for different customer classes.  The IURC has
scheduled hearings on IPL's request to begin in February of 1995.  IPL
last received an order from the IURC authorizing an increase in electric
basic rates and charges in August, 1986.  

Construction Program
- --------------------

     IPALCO announced on September 28 that IPL will further delay the
construction of a new, base-load power plant in Switzerland County in
Southern Indiana to a date beyond the Company's current five-year
construction program.  Due to this action, IPL will be reducing the cost
of the construction program for the five years, 1994-1998, by $217.2 million
for the base-load units and by $29.0 million for projects related to the
base-load units.

                                     -7-

Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Association (VEBA) Trust Agreement
- -------------------------------------------------------------------

     On September 27, the Board of Directors adopted a VEBA for the funding
of post-retirement 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 the Corporation's financial statements.  The VEBA
Trust Agreement provides for full funding of the Corporation's
accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation in the event of certain
change of control transactions.

Mid-America Energy Resources, Inc. (MAER)
- -----------------------------------------

     On November 1, 1994, MAER announced that its Indianapolis, Indiana
district cooling system with a cooling capacity of 20,000 tons was now
fully subscribed.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    Comparison of Quarters Ended September 30, 1994 and September 30, 1993
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

     Earnings per share during the third quarter of 1994 were $.77 or
$.48 above the $.29 attained in the comparable 1993 period.  The
principal reason for the increase was the one-time, non-recurring charge
of $21.1 million (after taxes) or $.56 per share, associated with the
costs incurred by Enterprises in its attempt to acquire PSI Resources,
Inc. (PSI), recorded in September, 1993.  The following discussion
highlights the factors contributing to the third quarter results.

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

     The increase in electric operating revenues of $.1 million this
quarter compared to the same period one year ago is due to the following:
Fuel cost adjustment recoveries increased $3.3 million, and sales for
resale also increased $.1 million, due to increased energy sales to
neighboring utilities.  These increases were offset by decreased retail
electric kilowatthour (KWH) sales of $2.9 million due to milder weather
during the third quarter of 1994 compared to the same period one year
ago, and decreased miscellaneous revenues of $.4 million.  The following
table is a summary of KWH sales to each customer class:

                                    -8-

     Fuel costs increased $2.2 million due to increased deferred fuel
costs of $3.1 million and increased  prices of $.4 million; offset by a
decrease in fuel consumption of $1.3 million.  Other operating expenses
increased $1.9 million primarily due to increased administrative and
general expenses of $.8 million, increased electric distribution expenses
of $.6 million, and increased other production expenses of $.5 million.
Power purchased decreased $1.0 million primarily due to decreased firm
peaking-energy payments and decreased non-displacement purchases for
1994.

     Maintenance expenses decreased $2.1 million, reflecting decreased
expenditures for unit overhaul costs at the Petersburg plant of $2.0
million and decreased expenditures for general maintenance at the Perry K
plant of $.4 million.  These expenses were partially offset by increased
expenditures at the Stout plant of $.3 million for general maintenance.

     Depreciation expense increased $4.4 million primarily due to an
adjustment to property held for future use and as a result of an increase
in the utility plant balance.

     Income taxes - net decreased $4.1 million primarily due to the
decrease in pretax utility operating income, and a reduction in deferred
income taxes, as well as an adjustment for additional tax recorded in the
third quarter of 1993 to reflect the change in the corporate income tax
rate from 34% to 35%.

     As a result of the foregoing, utility operating income decreased
3.8% over last year, to $42.8 million.

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

     Allowance for equity funds used during construction increased $.6
million due to an increased construction base.

     Costs of withdrawn tender offer and related income taxes decreased 
due to a one-time, non-recurring charge associated with costs incurred by 
Enterprises in its attempt to acquire PSI, recorded in September, 1993.

Interest and Other Charges
- --------------------------

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


  Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 1994 and September 30, 1993
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Earnings per share during the first nine months of 1994 were $2.00
or $.48 above the $1.52 attained during the first nine months of 1993,
reflecting the one-time, non-recurring charge for costs associated with
the tender offer to shareholders of PSI, recorded in September, 1993.
The following discussion highlights the factors contributing to the year-
to-date results.

                                  -9-

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

     The increase in electric operating revenues of $18.5 million was the
result of a combination of colder weather during the first quarter of
1994 and warmer weather during the second quarter of 1994 compared to the
same period one year ago.  Contributing to the higher revenues was an
increase in retail electric KWH sales of $10.8 million, and higher fuel
cost adjustment recoveries of $5.4 million.  Sales for resale also
increased $2.7 million, due to increased energy sales to neighboring
utilities.  Miscellaneous revenues decreased $.4 million.  The following
table is a summary of KWH sales to each customer class:

                           =======    =======

     Fuel costs increased $11.1 million due to increased deferred fuel
costs of $4.6 million and increased fuel consumption of $3.4 million as
well as increased prices of $3.1 million.  Other operating expenses
increased $4.7 million primarily due to increased administrative and
general expenses of $2.4 million of which $1.8 million is due to
increased employee benefit costs and salaries and $.6 million is due to
increased outside services and property insurance costs, increased
electric and steam distribution expenses of $1.1 million, increased
miscellaneous steam power station expenses and operation supervision
expenses at Petersburg plant of  $.9 million, and increased miscellaneous
operating expenses at Stout plant of $.3 million.  Purchased steam
decreased $.3 million due to a decrease in prices for purchases from an
independent resource recovery system located within the city of
Indianapolis.

     Depreciation expense increased $6.5 million primarily due to an
adjustment to property held for future use and as a result of an increase
in the utility plant balance.

     Income taxes - net decreased $3.8 million primarily due to an
increase in interest expenses and a decrease in deferred taxes.

     As a result of the foregoing, utility operating income increased
1.7% over last year, to $113.8 million.

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

     Allowance for equity funds used during construction increased $1.3
million due to an increased construction base.

     Costs of withdrawn tender offer and related income taxes decreased 
due to a one-time, non-recurring charge associated with costs incurred by 
Enterprises in its attempt to acquire PSI, recorded in September, 1993.

     Other - net, which includes the pre-tax operations other than IPL,
decreased $3.9 million, primarily due to  decreased investment income
from financial investments, decreased operating income of Mid-America
Capital Resources, and costs of district cooling operations in Cleveland,
Ohio, which did not begin operations until April, 1993.

                                  -10-



Interest and Other Charges
- --------------------------

     Interest expense increased $2.6 million primarily due to the
issuance of $180 million long-term debt on February 3, 1994.  The
increase in interest expense for year-to-date 1994 was partially offset
by decreased expense as a result of refinancing certain first mortgage
bonds during 1994 and 1993 with more favorable terms.

     Allowance for borrowed funds used during construction increased $.9
million due to an increased construction base.
