    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

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.

5.  LINES OF CREDIT

    On March 10, 1995, Mid-America extended its line of credit with Union
    Bank of Switzerland to $30 million, of which $19 million was unused at
    June 30, 1995.

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 May 30, 1995, declared a
quarterly dividend on common stock of 54 cents per share.  The dividend was
paid July 15, 1995, to shareholders of record June 23, 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 
$53.9 million during the second quarter ended June 30, 1995, representing a 
$12.9 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 
primarily used for construction expenditures during the second quarter of 
1995.  Construction expenditures (excluding allowance for funds used during 
construction) totaled $110.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 
1995, representing a $40.6 million increase from the comparable period in 1994 
due primarily to the construction of IPL's Petersburg Generating Station 
scrubbers and chilled water systems at two of the unregulated subsidiaries 
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 IPALCO'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 IPALCO'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
<PAGE>8 
two new scrubbers at the Petersburg Generating Station are in service.  

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

     Earnings per share during the second quarter of 1995 were $.47 or $.04
above the $.43 attained in the comparable 1994 period.  The following
discussion highlights the factors contributing to the second quarter
results.

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:

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

     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.

     Other - net, which includes the pretax operations other than IPL,
increased $1.4 million primarily due to increased revenues and decreased
operating costs of other subsidiaries.

     Income taxes - net, which includes taxes on operations other than IPL,
increased $.9 million primarily due to the increase in nonutility operating
income.

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

     Interest expense increased $.7 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.
<PAGE>10
     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
     --------------------------------------------------------------           

     Earnings per share during the first six months of 1995 were $1.16 or
$.07 below the $1.23 attained during the first six months of 1994.  The
following discussion highlights the factors contributing to the
year-to-date results.

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
table is a summary of KWH sales to each customer class:

     Fuel costs decreased $2.5 million due to a decrease in prices of $4.1
million as well as a decrease in fuel consumption of $1.4 million,
partially offset by an increase in deferred fuel costs of $3.0 million.
Other operating expenses increased $2.6 million primarily due to increased
administrative and general expenses of $1.6 million, increased electric
distribution expenses of $.6 million, increased expenses at the Petersburg
Generating Station of $.3 million, increased customer accounts expense of
$.3 million and increased miscellaneous expense of $.2 million, partially
offset by decreased customer assistance expenses of $.4 million.  Power
purchased decreased $.9 million due to decreased energy purchases.
Purchased steam decreased $.6 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 $4.9 million, reflecting decreased
expenditures for unit overhaul costs at the Petersburg Generating Station
of $4.1 million, decreased electric distribution expenditures for overhead
and underground lines of $1.7 million and decreased expenditures for
general maintenance at the Perry K Generating Station of $.5 million.
These expenses were partially offset by increased expenditures for unit
overhaul costs at the Pritchard Generating Station of $1.0 million during
<PAGE>11
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.

     As a result of the foregoing, utility operating income decreased 2.9%
from last year, to $68.9 million.

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

     Allowance for equity funds used during construction increased $.7
million due to an increased construction base.

     Income taxes - net, which includes taxes on operations other than IPL,
increased $.9 million primarily due to the increase in nonutility operating
income.

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

     Interest expense increased $1.4 million primarily due to the issuance
of $200 million long-term debt in 1994.  The increase in interest expense
for year-to-date 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 $.5
million due to an increased construction base.

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.
