                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)

1.  Basis of Presentation

         The consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of The AES
Corporation,  its  subsidiaries  and  controlled  affiliates  (the  "Company" or
"AES"). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Investments
in 50% or less  owned  affiliates  over  which the  Company  has the  ability to
exercise  significant  influence,  but not control,  are accounted for using the
equity method.

         In  the  Company's  opinion,  all  adjustments  necessary  for  a  fair
presentation  of the unaudited  financial  statements for the periods ended June
30, 1998 and 1999, respectively, are included. All such adjustments are accruals
of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for the period ended
June 30, 1999 are not necessarily  indicative of the results of operations to be
expected for the full year. The financial statements are unaudited and should be
read in conjunction with the Company's  consolidated  financial statements which
are  incorporated  by reference in the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1998.

2.  Foreign Currency Translation

          During  early 1999,  the  Brazilian  Real  experienced  a  significant
devaluation relative to the U.S. Dollar, declining from 1.21 Reais to the Dollar
at  December  31,  1998 to an  average  of 1.71  Reais to the Dollar for the six
months ended June 30, 1999.  This  devaluation  resulted in significant  foreign
currency  translation and transaction  losses for the Company for both the three
months and the six months ended June 30, 1999. Non-cash charges of approximately
$17 million and $146 million before income taxes were recorded  during the three
months  and the six months  ended  June 30,  1999,  respectively.  The  non-cash
charges were approximately $13 million and $100 million after considering income
taxes at the  effective  tax rate of 32%  during  the three  months  and the six
months  ended June 30,  1999,  respectively.  Excluding  the  effects of foreign
currency  transaction losses, the Company incurred net income of $84 million and
diluted  earnings  per share of $0.43 for the three  months ended June 30, 1999,
and net income of $158  million and diluted  earnings per share of $0.82 for the
six months ended June 30, 1999.

3.  Earnings Per Share

         Basic and  diluted  earnings  per share  computations  are based on the
weighted  average  number of shares of common stock and  potential  common stock
outstanding  during the period,  after giving effect to stock splits.  Potential
common stock, for purposes of determining  diluted earnings per share,  includes
the  dilutive  effects  of  stock  options,   warrants,   deferred  compensation
arrangements  and convertible  securities.  The effect of such potential  common
stock is computed using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, in
accordance  with  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 128,
Earnings Per Share.  See Exhibit 11 for the  computation of the number of shares
outstanding  for basic  earnings  per share and  diluted  earnings  per share in
accordance with SFAS 128.

4. Investments in and Advances to Affiliates

         The Company is a party to joint  venture/consortium  agreements through
which the Company has equity  investments in several  operating  companies.  The
joint  venture/consortium  parties  generally share  operational  control of the
investee.  The agreements  prescribe ownership and voting percentages


                                      -5-
<PAGE>


as well as other  matters.  The Company  records its share of earnings  from its
equity  investees on a pre-tax  basis.  The  Company's  share of the  investee's
income taxes is recorded in income tax expense.

         The following  table  presents  summarized  financial  information  (in
millions)  for equity  method  affiliates  on a  combined  100%  basis.  Amounts
presented include condensed income statement  information of Northern/AES Energy
(45% owned U.S.  affiliate),  NIGEN Ltd. (47% owned UK Affiliate),  Medway Power
Ltd. (25% owned UK affiliate),  Elsta (50% owned Netherlands  affiliate),  Light
(14% and 18%, in 1998 and 1999, respectively,  owned Brazilian affiliate), CEMIG
(9.45% owned Brazilian affiliate), affiliates of Chigen, and Kingston (50% owned
Canadian affiliate) for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999. In addition
to the  affiliates  owned as of June 30, 1998,  the Company  purchased OPGC (49%
owned Indian  affiliate)  in late  December  1998 which is included in the table
below for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

5.  Litigation

         The U.S.  Environmental  Protection  Agency  ("EPA") has  commenced  an
industry-wide investigation of coal-fired electric power generators to determine
compliance with  environmental  requirements  under the Clean Air Act associated
with repairs,  maintenance,  modifications  and operational  changes made to the
facilities  over the years.  The EPA's  focus is on  whether  the  changes  were
subject to new source  review or new  performance  standards,  and whether  best
available  control  technology was or should have been used. AES's Beaver Valley
plant  received a request for  information  pursuant to Section 114 of the Clean
Air Act,  and has  been  visited  by EPA  personnel.  The  Beaver  Valley  plant
cooperated with the request and provided the requested information. On August 4,
1999,  the EPA issued a notice of  violation  ("NOV")  to the  plant,  generally
alleging that the facility failed to obtain the necessary  permits in connection
with certain changes made to the facility in the mid-to-late  1980s.  The Beaver
Valley  facility  disagrees with the EPA's findings and may meet with the EPA to
attempt to resolve the issues  identified  in the NOV. If a mutually  acceptable
resolution  is not  reached,  the EPA may  seek to  enforce  the NOV  through  a
judicial process and seek monetary  penalties and/or injunctive relief under the
Clean  Air Act.  The  Company  believes  that the  Beaver  Valley  facility  has
meritorious  defenses to such an action and expects the  facility to  vigorously
defend itself if any action is brought  against it. The Company does not believe
that the ultimate  resolution of this issue will have a material  adverse effect
on its financial position or results of operations.

         The Company is also involved in certain legal proceedings in the normal
course of  business.  It is the opinion of the Company  that none of the pending
litigation  is  expected  to have a material  adverse  effect on its  results of
operations or financial position.

6.  Acquisitions

         In May 1999, a subsidiary of the Company  acquired two gas-fired  power
plants  totaling  966  MW  from  the  government  of  Victoria,   Australia  for
approximately $100 million.


                                      -6-
<PAGE>


         In January  1999,  a  subsidiary  of the Company  acquired  49% of both
Empresa de Generacion  Chiriqui  S.A.  (EGE  Chiriqui) and Empresa de Generacion
Bayano (EGE  Bayano),  two  hydroelectric  generation  companies in Panama,  for
approximately  $91 million.  AES controls the operations of both  entities,  and
therefore, consolidates them.

         In December  1998, a subsidiary of the Company  acquired a 75% interest
in Telasi, the electricity distribution company of Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia,
for approximately $26 million.

         In June 1998, a subsidiary of AES acquired approximately 90% of Empresa
Distribuidora de La Plata S.A. ("EDELAP"),  an electric  distribution company in
the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina for approximately $355 million.

         In May 1998,  a  subsidiary  of the Company  completed  the purchase of
three  natural  gas-fired  electric  generating  stations  located  in  Southern
California for approximately $786 million.

         In February 1998, the Company acquired approximately 80% of Compania de
Luz Electrica de Santa Ana ("CLESA"), an electricity  distribution company in El
Salvador,  for approximately $96 million.

         The  preceding  acquisitions  were  accounted  for as purchases and the
accompanying  statements of operations  include the operating results for all of
the acquired  companies  from the dates of their  respective  acquisitions.  The
following table presents supplemental  unaudited pro forma operating information
as if each of the  acquisitions  had  occurred at the  beginning  of the periods
presented (in millions, except per share amounts):

                                                    Six Months        Six Months
                                                      Ended              Ended
                                                     6/30/98            6/30/99
                                                     -------            -------

        Revenues                                      $1,247            $1,286
        Net Income                                       138                58
        Basic Earnings Per Share                        0.77              0.31
        Diluted Earnings Per Share                      0.75              0.31

         The pro forma results are based upon  assumptions  and estimates  which
the Company believes are reasonable.  The pro forma results do not purport to be
indicative  of the  results  that  actually  would  have been  obtained  had the
acquisitions  occurred at the beginning of the periods  presented,  nor are they
intended to be a projection of future results. Net income and earnings per share
for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1999  include  a  non-cash  charge of $100
million, net of tax, from foreign currency transaction losses.

         In  May  1999,  a  subsidiary  of the  Company  acquired  six  electric
generating  stations for a purchase price of approximately  $953 million.  These
coal-fired electric generating stations have a total installed capacity of 1,424
MW.  Concurrently,  the subsidiary  sold two of the plants to an unrelated third
party for approximately $670 million and  simultaneously  entered into a leasing
arrangement with the unrelated  party. The former  transaction was accounted for
as a purchase of assets while the latter was accounted for as a  sale-leaseback,
with operating lease treatment.

         In June 1999, a subsidiary of the Company assumed long-term  managerial
and voting control of two regional  electric  distribution  companies  (RECs) in
Kazakhstan as part of a settlement of receivables outstanding from the


                                      -7-
<PAGE>

government of Kazakhstan.  The contractual  rights received in this  transaction
were valued at approximately $26 million. The two distribution  businesses serve
approximately 1.8 million people.

         The purchase price allocations for recently completed acquisitions have
been  prepared on a  preliminary  basis subject to  adjustments  resulting  from
additional facts that may come to light when the engineering,  environmental and
legal analysis are completed during their respective allocation periods.

7. Comprehensive Income (Loss)

         Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income and foreign currency
translation  adjustments.  It includes  $55 million and $110  million of foreign

9.  Subsequent Events

         In July 1999,  the  Company  acquired  New Energy  Ventures,  an energy
services provider formed to serve retail customers in the U.S. where competitive
energy markets are emerging.  The  acquisition was valued at  approximately  $90
million, and financed through a combination of cash, debt and AES common stock.

ITEM  2.  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL   CONDITION  AND  RESULTS  OF
          OPERATIONS.

INTRODUCTION

         The AES  Corporation  (AES or the  Company) is a global  power  company
committed to serving the world's needs for electricity in a socially responsible
way.

         The majority of the Company's  revenues  represent sales of electricity
to customers  (generally  electric utilities or regional electric companies) for
further resale to end users. This is referred to as the electricity "generation"
business.  AES's generation  business  represented 62% of total revenues for the


                                      -9-
<PAGE>


six months ended June 30, 1999.  Sales by these  generation  companies  are made
under long-term contracts from power plants owned by the Company's  subsidiaries
and  affiliates,  as  well as  through  direct  sales  into  regional  wholesale
electricity  markets  without a contract.  The  Company  owns plants that it has
constructed ("greenfield" plants) as well as those that it has purchased.

         Because of the  significant  complexities  associated with building new
electric  generating plants,  construction  periods often range from two to five
years.  AES currently  expects that projects now under  construction  will reach
commercial  operation and begin to sell electricity at various dates through the
year  2002.  The  completion  of each  plant in a  timely  manner  is  generally
supported by a guarantee from the plant's construction  contractor,  although in
certain cases, AES has assumed the risk of satisfactory construction completion.
Due  to  changes  in  the  economic,  political,  technological,  regulatory  or
logistical  circumstances  involving each individual plant, however,  commercial
operations may be delayed.

         AES also sells  electricity  directly to end users such as  commercial,
industrial,  governmental and residential customers.  This is referred to as the
electricity  "distribution"  business.  Electricity sales by AES's  distribution
businesses   are  generally   made  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  long-term
electricity sale  concessions  granted by governments.  In certain cases,  these
distribution  companies are  "integrated",  in that they also own electric power
plants for the purpose of  generating  a portion of the  electricity  they sell.
Each distribution company also purchases  electricity from third party wholesale
suppliers, which may include other subsidiaries of the Company.

         AES  continues  to believe  that there is  significant  demand for more
efficiently operated electricity  generation and distribution  businesses.  As a
result, and guided by its commitment to serve the world's needs for electricity,
AES is pursuing additional  greenfield  development projects and acquisitions in
many countries.  Several of these, if consummated,  would require the Company to
obtain  substantial  additional  financing,   including  both  debt  and  equity
financing.

         AES  is  also   currently   in  the  process  of   completing   several
acquisitions,  including  its  agreement  to acquire the  outstanding  shares of
Cilcorp, Inc. an integrated distribution company in Illinois.

         Certain  subsidiaries  and  affiliates  of the  Company  (domestic  and
non-U.S.) have signed long-term  contracts or made similar  arrangements for the
sale  of  electricity  and are in  various  stages  of  developing  the  related
greenfield   power  plants.   Substantial   risks  accompany  their   successful
completion, including, but not limited to, those relating to failures of siting,
financing,  construction,  permitting,  governmental approvals or termination of
the power sales contract as a result of a failure to meet certain milestones. As
of June 30, 1999,  capitalized costs for projects under development and in early
stage of construction were approximately $93 million.  The Company believes that
these costs are recoverable;  however, no assurance can be given that changes in
circumstances related to individual projects will not occur or that any of these
projects will be completed and reach commercial operation.

         In May 1999, a subsidiary of the Company, AES Barry Limited,  completed
a $195  million  non-recourse  project  refinancing  for  its  230 MW  gas-fired
combined cycle power plant in Barry,  South Wales,  United Kingdom.  Also in May
1999, a subsidiary of the Company,  AES Fifoots  Point Ltd.,  completed the $202
million  financing  for the planned  refurbishment,  upgrade  and  environmental
improvement of a 393 MW coal-fired plant in South Wales, United Kingdom.

         In June  1999,  a  subsidiary  of the  Company,  AES  Ironwood  L.L.C.,
completed a $308.5 million non-recourse bond financing for the construction of a
705 MW natural  gas-fired  combined  cycle plant to be located in South  Lebanon
Township,   Pennsylvania.   Completion  of  construction   and  commencement  of
operations  is  expected  in the second  quarter of 2001.  All of the  capacity,
associated  energy and  ancillary  services  from the plant will be sold under a
20-year tolling  agreement with Williams Energy Marketing & Trading  Company,  a
subsidiary of The Williams Company.

         Also in June 1999,  a  subsidiary  of the  Company,  AES  Parana  S.A.,
completed  a $448  million  financing  for the  construciton  of a 826 MW  (net)
natural gas-fired combined cycle power plant in San Nicolas,  Province of Buenos
Aires, Argentina.  The project company is owned by wholly-owned  subsidiaries of
The AES Corporation  (66.67%) and PSEG Global Inc. (33.33%).  The facility is to
be sited  adjacent to the 650 MW San Nicolas power  facility on the Parana River
west of Buenos Aires, which is owned by AES and PSEG Global.

         It may not always be possible to arrange project financing for specific
potential   acquisitions.   Moreover,   acquisitions  or  the   commencement  of
construction  on several  greenfield  developments  could require the Company to
obtain substantial additional financing including both debt and equity. In order
to enhance  its  financial  capabilities  to  respond to these more  accelerated
opportunities, the Company maintains a $600 million revolving line and letter of
credit  facility (the  "Revolver").  The Company also currently has a "universal
shelf" registration statement with the SEC, which allows for the public issuance
of various  additional  debt and preferred or common equity  securities,  either
individually or in


                                      -10-
<PAGE>

combination, and which currently represents approximately $2.5 billion in unused
potential  proceeds  from  the  issuance  of  public  securities.

         The Company wishes to caution readers that there are important  factors
and areas  affecting  the Company  which  involve  risk and  uncertainty.  These
factors are set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
Commission  for the year ended  December 31, 1998 under the heading  "Cautionary
Statement  and Risk  Factors",  and  should be  considered  when  reviewing  the
Company's  business.  Such  factors  are  relied  upon  by  AES in  issuing  any
forward-looking  statements and could affect AES's actual results and cause such
results  to  differ  materially  from  those  expressed  in any  forward-looking
statements made by, or on behalf of, AES. Some or all of these factors may apply
to the Company's business as currently maintained or to be maintained.

SECOND QUARTER 1999 AND 1998 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Revenues  increased 13%, or approximately $75 million,  to $640 million
from  the  second  quarter  of 1998 to the  second  quarter  of  1999.  Revenues
increased  12%, or  approximately  $138  million,  to $1.3  billion from the six
months  ended June 30,  1998 to the six months  ended  June 30,  1999.  Revenues
increased  primarily  from the  acquisition  of new businesses and also from the
completion of greenfield projects during both the second quarter of 1999 and the
six months ended June 30, 1999.  Acquisitions that contributed  significantly to
the overall increase in revenues include Southland,  Edelap, Panama, Telasi, and
certain of the New York plants. The start of commercial operations at Barry also
contributed  significantly  to the overall  increase in revenues.  Several other
businesses  also  experienced  modest  increases  in  revenues.   Revenues  were
negatively  impacted  at Sul  due  to the  effects  of  the  devaluation  of the
Brazilian  Real. A few other  businesses,  including  Tiszai,  also  experienced
modest decreases in revenues.

         Cost of sales and services  increased 9%, or approximately $36 million,
to $421 million from the second  quarter of 1998 to the second  quarter of 1999.
Cost of sales and services  increased 6%, or approximately $48 million,  to $830
million from the six months ended June 30, 1998 to the six months ended June 30,
1999.  Cost of sales and  services  generally  varies with  changes in revenues.
During both the second  quarter of 1999 and the six months  ended June 30, 1999,
the change in cost of sales and  services was relative to the change in revenues
as previously discussed.

         Gross margin,  which represents total revenues reduced by cost of sales
and services and the provision to reduce contract receivables, increased 27%, or
approximately  $48 million,  to $228 million from the second  quarter of 1998 to
the second quarter of 1999.  Gross margin as a percentage of revenues  increased
from 32% for the second  quarter of 1998 to 36% for the second  quarter of 1999.
Gross margin increased 31%, or approximately $105 million,  to $448 million from
the six months ended June 30, 1998 to the six months ended June 30, 1999.  Gross
margin as a percentage of revenues  increased  from 30% for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 to 35% for the six months  ended June 30,  1999.  The  increase in
gross  margin as a  percentage  of  revenues  was due to higher  relative  gross
margins at certain of the recently acquired businesses as well as improved gross
margins at certain of the existing  businesses.  Gross margin as a percentage of
revenues  was  favorably  impacted  by the  settlement  with the  government  of
Kazakhstan  which  resulted in a reduction in the  provision to reduce  contract
receivables.


                                      -11-

         Selling,   general  and  administrative   expenses  increased  25%,  or
approximately $3 million,  to $15 million from the second quarter of 1998 to the
second  quarter of 1999.  Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  as a
percentage of revenues  remained  constant at 2% for both the second  quarter of
1998  and the  second  quarter  of 1999.  Selling,  general  and  administrative
expenses increased 15%, or approximately $4 million, to $31 million from the six
months  ended June 30,  1998 to the six months  ended  June 30,  1999.  Selling,
general  and  administrative  expenses  as a  percentage  of  revenues  remained
constant  at 2% for both the six months  ended June 30,  1998 and the six months
ended June 30,  1999.  The  increase  in  selling,  general  and  administrative
expenses is consistent with the Company's overall growth.

         Operating income increased 27%, or approximately  $45 million,  to $213
million from the second quarter of 1998 to the second quarter of 1999. Operating
income as a percentage of revenues  increased from 30% for the second quarter of
1998 to 33% for the second quarter of 1999.  Operating  income increased 32%, or
approximately  $101 million,  to $417 million from the six months ended June 30,
1998 to the six months ended June 30, 1999.  Operating income as a percentage of
revenues  increased  from 28% for the six months  ended June 30, 1998 to 33% for
the six months  ended June 30, 1999.  The  increase in  operating  income is due
primarily to the increase in gross margin.

         Interest expense increased 44%, or approximately  $44 million,  to $143
million from the second quarter of 1998 to the second quarter of 1999.  Interest
expense  increased 37%, or approximately  $74 million,  to $276 million from the
six months ended June 30, 1998 to the six months  ended June 30, 1999.  Interest
expense  increased  primarily due to the interest at new businesses,  additional
project debt relating to CEMIG and additional  corporate  interest on the senior
debt and  convertible  subordinated  debentures  issued  within the past  twelve
months to finance new investments.

         Interest and other income remained constant at $17 million for both the
second quarter of 1998 and the second quarter of 1999. Interest and other income
increased 6%, or  approximately  $2 million,  to $33 million from the six months
ended June 30, 1998 to the six months ended June 30, 1999.

         Equity in earnings of affiliates  (before income taxes)  decreased 14%,
or approximately  $6 million,  to $37 million from the second quarter of 1998 to
the second  quarter of 1999.  Equity in earnings of  affiliates  (before  income
taxes)  decreased  approximately  $154 million to a loss of $54 million from the
six months ended June 30, 1998 to the six months ended June 30, 1999.  Equity in
earnings of affiliates (before income taxes) decreased  primarily due to foreign
currency  transaction  losses  recorded  at the  Brazilian  businesses  from the
devaluation  of the Brazilian  Real.  Equity in earnings of  affiliates  (before
income taxes) includes $12 million of foreign  currency  transaction  losses for
the second  quarter of 1999 and $144  million  of foreign  currency  transaction
losses  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1999.  Excluding  foreign  currency
transaction  losses,  equity in earnings of  affiliates  (before  income  taxes)
increased 11% to approximately $49 million in the second quarter of 1999.

         The  Company  recorded an income tax  provision  of $36 million for the
second quarter of 1998 and an income tax provision of $34 million for the second
quarter of 1999.  Excluding the foreign currency  transaction losses, the income
tax provision  would have been $38 million for the second  quarter of 1999.  The
Company recorded an income tax provision of $69 million for the six months ended
June 30,  1998 and an income tax  provision  of $28  million  for the six months
ended June 30, 1999.  Excluding the foreign  currency  transaction  losses,  the
income tax  provision  would have been


                                      -12-
<PAGE>

$74 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Foreign currency transaction
losses did not have a significant impact on the income  tax  provision  for  the
quarter and the six months ended June 30, 1998. The Company's effective tax rate
was 33% for 1998 and 32% for 1999.

         Minority  interest  decreased 36%, or approximately $8 million,  to $14
million from the second quarter of 1998 to the second quarter of 1999.  Minority
interest decreased 20%, or approximately $8 million, to $32 million from the six
months ended June 30, 1998 to the six months  ended June 30, 1999.  The decrease
in minority interest is due mainly to a lower contribution from CEMIG during the
second quarter of 1999.

         Net income remained constant at $71 million for both the second quarter
of 1998 and the second quarter of 1999.  Excluding foreign currency  transaction
losses,  net income increased 17%, or approximately $12 million,  to $84 million
from the  second  quarter  of 1998 to the  second  quarter  of 1999.  Net income
decreased 57%, or approximately $78 million,  to $58 million from the six months
ended June 30, 1998 to the six months  ended June 30,  1999.  Excluding  foreign
currency  transaction  losses,  net income increased 15%, or  approximately  $21
million,  to $158  million  from the six months  ended June 30,  1998 to the six
months  ended  June 30,  1999.  The  increase  in net income  excluding  foreign
currency  transaction losses reflects the increased business activity during the
second quarter of 1999 and the six months ended June 30, 1999.

FINANCIAL POSITION, CASH FLOWS AND FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES

          At June 30, 1999, cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $391
million,  as compared to $491  million at December  31,  1998.  The $100 million
decrease in cash,  along with $1,106 million from financing  activities and $159
million from operating  activities were used to fund $1,365 million of investing
activities.  Significant  investing  activities included the acquisitions of two
generation  companies in Panama,  six generation  plants in New York (which also
generated  $660  million  from the  sale and  leaseback  of these  assets,)  two
gas-fired plants in Australia,  as well as continued construction  activities at
various projects. The net source of cash from financing activities was primarily
the result of project  finance  borrowings of  approximately  $969 million,  the
issuance of $500 million in senior  notes and  proceeds  from the sale of common
stock of $514 million which were offset,  in part, by repayment of approximately
$614 million project  financing debt.  Unrestricted  net cash flow of the parent
company for the four  quarters  ended June 30, 1999 totaled  approximately  $381
million.

         Through its equity  investments in foreign affiliates and subsidiaries,
AES  operates  in  jurisdictions   with  currencies  other  than  the  Company's
functional currency, the U.S. dollar. Such investments and advances were made to
fund equity  requirements and to provide collateral for contingent  obligations.
Due  primarily to the long-term  nature of the  investments  and  advances,  the
Company accounts for any adjustments resulting from translation of the financial
statements  of its  foreign  investments  as a charge  or credit  directly  to a
separate  component  of  stockholders'  equity  until  such time as the  Company
realizes  such  charge  or  credit.  At that  time,  any  differences  would  be
recognized in the statement of operations as gains or losses.

         In addition, certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries have entered
into obligations in currencies other than their own functional currencies or the
U.S.  dollar.  These  subsidiaries  have  attempted to limit  potential  foreign
exchange  exposure by entering into revenue  contracts that adjust to changes in
the foreign exchange rates.  Certain foreign affiliates and subsidiaries operate
in countries  where the local  inflation  rates are greater than U.S.  inflation
rates. In such cases the foreign  currency tends to devalue relative to the U.S.
dollar over time. The Company's  subsidiaries  and affiliates  have entered into
revenue contracts which attempt to adjust for these differences,  however, there
can be no assurance that such adjustments will compensate for the full effect of
currency  devaluation,  if any. The Company had approximately  $1,195 million in
cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment losses at June 30, 1999.

         In April 1999, AES Cayman Guaiba  Limited,  an indirect  shareholder of
AES  Sul   Distribuidora   Gaucha  de  Energia  S.A.   refinanced  its  existing
non-recourse  project  financing.  The refinanced loan has a principal amount of
$410 million,  a three year term,  and in connection  therewith AES  contributed
$320 million as additional equity to AES Sul.

         In June  1999,  AES Ocean  Springs,  Ltd, a  subsidiary  of AES and the
shareholder of Empresa  Distribuidora de Energia Norte S.A. ("EDEN") and Empresa
Distribuidora  de  Energia  Sur S.A.  ("EDES"),  together  with  EDEN and  EDES,
refinanced their existing non-recourse project financings.  The refinanced loans
have an aggregate  principal  amount of  approximately  $193  million,  one year
terms, and in connection therewith AES contributed  approximately $39 million as
additional equity.

YEAR  2000

         There  are  three  main  elements  in  the  provision  of  electricity:
generation,   transmission  and  distribution,  all  of  which  form  a  tightly
integrated  "supplier  chain." In addition,  the Company's  businesses  are also
dependent on various industries supplying water, fuel and other utility


                                      -13-
<PAGE>


services.  AES,  through its  subsidiaries  and affiliates,  is involved in each
aspect of the supplier  chain in various  countries  throughout  the world.  Set
forth  below is  information  regarding  AES's  efforts to be  prepared  for the
problems  associated  with the  potential  inability of many  existing  computer
programs and/or  embedded  computer chips to recognize the year 2000, both those
in AES's businesses as well as those that AES's businesses depend upon.

         Certain of these statements may constitute forward-looking  information
as  contemplated  by the  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act of  1995,
including those regarding AES's expected readiness to handle Year 2000 problems,
expected  capital  expenditures  in the areas of  remediation  and testing,  the
future costs associated with business  disruption caused by supplier or customer
Year 2000 problems and the success of any contingency  plans.  AES cautions that
its  predictions of the extent of potential  problems and the  effectiveness  of
measures designed to address them are based on numerous assumptions,  like those
regarding  the accuracy of  statements or  certifications  from  critical  third
parties and vendors,  the ability to identify and remediate or replace  embedded
computer chips in affected  equipment,  and resource  availability,  among other
things,  and readers should be aware that actual results might differ materially
from those discussed below.

         AES's  approach to analyzing  Year 2000 issues is to (1)  inventory all
systems  and  equipment  likely  to  be  affected,   (2)  perform  an  inventory
assessment,  (3) conduct  remediations,  (4) test all equipment and systems, and
(5) develop contingency plans to aid in business continuity.

         AES'S STATE OF READINESS. In 1998, AES established a readiness program,
led by a senior  executive and consisting of a team of AES people with extensive
knowledge of AES's businesses and processes,  as well as outside consultants who
are being used as advisors to assist with third party  analysis and  contingency
planning.

         Approximately  85-90% of the  Company's  businesses  have  completed  a
thorough Year 2000 readiness  program.  The remaining  businesses have completed
the  testing  phase,  and are in the  process of  completing  their  contingency
planning and remediation programs. The Company expects to have these complete by
the end of the  third  quarter.  This  readiness  program  has  included,  where
possible,  actual Year 2000  simulations  as well as off-line  tests using dates
occurring after the year 2000, and the development of contingency  plans.  These
tests disclosed no material  difficulties  with recognizing and processing dates
after 1999. The Company is still evaluating the status of certain newly-acquired
subsidiaries  such as New Energy and Empresa  Distribuidora del Electricidad del
Este, S.A.

         The Company's  generation  plants are also  significantly  dependent on
transmission and  distribution  systems to carry the electricity to the ultimate
end users. Due to the interdependent nature of the supply chain, the Company has
extended  its   evaluation  of  Year  2000  issues  to  include  key  suppliers,
transmission  companies,  customers and vendors,  and has organized meetings and
sought written assurance from these parties as to their Year 2000 readiness.

         COSTS  OF   ADDRESSING   YEAR  2000  ISSUES.   The  Company  has  spent
approximately  $9  million  to date to  achieve  full Year 2000  readiness,  and
expects to spend an additional  $3-4 million (for a total of $12-13  million) to
achieve full Year 2000  readiness  company  wide.  These  amounts  reflect AES's
portion  of  expected  costs to make its  businesses  Year 2000  ready,  but not
necessarily  the costs  associated  with post- Year 2000  corrective  actions or
damages, if any. The Company expects to fund these expenditures through internal
sources.

         RISKS  OF  YEAR  2000  FAILURES.  Failures  by  each  of the  Company's
generation  and  distribution  companies to address Year 2000 issues may lead to
numerical  errors  that,  if  not  addressed  or  mitigated,  may  cause  system
malfunctions  resulting in the inability to deliver electricity or the inability
to collect data  necessary  for proper  billing and tariff  calculations,  among
other things.


                                      -14-
<PAGE>


         The  Company's  generation  business  may  also be  unable  to  deliver
electricity because of the failure of the interconnected  distribution companies
to receive or transmit the electricity.  Conversely,  the Company's distribution
companies may not receive  sufficient  electricity to deliver to their customers
because of failures  by  supplying  generators.  In such  instances  of business
interruption  due to supplier or customer  default,  the Company will pursue all
contractual  remedies  available  to it to minimize the impact on its results of
operations;  however,  the Company may be unable to recover damages arising from
third party Year 2000 failures.

         CONTINGENCY  PLANS. The Company  (together with appropriate  interested
parties like transmission companies, independent system operators and government
agencies) has identified and is testing appropriate contingency plans addressing
emergency  operations,   disaster  recovery,   data  preservation  and  business
continuation  plans,  and intends to continue testing through the fourth quarter
of 1999.  In addition  to our  remediation  programs,  the  Company's  Year 2000
readiness  efforts include  evaluation of reasonably likely worst case scenarios
and the  development  of  contingency  plans to address how we would  respond to
problems,  should they occur. As part of the contingency  planning process,  the
Company has addressed the scenarios  recommended in the North American  Electric
Reliablity  Council Year 2000 Contingency  Planning Guide, as well as additional
Company specified scenarios.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

         The  Company  believes  that  there  have been no  material  changes in
exposure to market risks during the second  quarter of 1999 from those set forth
in the Company's  Annual  Report filed with the  Commission on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1998.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

         In April 1999, the Company sold  10,000,000  shares of its common stock
for net proceeds of approximately $502 million. In June 1999, the Company issued
$500,000,000  of 9.50%  Senior  Notes due 2009.  The use of  proceeds  for these
offerings  was to meet  short-term  liquidity  needs of the  Company  related to
financing  certain  acquisitions,  providing equity  investments or other credit
support   to  assist  in  certain   project   refinancings,   repaying   certain
indebtedness, and otherwise for general corporate purpose.
