NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------
1. Indianapolis Power & Light Company is a subsidiary of IPALCO
Enterprises, Inc.
2. 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 1993 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
3. LONG-TERM DEBT
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.
4. RATE MATTERS
In the retail electric rate case now pending before the Indiana
Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC), a prehearing conference was
held on June 8, 1994, and an order was issued July 20, 1994,
establishing a test year ending June 30, 1994. IPL filed its case in
chief on October 11, 1994. The IURC has scheduled hearings on IPL's
request to begin on February 7, 1995.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
- --------
The Board of Directors of Indianapolis Power & Light Company (IPL)
on August 30, 1994, declared a quarterly dividend on common stock of
$20,010,662. The dividend was paid by IPL to IPALCO Enterprises, Inc. in
October, 1994.
Internally generated cash provided by IPL's operations and the
issuance of long-term debt were used primarily for 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.
-6-
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.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of Quarters Ended September 30, 1994 and September 30, 1993
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Income applicable to common stock decreased $1.7 million during the
third quarter of 1994 from the comparable 1993 period. The following
discussion highlights the factors contributing to this result.
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:
Retail KWH Sales By Customer Class
In Millions of KWHs
Three Months Ended September 30,
1994 1993 % Change
------- ------- --------
Residential 1,102.6 1,168.8 (5.7)%
Commercial 583.6 600.7 (2.8)
Industrial 1,722.7 1,717.6 0.3
Other 16.2 16.2 0.0
------- -------
Total Retail 3,425.1 3,503.3 (2.2)
======= =======
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.
-7-
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.
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
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Income applicable to common stock increased $1.5 million during the
first nine months of 1994 from the comparable 1993 period. The following
discussion highlights the factors contributing to this result.
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:
Retail KWH Sales By Customer Class
In Millions of KWHs
Nine Months Ended September 30,
1994 1993 % Change
------- ------- --------
Residential 3,230.5 3,128.3 3.3%
Commercial 1,714.2 1,689.7 1.4
Industrial 4,769.9 4,683.8 1.8
Other 54.8 52.4 4.6
------- -------
Total Retail 9,769.4 9,554.2 2.3
======= =======
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.
-8-
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.
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.
