(1) This schedule presents on a proforma basis, the results of operations of
AES excluding the aggregate (both subsidiaries and affiliates) South American
affiliates foreign currency losses of approximately $114 million after income
tax and mark to market gain from FAS No. 133 of approximately $35 million
after income tax. This schedule also excludes loss on discontinued operations
of $215 million consisting mainly of Termocandelaria, Ib Valley, Power Direct
and telecommunication businesses in Brazil, the United States and the AES
Fifoots Point generation facility in the United Kingdom. In addition,
effective January 1, 2002, AES adopted the SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" which establishes accounting and reporting standards for
goodwill and other intangible assets. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 resulted
in a cumulative reduction to income of $473 million, net of income tax
effects. SFAS No. 142 adopts a fair value model for evaluating impairment of
goodwill in place of the recoverability model used previously. AES wrote-off
the goodwill associated with certain acquisitions where the current fair
market value of such businesses is less than the current carrying value of
the business, primarily as a result of reductions in fair value associated
with lower than expected growth in electricity consumption compared to the
original estimates made at the date of acquisition. If the excluded items are
taken into account, certain CILCO and IPL contributions to AES/CILCORP/IPALCO
on a consolidated basis would be different as follows: (94%) to Net Income.

(2) Gross business revenues (utility and non-utility) of IPALCO and CILCO
combined as a percentage of total gross business revenues (including
IPALCO/IPL and CILCORP/CILCO, utility and non-utility) of AES.

*  IPALCO has revised the factors used to allocate its revenues between its
   electric generation activities and its electric transmission and distribution
   and gas distribution activities. The current allocation, based on IPALCO's
   rate base, is 70% generation and 30% transmission and distribution. This
   does not change the overall amount of IPALCO revenues. For the Commission's
   convenience in comparing revenues for the current reporting period with
   revenues for the prior reporting period, IPALCO has applied the current
   allocation factor to its revenues for the 12 months ended December 31, 2001
   with the following results: $580 million electric generation revenues and
   $248 million electric transmission and distribution and gas distribution
   revenues.

IPALCO's electric revenues are allocated between electric generation and
electric transmission and distribution activities according to utility rate
base. CILCORP's electric


                                       21



revenues are allocated between electric generation and electric transmission and
distribution activities according to utility rate base. AES generation revenues
are derived from the total generation revenues earned by AES subsidiaries times
the percentage ownership interest of AES in those subsidiaries.

There has been no change in the amount of generation capacity owned by CILCORP
or IPALCO and an 887 MW increase in the amount of generation capacity owned by
AES (excluding CILCORP and IPALCO) from 38,724 to 39,611 MW since December 31,
2001. There has been a 3% increase in the total revenues earned from the
capacity owned by AES, IPALCO and CILCORP in the twelve-month period ended March
31, 2002 compared with the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2001. The
percentage of the total revenues derived from the generation capacity owned by
CILCORP has remained the same at 3%. The percentage of total revenues derived
from the generation capacity owned by IPALCO has remained the same at 12%.

The physical location of the MW capacity added by AES since December 31, 2001
is in: Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, Republic of South Africa, Argentina, Brazil,
Chile and the United States.

*  IPALCO has revised the factors used to allocate its revenues between its
   electric generation activities and its electric transmission and distribution
   and gas distribution activities. The current allocation, based on IPALCO's
   rate base, is 70% generation and 30% transmission and distribution. This

   revenues.

IPALCO's electric revenues are allocated between electric generation and
electric transmission and distribution activities according to utility rate
base. CILCORP's electric revenues are allocated between electric generation and
electric transmission and distribution activities according to utility rate
base. AES transmission and distribution revenues are derived from the total
revenues earned by AES transmission and distribution subsidiaries by multiplying
these revenues by the percentage ownership interest of AES in those
subsidiaries.

The total transmission and distribution assets owned by AES, CILCORP and IPALCO
have increased since December 31, 2001. CILCORP's transmission and distribution
assets have decreased while the revenues derived from such assets have decreased
since December 31, 2001. IPALCO's transmission and distribution assets have
increased while the revenues derived from such assets have decreased since
December 31, 2001.

AES' transmission and distribution assets have increased and the revenues
derived from such assets have decreased since December 31, 2001. CILCORP's
percentage of the total transmission and distribution assets has remained the
same at 10%, and CILCORP's percentage of the total revenues from such assets has
decreased from 9% to 7% for the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2002
compared to the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2001. IPALCO's
percentage of the total transmission and distribution assets has remained the
same at 13%, and IPALCO's percentage of the total revenues from such assets has
decreased from 5% to 4% for the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2002
compared to the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2001.

ITEM (5) PER EXEMPTION ORDER:

Neither CILCO nor IPL has sold or transferred any electric and/or gas utility
assets to any affiliate company of the AES consolidated holding company system
during the first quarter of 2002. On February 13, 2002, CILCO filed with the
Illinois Commerce Commission a "Notice of Transfer of Generating Assets" stating
its intent to transfer substantially all of its generating assets to its wholly
owned subsidiary, Central Illinois Generation, Inc. An Administrative Law Judge
of the Illinois Commerce Commission issued a Proposed Order on March 29, 2002
approving the transfer, and the Commission voted to approve the transfer at a
meeting on April 10, 2002.

ITEM (6) PER EXEMPTION ORDER:

During the first quarter of 2002, no application has been made to nor has any
order been received from the Illinois Commerce Commission that involves AES'
ownership position or AES' oversight over the operations of CILCO or CILCORP.
During the first quarter 2002, no application has been made to nor has any order
been received from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission that involves AES'
ownership position or AES' oversight over the operations of IPL or IPALCO.

ITEM (7) PER EXEMPTION ORDER:

During the first quarter of 2002, bids were submitted for the divestiture of
CILCORP, including the jurisdictional business and assets of CILCO. Although not
in the first quarter of 2002, AES announced on April 29, 2002 an agreement with
Ameren Corporation to sell 100% of AES's ownership interest in CILCORP,
including the jurisdictional business and assets of CILCO. The transaction is
subject to various regulatory approvals and is expected to close in 2003.
