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 and a 994 MW increase in the amount of generation capacity owned by AES (excluding CILCORP and IPALCO) from 34,942 to 35,936 MW since June 30, 2001. There has been a 5.5% increase in the total revenues earned from the capacity owned by AES and CILCORP in the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2001 compared with the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2001. The percentage of total revenues derived from the generation capacity owned by CILCORP has remained the same at 4%. The physical location of the MW capacity added by AES since June 30, 2001 is in the United States, Argentina and Cameroon.
