                        Report of Independent Accountants

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
The Dayton Power & Light Company



In our opinion,  the  accompanying  balance sheet and the related  statements of
income,  of cash flows and of owner's  net  investment  present  fairly,  in all
material respects,  the financial position of The Dayton Power & Light Company's
natural gas retail  distribution  business  (the Gas  Business)  at December 31,
1999,  and the  results of its  operations  and its cash flows for the year then
ended in conformity with accounting  principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Gas
Business's  management;  our  responsibility  is to  express an opinion on these
financial  statements  based  on our  audit.  We  conducted  our  audit of these
statements  in  accordance  with auditing  standards  generally  accepted in the
United  States of America,  which  require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free of
material  misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements,  assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Natural Gas Retail Distribution Business


Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1999
(In Thousands)

1.       Basis of Presentation

         On  October  31,  2000,  The Dayton  Power & Light  Company  (DP&L),  a
         subsidiary  of DPL  Inc.,  sold its  natural  gas  retail  distribution
         business (the Gas Business) to Vectren  Energy  Delivery of Ohio,  Inc.
         and  Indiana  Gas  Company,  Inc.  pursuant  to the  terms  of an asset
         purchase  agreement dated December 14, 1999. Prior to the sale, the Gas
         Business operated as a division of DP&L. The Gas Business sells natural
         gas to residential,  commercial,  industrial and governmental customers
         in a 6,000 square mile area of West  Central Ohio and provides  natural
         gas to over 300,000 customers in 16 counties.

         The  accompanying  financial  statements  are  presented on a carve-out
         basis and include the  historical  operations of the Gas Business.  The
         assets and liabilities of the Gas Business have been reflected in these
         financial   statements  at  DP&L's   historical   cost.  The  financial
         information  in these  financial  statements  does not include  certain
         expenses  and  adjustments  that may  have  been  incurred  had the Gas
         Business been a separate,  independent company, and may not necessarily
         be  indicative of results that would have occurred had the Gas Business
         been a separate, independent company during the periods presented or of
         the future  results of the Gas  Business.  The  accompanying  financial
         statements have been prepared on a historical  basis and do not reflect
         any effects related to the sale of the Gas Business. For the year ended
         December 31, 1999,  the net income of the Gas Business was equal to its
         comprehensive income.

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         The  policies  utilized by the Gas Business in the  preparation  of the
         financial   statements   conform  to  generally   accepted   accounting
         principles  and require  management to make  estimates and  assumptions
         that  affect  the  reported  amount  of  assets  and  liabilities,  and
         disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities,  at the date of the
         financial  statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
         during the  reporting  period.  Actual  amounts could differ from these
         estimates  and  assumptions.  All  allocations  of costs and  estimates
         included  in  the  accompanying   financial  statements  are  based  on
         assumptions   that  management   believes  are  reasonable   under  the
         circumstances.   However,  these  allocations  and  estimates  are  not
         necessarily  indicative  of the  costs and  expenses  that  would  have
         resulted if the Gas Business had been operating as a separate entity.

         All charges and  allocations  of costs for  facilities,  functions  and
         services  performed by DP&L, which are discussed in more detail in Note
         4, have been charged to owner's net  investment  by the Gas Business in
         the period in which the cost was recorded in the financial statements.

         General taxes included in the Income Statement  represent  expenses for
         taxes other than  income  taxes,  such as  property,  use and  employee
         related taxes.

         Revenues

         Revenues  include  amounts  charged to  customers  through gas recovery
         clauses,  which are  adjusted  periodically  for changes in such costs.
         Related costs that are  recoverable or refundable in future periods are
         deferred  along with the related  income tax effects.  Also included in
         revenues  are amounts  charged to  customers  through a  surcharge  for
         recovery of arrearages from certain eligible low-income households. The
         Gas Business  records revenue for services  provided but not yet billed
         to more closely match revenues with expenses.

         Property, Maintenance and Depreciation

         Property is shown at its original cost.  Cost includes direct labor and
         material  and  allocable  overhead  costs.  When a unit of  property is
         retired,  the original  cost of that  property plus the cost of removal
         less  any  salvage  value  is  charged  to  accumulated   depreciation.
         Maintenance  costs and  replacements  of minor  items of  property  are
         charged  to  expense.  Depreciation  expense  is  calculated  using the
         straight-line  method which  depreciates  the cost of property over its
         estimated useful life.  Depreciation rates utilized by the Gas Business
         during the year ended  December 31, 1999 averaged  approximately  three
         percent.

3.       Regulatory Matters

         The Gas Business  applies the  provision of the FASB  Statement No. 71,
         "Accounting  for the  Effects of  Certain  Types of  Regulation".  This
         accounting  standard  provides for the deferral of costs authorized for
         future  recovery by  regulators.  As of December 31, 1999,  $14,669 and
         $3,290 of regulatory  assets are included in other  current  assets and
         other assets, respectively, on the Balance Sheet.

4.       Related Party Activities

         Cash Management

         DP&L uses a centralized cash management system.  Cash deposits from the
         Gas Business are  transferred to DP&L on a daily basis,  and DP&L funds
         the Gas  Business  disbursements  as  required.  No  interest  has been
         charged or credited to transactions with the Gas Business.

         Shared Services

         DP&L provides  certain general and  administrative  services to the Gas
         Business  including  finance,  legal,  information  systems,  benefits,
         advertising,  customer  services  and  facilities.  The  costs of these
         shared services (excluding employee benefits which are discussed below)
         are  included in the Income  Statement  of the Gas  Business  generally
         based  on  the  Gas  Business's  revenues,   customers,   employees  or
         properties in relation to total DPL Inc. revenues, customers, employees
         or properties, as applicable. Management believes these methods of cost
         allocation  are  reasonable.  Such costs during the year ended December
         31, 1999 totaled approximately $10,900.

         Employee Benefits

         DP&L provides certain employee  benefits to the Gas Business  including
         health care, dental care, life insurance, long-term disability, pension
         plans,  and savings plans.  The costs of these benefits are included in
         the Income  Statement of the Gas Business  based on labor  utilization,
         which management believes to be reasonable.  Such costs during the year
         ended December 31, 1999 totaled approximately $1,500.

         Insurance and Claims Costs

         The Gas Business  receives  certain  property and  liability,  business
         interruption,  and other  risk  insurance  coverage  from an  affiliate
         subsidiary  of DPL Inc.  Costs  charged  to the Gas  Business  for this
         insurance  coverage  are  based  on the  Gas  Business'  properties  in
         relation to total DPL, Inc. properties, which management believes to be
         reasonable.  The Gas Business incurred  approximately $600 of insurance
         premium and claims  costs in 1999,  which are  reflected  in the Income
         Statement.

5.       Income Taxes

         U.S. income tax payments,  refunds, credits, provision and deferred tax
         components  have been allocated to the Gas Business in accordance  with
         DP&L's tax  allocation  policy.  Such policy  allocates tax  components
         included in the  consolidated  income tax return of DPL Inc. to the Gas
         Business to the extent such  components were generated by or related to
         the Gas Business.  Such  allocation  results in income tax expense that
         would have resulted if the Gas Business was a stand-alone entity.

The Dayton Power & Light Company
Natural Gas Retail Distribution Business


Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2000
(In Thousands)

1.       Basis of Presentation

         On  October  31,  2000,  The Dayton  Power & Light  Company  (DP&L),  a
         subsidiary  of DPL  Inc.,  sold its  natural  gas  retail  distribution
         business (the Gas Business) to Vectren  Energy  Delivery of Ohio,  Inc.
         and  Indiana  Gas  Company,  Inc.  pursuant  to the  terms  of an asset
         purchase  agreement dated December 14, 1999. Prior to the sale, the Gas
         Business operated as a division of DP&L. The Gas Business sells natural
         gas to residential,  commercial,  industrial and governmental customers
         in a 6,000 square mile area of West  Central Ohio and provides  natural
         gas to over 300,000 customers in 16 counties.

         The accompanying  unaudited interim financial  statements are presented
         on a carve-out  basis and include the historical  operations of the Gas
         Business.  The assets and  liabilities  of the Gas  Business  have been
         reflected in these financial  statements at DP&L's historical cost. The
         financial  information in these interim  financial  statements does not
         include certain  expenses and adjustments that would have been incurred
         had the Gas Business been a separate,  independent company, and may not
         necessarily  be  indicative of results that would have occurred had the
         Gas Business been a separate,  independent  company  during the periods
         presented or of future  results of the Gas Business.  The  accompanying
         unaudited  interim  financial   statements  have  been  prepared  on  a
         historical  basis and do not reflect any effects related to the sale of
         the Gas Business. For all periods presented on the accompanying interim
         income  statement,  the net income of the Gas Business was equal to its
         comprehensive income.

         These unaudited  interim financial  statements  reflect all adjustments
         that,  in the opinion of  management,  are  necessary to provide a fair
         presentation of the financial position,  results of operations and cash
         flows for the dates and periods covered.  In the opinion of management,
         all such adjustments are of a normal recurring  nature.  Interim period
         results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash
         flows  for  a  full-year  period.  These  unaudited  interim  financial
         statements  should be read in  conjunction  with the audited  financial
         statements of the Gas Business for the year ended December 31, 1999.

         All charges  and  allocations  of costs for  facilities,  function  and
         services  performed by DP&L, which are discussed in more detail in Note
         2, have been charged to owner's net  investment  by the Gas Business in
         the period in which the cost was recorded in the financial statements.

2.       Related Party Activities

         Cash Management

         DP&L uses a centralized cash management system.  Cash deposits from the
         Gas  Business are  transferred  to DP&L on a daily basis and DP&L funds
         the Gas  Business  disbursements  as  required.  No  interest  has been
         charged or credited to transactions with the Gas Business.

         Shared Services

         DP&L provides  certain general and  administrative  services to the Gas
         Business  including  finance,  legal,  information  systems,  benefits,
         advertising,  customer  services  and  facilities.  The  costs of these
         shared services (excluding employee benefits which are discussed below)
         are  included in the Income  Statement  of the Gas  Business  generally
         based on the Gas Business' revenues, customers, employees or properties
         in  relation  to  total  DPL Inc.  revenues,  customers,  employees  or
         properties,  as applicable.  Management  believes these methods of cost
         allocation are  reasonable.  Such costs during the  nine-month  periods
         ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999  totaled  approximately  $5,640 and
         $4,280, respectively.

         Employee Benefits

         DP&L provides certain employee  benefits to the Gas Business  including
         health care, dental care, life insurance, long-term disability, pension
         plans and savings  plans.  The costs of these  benefits are included in
         the Income  Statement of the Gas Business  based on labor  utilization,
         which  management  believes  to be  reasonable.  Such costs  during the
         nine-month   periods   ended   September  30,  2000  and  1999  totaled
         approximately $660 and $1,050, respectively.

         Insurance and Claims Costs

         The Gas Business  receives  certain  property and  liability,  business
         interruption,  and other  risk  insurance  coverage  from an  affiliate
         subsidiary  of DPL Inc.  Costs  charged  to the Gas  Business  for this
         insurance  coverage  are  based  on the  Gas  Business'  properties  in
         relation to total DPL, Inc. properties, which management believes to be
         reasonable.  Costs  related  to  this  insurance  coverage  during  the
         nine-month   periods   ended   September  30,  2000  and  1999  totaled
         approximately $460 and $600, respectively.

                         Pro Forma Financial Information

The accompanying  financial  statements  present the unaudited pro forma balance
sheet as of September 30, 2000 and the  unaudited pro forma  statement of income
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and for the year ended December 31,
1999.

On October 31, 2000, Vectren Corporation  (Vectren) completed its acquisition of
the  natural  gas  distribution  assets of The  Dayton  Power and Light  Company
(Acquisition)  for  approximately  $465  million  pursuant to an Asset  Purchase
Agreement dated December 14, 1999.  Vectren acquired the gas utility assets as a
tenancy in common  through two separate  wholly-owned  subsidiaries.  Operations
will be conducted under the name Vectren Energy  Delivery of Ohio (VEDO).  Under
the acquisition structure, Indiana Gas Company, Inc., one of Vectren's operating
public utilities, holds a 47 percent undivided ownership interest and VEDO has a
53 percent undivided ownership interest.

The  unaudited  pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 2000 is presented as
if the  Acquisition  had occurred on September 30, 2000. The pro forma statement
of income for the nine month  period ended  September  30, 2000 and for the year
ended  December  31, 1999 are  presented as if the  Acquisition  had occurred at
January 1, 1999.

Preparation  of the pro forma  financial  information  was based on  assumptions
deemed appropriate by management.  The pro forma information is unaudited and is
not necessarily  indicative of the results which actually would have occurred if
the transaction had been  consummated at the beginning of the period  presented,
nor does it purport to represent  the future  financial  position and results of
operations  for  future  periods.  The pro forma  information  should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated  financial statements of Vectren filed
on Form 8-K for the year ended  December  31, 1999 and the  unaudited  financial
statements  of Vectren  filed on Form 10-Q for the quarter  ended  September 30,
2000.

           NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       Basis of Presentation

Vectren  Corporation  (Vectren)  is  a  public  utility  holding  company  whose
wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Vectren Utility Holdings, Inc. (VUHI), is the holding
company of Vectren's two operating public utilities,  Indiana Gas Company,  Inc.
(Indiana Gas),  and Southern  Indiana Gas and Electric  Company.  On October 31,
2000,  Vectren completed its acquisition of the natural gas distribution  assets
of The Dayton  Power and Light  Company  (Acquisition)  for  approximately  $465
million pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 14, 1999. Vectren
acquired  the gas utility as a tenancy in common  through two  separate  wholly-
owned  subsidiaries.  Operations will be conducted under the name Vectren Energy
Delivery of Ohio (VEDO). Under the acquisition structure, Indiana Gas holds a 47
percent  undivided  ownership  interest  and  VEDO  has a 53  percent  undivided
ownership interest.

The  accompanying  combined pro forma  financial  statements  give effect to the
Acquisition.  The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of September 30,
2000 is  presented as if the  Acquisition  and the related  debt  financing  had
occurred on September 30, 2000. The pro forma  combined  statement of income for
the nine month period ended  September 30, 2000 and for the year ended  December
31, 1999 are presented as if the Dayton  Acquisition  had occurred at January 1,
1999.

2.       Pro Forma Adjustments to Balance Sheet

(a)      Determination of total purchase price:

      Cash purchase price                                       $463,981
      Liability assumed for customer deposits                      7,881
      Transaction costs                                            5,818
                                                                --------
      Total purchase price                                      $477,680
                                                                ========



(b)      Allocation of purchase price:

      Cash purchase price                                       $463,981
      Transaction costs                                            5,818
                                                                --------
                                                                 469,799
                                                                ========

      Tangible assets acquired                                   278,080
      Liabilities assumed                                         (7,881)
                                                                ---------
      Net assets acquired                                        270,199
                                                                ---------
      Excess allocated to goodwill                              $199,600
                                                                ========




     The above reflects Management's preliminary purchase price allocation based
     upon  information  currently  available.  The purchase  price is subject to
     adjustment  based  upon  finalization  of  the  closing  balance  sheet  in
     accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement.  Management believes that any
     such adjustment will not be material.

(c)  Pro forma adjustment to reclassify  deferred  transaction costs incurred as
     of September 30, 2000 of $3,336 to goodwill and to reflect the cash payment
     at closing of $2,482 for the remaining transaction costs.

(d)  A $435  million  commercial  paper  program  established  by VUHI  provided
     $434,360 of the initial Acquisition  financing.  Additionally,  Indiana Gas
     provided  $29,621 from its commercial  paper program for total financing of
     $463,981.  On December 28, 2000,  VUHI issued a $150 million  Floating Rate
     Note due December 27, 2001,  replacing an equal amount of commercial paper.
     Management anticipates that the short-term financings will be replaced over

3.   Pro Forma Adjustments to Income Statements

     (a)  Pro forma  adjustment  to reflect  the  amortization  of  goodwill  of
          $199,600 amortized over a period of 40 years.

     (b)  Pro  forma  adjustment  to  reflect  the  interest  expense  from  the
          Acquisition  financing based upon borrowings of $463,981 at an average
          interest rate of approximately 6.0 percent annum (see 2d)

     (c)  Pro forma  adjustment  to reflect the income tax benefit on a combined
          federal and state statutory rate of 35 percent.

     (d)  Vectren and Dayton  Power and Light  Company  (DP&L)  entered  into an
          agreement whereby DP& L will provide  transitional  support to Vectren
          in the areas of meter reading,  billing,  cash receipts,  collections,
          customer deposits,  telecommunication services and other miscellaneous
          services  for a  predetermined  fee.  Because  these  fees  will be no
          greater than the  historical  costs  incurred by DP&L for such support
          services  for its natural gas  distribution  operations,  no pro forma
          adjustment has been reflected.
