Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
          and Results of Operations

     The Company's earnings on common stock for the second quarter of
1996 were slightly less than a year ago.  Year-to-date earnings on
common stock increased by $2.7 million from the same period in 1995.
The West Central Ohio economy remained very strong in the second
quarter with unemployment levels in the service area dropping below
4%, outpacing both the state and national economies.  This
performance, combined with more seasonal weather than last year, led
to an increase in retail electric and total natural gas sales of 5%
and 15%, respectively, over year-to-date 1995 levels.

     An analysis of the financial condition and results of operations
for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 is
discussed below.

Financial Condition
- -------------------

     Construction plans are subject to continuing review and are
expected to be revised in light of changes in financial and economic
conditions, load forecasts, legislative and regulatory developments
and changing environmental standards, among other factors.  The
Company's ability to complete its capital projects and the reliability
of future service will be affected by its financial condition, the
availability of external funds at reasonable cost and adequate and
timely rate increases.

     As of June 30, 1996, the Company's cash and temporary cash
investment balance was $10.1 million.  In addition, $90.0 million was
invested in debt and equity financial assets.

     The Company has available to it $97 million in short-term
informal lines of credit.  As of June 30, 1996, the Company had no
short-term debt outstanding.  DPL Inc. and its subsidiaries have
$200 million available through a Revolving Credit Agreement ("Credit
Agreement").  As of June 30, 1996, DPL Inc. had no outstanding
borrowings under this Credit Agreement.  The Company has authority
from the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio ("PUCO") to issue short
term debt up to $200 million with a maximum debt limit of $300 million
including loans from DPL Inc. under the terms of the Credit Agreement.

     The Company anticipates that it has sufficient capacity to issue
First Mortgage Bonds to satisfy its requirements in connection with
the financing of its construction and refinancing programs during the
five year period 1996-2000.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     Electric revenues increased by $10.7 million and $19.3 million,
respectively, for the second quarter and six months ended June 30,
1996, over the corresponding periods in 1995.  Residential customer
revenues were up 12% for the second quarter and 10% year-to-date as a
result of weather-related sales.

     Gas revenues increased $5.2 million and $10.5 million,
respectively, from the second quarter and year-to-date last year.  The
variance reflects increased gas sales of 13% in the second quarter and
15% year-to-date over last year due to colder weather and increased
business activity.

     Fuel and purchased power expense decreased $4.9 million and $7.5
million, respectively, for the second quarter and year-to-date.  The
variance is a result of lower sales to other utilities as well as a
lower fuel cost recovery rate.

     Gas purchased for resale increased $1.8 million from the
corresponding quarter in 1995 and $3.4 million from year-to-date last
year primarily as a result of the increased sales.

     Operation and maintenance expense increased over last year by
$13.6 million for the quarter and $18.1 million year-to-date due to
higher insurance and claims expenses and planned maintenance measures
undertaken in the second quarter in preparation for the upcoming
summer cooling season.

     Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.1 million from
the previous year's second quarter and $4.2 million year-to-date.
This variance reflects increased depreciable assets and a second
quarter adjustment to the depreciation reserve.

     General taxes increased $2.0 million over the first six months of
last year due to increased property taxes.

     Income taxes increased $3.1 million and $6.9 million,
respectively, over the second quarter and year-to-date 1995 primarily
due to higher pre-tax income.
