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

     The Company's earnings for the first quarter of 1996 increased
$3.4 million compared to the same period a year ago.  Continued strong
business activity and colder than normal winter weather were the main
reasons behind the improved financial performance.  The Company was
also able to continue to control costs, which helped to achieve the
earnings growth.

     An analysis of the financial condition and results of operations
for the first quarter ended March 31, 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 March 31, 1996, the Company's cash and temporary cash
investment balance was $68.6 million.

     The Company has available to it $97 million in short-term
informal lines of credit.  As of March 31, 1996, the Company had no
short-term debt outstanding.  DPL Inc. and its subsidiaries have
$200 million available through a Revolving Credit Agreement.  As of
March 31, 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.









                                   
                                  -8-
<PAGE>

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

     Electric revenues increased by $8.6 million for the first quarter
of 1996.  Residential customer revenues were up $9.0 million as a
result of higher sales from colder weather.

     Gas revenues increased $5.3 million from the corresponding
quarter last year.  The variance reflects a 16% increase in gas sales
due to colder weather and to increased business activity.

     Fuel and purchased power declined $2.5 million in the first
quarter primarily due to lower electric fuel costs.  Operation and
maintenance expense was $4.5 million higher in the first quarter of
1996 compared to 1995.  The variance was due to increased insurance
costs.

     Income taxes increased $3.9 million from the first quarter of
1995 primarily due to higher book income.

                      ---------------------------

Item 5.  Other Information.

Rate Regulation and Government Legislation
- ------------------------------------------

     On April 24, 1996, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
("FERC") issued final rules requiring all electric utilities that own
or control transmission facilities to file open-access transmission
service tariffs, which tariffs would provide third parties with non-
discriminatory wholesale transmission service comparable to what the
utility provides itself.  The rules require all such filings within
60 days of the publication of the orders in the Federal Register.  The
Company filed its open-access tariff on April 12, 1996.  FERC further
stated that all stranded costs reasonably incurred and costs of
complying with the rules will be recoverable by electric utilities.

     On March 21, 1996, legislation was introduced in the Ohio House
of Representatives which would restructure the electric industry in
Ohio.  It is not expected that this legislation will be passed during
this legislative session.

     On January 25, 1996, Governor Voinovich reappointed Chairman
Craig A. Glazer to the PUCO for a five year term which commenced on
April 11, 1996 and will extend until April 10, 2001.


Item 6.  Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K.

     (b)  Reports on Form 8-K
          -------------------

     No reports on Form 8-K were filed by the DPL Inc. during the
quarter ended March 31, 1996.
