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

         DPL Inc. reported earnings per share of $0.36 for the 
third quarter of 1994, as compared to $0.33 per share in the 
same period a year ago.  For the nine months ended September 30, 
1994, earnings were $1.27 per share, up seven cents from $1.20 
per share in 1993.  The West Central Ohio economy continues to 
drive strong energy sales.  Retail electric sales have increased 
3% year-to-date over last year, boosted by a 5% gain in 
electricity sales to business customers in the same period.  
Total natural gas sales have increased 7% in 1994 due to strong 
economic growth and cold weather early in the year.  Ongoing 
cost control measures, including savings from refinancing 
activities, contributed to this financial performance.

         Earnings per share for 1993 were restated from $0.32 
and $1.15 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 
respectively, to reflect adoption of a new Financial Accounting 
Standards Board-approved Statement of Position on Accounting for 
Employee Stock Ownership Plans.

         An analysis of the financial condition and results of 
operation for the third quarter and nine months ended 
September 30, 1994 and 1993 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.  DP&L'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 September 30, 1994, DPL Inc.'s cash and temporary 
cash investment balance was $111.8 million.

         DP&L has available to it $97 million in short-term 
informal lines of credit.  As of September 30, 1994, DP&L had no 
short-term debt outstanding.  DPL Inc. and its subsidiaries have 
$200 million available through a Revolving Credit Agreement.  As 
of September 30, 1994, DPL Inc. had no outstanding borrowings 
under this Credit Agreement.  DP&L has authority from the 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.




                                9

         DPL Inc. anticipates that it has sufficient capacity to 
issue First Mortgage Bonds of DP&L to satisfy its requirements 
in connection with the financing of its construction and 
refunding programs during the five year period 1994-1998.


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

         Electric revenues increased $2.8 million and 
$39.6 million, respectively, for the third quarter and nine 
months ended September 30, 1994, over the same periods in 1993.  
Retail electric sales increased 3% year-to-date reflecting 
favorable weather conditions and the continued strength of the 
West Central Ohio economy.  The electric revenue increase also 
includes the effects of the last phase of the electric rate 
increase which was effective January 1, 1994.

         Fuel used in electric and steam production decreased 
$4.9 million for the quarter and $1.7 million year-to-date from 
the same periods in 1993, primarily related to decreased sales 
to other utilities and lower per unit fuel costs.

         Gas revenues and gas purchased for resale decreased 
$1.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, from the 
corresponding quarter last year due to mild fall temperatures.  
Year-to-date gas revenues and gas purchased for resale increased 
$6.9 million and $5.3 million, respectively, over the same 
period in 1993.  The higher amounts are due to a total gas sales 
increase of 7% and a higher gas cost recovery factor.

         The increase in interest and other income in the third 
quarter and first nine months of 1994 over 1993 was related to 
higher returns on investments partially offset in the nine 
months by a decrease in interest associated with federal income 
tax refunds.

         Operating and administrative expenses decreased 
$15.7 million year-to-date from the same period a year ago.  
Bond redemption costs of $22.8 million were incurred in the 
first half of 1993.  Benefits and claims costs increased in 1994 
versus 1993.

         Maintenance expenses decreased $2.8 million and 
increased $2.2 million, respectively, for the third quarter and 
year-to-date over the corresponding periods in 1993.  The 
increase in electric generating station maintenance activities 
earlier in the year was partially offset by a decrease in the 
third quarter.





                               10
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
         General taxes expense increased $2.3 million during the 
third quarter and $5.1 million year-to-date over the same 
periods a year ago.  The increase is primarily related to higher 
gross receipts taxes due to higher revenues and higher property 
taxes.

         Interest expense decreased $2.5 million year-to-date in 
1994 due to the issuance of First Mortgage Bonds in 1993 
overlapping the related debt series which were subsequently 
redeemed in 1993 and lower interest rates on long-term debt 
obtained through the refinancings.

         Regulatory assets capitalized in years prior to 1994 
are being recovered over a seven year period commencing in 1994.

         Income taxes increased $2.4 million and $19.1 million, 
respectively, for the third quarter and year-to-date 1994, over 
the corresponding periods in 1993.  The higher amounts result 
from a corresponding increase in taxable income over the same 
periods in the prior year.

Item 5.  Other Information.


Electric Operations and Fuel Supply
- -----------------------------------

         A merger agreement between The Cincinnati Gas & 
Electric Company ("CG&E") and PSI Resources, Inc. has been 
pending.  DP&L intervened in the merger proceedings at the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") in January 1993 
and at the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") in June 
1994 to ensure that the operations of its commonly owned 
generating units will not be adversely impacted by the merger.  
The FERC approved the merger on October 3, 1994.  On October 14, 
1994, DP&L entered into a settlement agreement with CG&E, PSI 
and CINergy Corp. which resolved DP&L's concerns with the 
proposed merger.  As part of the settlement, DP&L withdrew from 
the SEC proceeding and has committed not to appeal the FERC 
approval.  The SEC approved the merger on October 21, 1994.


Gas Operations and Gas Supply
- -----------------------------

1.       In January 1994, DP&L, the Staff of the Public 
Utilities Commission of Ohio ("PUCO") and the Office of the Ohio 
Consumers' Counsel submitted to the PUCO an agreement which 
resolves issues relating to the recovery of Order 636 
"transition costs" to be billed to DP&L by FERC natural gas 
interstate pipeline companies.  The agreement, which was 
approved by the PUCO on July 14, 1994, provides for the full 
recovery of these transition costs from DP&L customers.  The 
interstate pipelines will file with the FERC for authority to 
recover these transition costs, the exact magnitude of which has 
not been established.

         On October 6, 1994, the PUCO authorized DP&L's plan to 
use pipeline supplier refunds to partially offset transition 
cost billings to natural gas customers.  This approval will help 
stabilize gas costs while continuing to ensure DP&L's full 
recovery of transition costs.

Environmental Considerations
- ----------------------------

Air Quality
- -----------

         In December 1988, the United States Environmental 
Protection Agency ("U.S. EPA") notified the State of Ohio that 
the portion of its State Implementation Plan ("SIP") dealing 
with sulfur dioxide emission limitations for Hamilton County (in 
southwestern Ohio) was deficient and required the Ohio 
Environmental Protection Agency ("Ohio EPA") to develop a new 
SIP within 18 months.  The notice affected industrial and 
utility sources and could have required significant reductions 
in sulfur dioxide emission limitations at CG&E's Miami Fort 
Units 7 and 8 which are jointly owned with DP&L.  

         In October 1991, the Ohio EPA adopted new SO2 
regulations for Hamilton County.  These regulations did not 
change the preexisting requirements for Miami Fort 
Units 7 and 8.  On August 23, 1994, the U.S. EPA provided notice 
in the Federal Register of its final ruling that the new 
regulations for the Ohio SIP for Hamilton County are 
conditionally approved, and became effective September 22, 1994.


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


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

         No reports on Form 8-K were filed by DPL Inc. during 
the quarter ended September 30, 1994.
