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

     DPL Inc.'s earnings for the first quarter of 1999 were $0.47 per
share, up 2% from the $0.46 per share earned in the first quarter a
year ago.  In the quarter, winter temperatures were colder than last
year, but still warmer than normal.  The service territory remains
strong with a 2% increase in retail electric sales from the first
quarter of 1998.  Increased revenues from these higher sales coupled
with income from investments contributed to the improved financial
performance.  DP&L advanced some maintenance expenditures into the
first quarter to prepare for the peak summer months.

     The financial condition and results of operations for the first
quarter ended March 31, 1999 are 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.

     On April 6, 1999, DPL Inc. completed a private placement issuance
of $500 million of Senior Notes due 2004, with an interest rate of
6.32%.  The proceeds were used for the redemption of DP&L's
$225 million 8.40% Series of First Mortgage Bonds, the reduction of
short-term debt and for general corporate purposes.

     At March 31, 1999, DPL Inc.'s cash and temporary cash investment
balance was $13.3 million.  In addition, $772.8 million was invested
in financial assets.

     DPL Inc. and its subsidiaries have $300 million available through
Revolving Credit Agreements ("Credit Agreements").  At March 31, 1999,
DPL Inc. had $30 million outstanding under these Credit Agreements.
DPL Inc. also has $15 million available in a short-term informal line
of credit.  At March 31, 1999, DPL  Inc. had $15 million in borrowings
outstanding from this line.  DP&L also has $97 million available in
short-term informal lines of credit.  At March 31, 1999, DP&L had
$71.9 million of these informal lines outstanding and $123.5 million
in commercial paper outstanding.

     DP&L currently 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
1999-2003.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
     Utility service revenues increased by $10.1 million from the
first quarter last year.  Higher retail gas sales due to colder
weather were the primary cause of this increase.

     Gas purchased for resale increased $2.3 million over first
quarter 1998 as a result of the higher utility gas sales.

     Operation and maintenance expense increased $4.5 million from the
first quarter last year.  Higher production maintenance, line
clearance and insurance and claims costs were partially offset by
reduced compensation and benefit expense.

     Interest expense increased from last year by $4.5 million,
because of higher short-term debt balances.

     Other income increased by $13.2 million over the same period in
1998 as a result of higher investment income.

     Income taxes increased $3.2 million from the corresponding
quarter last year with the higher pre-tax income.

Issues and Financial Risks
- --------------------------
     This report contains certain forward-looking statements regarding
plans and expectations for the future.  Investors are cautioned that
actual outcomes and results may vary materially from those projected
due to various factors beyond DP&L's control, including abnormal
weather, unusual maintenance or repair requirements, changes in fuel
costs, increased competition, regulatory changes and decisions,
changes in accounting rules and adverse economic conditions.

     Some computer applications may not properly recognize dates
beginning with the year 2000.  This "Y2K" issue, if not corrected,
could cause disruptions in information technology systems and
operating control systems.

     DP&L has implemented a plan to identify and correct Y2K issues in
its computer applications and operations.  This plan includes (1)
evaluation of applications and systems, (2) assessment of Y2K errors,
(3) correction of errors and (4) testing of applications and systems.
The evaluation and assessment phases are substantially complete.  The
correction and testing phases, approximately 70% complete, continue on
schedule and are expected to be completed in the third quarter of 1999.
The estimated cost of this corrective action is $20 million, and includes
modification and replacement of hardware and software.

     The electric industry relies on computer applications to monitor
and control interdependent power systems.  These systems are also
susceptible to Y2K problems.  The utility industry has organized work
groups to identify and solve potential problems. DP&L is evaluating
the possibility of Y2K disruptions in the industry and is adopting
proper contingency plans.

                      Part II.  Other Information

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
- ------------------------------------------------------------

     At DPL Inc.'s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 20, 1999,
three directors of DPL Inc. were elected, each of whom will serve a three-
year term expiring in 2002.  The nominees were elected as follows:  James F.
Dicke II, 144,770,668 shares FOR, 1,644,547 shares WITHHELD; Peter H.
Forster, 144,596,997 shares FOR, 1,818,218 shares WITHHELD; and Jane G.
Haley, 144,653,493 shares FOR, 1,761,722 shares WITHHELD.


Item 5. Other Information.
- -------------------------

Rate Regulation and Government Legislation
- ------------------------------------------
     On March 4, 1999, the PUCO initiated an inquiry into the adequacy
of electricity generation and transmission facilities of Ohio's
investor-owned electric utility companies to avoid a recurrence of the
power supply shortages that occurred in the summer of 1998.  DP&L has
responded to various data requests from the PUCO concerning their inquiry.

     On March 26, 1998, a twelve member Joint Committee of the Ohio
Senate and House of Representatives, created to explore and possibly
draft retail wheeling legislation, introduced an electric deregulation
Bill which expired at year end.  On September 16, 1998, DP&L and the
three other major investor-owned utilities in Ohio presented a
comprehensive electric utility restructuring Bill to a working group
of the Committee.  In March 1999, a group of legislators released to
the public a draft outline for restructuring.  On March 25, 1999,
those legislators introduced companion electric restructuring Bills in
the Ohio House and Senate.  DP&L is participating in hearings that are
being held on the companion Bills at the Legislature.


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 March 31, 1999.
