Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. DPL Inc. has prepared the consolidated financial statements in
this report without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in
DPL Inc.'s 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Reclassifications have
been made in certain prior years' amounts to conform to the current
reporting presentation of DPL Inc.
2. Other revenues include sales by DPL Inc.'s natural gas supply
management subsidiary. These revenues are recorded in the period when
the gas is sold.
3. DPL Inc. accounts for its investments in debt and equity
securities by classifying the securities into different categories
(held-to-maturity and available-for-sale); available-for-sale
securities are carried at fair market value and unrealized gains and
losses, net of deferred income taxes, are presented as a separate
component of shareholders' equity for those investments. Investments
classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost. The
value of equity security investments and fixed maturity investments is
based upon market quotations or investment cost to approximate market.
The cost basis for equity security and fixed maturity investments is
cost and amortized cost, respectively.

4. For the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, gross
realized gains were $2.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively.
There were no gross realized losses in either three-month period.
Gross realized gains and losses were $22.0 million and $0.8 million,
respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999; for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998, gross realized gains were
$11.0 million and there were no losses.
5. A wholly-owned captive subsidiary of DPL Inc. provides certain
property and liability insurance coverage to DPL Inc. and its other
subsidiaries and business interruption and specific risk coverage for
DPL Inc.'s principal subsidiary, The Dayton Power and Light Company
("DP&L"). Insurance and claims costs on the balance sheet represent
insurance reserves of the captive subsidiary. These reserves are
provided based on a consultant's actuarial methods and loss experience
data. Management has relied on the actuarial methods employed by the
consultant to determine the adequacy of the reserves. Such
liabilities are determined, in the aggregate, based on a reasonable
estimation of probable insured events occurring throughout each
period. There is uncertainty associated with the loss estimates, and
actual results could differ from the estimates. Modification of these
loss estimates based on experience and changed circumstances are then
reflected in the period in which the estimate is reevaluated.
6. DP&L and other Ohio utilities have undivided ownership interests
in seven electric generating facilities and numerous transmission
facilities. Certain expenses, primarily fuel costs for the generating
units, are allocated to the owners based on their energy usage. The
remaining expenses, as well as the investments in fuel inventory,
plant materials and operating supplies and capital additions, are
allocated to the owners in accordance with their respective ownership
interests.
In the opinion of management, the information included in this Form
10-Q reflects all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of
the results of operations for the periods presented. Any adjustments are
of a normal recurring nature.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
-----------------------------------------------------------
and Results of Operations.
--------------------------
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 DPL Inc.'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.
DPL Inc.'s earnings for the third quarter of 1999 were $0.36 per
share, up five cents over 1998 third quarter earnings of $0.31 per
share representing a 16% increase. Earnings were $1.08 per share to
date, up 8% from $1.00 per share in 1998.
The quarterly earnings increase is primarily attributable to the
completion of DP&L's Phase One expansion of its combustion turbine
program and a decrease in operation and maintenance expense.
The expansion provided additional peaking capacity to meet the demands
of DP&L's customers and other utility companies resulting from the
high heat and humidity experienced in July.
See Item 5, Other Information, for a discussion of government
legislation and the restructuring of Ohio utilities.
Financial Condition
- -------------------
As of September 30, 1999, DPL Inc. continued its previously
authorized stock buyback program under which 2.6 million shares, or
$46.2 million, have been acquired during 1999 and authorization
remains for an additional 3.7 million shares.
On August 30, 1999, DPL Inc. announced Phase Two of its combustion
turbine expansion program. At an investment of $80 million, DPL Inc.
has contracted to purchase four natural gas-fired combustion peaking
units. These units will provide an additional 225 MW of capacity to
be available and online by the summer of 2000. This follows DP&L's
completion, in December 1998, of its first phase of peaking capacity
expansions in which three combustion turbine units were added totaling
250 MW additional peaking capacity at an investment of $75 million.
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.
-10-
<PAGE>
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 and the
availability of external funds at reasonable cost.
At September 30, 1999, DPL Inc.'s cash and temporary cash
investment balance was $27.0 million. DPL Inc. held financial assets
valued as of September 30, 1999 at $931.1 million. Financial assets
include direct and indirect managed debt and equity securities.
DPL Inc. and its subsidiaries have $300 million available through
Revolving Credit Agreements ("Credit Agreements"). At September 30,
1999, DPL Inc. had no borrowings outstanding under these Credit
Agreements. DPL Inc. also has $15 million available in a short-term
informal line of credit. At September 30, 1999, DPL Inc. had no
borrowings outstanding from this line and $81.9 million in commercial
paper outstanding. DP&L has $75 million available in short-term
informal lines of credit. At September 30, 1999, there were no
borrowings outstanding under these informal lines and $18 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 $0.6 million for the third
quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, utility
service revenues decreased $5.3 million due to reduced electric sales
to other utilities partially offset by increased gas sales.
Fuel and purchased power increased $6.6 million and $0.9 million,
respectively, from the third quarter and year-to-date last year. For
the quarter, the increase was due to higher purchased power costs
associated with sales to other utilities.
Operation and maintenance expense decreased from last year by
$16.9 million for the third quarter and $24.4 million year-to-date.
Lower electric and gas distribution costs, software development costs,
uncollectible reserves, insurance and claims costs and benefit costs
caused the decreases.
Interest expense increased $2.7 million and $12.5 million,
respectively, from third quarter and year-to-date last year, because
of increased long-term debt balances.
Investment income increased by $15.6 million from year-to-date
last year primarily due to realized gains.
Income taxes increased $4.3 million and $5.2 million,
respectively, from third quarter and year-to-date 1998 because of
higher taxable income.

Issues and Financial Risks
- --------------------------
The utility industry relies on computer applications to monitor
and control interdependent power and utility systems. 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. The
utility industry has organized work groups to identify and solve
potential problems. DP&L has evaluated the possibility of Y2K
disruptions in the industry and has adopted proper contingency plans.
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 complete. The correction and
testing phases are substantially complete, with final modifications
and testing for a few components to be completed in the fourth quarter
of 1999. The estimated cost of this corrective action is $20 million
and includes modification and replacement of hardware and software.
Responding to new Ohio legislation regarding energy companies, DP&L
is separating into various business units. As part of this separation
process, each business unit is being evaluated on a stand-alone basis.
Those units which do not complement DP&L's going-forward strategy may
be divested. As a result of this evaluation process, DP&L is exploring
the sale of its natural gas retail business unit. At September 30,
1999, year-to-date gas revenues were $147.2 million and $61.7 million
net of gas purchased for resale. DP&L's natural gas retail distribution
has 305,000 residential, commercial and government customers and 5,000
miles of pipeline in 16 counties in West Central Ohio.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The carrying value of DPL Inc.'s debt was $1,265.2 million at
December 31, 1998, which consisted of first mortgage bonds, guaranteed
air quality development obligations, notes, commercial paper and lines
of credit. The fair value of this debt was $1,366.6 million, based on
current market prices or discounted cash flows using current rates for
similar issues with similar terms and remaining maturities. The
following table presents the principal cash repayments and related
weighted average interest rates by maturity date for long-term fixed-
rate debt at December 31, 1998.

The primary market risk to DPL Inc. is related to a short-term interest
rate risk. The carrying value and fair value of short-term debt was
$194.9 million with a weighted average interest rate of 5.6% at
December 31, 1998. The interest expense risk related to this debt was
estimated to be approximately an increase/decrease of $0.7 million if
the weighted average cost increased/decreased 10%.
DPL Inc. closed on a private placement issuance of $500 million
of Senior Notes Due 2004, with an interest rate of 6.32% in early
April. The proceeds were used to redeem DP&L's $225 million 8.4%
Series First Mortgage Bonds and for general corporate purposes
including redemption of short-term debt. The following table presents
the principal cash repayments and related weighted average interest
rates by maturity date for long-term fixed-rate debt after the
retirement of the $225 million 8.4% Series First Mortgage Bonds and
issuance of $500 million of Senior Notes Due 2004.

The fair value of available-for-sale securities was $919.0 million
and $685.5 million at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.
The equity price risk related to these securities was estimated as the
potential increase/decrease in fair value of $91.9 million and $68.6 million
at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively, that resulted
from a hypothetical 10% increase/decrease in the market prices.
As of September 30, 1999, there have been no other material changes
in the above information since the end of the preceding fiscal year.

Part II. Other Information
Item 5. Other Information.
------------------
Rate Regulation and Government Legislation
- ------------------------------------------
On July 6, 1999, Ohio Governor Taft signed an Ohio electric
industry restructuring bill which became effective on October 5, 1999.
Under the bill, beginning January 1, 2001, electric generation,
aggregation, power marketing and power brokerage services supplied to
retail customers in the State of Ohio will be deemed competitive and
will not be subject to supervision and regulation by the Public
Utilities Commission of Ohio ("PUCO"). Existing limitations on an
electric public utility's ownership rights of a non-public utility
were eliminated. All earnings obligations, restrictions or caps
imposed on an electric utility in a PUCO order are void as of the
effective date of the legislation.
Within ninety days of the effective date of the legislation, DP&L
is required to file with the PUCO a transition plan. As part of the
transition plan, companies may file for the opportunity to receive
transition revenues to be recovered through a transition charge during
the market development period which ends December 31, 2005. The
amount of transition revenues allowed will be determined by the PUCO
based on criteria set forth in the statute. Regulatory assets that
are part of the total allowable amount of transition costs will be
separately identified as part of the transition charge, and the PUCO
may set the revenue requirement for their recovery to end no later
than December 31, 2010. A shopping incentive will be factored into
the setting of the transition charge to induce 20% load switching by
customer class by December 31, 2003, or halfway through the utility's
market development period.
The legislation contains a mandatory 5% rate cut for residential
customers limited to the generation portion of their overall electric
bill. The DP&L impact is approximately $11 million. No company is
permitted to own or control transmission facilities in Ohio on or after
the start date of competition unless that entity is a member of and
turns over control of its transmission facilities to one or more
qualifying transmission entities as outlined in the statute.
The PUCO is required to issue a final order not later than 275
days after the plan is filed, or in no event later than October 31,
2000. DP&L is unable to predict the outcome of the regulatory process
which could have an impact on DPL Inc.'s future results of operations.
Until the outcome is known, DP&L will continue to account for its
generation business according to Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 71, Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of
Regulation.

Environmental Considerations
- ----------------------------
In early November, the United States Environmental Protection Agency
("EPA") filed civil complaints and Notices of Violations ("NOVs") against
operators and owners of certain generation facilities for alleged
violations of the Clean Air Act. Generation units operated by partners
Cincinnati Gas & Electric (Beckjord 6) and Columbus Southern Power
(Conesville 4) and co-owned by DP&L were referenced in these actions.
DP&L was not identified in the NOVs or civil complaints. The partners
will vigorously challenge the NOVs and complaints in court. At this
time, it is not possible to determine the outcome of these claims or the
impact, if any, on DP&L.
