1.Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

DPL is a diversified regional energy company organized in 1985 under the laws of Ohio.  DPL’s principal subsidiary is The Dayton Power and Light Company (DP&L, the Company, we, our, or ours unless the context indicates otherwise) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of DPL Inc. (DPL)&L)We areDP&L is a public utility incorporated in 1911 under the laws of Ohio and we conduct our principal business in one business segment – Electric utility.  We sellOhio.  DP&L sells electricity to residential, commercial, industrial and governmental customers in a 6,000 square mile area of West Central Ohio.  Electricity for our 24-countyDP&L’s 24 county service area is primarily generated at eight coal-fired power plants and is distributed to more than 500,000 retail customers.  WeDP&L also purchasepurchases retail peak load requirements from DPL Energy LLC (DPLE), a(DPLE, one of our wholly-owned subsidiary of DPL Inc.subsidiaries).  Principal industries served include automotive, food processing, paper, plastic manufacturing, and defense.  OurDP&L’s sales reflect the general economic conditions and seasonal weather patterns of the area.  We sellDP&L sells any excess energy and capacity into the wholesale market.

DPL’s other significant subsidiaries (all of which are wholly-owned) include DPLE, which engages in the operation of peaking generating facilities; DPL Energy Resources, Inc. (DPLER), which sells retail electric energy under contract to major industrial and commercial customers in West Central Ohio; MVE, Inc., which was primarily responsible for the management of our financial asset portfolio; and Miami Valley Insurance Company (MVIC), our captive insurance company that provides insurance sources to us and our subsidiaries.   DP&L has one significant subsidiary, DPL Finance Company, Inc., which is wholly-owned and provides financing to DPL, DP&L and other affiliated companies.

DPL and DP&L conduct their principal business in one business segment - Electric.

Financial Statement Presentation

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally acceptedGenerally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States of America (GAAP).America.  The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DPL and DP&L and ourtheir majority-owned subsidiaries.  Investments that are not majority owned are accounted for using the equity method when our investment allows us the ability to exert significant influence, as defined by GAAP.  Undivided interests in jointly-owned generation facilities are consolidated on a pro rata basis.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.  Interim results for the threequarter and six months ended June 30, 20062007 may not be indicative of our results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2006.2007.

Pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from interim reports. Therefore, these financial statements should be read along with the annual financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.2006.  In the opinion of our management, the condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which are all of a normal recurring nature) necessary to fairly state our financial condition as of June 30, 2006,2007, our results of operations for the threequarter and six months ended June 30, 2006,2007, and our cash flows for the threesix months ended June 30, 20062007 in accordance with GAAP.

Estimates, Judgments and Reclassifications

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the revenue and expenses of the period reported.  Different estimates could have a material effect on our financial results.  Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of these policies and estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or circumstances.  Significant items subject to such estimates and judgments include the carrying value of property, plant and equipment; unbilled revenues; the valuation of derivative instruments; the valuation of insurance and claims costs; valuation allowances for receivables and deferred income taxes; regulatory assets and liabilities; reserves recorded for income tax exposures; litigation; regulatory proceeding and orders; and assets and liabilities related to employee benefits.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.  Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current reporting presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards


Stock-Based CompensationDepreciation Expense

In December 2004,Depreciation expense is calculated using the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R).  SFAS 123R replaces SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 (Opinion 25), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”  SFAS 123R requires a public entity to measurestraight-line method, which depreciates the cost of employee services receivedproperty over its estimated useful life.  For DPL’s and paid with equity instrumentsDP&L’s generation, transmission, and distribution assets, straight-line depreciation is applied on an average annual composite basis using group rates.  With the addition of scrubbers at certain of its generation facilities, DP&L has undertaken an evaluation of its depreciation rates which it expects to be based oncompleted during the fair-valuethird quarter of such equity on2007.  Management expects depreciation rates to decrease due to the grant date.  This cost is recognized in resultsextension of operations over the period in which employees are requireddepreciation lives for certain of its assets. The Public Utility Commission of Ohio would need to provide service.  Liabilities initially incurred are based on the fair-value of equity instruments and are to be re-measured at each subsequent reporting date until the liability is ultimately settled.  The fair-value for employee share options and other similar instruments at the grant date are estimated using option-pricing models and any excess tax benefits are recognized as an addition to paid-in capital.  Cash retained from the excess tax benefits is presented in the statement of cash flows as financing cash inflows.  The provisions of this Statement became effective as of January 1, 2006.  Our June 30, 2006 year-to-date pre-tax results of operations were increased by


approximately $0.4 million as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R, which we apply to stock-based transactions related to DPL Inc. common stock.  See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections

In June 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154 (SFAS 154), “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.”  This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and FASB Statement No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting ofapprove a change in accounting principle.  This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle.  It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions.  When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed.  This Statement is effectivedepreciation rates for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.  The adoption of this new accounting standard had no impact on the Company.our regulated assets.

In July 2006, the FASB issuedOn January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  FIN 48 requires a two-step approach to determine how to recognize tax benefits in the financial statements where recognition and measurement of a tax benefit must be evaluated separately.  A tax benefit will be recognized only if it meets a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold.  For tax positions that meet this threshold, the tax benefit recognized is based on the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority.  We are currently evaluating the.  There was no significant impact of adopting FIN 48, and have not yet determined the significance of this new rule to our overall results of operations, cash flows or financial position.  The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption was $36.8 million and we have recorded $3.5 million (net of tax) of accrued interest.  During the second quarter ending June 30, 2007, we recorded an additional $0.9 million in accrued interest resulting in a total reserve for uncertain tax positions of $41.2 million as of June 30, 2007.  None of the amount of unrecognized tax benefits is due to uncertainty in the timing of deductibility.

We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income taxes.

Taxes for calendar years 2004 – 2006 remain open to examination by the jurisdictions in which we are subject to taxation.

Accounting for Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities

In January 2007, we adopted Emerging Issues Task Force No. 6-03 “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement” (EITF No. 6-03).  EITF No. 6-03 requires a registrant to disclose how taxes collected from customers are presented in the financial statements, i.e. gross or net.  DP&L collects certain excise taxes levied by state or local governments from its customers. DP&L’s excise taxes are accounted for on a gross basis and recorded as revenues in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 as follows:

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Accounting for Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (SFAS 157) effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value.  SFAS 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.  In support of this principle, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those standards.  The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, for example, the reporting entity’s own data.  Under SFAS 157, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy.  SFAS 157 does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances.  In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS 159) effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain warranty and insurance contracts at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis.  We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 and SFAS 159, and have not yet determined the significance of these new rules to our overall results of operations, financial position or cash flows.


2.     Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is based on the weighted-average number of DPL common shares outstanding during the year.  Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of DPL common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the year, except in periods where the inclusion of such common equivalent shares is anti-dilutive.  Excluded from outstanding shares for this weighted-average computation are the unallocated shares held by DP&L’s Master Trust Plan for deferred compensation and unallocated shares held by DP&L’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).

As a result of the May 21, 2007 settlement of the litigation with three former executives (see Note 10 of  Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), the three former executives relinquished all of their rights to certain deferred compensation, restricted stock units (RSUs), MVE incentives, stock options and reimbursement of legal fees.  There were approximately 1.3 million RSUs and 3.6 million stock options relinquished and cancelled that were included in the dilutive share calculation through May 20, 2007.  These RSUs and stock options will no longer be included in the dilutive share calculation.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, there were no dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share while for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, there were 0.4 million stock options excluded from the calculation because they were anti-dilutive.  For the six months ended June 30, 2007, there were 25 thousand restricted and performance shares excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.  For the six months ended June 30, 2006, there were 0.4 million stock options excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

The following illustrates the reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for income after discontinued operations:

On February 13, 2005, DPL’s subsidiaries, MVE and MVIC, entered into an agreement to sell their respective interests in forty-six private equity funds to AlpInvest/Lexington 2005, LLC, a joint venture of AlpInvest Partners and Lexington Partners, Inc.  Sales proceeds and any related gains or losses were recognized during 2005 as the sale of each of these funds closed.

During 2005, MVE entered into alternative closing arrangements with AlpInvest/Lexington 2005, LLC for the remaining funds where legal title to said funds could not be transferred until a later time.  Pursuant to these arrangements, MVE transferred the economic aspects of the remaining private equity funds, consisting of two funds and a portion of one fund, to AlpInvest/Lexington 2005, LLC without a change in ownership of the interests.  The alternative arrangements resulted in a 2005 deferred gain of $27.1 million in 2005 and $18.9 million in 2006. The remaining portion of the gain, $8.2 million, was recognized in the first quarter of 2007 as all legal and economic considerations relating to the alternative closing arrangements were satisfied.

As a result of the May 21, 2007 settlement of the litigation with three former executives (see Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), the three former executives relinquished all of their rights to certain deferred compensation, RSUs, MVE incentives, stock options and reimbursement of legal fees.  The reversal of accruals related to the performance of the financial asset portfolio were recorded in discontinued operations.  Additionally, a portion of the $25 million settlement expense was allocated to discontinued operations.  These transactions resulted in a net gain of $8.2 million on the settlement of litigation, being recorded in discontinued operations.

4.6.     Pension and Postretirement Benefits

We sponsor a defined benefit plan for substantially all full-time employees.  For collective bargaining employees, the defined benefits are based on a specific dollar amount per year of service.  For all other employees, the defined benefit plan is based primarily on compensation and years of service. We fund pension plan benefits as accrued in accordance with the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).  In addition, we have a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) for certain active and retired key executives.  Benefits under this SERP have been frozen and no additional benefits can be earned.  Wealso have unfunded liabilities related to retirement benefits for certain active, terminated and retired key executives (not related to the litigation settlement with three former executives) that include The DPL Inc. Supplemental Executive Defined Contribution Retirement Plan (SEDCRP).  These liabilities totaled approximately $0.8 million at June 30, 2007.

Qualified employees who retired prior to 1987 and their dependents are eligible for health care and life insurance benefits.  We have funded the union-eligible health benefit using a Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association Trust.

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 123 Revised (SFAS 123R) on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective approach for stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs).  As a result of our adoptionthe May 21, 2007 settlement of SFAS 123R, we recognized $0.4the litigation with three former executives (see Note 10 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), the three former executives relinquished all of their rights to certain deferred compensation, restricted stock units (RSUs), MVE incentives, stock options and reimbursement of legal fees.  A portion of this settlement included the forfeitures and cancellations of RSUs and stock options of 1.3 million lessand 3.6 million, respectively.

Share-based awards issued in DPL’s common stock will be distributed from treasury stock.  DPL believes it has sufficient treasury stock to satisfy all outstanding share-based awards.

Determining Fair Value

Valuation and Amortization Method. We estimate the fair value of stock options and RSUs using a Black-Scholes-Merton model; performance shares are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation; restricted shares are valued at the market price on the day of grant and the Directors’ RSUs are valued at the market price on the day prior to the grant date.  We amortize the fair value of all awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which are generally the vesting periods.

Expected Volatility. The Company’s expected volatility assumptions are based on the historical volatility of DPL’s stock. The volatility range captures the high and low volatility values for each award granted based on its specific terms.

Expected Life. The expected life assumption represents the estimated period of time from grant until exercise and reflects historical employee exercise patterns.

Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the award is based on the corresponding yield curve in effect at the time of the valuation for U.S. Treasury bonds having the same term as the expected life of the award, i.e., a five year bond rate is used for valuing an award with a five year expected life.

Expected Dividend Yield. The expected dividend yield is based on DPL’s current dividend rate, adjusted as necessary to capture anticipated dividend changes and the 12 month average DPL Inc. stock price.

Expected Forfeitures. The forfeiture rate used to calculate compensation expense foris based on the six months ended June 30, 2006,Company’s historical experience, adjusted as comparednecessary to what we would have recognized under SFAS 123.reflect special circumstances.


Stock Options

In 2000, ourDPL’s Board of Directors adopted, and ourDPL’s shareholders approved, The DPL Inc. Stock Option Plan.  The plan provides that “no single Participant shall receive Options with respect to more than 2,500,000 shares.”  Options granted in 2000, 2001 and 2002 were fully vested as of December 31, 2005 and expire ten years from the grant date.  In 2003, 100,000 options were granted which vested equitably over five years and expire ten years from the grant date.  In 2004, 200,000 options were granted that vest over nineteen months and expire approximately 6.5 years from the grant date; 100,000 of these options vested in May of 2005 and the remaining 100,000 vested in May 2006.  Another 20,000 options were granted in 2004 that vested in five months and expire ten years from the grant date.  In December 2004, 30,000 options were granted that vest equitably over three years and expire ten years from the grant date.  In 2005, 350,000 options were granted that vested in June 2006 and expire three years from the grant date.  At December 31, 2005, there were 1,488,500 options available for grant.  On April 26, 2006, DPLDPL’s shareholders approved the The DPL Inc. 2006 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (EPIP).  With the approval of the EPIP, no furthernew awards will be madegranted under the The DPL Inc. Stock Option Plan.Plan, but shares relating to awards that are forfeited or terminated under The DPL Inc. Stock Option Plan may be granted under the EPIP.  There are currently 10,000 unvested stock options outstanding under The DPL Inc. Stock Option Plan that will vest as of December 21, 2007.

No options were granted under the Plan.  We expect to recognize $0.1 million of this cost over the remainder ofduring 2006 and $0.1 million in 2007.

In addition, Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

RSUs were granted to certain key employees prior to 2001.  As a result of the settlement of the former executive litigation, all disputed RSUs were forfeited by the three former executives.  There were 1.4 million49,998 RSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2006,2007, of which 1.3 million wereall have not vested. Substantially all of the vested RSUs are in dispute as part of our ongoing litigation with Peter H. Forster, formerly DPL’s Chairman; Caroline E. Muhlenkamp, formerly DPL’s Group Vice President and interim Chief Financial Officer; and Stephen F. Koziar, formerly DPL’s Chief Executive Officer and President.  The remaining 0.1 million non-vested RSUs will be paid in cash upon vesting and will vest as follows:  24,89120,097 in 2006; 21,978 inthe second half of 2007; 15,90414,688 in 2008; 11,19910,205 in 2009; and 5,5605,008 in 2010.  Vested RSUs are marked to market each quarter and any adjustment to compensation expense is recognized at that time.  Non-vested RSUs are valued quarterly at fair value using the Black-ScholesBlack-Scholes-Merton model to determine the amount of compensation expense to be recognized.  Non-vested RSUs do not earn dividends.

Compensation expense is recognized each quarter based on the change in the market price of DPL common shares.

As of June 30, 2007 and 2006, liabilities recorded for outstanding RSUs were $1.4 million and $35.7 million, respectively, which are included in “Other deferred credits” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The decrease in the liability is due to the executive litigation settlement and the forfeiture of 1.3 million RSUs (see Note 10 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

At the 2006 Annual Shareholder’s Meeting, the shareholders approved the DPL Inc. 2006 Equity Performance Incentive Plan (EPIP).  Under the EPIP, the Board adopted a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) under which DPL will award a targeted number of performance shares of common stock to executives.  Awards under the LTIP will be awarded based on a Total Shareholder Return Relative to Peers parameter.performance.  No performance shares will be earned in a performance period if the three yearthree-year Total Shareholder Return Relative to Peers is below the threshold of the 40th40th percentile.  Further, the LTIP awards will be capped at 200% of the target number of performance shares, if the Total Shareholder Return Relative to Peers is at or above the threshold of the 90th percentile.  The Total Shareholder Return Relative to Peers is considered a performancemarket condition under FAS123R.  TheFAS 123R.  There is a three year requisite service period for each tranche of the Performance Shares is:

The following table reflects information about performance shares.

As of June 30, 2006, there was $3.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested performance shares granted undershare activity during the LTIP.  We expect to recognize $2.1 million of this cost over the remainder of 2006 and $1.8 million in 2007 and 2008.  A forfeiture rate of 20% was estimated in calculating the compensation expense.period:

Operating income was $0.4 million higher under SFAS 123R than under SFAS 123.  The impact on net income was $0.3 million due to a decrease in the tax benefit of $0.1 million.  There was no impact on basic or diluted earnings per share.

Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Units

Under the EPIP, as part of their annual compensation for service to DPL and DP&L, each non-employee Director received a $54,000 retainer in restricted stock units (RSUs) on the date of the annual meeting.  The RSUs will become non-forfeitable on April 15 of the following year but, if the Director resigns, dies or retires prior to the April 15 vesting date, the vested shares will be distributed on a pro rata basis.  The RSUs accrue quarterly dividends in the form of additional RSUs.  Upon vesting, the RSUs will become exercisable and will be distributed in DPL common shares, unless the Director chooses to defer receipt of the shares until a later date.  The RSUs are valued at the closing stock price on the day prior to the grant and the compensation expense is recognized evenly over the vesting period.

Long-term debt:

DPL’s long-term debt as of June 30, 2007 consists of DP&L’s first mortgage bonds and tax-exempt pollution control bonds, DPL unsecured notes and includes current maturities and unamortized debt discounts.

DP&L’s long-term debt as of June 30, 2007 consists of first mortgage bonds, tax-exempt pollution control bonds and includes an unamortized debt discount.

See Note 8 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest payments:

Interest payments associated with the long-term debt described above.

Pension and postretirement payments:

As of June 30, 2007, DP&L had estimated future benefit payments as outlined in Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  These estimated future benefit payments are projected through 2016.

Capital leases:

As of June 30, 2007, DP&L had two capital leases that expire in November 2007 and September 2010.

Operating leases:

As of June 30, 2007, DPL and DP&L had several operating leases with various terms and expiration dates.  Not included in this total is approximately $88,000 per year related to right-of-way agreements that are assumed to have no definite expiration dates.

Coal contracts:

DP&L has entered into various long-term coal contracts to supply portions of its coal requirements for its generating plants.  Contract prices are subject to periodic adjustment and have features that limit price escalation in any given year.


Limestone contracts:

DP&L has entered into a limestone contract to supply limestone for its generating facilities.

Reserve for uncertain tax positions:

On January 1, 2007, we adopted Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48).  There was no significant impact to our overall results of operations, cash flows or financial position.  The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption was $36.8 million and we have recorded $3.5 million (net of tax) of accrued interest.  During the second quarter ending June 30, 2007, we recorded an additional $0.9 million in accrued interest resulting in a total reserve for uncertain tax positions of $41.2 million as of June 30, 2007.  None of the amount of unrecognized tax benefits is due to uncertainty in the timing of deductibility.

Other contractual obligations:

As of June 30, 2007, DPL and DP&L had various other contractual obligations including non-cancelable contracts to purchase goods and services with various terms and expiration dates.

We enter into various commercial commitments, which may affect the liquidity of our operations.  At June 30, 2007, these include:

Credit facilities:

In November 2006, DP&L replaced its previous $100 million revolving credit agreement with a $220 million five-year facility that expires on November 21, 2011.  DP&L has the ability to increase the size of the facility by an additional $50 million at any time.  At June 30, 2007, there were no outstanding borrowings under this facility.

Guarantees:

DP&L owns a 4.9% equity ownership interest in an electric generation company.  As of June 30, 2007, DP&L could be responsible for the repayment of 4.9%, or $21.8 million, of a $445 million debt obligation that matures in 2026.

In two separate transactions in November and December 2006, DPL agreed to be a guarantor of the obligations of its wholly-owned subsidiary, DPL Energy, LLC (DPLE) regarding the sale of the Darby Electric Peaking Station to American Electric Power and the sale of the Greenville Electric Peaking Station to Buckeye Electric Power, Inc.  In both cases, DPL has agreed to guarantee the obligations of DPLE over a multiple year period as follows:

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, we are subject to various lawsuits, actions, proceedings, claims and other matters asserted under laws and regulations.  We believe the amounts provided in our consolidated financial statements,Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as prescribed by GAAP, are adequate in light of the probable and estimable contingencies.  (See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)  However, there can be no assurances that the actual amounts required to satisfy alleged liabilities from various legal proceedings, regulatory proceedings and orders, claims, tax examinations and other matters discussed below, and to comply with applicable laws and regulations, will not exceed the amounts reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  As such, costs, if any, that may be incurred in excess of those amounts provided as of June 30, 2007, cannot be reasonably determined.

Employees

Approximately 53% of our employees are under a collective bargaining agreement.

Environmental Matters

Our

DPL, DP&L and our subsidiaries’ facilities and operations are subject to a wide range of environmental regulations and law.  In the normal course of business, we have investigatory and remedial activities underway at these facilities to comply, or to determine compliance, with such regulations.  We have been identified, either by a government agency or by a private party seeking contribution to site clean-up costs, as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at two sites pursuant to state


and federal laws.  We record liabilities for probable estimated loss in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 (SFAS 5), “Accounting for Contingencies.”  To the extent a probable loss can only be estimated by reference to a range of equally probable outcomes, and no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue for the low end of the range.  Because of uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based on the best information available at the time.  We evaluate the potential liability related to probable losses quarterly and may revise our estimates.  Such revisions in the estimates of the potential liabilities could have a material effect on our results of operations and financial position.

Legal Matters

In September 2004, the normal courseSierra Club filed a lawsuit against DP&L and the other owners of business, wethe Stuart Generating Station in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio for alleged violations of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Station’s operating permit.  DP&L, on behalf of all co-owners, is leading the defense of this matter.  A sizable amount of discovery has taken place, the first set of expert reports have been namedfiled with additional reports scheduled to be filed in September 2007.  Dispositive motions are to be filed in January 2008.  No trial date has been set yet.

In February 2007, Ohio’s Regional Air Pollution Control Agency (RAPCA), issued a defendantNotice of Violation (NOV) to DP&L with respect to an allegedly failed performance test of one boiler in various legal actions, including arbitrations, class actionsNovember 2006 for particulate matter at DP&L’s Hutchings Generating Station.  On June 29, 2007, the federal Environmental Protection Agency Region V, issued an NOV to DP&L with respect to the same performance test and other litigation. Certain ofwith respect to earlier tests for particulates conducted in 1996 and 1998 for a different boiler at the legal actions include claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. We are also involved in other reviews, investigationssame station.  Representatives from DP&L met with officials from EPA Region V and proceedings by governmentalRAPCA on July 24, 2007 to discuss the referenced performance tests, subsequent performance tests, and self-regulatory organizations regarding our business. Certain ofpast and planned operations at the foregoing could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief.

Because litigationstation.  DP&L is inherently unpredictable, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings are in the early stages, we cannotunable to predict with certainty the loss or range of loss related to such matters, how such matters will be resolved, when they will be ultimately resolved, or what the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief might be. Consequently, we cannot estimate losses or ranges of losses for matters where there is only a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. Although the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be ascertained at this time it iswhat further actions, if any, will be taken by the opinionUS EPA or RAPCA with respect to these NOVs.

10. Executive Litigation

On May 21, 2007, we settled the litigation with the three former executives.  As part of management, thatthis settlement, the resolution of the foregoing matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, taken as a whole; such resolution may, however, have a material effect on the operating results in any future period, depending on the level of income for such period.

We have provided reserves for such matters in accordance with SFAS 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” The ultimate resolution may differ from the amounts reserved.

Certain legal proceedings in which we are involved are discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements and, Part I, Item 3, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005; and Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements and Part II, Item 1, included in our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2006. The following discussion is limited to recent developments concerning our legal proceedings and should be read in conjunction with those earlier reports.

Regarding our litigation with three former executives relinquished and dismissed all their claims including those related to certain deferred compensation, RSUs, MVE incentives, stock options and legal fees. The RSUs and stock options relinquished and forfeited were 1.3 million and 3.6 million, respectively.  Prior to the settlement date, DPL had accrued obligations of approximately $64.2 million of which DP&L had accrued obligations of approximately $60.3 million.  Included in these amounts is approximately $3.1 million associated with the forfeiture of stock options.  In exchange for our payment of $25 million, all of these claims were settled.

As a result of this settlement, DPL realized a net pre-tax gain in continuing and discontinued operations of approximately $31.0 million and $8.2 million, respectively.  The net gain is comprised of the Company,reversal of the $64.2 million of accrued obligations less the $25 million settlement.  The obligations related to the discontinued operations were associated with the management of DPL’s financial asset portfolio, which was conducted in our MVE subsidiary.  The MVE operations were discontinued in 2005 with the sale of the financial asset portfolio.  The $25 million settlement expense was allocated between continuing and discontinued operations based on July 24, 2006

As a new trial date commencingresult of this settlement, DP&L realized a net pre-tax gain in continuing operations of approximately $35.3 million.  Accrued obligations associated with the former executives’ litigation were recorded by DP&L since the obligations were associated with our non-qualified benefit plans. DP&L had no ownership of DPL’s discontinued financial asset portfolio business, therefore these liabilities were reversed and DP&L’s net pre-tax gain was recorded within continuing operations. The following table outlines the components of DP&L’s net gain:

The $25 million settlement was funded from the sale of financial assets held in DP&L’s Master Trust Plan for deferred compensation.  As part of this transaction, DPL and DP&L recorded a $3.2 million realized gain which is reflected in investment income.

11.  Insurance Recovery Claim

On April 30, 2007.

On June 24, 2004, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) began an audit of tax years 1998 through 2003 and issued2007, DP&L executed a series of data requests to us including issues raised in the Memorandum.  The staff of the IRS requested that we provide certain documents, including but not limited to, matters concerning executive/director deferred compensation plans, management stock incentive plans and MVE financial statements.  On September 1, 2005, the IRS issued an audit report for tax years 1998 through 2003 that showed proposed changes to our federal income tax liability for each of those years.  The proposed changes resulted in a total tax deficiency, penalties and interest of approximately $23.9 million as of December 31, 2005.  On November 4, 2005, we filed a written protest to one of the proposed changes.  On April 3, 2006, the IRS conceded the proposed changes that we filed a written protest to and issued a revised audit report for tax years 1998 through 2003.  The revised audit report resulted in a total tax deficiency, penalties and interest of approximately $1.2 million.  We had previously made a deposit with the IRS of approximately $1.3 million that we requested on April 14, 2006 be applied to offset the $1.2 million tax deficiency, penalties and interest for tax years 1998 through 2003.  The Joint Committee on Taxation completed its review of the revised audit report for tax years 1998 through 2003 and sent us a letter dated June 16, 2006 stating that it took no exception to the revised audit report.

In November 2005, AMP-Ohio, a wholesale supplier of electricity to its thirteen member municipalities, requested arbitration of its power supplysettlement agreement with DP&L.  AMP-Ohio alleged it had a right to receive certain capacity credits.  DP&L disagreed with this position and agreed to arbitrate the dispute.  The arbitration was concluded in May 2006, thus ending any potential negative exposure to our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

On January 13, 2006, we filed a claim against one of our insurers, AEGIS,Associated Electric & Gas Insurance Services (AEGIS), under a fiduciary liability policy to recoup a portion of legal fees associated with our litigation against the three former executives for $14.5 million.  This was recorded as a reduction to operation and maintenance expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

On May 16, 2007, DPL and DP&L notified one of our insurers, Energy Insurance Mutual Limited, under an umbrella fiduciary liability policy, of our intent to pursue a claim for legal fees that DPL and DP&L incurred in defending claims made by the three former executives.  An arbitration

Long-term debt:Deferred recoverable income taxes

Long-term debt represent deferred income tax assets recognized from the normalization of flow-through items as the result of June 30, 2006, consistsamounts previously provided to customers.  Since currently existing temporary differences between the financial statements and the related tax basis of our first mortgage bonds and tax-exempt pollution control bonds and includes an unamortized debt discount.  (See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Interest payments:

Interest payments associated with the long-term debt described above.assets will reverse in subsequent periods, deferred recoverable income taxes are amortized.

Pension and postretirement payments:benefits represent the unfunded benefit obligation related to the transmission and distribution areas of our electric business.  We have historically recorded these costs on the accrual basis and this is how these costs have been historically recovered through rates.  This factor, combined with the historical precedents from the PUCO and the FERC, makes future rate recovery of these costs probable.

Electric Choice systems costs represent costs incurred to modify the customer billing system for unbundled rates and electric choice bills relative to other generation suppliers and information reports provided to the state administrator of the low-income electric program.  In February 2005, the PUCO approved a stipulation allowing us to recover certain costs incurred for modifications to its billing system from all customers in its service territory.  We filed a subsequent case to implement the PUCO’s order to begin charging customers for billing costs.  On March 1, 2006, the PUCO issued an order that approved our tariff as filed.  We began collecting this rider immediately, and expect to recover all costs over five years.

Regional transmission organization costs represent costs incurred to join a Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) that controls the receipts and delivery of bulk power within the service area.  These costs are being amortized over a 10-year period that commenced in October 2004.

Deferred storm costs include costs incurred by us to repair damage from December 2004 and January 2005 ice storms.  On July 12, 2006, the PUCO approved our tariff as proposed and we began recovering these deferred costs over a two-year period beginning August 1, 2006.

34




PJM administrative costs contain the administrative fees billed to us by PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (PJM) as a member of PJM.  Pursuant to a PUCO order issued on January 25, 2006, these deferred costs will be recovered over a 3-year period from retail ratepayers beginning February 2006.

Power plant emission fees represent costs paid to the State of Ohio for environmental monitoring that are or will be recovered over various periods under a PUCO rate rider from customers.

Retail settlement system costs represent costs to implement a retail settlement system that reconciles the amount of energy a competitive retail electric service (CRES) supplier delivers to its customers and what its customers actually use.  Based on case precedent in other utilities’ cases, the cost of this system is recoverable through our next transmission rate case that will be filed at the FERC.  The timing of this case is uncertain at this time.

PJM integration costs include infrastructure costs and other related expenses incurred by PJM and reimbursed by DP&L to integrate us into the RTO.  Pursuant to a FERC order, the costs are being recovered over a 10-year period beginning May 2005 from wholesale customers within PJM.

Rate case expenses represent costs incurred in connection with the Rate Stabilization Surcharge that was approved by the PUCO and implemented in January 2006.  These costs are being amortized over a five-year period.

Other costs include consumer education advertising regarding electric deregulation and costs pertaining to a recent rate case and are or will be recovered over various periods.

Regulatory Liabilities

Asset retirement obligations - regulated property reflect an estimate of amounts recovered in rates that are expected to be expended to remove existing transmission and distribution property from service upon retirement.

Postretirement benefits reflect a regulatory liability that was recorded for the portion of the unrealized gain on our postretirement trust assets related to the transmission and distribution areas of our electric business.  We have historically recorded these transactions on the accrual basis and this is how these costs have historically been recovered through rates.  This factor, combined with the historical precedents from the PUCO and the FERC, make it probable that these amounts will be reflected in future rates.

SECA (Seams Elimination Charge Adjustment) net revenue subject to refund represents the deferral of net SECA revenue accrued in 2005 and 2006.  SECA revenue and expenses represent FERC-ordered transitional payments to replace the through-and-out transmission rates that were eliminated within the PJM/MISO region.  A hearing was held in early 2006 to determine the amount of these transitional payments.  As of June 30, 2006, we had estimated future benefit2007, no ruling has been issued.  We received and paid these transitional payments from May 2005 through March 2006.

13.         Ownership of Facilities

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 outlinedwell as investments in Note 4 of Notesfuel inventory, plant materials and operating supplies, and capital additions, are allocated to Consolidated Financial Statements.  These estimated future benefit payments are projected through 2016.

Capital leases:

the owners in accordance with their respective ownership interests.  As of June 30, 2006, we2007, DP&L had two capital leases that expire$425.0 million of construction in November 2007 and September 2010.

Operating leases:

As of June 30, 2006, we had several operating leases with various terms and expiration dates.  Not included in this total is approximately $88 thousand per year related to right-of-way agreements that are assumed to have no definite expiration dates.

Fuel and limestone contracts:

We have entered into various long-term coal contracts to supply portions of our coal requirements for our generating plants and a long-term contract to supply limestone for the operation of our flue gas desulfurization units (FGDs).  Coal contract prices are subject to periodic adjustment, and have features that limit price escalation in any given year.

A new long-term barge agreement was executed for five years beginning September 2006.

Other long-term obligations:

As of June 30, 2006, we had various other contractual obligations including non-cancelable contracts to purchase goods and services with various terms and expiration dates.progress at such facilities.


We enter into various commercial commitments, which may affect the liquidity of our operations.  At June 30, 2006, these include:

Credit facilities:DP&L’s

We have a $100 million, 364-day unsecured credit facility that is renewable annually and expires on May 30, 2010.  At June 30, 2006, there were no borrowings outstanding under this credit agreement.  The new facility may be increased up to $150 million.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

This report includes the combined filing of DPL Inc. (DPL) and The Dayton Power and Light Company(DP&L).  DP&L is the principal subsidiary of DPL providing approximately 99% of DPL’s total consolidated revenue and approximately 93% of DPL’s total consolidated asset base.  Throughout this report the terms we, us, our and ours are used to refer to both DPL and DP&L, respectively and altogether, unless the context indicates otherwise.  Discussions or areas of this report that apply only to DPL or DP&L will clearly be noted in the section.  Historically, DPL and DP&L have filed separate SEC filings.  Beginning with the 2006 Form 10-K and in the future, DPL and DP&L will file combined SEC reports on an interim and annual basis.

DPL is a regional electric energy and utility company and through its principal subsidiary, DP&L, is primarily engaged in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in West Central Ohio. DPL and DP&L strive to achieve disciplined growth in energy margins while limiting volatility in both cash flows and earnings, and to achieve stable, long-term growth through efficient operations and strong customer and regulatory relations. More specifically, DPL and DP&L’s strategy is to match energy supply with load or customer demand; maximize profits while effectively managing exposure to movements in energy and fuel prices; and utilize the transmission and distribution assets that transfer electricity at the most efficient cost, while maintaining the highest level of customer service and reliability.

We operate and manage generation assets and are exposed to a number of risks through this process. These risks include, but are not limited to, electricity wholesale price risk, fuel supply and price risk and power plant performance.  We attempt to manage these risks through various means. For instance, we operate a portfolio of wholly-owned and jointly-owned generation assets that is diversified as to fuel source, cost structure and operating characteristics. We are focused on the operating efficiency of these power plants and maintaining their availability.

Like other electric utilities and energy marketers, DP&L and DPL Energy, LLC (DPLE, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries) may sell or purchase electric products on the wholesale market.  DP&L and DPLE compete with other generators, power marketers, privately and municipally-owned electric utilities and rural electric cooperatives when selling electricity.  The ability of DP&L and DPLE to sell this electricity will depend on how DP&L’s and DPLE’s price, terms and conditions compare to those of other suppliers.

Weoperate and managetransmission and distribution assets in a rate-regulated environment. Accordingly, this subjects us to regulatory risk in terms of the costs that we may recover and the investment returns that we may collect in customer rates. We are focused on delivering electricity and maintaining high standards of customer service and reliability in a cost-effective manner.

We operate in a regulated and deregulated environment.  The electric utility industry has historically operated in a regulated environment.  However, in recent years, there have been a number of federal and state regulatory and legislative decisions aimed at promoting competition and providing customer choice.  Market participants have therefore created new business models to exploit opportunities.  The marketplace is now comprised of independent power producers, energy marketers and traders, energy merchants, transmission and distribution providers and retail energy suppliers.  There have also been new market entrants and activity among the traditional participants, such as mergers, acquisitions, asset sales and spin-offs of lines of business.  In addition, transmission systems are being operated by Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs).

As part of Ohio’s electric deregulation law, all of the state’s investor-owned utilities are required to join a RTO.  The role of the RTO is to administer an electric marketplace and ensure reliability of the transmission grid.  In October 2004, DP&L successfully integrated its 1,000 miles of high-voltage transmission into the PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (PJM) RTO.  PJM ensures the reliability of the high-voltage electric power system serving 51 million people in all or parts of Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia.  PJM coordinates and directs the operation of the region’s transmission grid; administers the world’s largest competitive wholesale electricity market; and plans regional transmission expansion improvements to maintain grid reliability and relieve congestion.

As a member of PJM, DP&L is subject to charges and costs associated with PJM operations as approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).  As discussed below, in connection with the recovery of such costs in retail rates, DP&L incurs significant administrative charges.  Additionally, PJM’s role in administering the regional transmission grid and planning regional transmission expansion improvements results in periodic proposals by PJM and other stakeholder members of PJM to the FERC to allocate and charge costs


associated with the transmission system to PJM’s members, including DP&LDP&L and other interested parties have the right to intervene and offer counter-proposals.

UPDATES / OTHER MATTERS

Executive Litigation

On May 21, 2007, we settled the litigation with the three former executives.  As part of this settlement, the three former executives relinquished and dismissed all their claims including those related to certain deferred compensation, RSUs, MVE incentives, stock options and legal fees. The RSUs and stock options relinquished and forfeited were 1.3 million and 3.6 million, respectively.  Prior to the settlement date, DPL had accrued obligations of approximately $64.2 million of which DP&L had accrued obligations of approximately $60.3 million.  Included in these amounts is approximately $3.1 million associated with the forfeiture of stock options.  In exchange for our payment of $25 million, all of these claims were settled.

As a result of this settlement, DPL realized a net pre-tax gain in continuing and discontinued operations of approximately $31.0 million and $8.2 million, respectively.  The net gain is comprised of the reversal of the $64.2 million of accrued obligations less the $25 million settlement.  The obligations related to the discontinued operations were associated with the management of DPL’s financial asset portfolio, which was conducted in our MVE subsidiary.  The MVE operations were discontinued in 2005 with the sale of the financial asset portfolio.  The $25 million settlement expense was allocated between continuing and discontinued operations based on the proportionate share of continuing and discontinued obligations.  The following table outlines the components of DPL’s net pre-tax gain for continuing and discontinued operations:

As a result of this settlement, DP&L realized a net pre-tax gain in continuing operations of approximately $35.3 million.  Accrued obligations associated with the former executives’ litigation were recorded by DP&L since the obligations were associated with our non-qualified benefit plans. DP&L had no ownership of DPL’s discontinued financial asset portfolio business, therefore these liabilities were reversed and DP&L’s net pre-tax gain was recorded within continuing operations. The following table outlines the components of DP&L’s net gain:

The $25 million settlement was funded from the sale of financial assets held in DP&L’s Master Trust Plan for deferred compensation.  As part of this transaction, DPL and DP&L recorded a $3.2 million realized gain which is reflected in investment income.

Sale of Corporate Aircraft

On June 7, 2007, Miami Valley CTC, Inc. (indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of DPL), sold its corporate aircraft and associated inventory and parts for $7.4 million.  The net book value of the assets being written down and subsequently sold were approximately $1.0 million and severance and other costs of approximately $0.4 million were accrued.  Miami Valley CTC, Inc. recorded a net gain on the sale of approximately $6.0 million for the quarter and the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, which is included in DPL’s operation and maintenance expense.


In relation to this sale, Miami Valley CTC, Inc., placed in escrow approximately $2.2 million. These funds are listed as the caption “Restricted funds held in trust” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for DPL.  These funds were released from escrow on July 12, 2007.

Sale of Peaking Generating FacilitiesUnits

On April 25, 2007, DPL is reviewingEnergy, LLC, completed the sale of its Darby and Greenville electric peaking generation portfolio.  Asfacilities providing DPL with approximately $151 million in cash.  Darby Station was sold to Columbus Southern Power Company, a partutility subsidiary of American Electric Power Company (AEP), for approximately $102 million in cash. Greenville Station was sold to Buckeye Power, Inc. for approximately $49 million in cash. See Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Insurance Recovery Claim

On April 30, 2007, DP&L executed a settlement agreement with one of our insurers, Associated Electric & Gas Insurance Services (AEGIS), under a fiduciary liability policy to recoup a portion of legal fees associated with our litigation against three former executives for $14.5 million.  This was recorded as a reduction to operation and maintenance expense during the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.

On May 16, 2007, DPL and DP&L noticed one of our insurers, Energy Insurance Mutual Limited, under an umbrella fiduciary liability policy, of our intent to pursue a claim for legal fees that process,DPL and DP&L incurred in defending claims made by the Companythree former executives.

Depreciation Study

Depreciation expense is soliciting bidscalculated using the straight-line method, which depreciates the cost of property over its estimated useful life.  For DPL’s and DP&L’s generation, transmission, and distribution assets, straight-line depreciation is applied on an average annual composite basis using group rates. With the addition of scrubbers at certain of its generation facilities, DP&L has undertaken an evaluation of its depreciation rates which it expects to be completed during the third quarter of 2007. Management expects depreciation rates to decrease due to the extension of depreciation lives for three peaking generating sites, representingcertain of its assets. The Public Utility Commission of Ohio would need to approve a combined capacity of 872 megawatts.  DPL will determine the number of sites it may sell, if any, after it receives the bids, which are expectedchange in early September.depreciation rates for our regulated assets.

Updates on Competition and Regulation

On April 4, 2005, we filed a request atOhio Matters

Since January 2001, DP&L’s electric customers have been permitted to choose their retail electric generation supplier.DP&L continues to have the exclusive right to provide delivery service in its state certified territory.  The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) to implement a new rate stabilization surcharge effective January 1, 2006 to recover cost increasesmaintains jurisdiction over DP&L’s delivery of electricity, the standard offer supply service that customers receive if they do not choose an alternative retail electricity supplier, and other rates and charges associated with environmental capital and related operations and maintenance costs, and fuel expenses.  On November 3, 2005, we entered into a settlement agreement that extended our rate stabilization period through December 31, 2010.  During this time, we will continue to providethe provision of retail electric service at fixed rates with the ability to recover increased fuel and environmental costs through surcharges and riders.  Specifically, the agreement provides for:service.

·                  A rate stabilization surcharge equal to 11%As of generation rates beginning January 1, 2006 and continuing through December 2010.  Based on 2004 sales, this rider is expected to result in approximately $65 million in net revenues per year.

·                  A new environmental investment rider to begin January 1,June 30, 2007, equal to 5.4% of generation rates, with incremental increases equal to 5.4% each year through 2010.  Based on 2004 sales, this rider is expected to result in approximately $35 million in annual net revenues beginning January 2007, growing to approximately $140 million by 2010.

·                  An increase to the residential generation discount from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2008 which is expected to result in a revenue decrease of approximately $7 million per year for three years, based on 2004 sales.  The residential discount will expire on December 31, 2008.

On December 28, 2005, the PUCO adopted the settlement with certain modifications (RSS Stipulation).  The PUCO ruled that the environmental rider will be bypassable by all customers who take service from alternate generation suppliers.  Future additional revenues are dependent upon actual sales and levels of customer switching.  Applications for rehearingfour unaffiliated marketers were denied, and the case was appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court by the OCC on April 21, 2006.

We agreed to implement a Voluntary Enrollment Process that would provide residential customers with an option to choose a competitive supplier to provide their retail generation service should switching not reach 20% in each customer class.  During 2005, approximately 51 thousand residential customers that volunteered for the program were bid out toregistered as Competitive Retail Electric Service (CRES) providers who were registered in ourDP&L’s service territory; however, no bids were received and the 2005 program ended.  As part of the RSS Stipulation, we agreed to implement the Voluntary Enrollment Program again in 2006 and 2007.  Approximately 25 thousand residential customers have volunteered for the 2006 program.  The first round of bids, due July 10, 2006, resulted in no bids being received.  There will be three additional rounds of bids during the third and fourth quarters of 2006.  The magnitude of any customer switching and the financial impact of this program cannot be determined at this time.

As of June 30, 2006, four unaffiliated marketers were registered as CRES providers in our service territory; to date,territory.  While there has been no significant activity from these suppliers.some customer switching to date, it represented less than 0.15 percent of sales in 2006.  DPL Energy Resources, Inc. (DPLER), one of our parent’s significant subsidiaries,an affiliated company, is also a registered CRES provider and accounted for nearly all load servedof the total kWh supplied by CRES providers within ourDP&L’s service territory in 2005.2006.  In addition, several communities in ourDP&L’s service area have passed ordinances allowing the communities to become government aggregators for the purpose of offering alternative electric generation supplies to their citizens.  To date, none of these communities have aggregated their generation load.

DP&L agreed to implement a Voluntary Enrollment Program (VEP) that would provide customers with an option to choose a competitive supplier to provide their retail generation service should switching not reach 20% in each customer class.  The 20% threshold has never been reached.  Customers who elected to participate in the program have been grouped together and collectively bid out to CRES providers.  The second of four rounds of bidding for the 2007 program was conducted in June resulting in no bids being received.  To date, the VEP process has resulted in no customer switching.  Future period effects cannot be determined at this time.

Federal Matters

On September 1, 2005, DP&L filed an application requesting the PUCO grant it authority to recover distribution costs associated with storm restoration efforts for ice storms that took place in December 2004 and January 2005.  In February 2006, DP&L filed updated schedules in support of its application.  On July 12, 2006, the PUCO approved DP&L’s filing, allowing the Company to recover approximately $8.6 million in additional revenues over a two-year period.

On July 23, 2003,April 19, 2007, the FERC issued an Order with regard to the allocation of costs associated with new planned transmission facilities.  FERC ordered that the ratescost of new, high-voltage facilities be socialized across the PJM region and the costs of new facilities at lower voltages be assigned to the load centers that benefit from the new facilities.  The methodology for transmission service of seven companies, including us, may be unjust, unreasonable, or unduly discriminatory or preferential.  In addition,identifying beneficiaries has been set for hearing.  On April 19, 2007, the FERC ordered transitional payments, known as Seams Elimination Charge Adjustment (SECA), effective December 1, 2004 through March 31, 2006,issued an Order relating to the allocation of costs associated with existing transmission facilities, upholding the existing PJM rate design.  These Orders are subject to refund. Through this proceeding, werehearing and the appeal process.  The financial impact of the order to socialize new, high-voltage facilities will be passed on as costs are obligated to pay SECAincurred by utilities


constructing such projects and will be reflected in PJM charges to other utilities, but we receiveDP&L.  Over time, this order is likely to increase PJM charges to DP&L.  Although the impact of cost allocation could be material, management believes these costs should be recoverable through retail rates.

As a net benefit from these transitional payments.  Several parties have sought rehearingmember of PJM, the value of DP&L’s generation capacity will be affected by changes in and the clearing results of the FERC orders,PJM capacity construct.  The new construct introduces a new Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) that changes the way generation capacity is priced and there likelyplanned for by PJM. PJM held its first RPM auction during April 2007 for the 2007/2008 planning year and held its second RPM auction during July 2007 for the 2008/2009 planning year.  DP&L does not expect a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows due to the outcome of these auctions.  An additional auction will be appeals filed inheld during 2007 for the matter.  All motions for rehearing are pending.2009/2010 planning year.  The hearing was held in May 2006, with an initial decision expected in August 2006.  Beginning May 2005, we began receiving these FERC ordered transitional paymentsfinancial results and have received over $24.8 millionimpact of SECA collections, net of SECA charges, through June 2006.  We have entered intothis auction is unknown and will depend on a significant number of bi-lateral settlement agreementsfactors including projections made by PJM as well as market participant bidding behavior.


ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

DPL, DP&L and our subsidiaries’ facilities and operations are subject to a wide range of environmental regulations and laws.  In the normal course of business, we have investigatory and remedial activities underway at these facilities to comply, or to determine compliance, with certain partiessuch regulations.  We record liabilities for probable estimated loss in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 (SFAS 5), “Accounting for Contingencies.”  To the extent a probable loss can only be estimated by reference to resolvea range of equally probable outcomes, and no amount within the matter, although several SECA claims are still outstanding.  Our management believes that appropriate reserves have been established in the event that SECA collections are requiredrange appears to be refunded.  The ultimate outcomea better estimate than any other amount, we accrue for the low end of the proceeding establishing SECA rates is uncertain at this time. However,range.  Because of uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based on the amountbest information available at the time. DPL, through its captive insurance subsidiary, MVIC, has an actuarial calculated reserve for environmental matters.   Weevaluate the potential liability related to probable losses quarterly and may revise our estimates.  Such revisions in the estimates of reserves established for this item, the results of this proceeding are not expected topotential liabilities could have a material effect on our results of operations.operations, financial position or cash flows.

OnFINANCIAL OVERVIEW

As more fully discussed in later sections of this Form 10-Q, the following were the significant themes and events for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007:

·DPL’s revenues for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 11% and 11%, respectively, over the same periods in 2006 primarily due to weather driven retail sales volume, the rate stabilization surcharge and other regulated asset recovery riders.  DPL’s purchased power costs for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007 increased$46.2 million and $73.1 million, respectively, over the same periods in 2006.  The increase in purchased power volume was primarily the result of higher sales volume and DPL and partner operated generating facilities being less available than the same period of the prior year due to planned and unplanned outages.  In addition, we purchase power when market prices are below the marginal costs associated with our higher cost generating facilities.

·DPL’s cash flows from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of $112.4 million were 16% lower than the cash flows from operations of $133.4 million for the same period of 2006 primarily due to changes in working capital.

·DPL realized a net (pre-tax) gain in both continuing and discontinued operations of approximately $31.0 million and $8.2 million, respectively, resulting from the $25.0 million settlement of the litigation with the three former executives.  See note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

·DP&L’s revenues for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 11% and 11%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006 resulting from the weather driven sales volume, rate stabilization surcharge and other regulated asset recovery riders.  DP&L’s purchased power costs for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007, increased $45.4 million and $72.5 million, respectively, over the same periods in 2006.  The increase in purchased power volume was primarily the result of higher sales volume and DP&L and partner operated generating facilities being less available than the same period of the prior year due to planned and unplanned outages.  In addition, we purchase power when market prices are below the marginal costs associated with our higher cost generating facilities.

·DP&L’s cash flows from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of $137.9 million were 21% lower than the cash flows from operations of $175.2 million for the same period in 2006 primarily due to changes in working capital.

·DP&L realized a net (pre-tax) gain of approximately $35.3 million resulting from the settlement of the litigation with the three former executives.  See Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

·DP&L had borrowings against the $220 million revolving line of credit facility of $65 million from February 26, 2007 through May 31, 2005,28, 2007 and of $30 million from April 12, 2007 through May 13, 2007.  At June 30, 2007, there were no outstanding borrowings against the FERC institutedrevolving credit facility.

DPL Inc. – Revenues

Retail customers, especially residential and commercial customers, consume more electricity on warmer and colder days. Therefore, DPL’s retail sales volume is impacted by the number of heating and cooling degree days occurring during a proceeding under Federal Power Act Section 206 concerningyear.  Since DPL plans to utilize its internal generating capacity to supply its retail customers’ needs first, increases in retail demand will decrease the justnessvolume of internal generation available to be sold in the wholesale market and reasonablenessvice versa.

The wholesale market covers a multi-state area and settles on an hourly basis throughout the year. Factors impacting DPL’s wholesale sales volume each hour of PJM’s transmission rate design.the year include wholesale market prices, DPL’s retail demand, retail demand elsewhere throughout the entire wholesale market area, DPL and non-DPL plants’ availability to sell into the wholesale market and weather conditions across the multi-state region. DPL’s plan is to make wholesale sales when market prices allow for the economic operation of its generation facilities not being utilized to meet its retail demand.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, revenues increased $34.1 million, or 11% to $343.1 million from $309.0 million for the same period in the prior year.  This proceeding setsincrease was primarily the result of higher average rates for hearingretail and requests that allwholesale, higher retail sales volume and an increase in RTO ancillary revenue.  Retail revenues increased $26.0 million, or 10%, resulting from a 6% increase in weather driven sales volume as total degree days increased 18% and a 4% increase in average retail rates related to the Rate Stabilization Plan surcharge and other regulated asset recovery riders.  These increases resulted in a $15.4 million sales volume variance and a $11.5 million price variance.  Wholesale revenue remained flat for the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period of the prior year resulting from lower wholesale sales volume, partially offset by higher average market rates.  The decrease in wholesale sales volume of 123 GWh resulted in an unfavorable sales volume variance of $5.5 million which was partially offset by a 22% increase in average market rates resulting in $5.4 million price variance.  For the second quarter of 2007, the RTO ancillary revenues increased $8.4 million compared to the second quarter of 2006 primarily resulting from $4.3 million realized from the PJM capacity auction, $1.8 million of PJM members, which include us, addresstransmission congestion credits and $1.0 million from the justnesssale of financial transmission rights (FTRs). RTO ancillary revenues primarily consist of compensation for use of DP&L’s transmission assets, regulation services, reactive supply and reasonablenessoperating reserves.  These revenues are substantially offset by RTO ancillary charges included in purchased power costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, revenues increased $72.7 million, or 11% to $722.8 million from $650.1 million for the same period in the prior year.  This increase was primarily the result of higher average rates and sales volume for both retail and wholesale.  Retail revenues increased $47.2 million resulting from a 6% increase in weather driven sales volume as total degree days increased 16% and a 3% increase in average retail rates related to the Rate Stabilization Plan surcharge and other regulated asset recovery riders.  These increases resulted in a $30.5 million sales volume variance and a $17.8 million price variance.  For the six months ended June 30, 2007, wholesale revenue increased $19.2 million over the same period of the current rate design.  On November 22, 2005, we, along with ten other transmission owners, filed in support of PJM’s existing rate design.  A hearing was held in April 2006 and an initial decision was issued on July 13, 2006 recommending a rate design different than PJM’s existing rate design.  We expect a final Commission order on this issue later this year.  Due to the comment and appeal process, we cannot determine what effect the final outcome of this proceeding may have on our future recovery of transmission revenues.

Updates on Environmental Considerations

Air and Water Quality

On December 17, 2003, the USEPA proposed the Interstate Air Quality Rule (IAQR) designed to reduce and permanently cap sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from electric utilities.  The proposed IAQR focused on states, including Ohio, whose power plant emissions are believed to be significantly contributing to fine particle and ozone pollution in other downwind states in the eastern United States.  On June 10, 2004, the USEPA issued a supplemental proposal to the IAQR, now renamed as the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR).  The final rules were signed on March 10, 2005 and were published on May 12, 2005.  On August 24, 2005, the USEPA proposed additional revisions to the CAIR and initiated reconsideration on one issue.  On March 15, 2006, the USEPA announced it had completed its review of the requests for reconsideration and determined that it would propose no changes to CAIR and denied the requests for stay.  We have determined that CAIR requirements will have a material effect on our operations, requiring the installation of FGD equipment and continual operation of the


currently-installed Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) equipment.  As a result, we are proceeding with the installation and have begun the construction of FGD equipment at various generating units.

On January 30, 2004, the USEPA published its proposal to restrict mercury and other air toxins from coal-fired and oil-fired utility plants.  The final Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAM-R) was signed March 15, 2005 and was published on May 18, 2005. The final rules will have a material effect on our operations.  We anticipate that the FGDs being installed to meet the requirements of CAIR may be adequate to meet the Phase I requirements of CAM-R.  We expect that additional controls will be needed to meet the Phase II requirements of CAM-R that go into effect January 1, 2018.  On March 29, 2005, nine states filed lawsuits against USEPA, opposing the regulatory approach taken by USEPA.  On March 31, 2005, various groups requested that USEPA stay implementation of CAM-R.  On August 4, 2005, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia denied the motion for stay.  On October 21, 2005, USEPA initiated reconsideration proceedings on a number of issues.  On May 31, 2006, USEPA took final action on CAM-R essentially reaffirming its original rulemaking.

Under the CAIR and CAM-R cap and trade programs for SO2, NOx and mercury, we estimate we will spend more than $465 million from 2006 through 2008 to install the necessary pollution controls.  If CAM-R litigation results in plant specific mercury controls, our costs may be higher.  Due to the ongoing uncertainties associated with the litigation of the CAM-R, we cannot project the final costs at this time.

RISK FACTORS

This quarterly report and other documents that we file with the SEC and other regulatory agencies, as well as other oral or written statements we may make from time to time, contain information based on management’s beliefs and include forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) that involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and there are a number of factors which could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from the results contemplated by such forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whetherprior year primarily as a result of new information, future eventsa 12% increase in sales volume (178 GWh) and a 15% increase in wholesale average rates.  These increases resulted in an $11.1 million sales volume variance and an $8.1 million price volume variance for wholesale revenues.  For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the RTO ancillary revenues increased $6.4 million compared to the same period in 2006 primarily resulting from $4.3 million realized from the PJM capacity auction, $1.8 million of PJM transmission congestion credits and $2.4 million from the sale of financial transmission rights (FTRs), partially offset by an adjustment of $2.8 million for Seams Elimination Cost Adjustment (SECA).  RTO ancillary revenues primarily consist of compensation for use of DP&L’s transmission assets, regulation services, reactive supply and operating reserves.  These revenues are substantially offset by RTO ancillary charges included in purchased power costs.

Revenues

Revenues increased 5% to $306.7from $193.4 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $291.4 million for the second quarter of 2005 reflecting higher average rates for retail sales and greater wholesale sales volume.  These increases were partially offset by lower retail sales volume, lower wholesale average rates and slightly decreased ancillary revenues associated with participation in a RTO.

Retail revenues increased $8.1 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to 2005, primarily resulting from $14.4 million in higher average rates and $0.1 million of higher miscellaneous revenues, offset by decreased sales volume of $6.4 million.  The higher average rates were primarily the result of rate stabilization plan increases, regulated asset recovery riders, and changes in the customer mix of sales.  Wholesale revenue increased $7.3 million, primarily related to a $10.2 million increase related to higher sales volume, offset by a $2.9 million decrease in average market rates.  During the second quarter of 2006, RTO ancillary revenues remained relatively flat, decreasing $0.1 million to $17.4 million from $17.5 million in the second quarter 2005.  Heating degree-days were down 10% to 554 for the second quarter of 2006 compared to 618 for the same period in 2005.  Cooling degree-days were down 26% to 206 for the second quarter of 2006 compared to 278 for the same period in 2005.

Revenues increased 8% to $645.8 million in the first half of 2006 compared to $596.5 million for 2005, reflecting higher average rates for retail revenues, greater wholesale sales volume and increased ancillary revenues associated with participation in an RTO.  These increases were partially offset by lower retail sales volume and lower wholesale average rates.

Retail revenues increased $24.6 million in the first half of 2006 compared to the first half of 2005, primarily resulting from $35.2 million in higher average rates and $0.4 million of higher miscellaneous revenues, offset by decreased sales volume of $11.0 million.  The higher average rates were primarily the result of rate stabilization plan increases, regulated asset recovery riders, and a change in the customer mix of sales.  Wholesale revenues increased $22.6 million, primarily related to a $28.6 million increase related to higher sales volume, offset by a $6.0 million decrease in average market rates.  During the first half of 2006, RTO ancillary revenues increased $2.1 million to $35.1 million from $33.0 million in the first half of 2005.  Heating degree-days were down 13% to 3,068 for the first half of 2006 compared to 3,515 for the same period in 2005.   Cooling degree-days were down 26% to 206 for the first half of 2006 compared to 278 for the same period in 2005.

Gross Margin, Fuel and Purchased Power

Gross margin of $192.1 million in the second quarter of 2006 increased by $8.6 million from $183.5 million in the second quarter of 2005.   As a percentage of total revenues, however, gross margin remained relatively stable, decreasing only 0.4 percentage points to 62.6% from 63.0%.  The dollar increase in gross margin was primarily the result of greater revenues, partially offset by increased fuel costs.  Fuel costs increased by $6.7 million or 10% in the three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005, primarily resulting from higher market prices.  Purchased power costs remained flat in the second quarter of 2006 compared to 2005.

Gross margin of $421.7 million in the first half of 2006 increased by $40.1 million from $381.6 million in the first half of 2005.2006.  As a percentage of total revenues, gross margin decreased to 57.2% in


the second quarter of 2007 compared to 62.6% in the second quarter of 2006.  This result reflects the favorable impact of the increase in retail revenues and lower fuel costs, offset by increased purchased power costs.  Fuel costs, which include coal, gas, oil and emission allowance costs, decreased by 1.3 percentage points$15.1 million, or 19%, in the second quarter of 2007 compared to 65.3%the same period in 2006 due to lower average fuel prices and a 16% (629 GWh) decrease in generation output.  Purchased power increased $46.2 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 primarily resulting from 64.0%.  This improvement isincreased charges of $34.5 million relating to higher purchased power volume (685 GWh) and $6.9 million increase due to higher average market rates.  The increase in purchased power volume was primarily the result of increased revenuessales volume and a slight decline inpartner operated generating facilities being less available compared to the same period of the prior year due to planned and unplanned outages.  In addition, we purchase power when market prices are below the marginal costs offset by increased fuel costs.  Fuel costs rose by $12.9 million or 9% inassociated with our higher cost generating facilities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2006,  as a result2007, gross margin of higher market prices and higher generation output as compared to 2005.  Purchased power costs decreased by $3.7$433.6 million increased $8.6 million, or 5% in the first half of 2006 compared to prior year primarily resulting2%, from lower purchased power volume, offset slightly by increased average RTO ancillary charges.

Operation and Maintenance Expense

Operation and maintenance expense increased $9.0$425.0 million or 18% in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005,2006.  As a percentage of total revenues, gross margin decreased to 60.0% in 2007 compared to 65.4% in 2006.  This result reflects the favorable impact of both retail and wholesale revenues discussed above and lower fuel costs offset by increased purchased power costs.  Fuel costs, which include coal, gas, oil and emission allowance costs, decreased by $9.0 million, or 6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 primarily resulting from $3.3 milliondue to a 7% decrease in PJM administrative fees including $2.5 million deferred in 2005 by PUCO authority until rate relief was granted in February 2006; increased employee compensation and benefit expenses in the amount of $2.6 million, including group medical, pension, ESOP and stock option compensation costs; a $2.0 million increase in power production costs primarily related to increased operating expenses; and increased Low-Income Payment Program costs of $0.8 million. These increases weregeneration output (580 GWh), partially offset by a $1.2an increase in average fuel prices.  Purchased power increased $73.1 million decrease in mark-to-market adjustments for restricted stock units (RSUs). 

Operation and maintenance expense increased $14.4 million or 14% of the first half of 2006six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to prior yearthe same period in 2006 primarily resulting from increased employee compensationcharges of $56.9 million relating to higher purchased power volume (1,148 GWh) and benefit expenses in the amount of $4.5 million, including group medical, pension, ESOP and stock option compensation costs; $2.8 million in PJM administrative fees including $2.5 million deferred in 2005 by PUCO authority until rate relief was granted in February 2006; a $2.5$11.1 million increase due to higher average market rates.  The increase in purchased power volume was primarily the result of increased sales volume and partner operated generating facilities being less available compared to the prior year due to planned and unplanned outages.  In addition, we purchase power when market prices are below the marginal costs associated with our higher cost generating facilities.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, operation and maintenance expense decreased $9.1 million, or 13%, compared to the same period in 2006 primarily resulting from a $14.5 million insurance settlement reimbursing us for legal fees relating to the litigation with the three former executives, the gain on the sale of the corporate aircraft of $6.0 million and an actuarial adjustment reducing our MVIC reserve by $2.0 million, partially offset by increased power production costs largely related to increased operating expenses; increased Low-Income Payment Programboiler maintenance of $6.6 million and other power production maintenance costs of $2.1 million;$5.4 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, operation and maintenance expense decreased $2.2 million, or 2%, compared to the same period in 2006 primarily resulting from a $14.5 million insurance settlement reimbursing us for legal fees relating to the litigation with the three former executives, the gain on sale of the corporate aircraft of $6.0 million and an actuarial adjustment of $2.0 million, increase in reserves for injuries and damages; and increased service operations costs of $1.9 million primarily related to greater line clearance activity. These increases were partially offset by a $1.1increased power production costs largely related to boiler maintenance of $7.1 million decrease in Directors’ and Officers’ liability insuranceother power production maintenance costs of $7.1 million and a $0.4increased legal costs of $4.3 million decrease in mark-to-market adjustments for RSUs.

DPL Inc. Investment Income

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, investment income increased $0.8 million to $5.3 million from $4.5 million for the same period in 2006.  This increase was primarily the result of $3.2 million realized gains from the sale of financial assets held in DP&L’s Master Trust Plan for deferred compensation used for the settlement payment to the three former executives, partially offset by lower interest income relating to lower cash and short-term investment balances in 2007 compared to 2006.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, investment income decreased $2.6 million to $8.3 million from $10.9 million for the same period in 2006.  This decrease was primarily the result of lower interest income relating to lower cash and short-term investment balances in 2007 compared to 2006, partially offset by $3.2 million realized gains from the sale of financial assets held in DP&L’s Master Trust Plan for deferred compensation used for the settlement payment to the three former executives.

On May 21, 2007, we settled the litigation with the three former executives.  In exchange for a payment of $25 million, the three former executives relinquished and dismissed all of their claims including those related to deferred compensation, RSUs, MVE incentives, stock options and legal fees.  As a result of this settlement, DPL realized a net pre-tax gain in continuing and discontinued operations of approximately $39.2 million.  See Note 10 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

DPL Inc. Interest Expense

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, interest expense decreased $6.5 million or 25% compared to the same period in 2006 primarily from lower interest of $4.6 million associated with the redemption of DPL debt ($225 million 8.25% Senior Note) and $2.9 million of greater capitalized interest than the prior year mostly relating to increased pollution control capital expenditures.  These decreases were partially offset by $1.2 million of interest expense associated with DP&L’s new $100 million 4.8% Series pollution control bonds issued September 13, 2006.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, interest expense decreased $9.7 million or 19% compared to 2006 primarily from $5.7 million of greater capitalized interest than the prior year mostly relating to increased pollution control capital expenditures; and lower interest of $6.2 million from redemption of DPL debt ($225 million 8.25% Senior Note).  These decreases were partially offset by $2.4 million of interest expense associated with DP&L’s new $100 million 4.8% Series pollution control bonds issued September 13, 2006 and $1.1 million of interest expense associated with DP&L’s short-term borrowing of $95 million from its unsecured revolving credit agreement of $220 million.

DPL Inc. Other Income (Deductions)

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, other deductions of $0.2 million changed from $0.6 million of other income in 2006 primarily resulting from a refund of tax penalties in 2006.

AmortizationFor the six months ended June 30, 2007, other income of regulatory$0.6 million increased from $0.3 million of other income in 2006 primarily resulting from the sale of emission allowances and gains realized on the expiration of forward contracts partially offset by a refund of tax penalties in 2006.

DPL Inc. – Income Tax Expense

For the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007, income taxes increased $20.0 million and $21.3 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006, primarily reflecting an increase in pre-tax book income.

DPL Inc. – Discontinued Operations

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, discontinued operations increased $5.1 million compared to the same period in 2006, primarily resulting from the net (pre-tax) gain of $8.2 million realized from the settlement of the litigation with the three former executives less associated income taxes.


For the six months ended June 30, 2007, discontinued operations increased $2.4 million compared to the same period in 2006 primarily resulting from the net (pre-tax) gain of $8.2 million realized from the settlement of the litigation with the three former executives less associated income taxes.  This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the deferred gains of $5.0 million relating to the financial asset portfolio realized during 2007 compared to the same period of the prior year less associated income taxes.

DP&L – Revenues

Retail customers, especially residential and commercial customers, consume more electricity on warmer and colder days. Therefore, DP&L’s retail sales volume is impacted by the number of heating and cooling degree days occurring during a year.  Since DP&L plans to utilize its internal generating capacity to supply its retail customers’ needs first, increases in retail demand will decrease the volume of internal generation available to be sold in the wholesale market and vice versa.

The wholesale market covers a multi-state area and settles on an hourly basis throughout the year. Factors impacting DP&L’s wholesale sales volume each hour of the year include wholesale market prices, DP&L’s retail demand, retail demand elsewhere throughout the entire wholesale market area, DP&L and non-DP&L plants’ availability to sell into the wholesale market and weather conditions across the multi-state region. DP&L’s plan is to make wholesale sales when market prices allow for the economic operation of its generation facilities not being utilized to meet its retail demand.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, revenues increased $34.5 million, or 11%, to $341.2 million from $306.7 million for the same period in the prior year.  This increase was primarily the result of higher average rates for retail and wholesale sales, higher retail sales volume and an increase in RTO ancillary revenue.  Retail revenues increased $20.6 million, or 9%, resulting from a 6% increase in weather driven sales volume as total degree days increased 18% and a 3% increase in average retail rates related to the Rate Stabilization Plan surcharge and other regulated asset recovery riders.  These increases resulted in a $13.4 million sales volume variance and a $8.1 million price variance.  Wholesale revenue increased $5.3 million for the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period of the prior year resulting from higher average market rates, partially offset by lower wholesale sales volume.  The increase in average market rates of 32% resulted in a $16.8 million price variance, partially offset by a decrease in wholesale sales volume of 123 GWh resulting in an unfavorable sales volume variance of $11.5 million.  For the second quarter of 2007, the RTO ancillary revenues increased $8.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2006 primarily resulting from $4.3 million realized from the PJM capacity auction, $1.8 million of PJM transmission congestion credits and $1.0 million from the sale of financial transmission rights (FTRs). RTO ancillary revenues primarily consist of compensation for use of DP&L’s transmission assets, netregulation services, reactive supply and operating reserves.  These revenues are substantially offset by RTO ancillary charges included in purchased power costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, revenues increased $1.9$72.9 million, or 11%, to $718.7 million from $645.8 million for the same period in the prior year.  This increase was primarily the result of higher average rates and greater sales volumes for both retail and wholesale customers.  Retail revenues increased $41.4 million resulting from a 6% increase in weather driven sales volume as total degree days increased 16% and a 3% increase in average retail rates related to the Rate Stabilization Plan surcharge and other regulated asset recovery riders.  These increases resulted in a $26.8 million sales volume variance and a $15.7 million price variance.  For the six months ended June 30, 2007, wholesale revenue increased $24.9 million over the same period of the prior year primarily as a result of a 12% increase in sales volume (178 GWh) and an 6% increase in wholesale average rates.  These increases resulted in a $15.9 million sales volume variance and a $9.0 million price volume variance for wholesale revenues.  For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the RTO ancillary revenues increased $6.6 million compared to the same period in 2006 primarily resulting from $4.3 million realized from the PJM capacity auction, $1.8 million of PJM transmission congestion credits and $2.4 million from the sale of financial transmission rights (FTRs), partially offset by an adjustment of $2.8 million for Seams Elimination Cost Adjustment (SECA).  RTO ancillary revenues primarily consist of compensation for use of DP&L’s transmission assets, regulation services, reactive supply and operating reserves.  These revenues are substantially offset by RTO ancillary charges included in purchased power costs.

DP&L – Margins, Fuel and Purchased Power

For the second quarter of 2007, gross margin of $195.1 million increased $3.0 million, or 2%, from $192.1 million in the second quarter of 2006.  As a percentage of total revenues, gross margin decreased to 57.2% in the second quarter of 2007 compared to 62.6% in the second quarter of 2006.  This result reflects the favorable impact of the increase in revenues and lower fuel costs, offset by increased purchased power costs.  Fuel costs, which include coal, gas, oil and emission allowance costs, decreased by $13.9 million, or 18%, in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 due to lower average fuel prices and a 16% (629 GWh) decrease in generation output.  Purchased power increased $45.4 million in the second quarter of 2007


compared to the same period in 2006 primarily resulting from increased charges of $39.6 million relating to higher purchased power volume (685 GWh) and $5.8 million increase due to higher average market rates.  The increase in purchased power volume was primarily the result of increased sales volume and partner operated generating facilities being less available compared to the same period of the prior year due to planned and unplanned outages.  In addition, we purchase power when market prices are below the marginal costs associated with our higher cost generating facilities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, gross margin of $430.4 million increased $8.7 million, or 2%, from $421.7 million compared to the same period in 2006.  As a percentage of total revenues, gross margin decreased to 59.9% in 2007 compared to 65.3% in 2006.  This result reflects the favorable impact of both retail and wholesale revenues discussed above and lower fuel costs offset by increased purchased power costs.  Fuel costs, which include coal, gas, oil and emission allowance costs, decreased by $8.3 million, or 5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 primarily due to a 7% decrease in generation output (580 GWh), partially offset by an increase in average fuel prices.  Purchased power increased $72.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 primarily resulting from increased charges of $62.2 million relating to higher purchased power volume (1,148 GWh) and $10.3 million increase due to higher average market rates.  The increase in purchased power volume was primarily the result of increased sales volume and partner operated generating facilities being less available compared to the prior year due to planned and unplanned outages.  In addition, we purchase power when market prices are below the marginal costs associated with our higher cost generating facilities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, operation and maintenance expense increased $18.0 million, or 16%, compared to the same period in 2006 primarily resulting from increased power production costs largely related to boiler maintenance of $7.1 million and other power production maintenance of $7.1 million.  In addition, we had increased mark-to-market adjustments relating to RSUs and increased expense in service operation’s costs relating to overhead line maintenance.

DP&L Amortization of Regulatory Assets

For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007, amortization of regulatory assets increased $0.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively, compared to the same period in 2006.  These increases reflect the amortization of costs incurred to modify the customer billing system to accommodate unbundled rates and electric choice bills and $0.5 million forin the customer billing system; the amortization of deferred PJM administrative fees.  We received orders from the PUCO in the first quarter of 2006 approving the recovery of the customer billing costs and PJM administrative fees deferred for the period October 2004 through rate riders beginning March 2006 and February 2006, respectively.  The customer billing costs rate rider is expected to be in place for five yearsJanuary 2006; and the PJM administrative fee rate rider is expected to continue for three years.amortization of incremental 2004/2005 severe storm costs.

DP&L – Investment Income

Investment income increased $0.3 million during the second quarter of 2006 compared to 2005 primarily due to increased interest income earned from cash on deposit.

Investment income increased $1.1 million during the first half of 2006 as compared to prior year primarily resulting from a $0.7 million net gain on Master Trust investments (related to deferred compensation) and a $0.6 increase in interest income earned from cash on deposit.

DP&L – Net Gain on Settlement of Executive Litigation

On May 21, 2007, we settled the litigation with the three former executives.  In exchange for a payment of $25 million, the three former executives relinquished and dismissed all of their claims including those related to deferred compensation, RSUs, MVE incentives, stock options and legal fees.  As a result of this settlement, DP&L realized a net pre-tax gain in continuing operations of approximately $35.3 million.  See Note 10 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

DP&L Interest Expense

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, interest expense decreased $3.8$0.5 million compared to the same period in 2005.  This decrease is primarily attributable to a $12.3 million gain recognized on the sale of pollution control emission allowances during the first half of 2005 (there were no such sales in 2006), partially offset by $7.0 million in reduced investment management fees, a $0.7 million refund of a prior year IRS penalty and lower revolving credit facility fees of $0.4 million.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $4.0 million or 43% for the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, primarily relating to $2.0 million of greater capitalized interest resulting from increased capital expenditures for pollution control equipment at the generating plants and $1.5 million of lower interest expense reflecting the 2005 refinancing of pollution control bonds at reduced interest rates, the elimination of the interest penalty resulting from the delayed exchange offer of the $470 million 5.125% Series First Mortgage Bonds due 2013 that was completed during the second quarter of 2005 and lower debt service charges


associated with DPL Inc.’s early retirement of ESOP debt.

Interest expense decreased $8.6 million or 42% in the first half of 2006 compared to the first half of 2005, primarily relating to $4.3$2.9 million of increased capitalized interest resulting from higher pollution control capital expenditures at the generating plants, and $3.6partially offset by increased interest of $1.2 million of lower interest expense reflectingrelated to the refinancing of$100 million 4.8% Series pollution control bonds issued in September 2006 and $0.7 million of interest related to the $95 million draw on our revolving credit facility.

WeDPL and DP&L have obligations to make future payments for capital expenditures, debt agreements, lease agreements and other long-term purchase obligations, and have certain other contingent commitments.commitments such as guarantees.  We believe our cash flows from operations, the credit facilities (existing or future arrangements), the senior notes and other short- and long-term debt financing, will be sufficient to satisfy our future working capital, capital expenditures and other financing requirements for the foreseeable future.  Our ability to generate positive cash flows from operations is dependent on general economic conditions, competitive pressures and other business and risk factors.factors described in Item 1a of our fiscal 2006 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1a of this Form 10-Q.  If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, or otherwise comply with the terms of our credit facilities, the senior notes and other long-term debt, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or seek additional financing alternatives.  A discussion of each of our critical liquidity commitments is outlined below.

Capital Requirements

Capital expendituresDPL’s construction additions were $199.3$193.5 million and $80.6$184.2 million for the first halfsix months of 2007 and 2006, respectively.

DP&L’s construction additions were $192.0 million and 2005,$183.1 million for the first six months of 2007 and 2006, respectively, and are expected to approximate an aggregate amount of $360$308 million in 2006.  2007.

Planned construction additions for 2006 primarily2007 relate to ourDP&L’s environmental compliance program, power plant equipment and ourits transmission and distribution system.

Capital projects are subject to continuing review and are revised in light of changes in financial and economic conditions, load forecasts, legislative and regulatory developments and changing environmental standards, among other factors.  Over the next three years, we areDPL, through its subsidiary DP&L, is projecting to spend an estimated $810$675 million in capital projects, (previously $745 million), approximately 55%40% of which is to meet changing environmental standards.


  In our Form 10-Q as of March 31, 2007, we reported our estimated capital spending to be approximately $645 million.  This increase is due primarily to increases capital projects at partner-operated generating plants.  Our ability to complete our capital projects and the reliability of future service will be affected by

Issuance of additional amounts of first mortgage bonds by DP&L is limited by the provisions of its mortgage; however, management believes that DP&L continues to have sufficient capacity to issue first mortgage bonds to satisfy its requirements in connection with its current refinancing and construction programs.  The amounts and timing of future financings will depend upon market and other conditions, rate increases, levels of sales and construction plans.

During the second quarter of 2007, DPL entered into a short-term loan to DP&Lfor a total of $2.2$105 million.

MARKET RISK

As a result of our operating, investing and financing activities, we are subject to certain market risks including fluctuations in interest rates and changes in commodity prices for electricity, coal, environmental emissions and gas.gas as well as fluctuations in interest rates.  Commodity pricing exposure includes the impacts of weather, market demand, potential coal supplier contract breaches or defaults, increased competition and other economic conditions.  For purposes of potential risk analysis, we use sensitivity analysesanalysis to quantify potential impacts of market rate changes on the results of operations.  The sensitivity analyses representanalysis represents hypothetical changes in market values that may or may not occur in the future.

Commodity Pricing Risk

Approximately 21%12% of our first half 2006DPL’s and 22% of DP&L’s electric revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were from sales of excess energy and capacity in the wholesale market.  Energy and capacity in excess of the needs of existing retail customers are sold inon the wholesale market when we can identify opportunities with positive margins.  As of June 30, 2006,2007, a hypothetical increase or decrease of 10% in DPL’sannual wholesale revenues could result in approximately a $17an $11 million increase or decrease to annual net income, assuming no increases or decreases in fuel and purchased power costs.  As of June 30, 2007, a hypothetical increase or decrease of 10% in DP&L’s annual wholesale revenues could result in approximately a $20 million increase or decrease to annual net income, assuming no increases or decreases in fuel and purchased power costs.


DPL’s fuel (including coal, gas, oil and emission allowances) and purchased power costs as a percent of total operating costs in the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, were 52% and 46%, respectively.  DP&L’s fuel (including coal, gas, oil and emission allowances) and purchased power costs as a percent of total operating costs were 53% and 49% in the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  We have approximately 95% and 83%substantially all of the total expected coal volume needed to meet our retail and firm wholesale sales requirements for 2006 and 2007 respectively, under contract.  The majority of our contracted coal is purchased at fixed prices.  Some contracts provide for periodic adjustment and some are priced based on market indices.  Substantially all contracts have features that limit price escalations in any given year.  Our 2006 emission allowance (SOand NOx) consumption is expected to be similar to 2005.  Our holdings of SO2 and NOx allowances are approximately equalshould decline in 2007 due to our expected needs from 2006 through 2010.  There may be exchanges of allowances between future years to balance our 2006-2010 position.planned emission control upgrades.  We do not expect to purchase SO2 allowances outright for 2006.2007.  The exact consumption of SO2 and NOxallowances will depend on market prices for power, and availability of our generating units.  The utilizationgeneration units, the timing of SO2 allowances will depend uponemission control equipment upgrade completion and the actual sulfur content of the coal burned.DP&L does not plan to purchase NOx allowances for 2007.  Fuel costs are impacted by changes in volume and price and are driven by a number of variables including weather, reliability of coal deliveries, scheduled outages and generation plant mix.  Fuel costs are forecasted to increase approximately 7% in 2006 compared to 2005 and are forecasted to be flat in 2007 compared to 2006. This is primarily due to a delay in planned outage for a co-owner plant from 2006 to 2007. This forecast assumes coal prices will increase approximately 10% in 2006 as compared to 2005 and remain flat in 2007 as compared to 2006.

Purchased power costs depend, in part, upon the timing and extent of planned and unplanned outages of our generating capacity.  We will purchase power on a discretionary basis when wholesale market conditions provide opportunities to obtain power at a cost below our internal production costs.  As of June 30, 2006,2007, a hypothetical increase or decrease of 10% in DPL’sannual fuel and purchased power costs excluding Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) services, could result in approximately a $25$32 million decrease or increase to annual net income, assuming no decreases or increases in sales revenues.  As of June 30, 2007, a hypothetical increase or decrease of 10% in DP&L’s annual fuel and purchased power costs could result in approximately a $32 million increase or decrease to annual net income.

We have entered into an agreement with Merrill Lynch Commodities Inc. (MLCI) intended to expand our ability to manage our coal portfolio and long-term coal procurement strategy.  We will use MLCI’s analytical, optimization, marketing, and risk control capabilities to enhance our ability to manage our coal portfolio.  MLCI will assist usincome, assuming no decreases or increases in the development of our future requirements, management of existing commitments, and the overall management of coal issues.sales revenues.

Interest Rate Risk

As a result of our normal borrowing and leasing activities, our results are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, which we manage through our regular financing activities.  We maintain both cash on deposit and investments in cash equivalents that may be affected by adverse interest rate fluctuations.  Our long-term debt represents publicly-heldpublicly and privately held secured and unsecured notes and debentures with fixed interest rates.  At June 30, 2006,2007, we had no short-term borrowings.outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

The carrying value of ourDPL’s debt was $686.6$1,552.5 million at June 30, 2006,2007, consisting of ourDP&L’s first mortgage bonds, ourDP&L’s tax-exempt pollution control bonds, our unsecured notes and ourDP&L’s capital leases.  The fair value of this debt was $661.2$1,566.8 million, based on current market prices or discounted cash flows using current rates for similar issues with similar terms and remaining maturities.  The principal cash repayments and related weighted average interest rates by maturity date for long-term, fixed-rate debt at June 30, 20062007, are as follows:

We prepare ourDPL’s and DP&L’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted inGAAP.  In connection with the United Statespreparation of America (GAAP).  The consolidatedthese financial statements, include the accounts of DP&L and our majority-owned subsidiaries.  Investments that are not majority owned are accounted for using the equity method when our investment allows us the ability to exert significant influence, as defined by GAAP.  Undivided interests in jointly-owned generation facilities are consolidated on a pro rata basis.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires usmanagement is required to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and liabilities, the related disclosure of contingent assetsliabilities.  These assumptions, estimates and liabilitiesjudgments are based on our historical experience and assumptions that we believed to be reasonable at the datetime.  However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the financial statements, and the revenue and expensesexercise of the period reported.  judgment.  Our critical accounting estimates are those which require assumptions to be made about matters that are highly uncertain.

Different estimates could have a material effect on our financial results. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of these policies and estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or circumstances.  Significant items subject to such estimates and judgments includeinclude: the carrying value of property, plant and equipment; unbilled revenues; the valuation of derivative instruments;insurance and claims costs; valuation allowances for receivables and deferred income taxes; the valuation of reserves recorded for income tax exposures;related to current litigation; regulatory proceedings and orders; and assets and liabilities related to employee benefits. Actual results may differ from those estimates.  Refer to our 20052006 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for a complete listing of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

(a)   DP&L sells power to DPLER (a subsidiary of DPL).  These sales are classified as wholesale on DP&L’s financial statements and retail sales for DPL.  The kWh volumes contain all volumes distributed on the DP&L system which include the retail sales by DPLER.  The sales for resale volumes are omitted to avoid duplicate reporting

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

See the “Market Risk” section of Item 2.


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures.  These controls and procedures were designed to ensure that material information relating to us and our subsidiaries is communicated to the CEO and CFO.  We evaluated these disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report with the participation of our CEO and CFO.  Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effectiveeffective: (i) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed quarter ended June 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over reporting.


PART IIPart II.  Other Information

Item 1. 1 - Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, we are subject to various lawsuits, actions, proceedings, claims and other matters asserted under laws and regulations.  We believe the Company has been named a defendantamounts provided in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as prescribed by GAAP, for these matters are adequate in light of the probable and estimable contingencies.  However, there can be no assurances that the actual amounts required to satisfy alleged liabilities from various legal actions, including arbitrations, class actionsproceedings, claims, and other litigation. Certainmatters discussed below, and to comply with applicable laws and regulations will not exceed the amounts reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  As such, costs, if any, that may be incurred in excess of the legal actions include claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminatethose amounts provided as of damages. The Company is also involved in other reviews, investigations and proceedings by governmental and self-regulatory organizations regarding the Company’s business. Certain of the foregoing could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief.

Because litigation is inherently unpredictable, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings are in the early stages, the Company cannot predict with certainty the loss or range of loss related to such matters, how such matters will be resolved, when they will be ultimately resolved, or what the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief might be. Consequently, the Company cannot estimate losses or ranges of losses for matters where there is only a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. Although the ultimate outcome of these mattersJune 30, 2007, cannot be ascertained at this time, it is the opinion of management, that the resolution of the foregoing matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company, taken as a whole; such resolution may, however, have a material effect on the operating results in any future period, depending on the level of income for such period.

We have provided reserves for such matters in accordance with SFAS 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” The ultimate resolution may differ from the amounts reserved.reasonably determined.

Certain legal proceedings in which we are involved are discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements and, Part I, Item 1—Environmental Considerations, Item 1—Competition and Regulation, Item 3 and Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included therein of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005; and Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements and Part II, Item 1, included in our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2006.  The following discussion is limited to recent developments concerning our legal proceedings and should be read in conjunction with thosethis earlier reports.report.

Regarding ourExecutive Litigation

On May 21, 2007, we settled the litigation with the three former executives.  As part of this settlement, the three former executives relinquished and dismissed all their claims including those related to certain deferred compensation, restricted stock units (RSUs), MVE incentives, stock options and legal fees. The RSUs and stock options relinquished and forfeited were 1.3 million and 3.6 million, respectively.  Prior to the settlement date, DPL had accrued obligations of approximately $64.2 million of which DP&L had accrued obligations of approximately $60.3 million. Included in these amounts is approximately $3.1 million associated with the forfeiture of stock options.  In exchange for our payment of $25 million, all of these claims were settled.

As a result of this settlement DPL realized a net pre-tax gain in continuing and discontinued operations of approximately $31.0 million and $8.2 million, respectively.  The net gain is comprised of the Company, on July 24, 2006, the trial court set a new trial date commencing April 30, 2007.

On June 24, 2004, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) began an audit of tax years 1998 through 2003 and issued a series of data requests to us including issues raised in the Memorandum.  The staffreversal of the IRS requested that we provide certain documents, including but not limited$64.2 million of accrued obligations less the $25 million settlement.  The obligations related to matters concerning executive/director deferred compensation plans,the discontinued operations were associated with the management stock incentive plansof DPL’s financial asset portfolio which was conducted in our MVE subsidiary.  The MVE operations were discontinued in 2005 with the sale of the financial asset portfolio.  The $25 million settlement expense was allocated between continuing and MVE financial statements.  On September 1, 2005,discontinued operations based on the IRS issued an audit reportproportionate share of continuing and discontinued obligations.  The following table outlines the components of DPL’s net pre-tax gain for tax years 1998 through 2003 that showed proposed changes to our federal income tax liability for eachcontinuing and discontinued operations:

As a result of those years.  The proposed changes resultedthis settlement, DP&L realized a net pre-tax gain in a total tax deficiency, penalties and interestcontinuing operations of approximately $23.9 million as of December 31, 2005.  On November 4, 2005, we filed a written protest to one of the proposed changes.  On April 3, 2006, the IRS conceded the proposed changes that we filed a written protest to and issued a revised audit report for tax years 1998 through 2003.  The revised audit report resulted in a total tax deficiency, penalties and interest of approximately $1.2$35.3 million.  We had previously made a depositAccrued obligations associated with the IRS of approximately $1.3 million that we requested on April 14, 2006 be applied to offsetformer executives’ litigation were recorded by DP&L since the $1.2 million tax deficiency, penalties and interest for tax years 1998 through 2003.  The Joint Committee on Taxation completed its review of the revised audit report for tax years 1998 through 2003 and sent us a letter dated June 16, 2006 stating that it took no exception to the revised audit report.

In November 2005, AMP-Ohio, a wholesale supplier of electricity to its thirteen member municipalities, requested arbitration of its power supply agreement with DP&L.  AMP-Ohio alleged it had a right to receive certain capacity credits.  DP&L disagreed with this position and agreed to arbitrate the dispute.  The arbitration was concluded in May 2006, thus ending any potential negative exposure to our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

On January 13, 2006, we filed a claim against one of our insurers, AEGIS, under a fiduciary policy to recoup legal feesobligations were associated with our litigation against three former executives.  An arbitrationnon-qualified benefit plans. DP&L had no ownership of DPL’s financial asset portfolio business which was discontinued, therefore these liabilities were reversed and DP&L net pre-tax gain was recorded within continuing operations.

The $25 million settlement was funded from the sale of financial assets held in DP&L’s Master Trust Plan for deferred compensation.  As part of this mattertransaction, DPL and DP&L recorded a $3.2 million realized gain which is set to beginreflected in investment income.

Environmental

In September 2004, the Sierra Club filed a lawsuit against DP&L and the other owners of the Stuart Generating Station in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio for alleged violations of the CAA and the Station’s operating permit.  DP&L, on August 4, 2006.  We cannot predictbehalf of all co-owners, is leading the timing or outcomedefense of this arbitration.

A comprehensive listing of risk factors that we consider to be the most significant to your decision to invest in usour stock is provided in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference.  The Form 10-K may be obtained as discussed on page 2, ‘Available Information.Page 4, ‘Website Access to Reports.’  If any of these events occur, our business, financial position or results of operation could be materially affected.  The following risk factors are additions toincluded in our 2005 Annual Report on2006 Form 10-K discussionfor year ended December 31, 2006 has been updated as follows:

Reliance on risk factors.Third Parties

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, consisting primarily

We rely on many third party suppliers and contractors in our energy production, transmission and distribution functions, including the purchase and delivery of carbon dioxide emissions,coal and other inventory, the construction of capital assets, and waste disposal management associated with our production processes (such as bottom ash, fly ash, gypsum).  Unanticipated changes in our purchasing processes, supplier availability, supplier performance and pricing may affect our business and operating results.  In addition, we rely on others to provide professional services, such as, but not limited to, actuarial calculations, internal audit services, payroll processing and various consulting services.

Employees

Approximately 53% our employees are presently unregulated.  Numerous bills have been introduced in Congressunder a collective bargaining agreement.  If we are unable to regulate GHG emissions, butnegotiate future collective bargaining agreements, we could experience work stoppages which may affect its business and operating results.

Item 4 – Submission of Matters to date none have passed.  Future regulationa Vote of GHG emissions is uncertain.  However, such regulation would be expected to impose costsSecurity Holders

DPL held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on our operations.  Such costs could include measures as advanced by various constituencies, including a carbon tax; investments in energy efficiency; installation of CO2 emissions control technology, to the extent such technology exists; purchase of emission allowances, should a trading mechanism be developed; or the use of higher-cost, lower CO2 emitting fuels.  We will continue to make prudent investments in energy efficiency that reduces our GHG emissions intensity.

In August of 2006, an electric supply contract with Wright Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) is set to expire.  WPAFB represents approximately 1% of our annual revenues.  At this time, WPAFB will revert to our standard offer rate until such time as they choose to contract with an alternative supplier.  We are not anticipating a material impact on ourApril 27, 2007 at which security holders elected three directors nominated for three-year terms expiring 2010.  The results of operations if they choose another supplier.the voting were as follows:
