(DPLER), which sells retail electric energy under contract to major industrial and commercial customers in West Central Ohio; DPL and DP&L conduct their principal business in one business segment - Electric. Financial Statement Presentation We prepare Pursuant to Estimates, Judgments, Contingencies 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. 12 Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) taxes; regulatory assets and liabilities; reserves recorded for income tax exposures; litigation; Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current reporting presentation. Depreciation Expense and Study Update Depreciation expense is calculated 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. In July 2007, DPL completed a depreciation rate study for non-regulated generation property based on its property, plant and equipment balances as of December 31, 2005, with adjustments for subsequent scrubber additions. The results of the depreciation study concluded that DPL’s depreciation rates should be reduced due to asset lives being extended beyond previously estimated lives. DPL adjusted the depreciation rates for its non-regulated generation property, effective August 1, 2007, reducing depreciation expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the reduction in depreciation expense increased income from continuing operations by $3.8 million, increased net income by approximately $2.4 million and increased earnings per share (EPS) by approximately $0.02 per share. For the period from August 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007, the reduction in depreciation expense will increase income from continuing operations of approximately $9.5 million, increase net income by approximately $5.9 million and increase EPS by approximately $0.06 per share.

Diluted EPS 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). The following table represents common equivalent shares excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because they were anti-dilutive. These shares may be dilutive in the future.

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 pertaining to retirement benefits for certain active, terminated and retired key executives that include The DPL Inc. Supplemental Executive Defined Contribution Retirement Plan (SEDCRP). These liabilities totaled approximately $0.9 million and $0.5 million at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. 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. 19 Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) The net periodic benefit Net periodic benefit cost Pension Postretirement $ in millions 2006 2005 2006 2005 Service cost $ 1.0 $ 0.9 $ — $ — Interest cost 4.3 3.9 0.5 0.5 Expected return on assets (5.5 ) (5.4 ) (0.2 ) (0.1 ) Amortization of unrecognized: Actuarial (gain) loss 0.9 1.0 (0.2 ) (0.1 ) Prior service cost 0.7 0.6 — — Transition obligation — — 0.1 — Net periodic benefit cost before adjustments 1.4 1.0 0.2 0.3 Settlement cost (a) 2.6 — — — Curtailment cost (b) — 0.1 — — Net periodic benefit cost after adjustments $ 4.0 $ 1.1 $ 0.2 $ 0.3 $ in millions Pension Postretirement 2007 2006 2007 2006 Service cost $ 0.2 $ 1.0 $ — $ — Interest cost 4.0 4.3 0.4 0.5 Expected return on assets (a) (5.5 ) (5.5 ) (0.1 ) (0.2 ) Amortization of unrecognized: Actuarial (gain) loss 0.8 0.9 (0.2 ) (0.2 ) Prior service cost 0.6 0.7 — — Transition obligation — — — 0.1 Net periodic benefit cost 0.1 1.4 0.1 0.2 Settlement cost (b) — 2.6 — — Net periodic benefit cost after adjustments $ 0.1 $ 4.0 $ 0.1 $ 0.2 (a) (b) The settlement cost pertains to a former officer (not related to our litigation settlement The net periodic benefit Net periodic benefit cost Pension Postretirement $ in millions 2006 2005 2006 2005 Service cost $ 3.2 $ 2.9 $ — $ — Interest cost 12.5 11.8 1.3 1.4 Expected return on assets (16.3 ) (16.1 ) (0.4 ) (0.4 ) Amortization of unrecognized: Actuarial (gain) loss 2.9 2.9 (0.6 ) (0.6 ) Prior service cost 1.9 1.7 — — Transition obligation — — 0.2 0.1 Net periodic benefit cost before adjustments 4.2 3.2 0.5 0.5 Settlement cost (a) 2.6 — — — Special termination benefit cost (b) 0.3 — — — Curtailment cost (c) — 0.1 — — Net periodic benefit cost after adjustments $ 7.1 $ 3.3 $ 0.5 $ 0.5 $ in millions Pension Postretirement 2007 2006 2007 2006 Service cost $ 2.4 $ 3.2 $ — $ — Interest cost 12.2 12.5 1.1 1.3 Expected return on assets (a) (16.4 ) (16.3 ) (0.3 ) (0.4 ) Amortization of unrecognized: Actuarial (gain) loss 2.6 2.9 (0.7 ) (0.6 ) Prior service cost 1.8 1.9 — — Transition obligation — — 0.1 0.2 Net periodic benefit cost before adjustment 2.6 4.2 0.2 0.5 Settlement cost (b) — 2.6 — — Special termination benefit cost (c) — 0.3 — — Net periodic benefit cost after adjustment $ 2.6 $ 7.1 $ 0.2 $ 0.5 (a) (b) The settlement cost pertains to a former officer (not related to our litigation settlement (c) In 2006, a special termination benefit cost was recognized as a result of 16 employees who participated in a voluntary early retirement program and retired at various dates during 2006; this program was completed as of April 1, 2006. 20 Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) The following estimated benefit payments, which reflect future Estimated Future Benefit Payments $ in millions Pension Postretirement 2006 $ 4.9 $ 0.8 2007 $ 24.6 $ 3.1 2008 $ 19.8 $ 3.0 2009 $ 20.2 $ 3.0 2010 $ 20.7 $ 2.9 2011 $ 20.9 $ 2.7 2012 – 2016 $ 111.9 $ 10.7 $ in millions Pension Postretirement 2007 $ 4.8 $ 0.7 2008 $ 19.8 $ 2.6 2009 $ 20.2 $ 2.6 2010 $ 20.7 $ 2.5 2011 $ 20.9 $ 2.4 2012 — 2016 $ 111.9 $ 10.0 As a result of The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended $ in millions September 30, September 30, 2007 2006 2007 2006 Stock options $ — $ — $ — $ 1.2 Restricted stock units (0.2 ) 0.7 — 1.8 Performance shares 0.5 0.5 1.3 1.3 Restricted shares 0.1 — 0.2 — Non-employee directors’ RSUs 0.1 — 0.2 — Share-based compensation included in operations and maintenance expense 0.5 1.2 1.7 4.3 Income tax expense (0.2 ) (0.5 ) (0.7 ) (1.7 ) Total share-based compensation, net of tax $ 0.3 $ 0.7 $ 1.0 $ 2.6 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 — Our expected volatility assumptions are based on the historical volatility of DPL 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 stock price. 21 Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) Expected Forfeitures — The forfeiture rate used to calculate compensation expense Stock Options In 2000, The schedule of $ in millions Number of Options Weighted-Average Grant Non-vested at January 1, 2006 510,000 $ 2.2 Granted in 1st nine months 2006 — — Vested in 1st nine months 2006 450,000 $ 2.0 Forfeited in 1st nine months 2006 40,000 $ 0.1 Non-vested at September 30, 2006 20,000 $ 0.1 Weighted-Average Number of Grant Date $ in millions (except share amounts) Options Fair Value Non-vested at January 1, 2007 10,000 $ 0.05 Granted in first nine months 2007 — — Vested in first nine months 2007 — — Forfeited in first nine months 2007 — — Non-vested at September 30, 2007 10,000 $ 0.05 Summarized stock option activity was as follows: Nine months Twelve months Options: Outstanding at beginning of year (a) 5,486,500 6,165,500 Granted 0 350,000 Exercised (10,000 ) (1,025,000 ) Forfeited (40,000 ) (4,000 ) Outstanding at end of period 5,436,500 5,486,500 Exercisable at end of period 5,416,000 4,100,000 Weighted average exercise prices per share: Outstanding at beginning of year $ 21.86 $ 21.39 Granted — $ 26.82 Exercised $ 21.00 $ 21.18 Forfeited $ 15.88 $ 29.63 Outstanding at end of period $ 22.02 $ 21.86 Exercisable at end of period $ 20.98 $ 20.98 Nine Months Ended September 30 2007 2006 Options: Outstanding at beginning of year 5,091,500 5,486,500 Granted — — Exercised (520,000 ) (10,000 ) Forfeited (a) (3,620,000 ) (40,000 ) Outstanding at period-end 951,500 5,436,500 Exercisable at period-end 941,500 5,416,000 Weighted-average option prices per share: Outstanding at beginning of year $ 21.95 $ 21.86 Granted $ — $ — Exercised $ 26.83 $ 21.00 Forfeited $ 20.38 $ 15.88 Outstanding at period-end $ 24.08 $ 22.02 Exercisable at period-end $ 24.07 $ 20.98 (a) As a result of the settlement of the former executive litigation on May 21, 2007, 3.6 million outstanding options shown above were forfeited in the second quarter of 2007 and another approximately one million disputed options not shown above were also forfeited. 22 The following table reflects information about stock options outstanding at September 30, Options Outstanding Options Exercisable Range of Exercise Outstanding Weighted- Weighted- Exercisable Weighted- $14.95-$21.00 4,650,000 3.7 years $ 20.43 4,650,000 $ 20.47 $21.01-$29.63 786,500 3.0 years $ 28.01 766,000 $ 28.08 Options Outstanding Options Exercisable Weighted- Weighted- Weighted- Average Average Average Range of Exercise Contractual Exercise Exercise Prices Outstanding Life Price Exercisable Price $ 14.95 - $21.00 625,000 3.3 years $ 20.60 625,000 $ 20.60 $ 21.01 - $29.63 326,500 4.0 years $ 28.83 316,500 $ 28.93 Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, $ in millions 2007 2006 2007 2006 Weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the period $ — $ — $ — $ — Intrinsic value of options exercised during the period $ — $ — $ 2.3 $ 0.1 Proceeds from stock options exercised during the period $ — $ — $ 14.5 $ 0.2 Excess tax benefit from proceeds of stock options exercised $ — $ — $ 0.5 $ — Fair value of shares that vested during the period $ — $ — $ — $ 1.0 Unrecognized compensation expense $ — $ 0.1 $ — $ 0.1 Weighted-average period to recognize compensation expense (in years) 0.3 1.3 0.3 1.3 The following table shows the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton model to calculate the fair value of Number of non-vested shares 10,000 Date of grant December 29, 2004 Expected volatility 26.1 % Weighted-average expected volatility 26.1 % Expected life (in years) 9.9 Expected dividends 4.7 % Weighted-average expected dividends 4.7 % Risk-free interest rate 4.3 % No options were granted RSUs were granted to certain key employees prior to 2001.

The financing is to be used to partially fund the ongoing flue gas desulfurization (FGD) capital projects. On September 13, 2006, the Ohio Air Quality 28 Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) Development Authority (OAQDA) issued $100 million of 4.80% fixed interest rate OAQDA Revenue Bonds 2006 Series A due September 1, 2036. In turn, DP&L borrowed these funds from the OAQDA. These funds were placed in escrow with a trustee and, as of April 3, 2007, DP&L has drawn out the entirety of the funds. DP&L is considering issuing in conjunction with the OAQDA another series of tax-exempt bonds to finance additional qualifying solid waste disposal facility costs at Miami Fort, Killen, Stuart and Conesville generating stations. On November 21, 2006, DP&L During the second quarter ending June 30, 2007, DPL entered into a short-term loan to DP&Lfor $105 million.

DP&L’s long-term debt as of September 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 September 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 lease: As of September 30, 2007, DP&L had a capital lease that expires in September 2010. 30 Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) Operating leases: As of September 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 contract: DP&L has entered into a 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 2007, we recorded an additional $1.6 million in accrued interest resulting in a total reserve for uncertain tax positions of $41.9 million as of September 30, 2007. None of the amount of unrecognized tax benefits is due to uncertainty in the timing of deductibility. Other contractual obligations: As of September 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 September 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 September 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 September 30, 2007, DP&L could be responsible for the repayment of 4.9%, or $34.1 million, of a $695 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, 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: $ in millions 2007 2008 2009 2010 Darby $ 30.6 $ 23.0 $ 15.3 $ 7.7 Greenville $ 14.8 $ 11.1 $ 7.4 $ 3.7 31 Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as prescribed by GAAP, are adequate in light of the probable and estimable contingencies. Employees Approximately 53% of our employees are under a collective bargaining agreement. Environmental Matters On November 18, 2004, the State of New York and seven other states (the States) filed suit against the American Electric Power Corporation (AEP) and its various subsidiaries, alleging various Clean Air Act (CAA) violations at a number of AEP electric generating facilities, including Conesville Unit 4 (co-owned by AEP’s subsidiary Columbus Southern, Duke Energy’s subsidiary Cincinnati Gas & Electric, and us). The case was subsequently consolidated with similar cases brought by the federal EPA and other plaintiffs dating back to 1999, which cases also involved AEP electric generating facilities. On October 9, 2007, AEP filed before the federal district court in Ohio a consent decree executed by AEP, the EPA, the States and the other plaintiffs. The consent decree is a comprehensive and complex settlement of issues presented in the case. It affects us only with respect to Conesville Unit 4, which is made subject to requirements to install Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) units and Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) units by December 31, 2010. Because the co-owners had previously budgeted for such installation, this portion of the settlement does not materially change projected costs. AEP will also be required to operate its power plants, including Conesville Unit 4, to meet specified annual caps across all of the power plants covered by the consent decree. It is expected that AEP will be able to meet those annual cap requirements without materially affecting Conesville Unit 4’s operations beyond the requirements to install and operate SCR and FGD equipment. The consent decree also requires the payment by AEP of a $15 million civil penalty and to incur costs of $60 million in environmental damage mitigation projects. The share of such costs that may ultimately be assigned to Conesville Unit 4 and any further share assigned to us as a co-owner has not been determined but is not expected to be material. The court will provide an opportunity for public comment on the proposed consent decree. After public comment is received, the court will review the proposed consent decree and has the power to accept or reject it. DPL cannot predict when the court will issue a ruling or what that ruling may be. 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 behalf of all co-owners, is leading the defense of this matter. A sizable amount of discovery has taken place, expert reports have been filed by both parties and depositions of experts are expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2007. Dispositive motions are to be filed in January 2008. No trial date has been set. DP&L is unable to determine the impact of this lawsuit, if any, on its overall results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In February 2007, Ohio’s Regional Air Pollution Control Agency (RAPCA), issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) to DP&L with respect to an allegedly failed performance test of one boiler in November 2006 for particulate matter at DP&L’s Hutchings Generating Station. On June 29, 2007, the 32 Notes to the 10. Executive Litigation On May 21, 2007, we settled the litigation with three former executives. As part of this settlement, the three former executives relinquished and As a result of this settlement during the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, DPL realized a net pre-tax gain in continuing and Continuing operations: Reversal of accrued obligations $ 50.8 Allocated settlement expense (19.8 ) Net gain from continuing operations $ 31.0 Discontinued operations: Reversal of accrued obligations $ 13.4 Allocated settlement expense (5.2 ) Net gain from discontinued operations $ 8.2 As a result of this settlement during the Continuing operations: Reversal of accrued obligations $60.3 Allocated settlement expense (25.0 ) Net gain from continuing operations $35.3 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 during the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, DPL and DP&L recorded a $3.2 million realized gain which is 11. Insurance Recovery Claim On April 30, 2007, DP&L executed a settlement agreement for $14.5 million with 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 additional legal fees that DPL and DP&L incurred in defending claims made by the three former executives. 33 Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 12. Regulatory Matters We apply the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 71, “Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation,” (SFAS 71) to our regulated operations.

In February 2005, the PUCO approved a stipulation allowing us to recover certain costs incurred for modifications to our billing system from all customers in our service territory. On March 1, 2006, the PUCO issued an order that allowed us to begin collecting this rider immediately. We 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. 34 Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) Deferred storm costs include costs incurred by us to repair damage from the 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. 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 three-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 from customers over various periods under a PUCO rate rider. 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. 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. Other costs primarily include consumer education advertising regarding electric deregulation and 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 an accrual basis and 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 Cost 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/Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator, Inc. (MISO) region. A hearing was held in early 2006 to determine the amount of these transitional payments. A hearing examiner’s recommendation of August 2006 has been appealed by multiple parties including DP&L. To date, no ruling by the FERC has been issued. We received and paid these transitional payments from May 2005 through March 2006. 13.Ownership of Facilities DP&L and two other Ohio utilities have undivided ownership interests in seven electric generating facilities and numerous transmission facilities. Certain expenses, primarily fuel costs for the generating units, are allocated to the owners based on their energy usage. The remaining expenses, as well as investments in fuel inventory, plant materials, operating supplies and capital additions, are allocated to the owners in accordance with their respective ownership interests.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Certain statements contained in this Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they are made. 36 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. DPL and DP&L now 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; to maximize profits while effectively managing exposure to movements in energy and fuel prices and to 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 DPL’s 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. 37 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&L. DP&L and other interested parties have the right to intervene and offer counter-proposals. UPDATES / OTHER MATTERS Depreciation Expense and Study Update In July 2007, DPL completed a depreciation rate study for non-regulated generation property based on its property, plant and equipment balances as of Updates on Competition and Regulation Ohio Matters Since January 2001, DP&L’s electric customers have been permitted to choose their retail electric generation supplier.DP&L 38 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 On April 4, 2005, DP&L filed a request at the PUCO On September Federal Matters On As a 39 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS DPL, DP&L and our subsidiaries’ facilities and operations are subject to a wide range of environmental regulations and laws by federal, state and local authorities. The environmental issues that •The CAA and state laws and regulations (including State Implementation Plans) require compliance, obtaining permits and reporting as to air emissions. •Litigation with the •Rules issued by the •The Federal Clean Water Act, which prohibits the As well as imposing continuing compliance obligations, these laws and regulations authorize the imposition of substantial penalties for noncompliance, including In addition to the requirements related to emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and mercury noted above, there is a growing concern nationally and internationally about global climate change and the contribution of emissions of greenhouse gases, including most significantly, carbon dioxide. This concern has led to increased interest in legislation at the federal level, actions at the state level, as well as litigation relating to greenhouse gas emissions, including a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision holding that the EPA has the authority to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from motor vehicles under the CAA. Increased pressure for carbon dioxide emissions reduction also is coming from investor organizations and the international community. If legislation or regulations are passed at the federal or state levels imposing mandatory reductions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases on generation facilities, the cost to DPL and DP&L of such reductions could be Basic Earnings Per Share Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, 2006 2005 2006 2005 Earnings from Continuing Operations $ 0.44 $ 0.21 $ 1.06 $ 0.65 Earnings from Discontinued Operations 0.03 — 0.10 0.36 Net Income $ 0.47 $ 0.21 $ 1.16 $ 1.01 40 As more fully discussed in later sections of •For the three months ended September 30, 2007, DPL’s basic and diluted EPS of •For the nine months ended September 30, •DPL’s revenues for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased 8% and 10%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006 primarily due to Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, $ in millions 2006 2005 2006 2005 Revenues $ 392.5 $ 357.4 $ 1,042.6 $ 957.9 Less: Fuel 99.5 101.4 262.3 251.1 Purchased power 61.1 37.4 123.4 103.7 Gross margin $ 231.9 $ 218.6 $ 656.9 $ 603.1 Gross margin as a percentage of revenues 59.1 % 61.2 % 63.0 % 63.0 % Operating income $ 98.5 $ 99.6 $ 257.6 $ 243.8 •DPL’s cash flows from operations were $211.8 million and $212.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. •DP&L’s revenues •DP&L’s cash flows from 41 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — DPL Inc.

This format is useful to DPL — 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 year. Since DPL 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 DPL’s wholesale sales volume each hour of 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. 42 Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, $ in millions 2007 vs. 2006 2007 vs. 2006 Retail Rate $ 13.1 $ 31.0 Volume 6.4 36.9 Other miscellaneous (0.5 ) (0.9 ) Total retail change $ 19.0 $ 67.0 Wholesale Rate $ 0.9 $ 10.5 Volume (9.8 ) (0.2 ) Total wholesale change $ (8.9 ) $ 10.3 Other RTO services $ 19.3 $ 25.7 Other 0.2 0.1 Total other change $ 19.5 $ 25.8 Total revenues change $ 29.6 $ 103.1 For the three months ended September 30, 2007, revenues increased $29.6 million, or 8%, to $422.0 million from $392.4 million for the same period in For the nine months ended September 30, 43 For the three months ended September 30, 2007, gross margin For the nine months ended September 30, DPL — Operation and Maintenance Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, $ in millions 2007 vs. 2006 2007 vs. 2006 Power production costs $ 6.3 $ 19.7 Legal costs (0.8 ) 3.2 Mark-to-market adjustments for deferred compensation (0.8 ) 2.9 Service operations 0.2 2.2 Insurance claims reserves — (3.1 ) Pension expense (3.8 ) (4.5 ) Gain on sale of corporate aircraft — (6.0 ) Insurance settlement — (14.5 ) Other, net 1.8 0.8 Total operation and maintenance expense $ 2.9 $ 0.7 For the For the nine months ended September 30, 44 restoration activities.

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, restricted stock units (RSUs), MVE incentives, stock options and legal fees. As a result of this settlement, during the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, DPL realized a net pre-tax gain in continuing operations of approximately $31.0 million. See Note 10 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, investment income For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, investment income decreased $4.4 million to $9.5 million from $13.9 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 For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, interest expense decreased $17.7 million, or 23%, compared to 2006 primarily from $10.8 million less interest from the redemption of DPL debt ($225 million, 8.25% Senior Notes) and $9.7 million of increased capitalized interest primarily related to increased pollution control capital expenditures. These decreases were partially offset by $3.4 million of interest expense associated with DP&L’s new $100 million, 4.8% Series pollution control bonds issued September 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 — Other Income (Deductions) For the three months ended September 30, 2007, other income of $2.0 million increased from $0.2 million of other deductions for the same period of the prior year For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, other income of $2.6 million increased $2.5 million from $0.1 million for the same period of the prior year primarily resulting from the recognition of a $2.1 million deferred credit related to a litigation settlement (which was not part of the executive litigation settlement). 45 For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, income taxes increased $7.4 million and $28.7 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006, primarily reflecting an increase in pre-tax book income. DPL — Discontinued Operations For the three months ended September 30, 2007, there was no activity relating to discontinued operations resulting in a $3.4 million decrease compared to the same period in For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, discontinued operations decreased $1.0 million compared to the same period in 2006.

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 $13.5 million, or 5%, resulting from a 3% increase in average retail rates primarily relating to the environmental investment rider and a 2% increase in weather driven sales volume as total degree days increased 5%. These increases resulted in an $8.5 million rate variance and a $5.7 million sales volume variance. Wholesale revenues decreased $3.5 million, or 4%, primarily resulting from a 16% decrease in wholesale sales volume, partially offset by a 15% increase in average market rates. The decrease in sales volume resulted in a $15.5 million unfavorable volume variance and increase in average market rates resulted in a $12.0 million favorable rate variance. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the RTO ancillary revenues increased $19.3 million primarily resulting from $13.3 million realized from the PJM capacity auction and $6.0 million of For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, revenues increased $103.0 million, or 10%, to 47 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 and capacity payments under the new RPM construct. RTO ancillary revenues from the PJM capacity auction are substantially offset by RTO ancillary charges for PJM capacity charges included in purchase power. Other RTO ancillary revenues are partially offset by other RTO ancillary charges in purchased power.

This variance was primarily comprised of increased power production maintenance costs of $15.2 million that were mostly related to boiler and turbine maintenance, and other power production operating costs of $4.5 million; increased service operations costs of $2.2 million primarily related to overhead line restoration activities; $1.7 million of increased costs associated with the low-income payment program; and $1.4 million in mark-to-market adjustments related to deferred compensation assets. These 48 increases were partially offset by DP&L — Depreciation and Amortization DP&L — Amortization of Regulatory Assets For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, amortization of regulatory assets increased $3.1 million, compared to the same period in 2006, primarily for the amortization of incremental 2004/2005 severe storm costs that began on August 1, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, investment income increased $2.7 million to $7.5 million from $4.8 million for the same period in 2006. This increase was primarily the result of $3.2 million in realized gains from the sale of financial assets held in DP&L’s Master Trust Plan for deferred compensation used for DP&L — Other Income (Deductions) For the three months ended September 30, 2007, other income of $2.1 million increased from $0.2 million of other deductions for the same period of the prior year primarily resulting from the recognition of a $2.1 million deferred credit related to a litigation settlement (which was not part of the executive litigation settlement). For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, other income of $2.7 increased $2.6 million from $0.1 million from the same period of the prior year primarily resulting from the recognition of a $2.1 million deferred credit related to a litigation settlement (which was not part of the executive litigation settlement). 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 DP&L — Interest Expense For the three months ended September 30, 2007, interest expense decreased $1.6 million compared to the same period of 2006, primarily related to $4.0 million of increased capitalized interest resulting from pollution control capital expenditures at the generating plants, partially offset by increased interest of $1.0 million related to the $100 million 4.8% Series pollution control bonds issued in September 2006 and $1.6 million in interest to DPL on a short-term loan of $90 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, interest expense decreased $3.4 million compared to the same period of 2006, primarily related to $9.7 million of increased capitalized interest resulting from pollution control capital expenditures at the generating plants, partially offset by increased interest of $3.4 million related to the $100 million, 4.8% Series pollution control bonds issued in September 2006; $1.6 million in interest to DPL on a short-term loan of $90 million and $1.1 million of interest related to the $95 million draw on our revolving credit facility. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, income taxes increased $3.1 million and $11.7 million compared to the same periods in 2006, primarily reflecting an increase in pre-tax book income. 49 FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS DPL’s financial condition, liquidity and capital requirements, includes the consolidated results of DP&L and all of DP&L’s consolidated subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. DPL’s Cash Position DPL’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $98.7 million at September 30, 2007, compared to $262.2 million at December 31, 2006, a decrease of $163.5 million. In addition, DPL had restricted funds held in trust at September 30, 2007 of $0.5 million in comparison to $10.1 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily attributed to the retirement of the $225.0 million DPL 8.25% Senior Notes, $250.1 million in capital expenditures and $83.7 million in dividends paid on common stock. The decrease was partially offset by $211.8 million generated from operating activities; $158.4 million from the sale of peaking units and the corporate aircraft; $15.0 million from the exercise of stock options, including tax effects, and $10.1 million of restricted funds drawn to fund pollution control capital expenditures. DP&L’s Cash Position DP&L’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $12.3 million at September 30, 2007, compared to $46.1 million at December 31, 2006, a decrease of $33.8 million. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily attributed to $247.8 million in capital expenditures and $125.0 million in dividends paid on common stock to our parent DPL. These cash outflows were largely offset by $239.6 million in cash generated from operating activities, $90.0 million in a net short-term loan owed to our parent DPL, and $10.1 million in restricted funds drawn to fund pollution control capital expenditures at our generating plants. Operating Activities For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, cash flows from operations were as follows: Net Cash provided by Operating Activities $ in millions 2007 2006 DPL $ 211.8 $ 212.4 DP&L $ 239.6 $ 270.7 The tariff-based revenue from our energy business continues to be the principal source of cash from operating activities. Management believes that the diversified retail customer mix of residential, commercial and industrial classes, coupled with the rate relief approved by the PUCO for 2006 and beyond, provides us with a reasonably predictable cash flow from DPL’s Cash provided by Operating Activities DPL generated net cash from operating activities of $211.8 million and $212.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was primarily the result of operating profitability, partially offset by cash used for working capital. The net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily the result of operating profitability, partially offset by cash used for working capital, specifically taxes. DP&L’s Cash provided by Operating Activities DP&L generated net cash from operating activities of $239.6 million and $270.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was primarily the result of operating profitability, partially offset by an increase in cash used for working capital. The net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily the result of operating profitability. 50 Investing Activities For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, cash flows from investing activities were as follows: Net Cash used for Investing Activities $ in millions 2007 2006 DPL $ (91.7 ) $ (155.9 ) DP&L $ (247.8 ) $ (281.7 ) DPL’s Cash used for Investing Activities DPL’s net cash used for investing activities DP&L’s Cash used for Investing Activities DP&L’s net cash Financing Activities For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, Net Cash (used for)/provided by $ in millions 2007 2006 DPL $ (283.6 ) $ (462.4 ) DP&L $ (25.6 ) $ 22.5 DPL’s Cash (used for)/provided DPL’s net DP&L’s Cash (used for)/provided by Financing Activities DP&L’s net cash used for financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $25.6 million compared to cash provided from financing activities of $22.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Net cash used for financing activities for 2007 was the result of cash used to pay common stock dividends to our parent DPL of $125.0 million and preferred dividends to third parties of $0.7 million, partially offset by $90.0 million for a net short-term loan from our parent DPL and $10.1 million of restricted funds held in trust. Net cash provided by financing activities of $22.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 51 DPL and DP&L have obligations to make future payments for capital expenditures, debt agreements, lease agreements and other long-term purchase obligations. We also have certain contingent commitments such as guarantees. We believe our cash flows from operations, the Capital Requirements DP&L’s construction additions were $273.5 million and $258.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and are expected to approximate $360 million in 2007.

Actual results may differ from those estimates. Recently Issued Accounting Standardsfor Uncertainty in Income TaxesStock-Based CompensationIn December 2004, theOn January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting StandardInterpretation No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R replaces SFAS 123,48, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 (Opinion 25), “Accounting for Stock IssuedUncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). There was no significant impact to Employees.” SFAS 123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received and paid with equity instruments to be based on the fair-value of such equity on the grant date. This cost is recognized inour overall results of operations, overcash flows or financial position. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the perioddate of adoption was $36.8 million and we have recorded $3.5 million (net of tax) of accrued interest. During 2007, we recorded an additional $1.6 million in which employees are required to provide service. Liabilities initially incurred are based onaccrued interest resulting in a total reserve for uncertain tax positions of $41.9 million as of September 30, 2007.

EITF 06-3 indicates that the income statement presentation on either a gross basis or a net basis of the taxes within the scope of the issue is an accounting policy decision. The consensus in this issue should be applied to interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. We are in the process of evaluating EITF 06-3 and have not determined the impact to our overall results of operations, financial position or cash flows.Accounting for Uncertainty in Income TaxesIn July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.

The StandardSFAS 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, the StandardSFAS 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 the Standard, SFAS 157,The StandardSFAS 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 have not yet determined the significance of this new rule to our overall results of operations, financial position or cash flows.Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)In September 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)”(SFAS 158). This Statement requires an employer that is a business entity and sponsors one or more single-employer defined benefit plans to: a.) recognize the funded status of a benefit plan; b.) recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost; c.) measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position; d.) disclose in the notes to financial statements additional information about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition asset or obligation. This Statement is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006 except for the measuring of plan assets at the employer’s fiscal year end which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 158159 and have not yet determined the significance of thisthese new rule to our overall results of operations, cash flows or financial position.Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial StatementsIn September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (Topic 1N): “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (SAB 108). The SEC believes that a registrant should quantify a current year misstatement using both the iron curtain approach and the rollover approach. If the over/understatement of current year expense is material to the current year, after all of the relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, the prior year financial statements should be corrected. Correcting prior year financial statements for immaterial errors would not require previously filed reports to be amended. We are currently evaluating the impact of SAB 108 and have not yet determined the significance of this new rule to our overall results of operations, cash flows or financial position.Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance ActivityIn September 2006, the FASB posted Financial Statement of Position AUG AIR-1 – “Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance Activity” (FSP AUG AIR-1). Previous guidance for planned major maintenance, such as repairing or replacing a boiler, allowed four different methods for accruing for these major repairs. These included direct expense, built-in overhaul, deferral and accrue-in-advance. The FASB has decided that the accrue-in-advance method is no longer valid because it allows a liability to accrue for future charges that may or may not happen. We use the direct expense method for major planned maintenance which calls for expensing the charges as incurred. Since we do not use the accrue-in-advance method, this FSP will have no effectrules on our overall results of operations, financial position or cash flows.Discontinued Operations

Among other closing conditions, each fund required the transaction to be approved by the respective general partner of each fund. During the first quarter of 2005, MVE and MVIC completed the sale of their interests in forty of those private equity funds resulting in a $28.8 million pre-tax gain ($33 million less $4.2 million professional fees) from discontinued operations and provided approximately $747 million in net proceeds, including approximately $56 million in net distributions from funds while held for sale. As part of this pre-tax gain, we realized $30 million that was previously recorded as an unrealized gain as part of other comprehensive income. During the second quarter of 2005, MVE and MVIC sold three and a portion of one private equity funds resulting in a $17.5 million pre-tax gain ($20.1 million less $2.6 million professional fees) from discontinued operations and provided approximately $49 million in net proceeds, including approximately $4.4 million in net cash calls from funds while held for sale.also entered into an alternative closing arrangementarrangements with AlpInvest/Lexington 2005, LLC for the remaining funds where legal title to said funds could not be transferred until a later time.

Earnings per ShareBasic earnings per share (EPS) are based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the year, except in periods where the inclusion of such common equivalent shares is anti-dilutive. We adopted FAS 123R effective January 1, 2006, which changed the calculation of diluted shares as it relates to stock options. This change resulted in diluted shares increasing from the previous methodology by 0.4 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 0.5 million shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.Approximately 0.4 million stock options in the third quarter of 2006 and in the third quarter of 2005, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. Approximately 0.4 million stock options for the nine months ending September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. These stock options could be dilutive in the future.The following table illustrates the reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for net income:a)We are disputing, among other things, approximately 3.6 million stock options and approximately 1.3 million restricted stock units that were outstanding at September 30, 2006 due to our ongoing litigation with certain former executives and that are included above (see Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).5.6.

The Senior Notes will not be redeemable prior to maturity except that we have the right to redeem the notes for a make-whole payment at the adjusted treasury rate plus 0.25%. The 8% series Senior Notes were issued pursuant to our indenture dated as of March 1, 2000, and pursuant to authority granted in our Board resolutions dated March 25, 2004. The notes impose a limitation on the incurrence of liens on the capital stock of any of our significant subsidiaries and require us and our subsidiaries to meet a consolidated coverage ratio of 2 to 1 prior to incurring additional indebtedness. The limitation on the incurrence of additional indebtedness This short-term loan does not apply to (i) indebtedness incurred to refinance existing indebtedness, (ii) subordinated indebtedness and (iii) up to $150 million of additional indebtedness. In addition to the events of default specified in the indenture, an event of default under the notes includes a payment default or acceleration of indebtedness under any other indebtedness of ours or any ofaffect our subsidiaries which aggregates $25 million or more. The purchasers were granted registration rights in connection with the private placement under an Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, we were obligated to file an exchange offer registration statement by July 22, 2004, have the registration statement declared effective by September 20, 2004 and consummate the exchange offer by October 20, 2004. We failed (1) to have a registration statement declared effective and (2) to complete the exchange offer according to this timeline. As a result, we had been accruing additional interest at a rate of 0.5% per year for each of these two violations, up to an additional interest rate not to exceed in the aggregate 1.0% per year. As each violation is cured, the additional interest rate decreases by 0.5% per annum. Our exchange offer registration statement for these securities was declared effective by the SEC on June 27, 2006. As a result, on June 27, 2006, we ceased accruing 0.5% of the additional interest. On July 31, 2006, we ceased accruing the other 0.5% of additional interest when the exchange of registered notes for the unregistered notes was completed. By completing the exchange, we reduced the annual interest expense by $1.8 million.During the first quarter of 2006, the Ohio Department of Development (ODOD) awarded DP&L the ability to issue over the next three years up to $200 million of qualified tax-exempt financing from the ODOD’s 2005 volume cap carryforward. The financing is to be used to partially fund the ongoing flue gas desulfurization (FGD) capital projects. The PUCO approved DP&L’s application for this additional financing on July 26, 2006.On September 13, 2006, the Ohio Air Quality Development Authority (OAQDA) issued $100 million of 4.80% fixed interest rate OAQDA Revenue Bonds 2006 Series A due September 1, 2036. In turn, DP&L borrowed these funds from the OAQDA. Payment of principal and interest on the Bonds when due is insured by an insurance policy issued by Financial Guaranty Insurance Company. DP&L is using the proceeds from these borrowings to assist in financing its portion of the costs of acquiring, constructing and installing certain solid waste disposal facilities comprising air quality facilities at Miami Fort, Killen and Stuart Generating Stations. These facilities are currently under construction and the proceeds from the borrowing have been placed in escrow with the trustee (the Bank of New York) and are being drawn upon only as facilities are built and qualified costs incurred. In the event any of the proceeds are not drawn, DP&L would eventually be required to return the unused proceeds to bondholders. DP&L expects to draw down all of the proceeds from this borrowing over the next year.DP&L expects to use the remaining $100 million of volume cap carryforward prior to the end of 2008. We are planning to issue in conjunction with the OAQDA another $100 million of tax-exempt bonds to finance the remaining solid waste disposal facilities at Miami Fort, Killen, Stuart and Conesville Generating Stations.usDPL, DP&L and ourtheir subsidiaries.

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 September 30, 2007, cannot be reasonably determined.WeDPL, DP&L and our subsidiaries’ facilities and operations are subject to a wide range of environmental regulations and law.

DP&L’s units are subject to the acid rain provisions of the Clean Air Act and the NOx and Ozone Transport rule. All of the SO2 and NOx emissions data submitted to the EPA pursuant to these provisions for 2005 and the first quarter 2006 were recorded and reported in compliance with EPA regulations. Subsequently DP&L detected a malfunction with its emission monitoring system at one of its generation stations and ultimately determined its SO2 and NOx emissions data was under reported. DP&L has petitioned the EPA to accept an alternative methodology for calculating actual emissions for 2005 and the first quarter 2006. The Company has sufficient allowances in its general account to cover the understatement and is working with the EPA to resolve the matter. Management does not believe the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material impact on operating results or financial position. DP&L recordsWe 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, DP&L accrues for the low endContingencies” as discussed in Note 1 of the range.

The RSUs and stock options relinquished and forfeited were 1.3 million and 3.6 million, respectively. Prior to the Consolidated Financial Statementssettlement 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 was 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.Part II, Item 1, includeddiscontinued 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 Form 10-QMVE 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:quarterly periodsecond quarter ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006.2007, 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.

We have reviewed the proposed audit adjustments and are vigorously contesting the ODT findings and notice of assessment through all administrative and judicial means available. On March 29, 2006, we filedpetitions for reassessment with the ODT to protest each assessment as well as request corrected assessments for each tax year. On October 12, 2006, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the ODT that stated if the ODT’s positions are ultimately sustained in judicial proceedings, the total additional tax liability that we would be subject to for tax years 2002 through 2004 would be no more than $50.7 million before interest as opposed to the $90.8 million stated in the ODT’s correspondence of February 13, 2006. We believe we have recorded adequate tax reserves related to the proposed adjustments; however, we cannot predict the outcome, which could be material to our results of operations and cash flows.We are also under audit review by various state agencies for tax years 2002 through 2004. We have also filed an appeal to the Ohio Board of Tax Appeals for tax years 1998 through 2001. Depending upon the outcome of these audits and the appeal, we may be required to increase our tax provision if actual amounts ultimately determined exceed recorded reserves. We believe we have adequate reserves in each tax jurisdiction but cannot predict the outcome of these audits.In September 2006, we became aware of unasserted claimsCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheet under the Fair Labor Standards Act concerningcaption entitled “Other Deferred Credits”.

The case was subsequently consolidated with similar cases brought by the federal EPA and other plaintiffs dating back to 1999, which cases also involved AEP electric generating facilities. On October 9, 2007, AEP filed before the federal district court in Ohio a consent decree executed by AEP, the EPA, the States and the other plaintiffs. The consent decree is evaluating purchase offersa comprehensive and complex settlement of issues presented in the case. It affects us only with respect to Conesville Unit 4, which is made subject to requirements to install Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) units and Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) units by December 31, 2010. Because the co-owners had previously budgeted for threesuch installation, this portion of the settlement does not materially change projected costs. AEP will also be required to operate its peaking generation sites.power plants, including Conesville Unit 4, to meet specified annual caps across all of the power plants covered by the consent degree. It is expected that AEP will be able to meet those annual cap requirements without materially affecting Conesville Unit 4’s operations beyond the requirements to install and operate SCR and FGD equipment. The sites representconsent decree also requires the payment by AEP of a combined capacity$15 million civil penalty and to incur costs of 872 megawatts$60 million in environmental damage mitigation projects. The share of such costs that may ultimately be assigned to Conesville Unit 4 and any further share assigned to us as a net book value of approximately $300 million.

The results of the depreciation study concluded that DPL’s depreciation rates should be reduced due to asset lives being extended beyond previously estimated lives. DPL adjusted the depreciation rates for its non-regulated generation property, effective August 1, 2007, reducing depreciation expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the reduction in depreciation expense increased income from continuing operations by $3.8 million, increased net income by approximately $2.4 million and increased earnings per share (EPS) by approximately $0.02 per share. For the period from August 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007, the reduction in depreciation expense will increase income from continuing operations of approximately $9.5 million, increase net income by approximately $5.9 million and increase EPS by approximately $0.06 per share.On April 4, 2005, filed a request at 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 DP&L’s rate stabilization period through December 31, 2010. During this time, DP&L 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,September 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 in annual net revenues 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 is accounted for in the $65 million net revenue stated above, and 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 Ohio Consumers’ Counsel (OCC) on April 21, 2006. On September 1, 2006, DP&L made a tariff filing to implement the environmental investment rider beginning January 1, 2007.DP&L 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 DP&L’s service territory; however, no bids were received and the 2005 program ended. As part of the RSS Stipulation, DP&L agreed to implement the Voluntary Enrollment Program again in 2006 and 2007. Approximately 25 thousand residential customers have volunteered for the 2006 program. As of October 16, 2006, all four rounds of bids were complete, which resulted in no bids being received. The magnitude of any customer switching and the financial impact of this program in 2007 cannot be determined at this time.As of September 30, 2006, four unaffiliated marketers were registered as CRES providers in DP&L’s service territory; to date,territory. While there has been little activity from these suppliers.some customer switching to date, it represented less than approximately 0.20 percent of sales through the third quarter ending September 30, 2007. DPL Energy Resources, Inc. (DPLER), one of our significant subsidiaries,an affiliated company, is also a registered CRES provider and accounted for substantiallynearly all of the load servedtotal kWh supplied by CRES providers within DP&L’s service territory in 2006.2006 and 2007. In addition, several communities in DP&L’s service area have passed ordinances allowing the communities toIn early 2004, there wascomplaintVoluntary 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. Four rounds of bidding were conducted for the 2007 program resulting in no bids being received. DP&L has completed its obligations under this residential program.concerning the pricing of our billing services. The parties reachedto implement a new rate stabilization surcharge (RSS) effective January 1, 2006 to recover cost increases associated with environmental capital, related operations and maintenance costs and fuel expenses. DP&L entered into a settlement on the price we charge CRES providers for performing billing services. The PUCO issued an Order approving the settlement with minor modifications. This Order gave agreement that extended DP&L the authority to defer costs ofapproximately $16 million plus carrying charges,&L’s rate stabilization period through December 31, 2010 and later request PUCO approvalallowed for recovery of those costs from all customers.certain fuel and environmental investment costs. The PUCO denied applicationsadopted the settlement, but ruled that the environmental rider will be by-passable by all customers who take service from alternate generation suppliers. Applications for rehearing were denied and the deferral case was appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court.Court by the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel. On September 27, 2006, the Supreme Court issued a decision affirming the PUCO’s order in this case. On June 17, 2005, DP&L filed a subsequent case, requesting PUCO approval for recovery of the deferred billing costs plus carrying charges. On March 1, 2006, the PUCO approved DP&L’s recovery of this cost with one minor modification. This new rider is expected to result in approximately $7 million in additional annual revenue beginning March 2006 through 2010. On March 30, 2006, the OCC filed an appeal of this new rider to5, 2007, the Ohio Supreme Court. WithinCourt affirmed the PUCO’s approval of the settlement agreement but remanded one aspect of the order, that appeal, the OCC filed a motionRSS tariff should be part of the Company’s generation tariffs instead of distribution tariffs. The Company will file to stay DP&L’s recovery ofmodify its tariffs accordingly and does not believe this new rider. The motion for stay was subsequently denied by the Court. On October 19, 2006, the OCC filed to dismiss their appeal, but an appeal related to this matter filed by the Ohio Partners for Affordable Energy is still pending.tariff change will impact its future revenues.1, 2005, DP&L filed25, 2007, Senate Bill 221 was introduced in the Ohio Legislature. The bill codifies, in draft form, the governor’s proposed energy policy. As currently drafted, the bill states that the standard service offer currently in effect will continue until a distribution utility files either an application requestingenergy security plan or a market-based alternative by which the retail price will be set by a periodic competitive bid process. In order to file a market-based alternative, the utility has the burden of proof to demonstrate that there is effective competition in its service territory. The PUCO will establish rules for filing an energy security plan which may allow for adjustments to the standard offer for environmental compliance costs, cost of fuel and purchased power, construction costs of new generating facilities or an index price. Once a utility’s energy security plan is approved by the PUCO, grant it authoritythe utility is required to recoverfile an infrastructure improvement plan that will specify the initiatives the utility will take to rebuild, upgrade or replace its distribution infrastructure. The proposed bill establishes a goal that by 2025, twenty-five percent of the generation used to supply standard offer generation service in the state will come from advanced energy resources which may include: renewable energy sources, clean coal technology, advanced nuclear generation, fuel cells and co-generation. It creates a federal energy advocate that will evaluate the costs and benefits associated with storm restoration efforts for ice storms that took place in December 2004Regional Transmission Organizations on behalf of the state. It promotes construction of advanced energy projects by providing low interest loans and January 2005. In February 2006, DP&L filed updated schedules in support of its application. On July 12, 2006,grants; promotes energy efficiency and advanced metering infrastructure investments and directs the PUCO approved DP&L’s filing, allowingto develop reliability performance targets. The outcome of this proceeding and its financial impact on the Company to recover approximately $8.6 million in additional revenues over a two-year period. The OCC filed an application for rehearing in this case that was subsequently denied by the PUCO.On August 28, 2006, the Staff of the PUCO issued a report relating to compliance with the Federal Energy Policy Act of 2005. In that report the Staff makes recommendations to the Commission to implement new rules and procedures relating to net metering, customer generator interconnection, stand by power, time-of-use rates, and renewable energy portfolio standards. DP&L, among others, filed comments on September 18, 2006, and reply comments on October 6, 2006. If adopted by the Commission, these recommendations may result in new regulatory requirements for Ohio investor-owned utilities related to renewable energy standards, fuel sources, automated meter infrastructure, and time differentiated rate options for customers. The financial implications of this matter cannot be determined at this time.July 23, 2003,April 19, 2007, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)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 identifying beneficiaries was set for hearing. On September 14, 2007, DP&L, along with the majority of other stakeholders in PJM, filed a proposed settlement regarding the cost allocation methodology for the new facilities at lower voltages. In addition, on April 19, 2007, the FERC issued an Order relating to the allocation of costs associated with existing transmission servicefacilities, upholding the existing PJM rate design. These Orders are subject to rehearing and the appeal process. The financial impact of seven companies, including the Order to socialize new, high-voltage facilities will be passed on as costs are incurred by utilities constructing such projects and will be reflected in PJM charges to DP&L may. Over time, this Order is likely to increase PJM charges to DP&L. Although the impact of cost allocation could be unjust, unreasonable, or unduly discriminatory or preferential. A number of orders have since been issued on the subject of how best to modifymaterial, management believes these costs should be recoverable through retail rates.result, the FERC ordered utilities to eliminate certain charges and to implement transitional charges, known as Seams Elimination Charge Adjustment (SECA), effective December 1, 2004 through March 31, 2006, subject to refund. Through this proceeding, we are obligated to pay SECA charges to other utilities, but we receive a net benefit from these transitional payments. Beginning May 2005, DP&L began receiving SECA payments and has received over $24.8 million, netmember of SECA charges, through September 2006. Several parties have sought rehearing of the FERC orders which are still pending. The hearing was held in May 2006 and an initial decision was issued on August 10, 2006 that, if upheld by the FERC, would reduce the amount of SECA charges DP&L and other parties are permitted to recover. DP&L, among others, has taken exception to the initial decision. A final FERC order on this issue is expected later this year. DP&L has entered into a significant number of bi-lateral settlement agreements with certain parties to resolve the matter, which by design will be unaffected by the FERC’s decision to affirm, modify or reject the initial decision. DP&L has recorded adequate reserves related to the proposed adjustments; however, DP&L cannot predict the outcome.On May 31, 2005, the FERC instituted a proceeding under Federal Power Act Section 206 concerning the justness and reasonableness of PJM’s transmission rate design. This proceeding sets the rates for hearing and requests that all of PJM, members, which includes DP&L, address the justness and reasonableness of the current rate design. On November 22, 2005, DP&L, 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. DP&L expects a final FERC order on this issue later this year. Due to the comment and appeal process, the potential for adjustments to the initial decision and the complexity of the issues, DP&L cannot determine what effect the final outcome of this proceeding may have on its future recovery of transmission revenues.PJM has a proposal before FERC that may effect the value of ourDP&L’s generation capacity.capacity will be affected by changes in and the clearing results of the PJM capacity construct. The proposalnew construct introduces a new Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) that would changechanges the way generation capacity is priced and planned for by PJM. On September 29, 2006,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. A third auction was held in October 2007 for the 2009/2010 planning year.

In the normal course of business, we have investigatory and remedial activities underway at these facilities to be significantly contributingcomply, or to fine particledetermine compliance, with such regulations. We record liabilities for probable estimated loss in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 (SFAS 5), “Accounting for Contingencies” as discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. DPL, through its captive insurance subsidiary Miami Valley Insurance Company (MVIC), has an actuarial calculated reserve for environmental matters. Weevaluate the potential liability related to probable losses quarterly and ozone pollution in other downwind statesmay revise our estimates. Such revisions 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 reviewestimates 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 willpotential liabilities could have a material effect on our operations, requiring the installation of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) equipment and continual operation of the currently-installed Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) equipment. As a result, DP&L is proceeding with the installation and has 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 FACTORSA comprehensive listing of risk factors that we consider to be the most significant to your decision to invest in our stock is provided in our most recent Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

This increase wasyear by $0.47 and $0.42, respectively.a $0.41 per share increase in Earnings from Continuing Operations reflecting a higher gross margin resulting from the revenue impact of the rate stabilization plan and the regulatory asset recovery riders, no early redemption charges for debt, and lower interest expense, partially offset by higher operation and maintenance expenses, lower investment income and lower other income. This increase was largely offset by a $0.26 per share decrease in Earnings from Discontinued Operations, resulting from the sale of most of the private equity funds in 2005.RESULTS OF OPERATIONSIncome Statement HighlightsRevenuesRevenues increased 10% to $392.5 million in the third quarter of 2006 compared to $357.4 million in the third quarter of 2005 reflecting higher average rates for retail sales and greater wholesale sales volume. These increases were partially offset by lowerweather driven retail sales volume, lowerincrease in average retail rates and the revenue realized from the PJM capacity auctions.

DP&L’s purchased power costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased miscellaneous revenues of $0.5$21.0 million partially offset by decreased sales volume of $9.1and $93.5 million, relating to milder weather experienced in 2006 compared to 2005. The higher average rates were primarilyrespectively, over the result of the rate stabilization plan surcharge and regulated asset recovery riders, most of which were implemented earlysame periods in 2006. Wholesale revenues increased $21.3 million, primarily related to a $24.3 million increase in sales volume relating to higher prescheduled sales and more generation available to sell in the wholesale market due to the reduced retail sales volume. This increase was partially offset by a $3.0 million decrease in average market rates. During the third quarter of 2006, RTO ancillary revenues decreased $1.6 million to $20.6 million$22.2 million in the third quarter of 2005.

This increase was primarily the result of 2006, revenues increased 9% to $1,042.6 million compared to $957.9 million in the first nine months of 2005 primarily reflecting higher average rates for retail and wholesale sales, as well as greater wholesale sales volume. These increases were partially offset by lower retail sales volume relating to the milder weather in 2006 as compared to 2005.In the first nine months of 2006, retail revenues increased $44.1 million compared to the first nine months of 2005, primarily resulting from $64.7 million related to higher average rates and increased miscellaneous revenues of $0.9 million, partially offset by decreased sales volume of $21.5 million resulting from milder weather experienced in 2006 compared to 2005. The higher average rates were primarily the result of the rate stabilization plan surcharge and regulated asset recovery riders implemented throughout 2006. Wholesale revenues increased $39.4 million, primarily related to a $34.7 million increase from higher sales volume reflecting more generation available to sell in the wholesale market due to reduced retail sales volume and better plant availability. A $4.7an increase in RTO ancillary revenue. Retail revenues increased $19.0 million, or 6%, resulting from a 4% increase in average retail rates primarily relating to the environmental investment rider and a 2% increase in weather driven sales volume as total degree days increased 5%. These increases resulted in a $13.1 million rate variance and a $6.4 million sales volume variance. Wholesale revenues decreased $8.9 million, or 14%, primarily resulting from a 16% decrease in wholesale sales volume, partially offset by a 2% increase in average market rates. The decrease in sales volume resulted in a $9.8 million unfavorable volume variance and increase in average market rates also contributed toresulted in a $0.9 million favorable rate variance. For the increase in wholesale revenues. During the first ninethree months of 2006,ended September 30, 2007, RTO ancillary revenues increased $0.5$19.3 million to $55.7primarily resulting from $13.3 million realized from $55.2the PJM capacity auction and $6.0 million of PJM transmission loss credits. RTO ancillary revenues primarily consist of compensation for use of DP&L’s transmission assets, regulation services, reactive supply and operating reserves and capacity payments under the new RPM construct. RTO ancillary revenues from the PJM capacity auction are substantially offset by RTO ancillary charges for PJM capacity charges included in the first nine months of 2005. Heating degree-days were down 10% to 3,173 forpurchase power. Other RTO ancillary revenues are partially offset by other RTO ancillary charges in purchased power.2006 compared2007, revenues increased $103.1 million, or 10% to 3,538$1,145.6 million from $1,042.5 million for the same period in 2005. Cooling degree-days were down 20%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 $67.0 million resulting from a 4% increase in weather driven sales volume as total degree days increased 14% and a 4% increase in average retail rates primarily relating to 845 for the firstenvironmental investment and storm recovery riders. These increases resulted in a $36.9 million sales volume variance and a $31.0 million rate variance. Wholesale revenues increased $10.3 million, or 8%, primarily resulting from an 8% increase in average market rates. The increase in average market rates resulted in a $10.5 million favorable rate variance.

As a percentage of total revenues, however, gross margin decreased 2.1 percentage points to 59.1% from 61.2%. Fuel costs remained relatively stable in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the same period of the prior year, decreasing only $1.9 million or 2%. Purchased power costs, however, were $23.7 million or 63% higher in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in 20052006 primarily resulting from higher purchased power volume due to less generation being available to source power sales resulting$17.6 million realized from scheduled maintenancethe PJM capacity auction, $8.7 million of PJM transmission losses and forced outages,congestion credits and $2.3 million from the sale of financial transmission rights (FTRs), partially offset by lower average market rates and loweran adjustment of $2.8 million for Seams Elimination Cost Adjustment (SECA).

These decreases were largely offset by higher property taxes resulting from a property tax assessment related to property previously treated as abated under an Enterprise Zone agreement, as well as higher taxes from the new State of Ohio Commercial Activities Tax that began in July 2005.Amortization of Regulatory AssetsFor the quarter ended September 30, 2006, amortization of regulatory assets was $1.8 million higher than the same period in 2005 primarily reflecting $0.9 million for the amortization of costs incurred to modify the customer billing system for unbundled rates and electric choice bills; $0.4 million for the amortization of PJM administrative fees deferred for the period October 2004 through January 2006; and $0.4 million for the amortization of incremental costs incurred in 2004 and 2005 for severe storms.2006, amortization2007, gross margin of regulatory assets$677.6 million increased $3.7$20.7 million, or 3%, from $656.9 million during the same period of 2006. As a percentage of total revenues, gross margin decreased to 59.1% in 2007 compared to 63.0% in 2006. This result primarily reflects the prior year primarily reflecting $1.8favorable impact of both retail and wholesale revenues discussed above and lower fuel costs offset by increased purchased power costs. Fuel costs, which include coal, natural gas, oil and emission allowance costs, decreased by $11.7 million, or 4%, for the amortization of costs incurred to modify the customer billing system to accommodate unbundled rates and electric choice bills; $1.0 million for the amortization of deferred PJM administrative fees; $0.4 million for the amortization of deferred severe storm costs incurred in 2004 and 2005; and $0.3 million for the amortization of costs incurred to integrate DP&L into the PJM system. DP&L received orders from the PUCO in the first quarter of 2006 approving the recovery of the customer billing costs and PJM administrative fees through rate riders beginning March 2006 and February 2006, respectively. In July 2006, DP&L received a PUCO order approving the recovery of the incremental storm costs through a rate rider beginning in August 2006. The customer billing costs rate rider is expected to be in place for five years, the PJM administrative fee rate rider is expected to collect deferred costs over a three-year period, and the storm costs rate rider is expected to be in place for two years.Investment IncomeInvestment income decreased $30.8 million during the third quarter of 2006 asnine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2005 resulting from2006. This decrease was primarily due to a $23.4 million decline4% decrease in gains on investments reflecting the sale of the public equity and income funds in 2005,generation output and a $7.1 million decrease in interest income resulting from lower cash and cash equivalents.Investment income decreased $30.7average fuel prices. Purchased power increased $94.1 million duringfor the first nine months of 2006 asended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 reflecting $58.8 million of increased charges relating to higher purchased power volume, an $18.2 million increase due to higher average market rates and $16.2 million related to RTO ancillary charges for PJM capacity charges. 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 reflecting a $23.8 million decrease in investment income due to planned and unplanned outages. In addition, we purchase power when market prices are below the 2005 sale ofmarginal costs associated with our higher cost generating facilities. The RTO ancillary charges for PJM capacity charges are substantially offset by RTO ancillary revenues for PJM capacity resulting in minimal impact to gross margin.public equityquarter ended September 30, 2007, operation and income fund investments, a $4.6 million decrease in foreign currency translation gains following the 2005 liquidation of investments denominated in Euros, and a $2.5 million decrease in interest income resulting from lower cash and cash equivalents.Interest ExpenseInterestmaintenance expense decreased $9.2increased $2.9 million, or 27% for the third quarter of 20065%, compared to the same period in 20052006 primarily resulting from increased power production maintenance costs of $4.0 million that were largely related to boiler and turbine maintenance and other power production operating costs of $2.3 million. These increases were offset in part by a $3.8 million decrease in pension expense resulting primarily from lower interest of $6.3a $1.1 million associated with the early redemption of a portion of our long-term debt, the refinancing of DP&L’s pollution control bonds at a lower interest rate,2007 actuarial study adjustment and the eliminationrecognition of the interest penalty on our $175$2.6 million 8% series Senior Notes that resulted from the delayed exchange offer registration of those securities.

This variance was primarily comprised of increased power production maintenance costs of $15.1 million that were mostly related to boiler and turbine maintenance and other power production operating costs of $4.6 million; increased legal costs of $3.2 million primarily related to the litigation with the three former executives; $2.9 million in 2005, interestmark-to-market adjustments related to deferred compensation assets and increased service operations costs of $2.2 million primarily related to overhead linedeclined $33.4 million or 30%resulting primarily from lower interest of $26.1a $1.1 million associated with the early redemption of a portion of our long-term debt; the refinancing of DP&L’s pollution control bonds at a lower interest rate;2007 actuarial study adjustment and the eliminationrecognition of the interest penalties on our $175$2.6 million 8% series Senior Notesin 2006 for a lump sum distribution to a former officer.DP&L’s $470 million 5.125% series First Mortgage Bonds that resulted from the delayed exchange offer registration of those securities, respectively. Greater capitalized interest of $8.0 million related to increased pollution control capital expenditures also contributed to the decrease in interest expense. See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.Charge for Early Redemption of DebtAmortizationDuring the third quarter of 2005, we recorded a $59.1 million charge resulting from premiums paid for the early redemption of debt, including the write-off of unamortized debt expense and debt discounts.

This increase was 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 $55.8 million resulting from a 4% increase in weather driven sales volume as total degree days increased 14% and a 3% increase in average retail rates primarily relating to the environmental investment and storm cost recovery riders. These increases resulted in a $32.5 million sales volume variance and a $24.2 million rate variance.

The increase in average market rates resulted in a $21.9 million favorable rate variance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the RTO ancillary revenues increased $25.7 million compared to the same period in 2006 primarily resulting from $17.6 million realized from the PJM capacity auction, $8.7 million of PJM transmission losses and congestion credits and $2.3 million from the sale of financial transmission rights (FTRs), partially offset by an adjustment of $2.8 million for Seams EliminationDP&L — Margins, Fuel and Purchased Power

Through August 21, 2006, we repurchased a total of 14.9 million shares at a cost of $400.0 million, including 0.4 million shares at a cost of $10.6 million that were repurchased in December and settled in January 2006. These Board-authorized repurchase transactions resulted in 14.9 million shares being repurchased, or 11.7% of the outstanding stock at December 31, 2005 at an average price of $26.91 per share. These shares are currently held as treasury shares.The following details the year-to-date activity in treasury shares:Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $189.9 million at September 30, 2006,2007 compared to $595.8 million at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $405.9 million. In addition, we had no short-term investments available for sale at September 30, 200658.6% in comparison to $125.8 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments available for sale was primarily attributed to $283.9 million in capital expenditures, $400.0 million used for the purchase of treasury shares and $85.7 million in dividends paid on common stock, partially offset by $212.4 million in cash generated from operating activities.During the third quarter of 2005, we began investing in Auction Rate Securities (ARS).

In our Form 10-Q, as of June 30, 2007, we reported our estimated capital spending to be approximately $675 million. This increase is due primarily to increases in capital projects at DPL operated generating plants. Our ability to complete our capital projects and the reliability of future service will be affected by our financial condition, the availability of internal funds and external funds atthe reasonable cost and adequate and timely return on these capital investments.of external funds. We expect to finance our construction additions in 20062007 with a combination of cash on hand, short-term financing, tax-exempt debt and internally-generated funds.cash flows from operations.At September 30,DP&L is considering issuing in conjunction with the Ohio Air Quality Development Authority (OAQDA) another series of tax-exempt bonds to finance the remaining solid waste disposal facility costs at Miami Fort, Killen, Stuart and Conesville generating stations.our scheduled maturitiesDP&L entered into a new $220 million unsecured revolving credit agreement replacing its $100 million facility. This new agreement has a five year term that expires on November 21, 2011 and provides DP&L with the ability to increase the size of long-termthe facility by an additional $50 million at any time. The facility contains one financial covenant: DP&L’s total debt including capital lease obligations, over the next five years are $0.2 million for the remainder of 2006, $225.9 million in 2007, $100.7 million in 2008, $175.7 million in 2009 and $0.7 million in 2010.

However, management believes that DP&L continues to have sufficient capacity to issue first mortgage bonds to satisfy its requirements in connection with its construction programs. The amounts and timing of future financings will depend upon market and other conditions, interest rate increases, levels of electric sales and construction plans.In March 2004, we completed$175short-term loan to DP&L for $105 million. DP&L paid down $15 million private placement of unsecured 8% series Senior Notes due March 2009. The Senior Notes will not be redeemable prior to maturity except that we havethis loan during the right to redeem the notes forthird quarter, leaving a make-whole payment at the adjusted treasury rate plus 0.25%. The 8% series Senior Notes were issued pursuant to our indenture dated ascurrent outstanding loan balance of March 1, 2000, and pursuant to authority granted in our Board resolutions dated March 25, 2004. The notes impose a limitation on the incurrence of liens on the capital stock of any of our significant subsidiaries and require us and our subsidiaries to meet a consolidated coverage ratio of 2 to 1 prior to incurring additional indebtedness. The limitation on the incurrence of additional indebtedness$90 million. This short-term loan does not apply to (i) indebtedness incurred to refinance existing indebtedness, (ii) subordinated indebtednessand (iii) up to $150 million of additional indebtedness. In addition to the events of default specified in the indenture, an event of default under the notes includes a payment default or acceleration of indebtedness under any other indebtedness of ours or any ofaffect our subsidiaries which aggregates $25 million or more. The purchasers were granted registration rights in connection with the private placement under an Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, we were obligated to file an exchange offer registration statement by July 22, 2004, have the registration statement declared effective by September 20, 2004 and consummate the exchange offer by October 20, 2004. We failed (1) to have a registration statement declared effective and (2) to complete the exchange offer according to this timeline. As a result, we had been accruing additional interest at a rate of 0.5% per year for each of these two violations, up to an additional interest rate not to exceed in the aggregate 1.0% per year. As each violation is cured, the additional interest rate decreases by 0.5% per annum. Our exchange offer registration statement for these securities was declared effective by the SEC on June 27, 2006. As a result, on June 27, 2006, we ceased accruing 0.5% of the additional interest. On July 31, 2006, we ceased accruing the other 0.5% of additional interest when the exchange of registered notes for the unregistered notes was completed. By completing the exchange, we reduced the annual interest expense by $1.8 million.DP&L has a $100 million unsecured revolving credit agreement that is renewable annually and expires on May 30, 2010. This facility may be increased up to $150 million. The facility contains one financial covenant: DP&L total debt to total capitalization ratio is not to exceed 0.65 to 1.00. This covenant is currently met. DP&L had no outstanding borrowings under this credit facility at September 30, 2006. Fees associated with this credit facility are approximately $0.2 million per year. Changes in credit ratings, however, may affect fees and the applicable interest rate for DP&L’s revolving credit agreement.During the first quarter of 2006, the Ohio Department of Development (ODOD) awarded DP&L the ability to issue over the next three years up to $200 million of qualified tax-exempt financing from the ODOD’s 2005 volume cap carryforward. The financing is to be used to partially fund the ongoing FGD capital projects. The PUCO approved DP&L’s application for this additional financing on July 26, 2006.On September 13, 2006, the Ohio Air Quality Development Authority (OAQDA) issued $100 million of 4.80% fixed interest rate OAQDA Revenue Bonds 2006 Series A due September 1, 2036. In turn, DP&L then borrowed these funds from the OAQDA. Payment of principal and interest on the Bonds when due is insured by an insurance policy issued by Financial Guaranty Insurance Company. DP&L is using the proceeds from these borrowings to assist in financing its portion of the costs of acquiring, constructing and installing certain solid waste disposal facilities comprising air quality facilities at Miami Fort, Killen and Stuart Generating Stations. These facilities are currently under construction and the proceeds from the borrowing have been placed in escrow with the trustee (the Bank of New York) and are being drawn upon only as facilities are built and qualified costs incurred. In the event any of the proceeds are not drawn, DP&L would eventually be required to return the unused proceeds to bondholders. DP&L expects to draw down all of the proceeds from this borrowing over the next year.DP&L expects to use the remaining $100 million of volume cap carryforward prior to the end of 2008. We are planning to issue in conjunction with the OAQDA another $100 million of tax-exempt bonds to finance the remaining solid waste disposal facilities at Miami Fort, Killen, Stuart and Conesville Generating Stations.On February 17, 2006, DP&L renewed its $10 million Master Letter of Credit Agreement for one year with a financial lending institution.

There may be exchanges of allowances between future years to balance our 2006-2010 position.control upgrades. We do not expect to purchase SO2allowances outright for 2006.2007. The exact consumption of SO2 and NOx allowances 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 andare forecasted to increase approximately 5%be flat in 2007 compared to 2006. This forecast assumes coal prices will increase approximately 10% in 2006 compared to 2005 and increase approximately 5% in 2007 compared to 2006.2006,2007, a hypothetical increase or decrease of 10% in DPL’sannual fuel and purchased power costs excluding RTO services, could result in approximately a $29$34 million decrease or increase to annual net income, assuming no increases or decreases in sales revenues. As of September 30, 2007, a hypothetical increase or decrease of 10% in DP&L’s annual fuel and purchased power costs could result in approximately a $35 million decrease or increase to annual net income.income, assuming no increases or decreases in sales revenues.privately-heldprivately held secured and unsecured notes and debentures with fixed interest rates.

In connection with the United States of America (GAAP).The preparation of these financial statements, in conformity with GAAP requires usour management 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.estimates and judgments includeinclude: 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; the valuation of reserves recorded for income tax exposures; litigation; regulatory proceedings and orders;related to current litigation and assets and liabilities related to employee benefits. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed quarter ended September 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over reporting.Part II. Other InformationPART IIhave been named a defendantare subject to various lawsuits, actions, proceedings, claims and other matters asserted under laws and regulations. We believe the amounts 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. We are also involved in other reviews, investigations and proceedings by governmental and self-regulatory organizations regarding our 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, we 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, 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 mattersSeptember 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 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.reasonably determined.We have provided reserves for such matters in accordance with SFAS 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” The ultimate resolution may differ from the amounts reserved.1415 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and, Part I, Item 3,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 periods ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. The following discussion is limited to recent developments concerning our legal proceedings and should be read in conjunction with thosethe earlier reports.report.On January 13, 2006, we filed a claim against one of our insurers, Associated Electric & Gas Insurance Services (AEGIS), under a fiduciary liability policy to recoup legal fees associated with our litigation against three former executives. An arbitration of this matter was held on August 4, 2006. The arbitration panel ruled on or about September 12, 2006 that the AEGIS policy does not require an advance of defense expenses to us. Rather, the arbitration panel stated that we are required to file a written undertaking as a condition precedent to repay expenses finally established not to be insured. We have filed a written undertaking with AEGIS and will continue to pursue resolution of the claim through mediation and arbitration in 2007.On February 13, 2006, we received correspondence from the Ohio Department of Taxation (ODT) notifying us that ODT has completed their examination and review of our Ohio Corporation Franchise Tax Returns for tax years 2002 through 2004 and that the final proposed audit adjustments result in a balance due of $90.8 million before interest and penalties. We have reviewed the proposed audit adjustments and are vigorously contesting the ODT findings and notice of assessment through all administrative and judicial means available. On March 29, 2006, we filed petitions for reassessment with the ODT to protest each assessment as well as request corrected assessments for each tax year. On October 12, 2006, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the ODT that stated if the ODT’s positions are ultimately sustained in judicial proceedings, the total additional tax liability that we would be subject to for tax years 2002 through 2004 would be no more than $50.7 million before interest as opposed to the $90.8 million stated in the ODT’s correspondence of February 13, 2006. We believe we have recorded adequate tax reserves related to the proposed adjustments; however, we cannot predict the outcome, which could be material to our results of operations and cash flows.EnvironmentalWe are also under audit review by various state agencies for tax years 2002 through 2004. We have also filed an appeal to the Ohio Board of Tax Appeals for tax years 1998 through 2001. Depending upon the outcome of these audits and the appeal, we may be required to increase our tax provision if actual amounts ultimately determined exceed recorded reserves. We believe we have adequate reserves in each tax jurisdiction but cannot predict the outcome of these audits. 2006, we became aware of an unasserted claim under the Fair Labor Standards Act concerning the calculation of overtime rates for our unionized workforce. We will vigorously oppose these claims, if asserted against us. However, if we do not prevail, the cost to the Company would be in the range of $0-$3.5 million.On September 21, 2004, the Sierra Club filed a lawsuit against us 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 Clean Air Act (CAA). On October 13, 2006, and pursuantthe 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, expert reports have been filed by both parties and depositions of experts are expected to an approved procedural schedule,occur in the Sierra Clubfourth quarter of 2007. Dispositive motions are to be filed an amended complaint setting forth additional actions taken by us that the Sierra Club alleges were also in violation of the CAA. We are currently reviewing that amended complaint and will vigorously defend our actions. The case is currently in discovery; aJanuary 2008. No trial date has not been set.DP&L is unable to determine the impact of this lawsuit, if any, on its overall results of operations, financial position or cash flows.Item1A. Item 1a — Risk Factorson page 2, ‘Available Information.in section, ‘Website Access to Reports.’ If any of thesethe listed 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 discussion on risk factors.Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, consisting primarily of carbon dioxide emissions, are presently unregulated. Numerous billsfor year ended December 31, 2006 have been introducedupdated as follows:Congressour energy production, transmission and distribution functions including: the purchase and delivery of coal and other inventory; the construction of capital assets and waste disposal management associated with our production processes (such as bottom ash, fly ash and 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 regulate GHG emissions,provide professional services, such as, but not limited to, date none have passed. Future regulation of GHG emissions is uncertain. However, such regulation would be expected to impose costs on our operations. Such costs could include measures as advanced byactuarial calculations, internal audit services, payroll processing and 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.consulting services.Wright Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) represents approximately 1%annual revenues. WPAFB has the rightemployees are under a collective bargaining agreement. If we are unable to select another competitive retail electric supplier to meet its generating needs. Effective August 2006, WPAFB secures its generation under the DP&L standard offer rate until such time as they choose to contract with an alternative supplier. If this occurs, thisnegotiate future collective bargaining agreements, we could impact our results of operations.We are currently constructing flue gas desulfurization (FGD) facilities at five units located at our J. M. Stuart and Killen Electric Generating Stations. Construction of the FGD facilities at each unit is scheduled to be completed in phases commencing mid-year 2007 through 2008. We are also co-owners of electric generating stations operated by other investor-owned utilities, who are in various stages of constructing FGD facilities at these stations. Significant construction delays could adverselyexperience work stoppages which may affect our ability to operate or may substantially increase our cost to operate these electric generating stations under federal environmental lawsbusiness and regulations that become effective in 2010. For those electric generating stations where we are co-owners but do not operate, significant construction delays may substantially increase our pro rata share of the cost to operate those facilities beginning in 2010.operating results.Annually, PJM, the regional transmission organization that provides transmission services for a large portion of the Midwest United States, performs a review of the capital additions required to provide reliable electric transmission services throughout its territory. PJM allocates the costs of constructing these facilities to the applicable entity that will benefit from the new construction. FERC is authorized to provide rate recovery to utilities for the costs they incur to construct these transmission facilities. To date, we have not been required to construct any new facilities nor have we been assigned any costs as a result of PJM’s annual review, but there is no guarantee that we will not be assigned some costs or be required to construct facilities in the future.6.
