Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.
The Company's earnings on common stock for the third quarter of
1998 were $44.9 million, up $0.8 million from quarterly earnings a year
ago. Year-to-date earnings were $150.1 million, up $11.0 million from
the same period in 1997. Retail sales of electricity increased 6% for the
quarter due to the healthy West Central Ohio economy as well as more
normal summer temperatures.
The financial condition and results of operations for the third
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 are
discussed below.
Financial Condition
- - -------------------
Construction plans are subject to continuing review and are
expected to be revised in light of changes in financial and economic
conditions, load forecasts, legislative and regulatory developments
and changing environmental standards, among other factors. The
Company's ability to complete its capital projects and the reliability
of future service will be affected by its financial condition, the
availability of external funds at reasonable cost and adequate and
timely rate increases.
As of September 30, 1998, the Company's cash and temporary cash
investment balance was $2.4 million. In addition, $206.7 million was
invested in debt and equity financial assets.
DPL Inc. and its subsidiaries have $200 million available through
a Revolving Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement"). As of September
30, 1998, DPL Inc. had no outstanding borrowings under this Credit
Agreement. The Company has authority from the Public Utilities
Commission of Ohio ("PUCO") to issue short-term debt up to
$200 million with a maximum debt limit of $300 million including loans
from DPL Inc. under the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Company
has $97 million available in short-term informal lines of credit. As
of September 30, 1998, the Company had $79.0 million of these informal
lines outstanding and $87.3 million in commercial paper outstanding.
The Company anticipates that it has sufficient capacity to issue
First Mortgage Bonds to satisfy its requirements in connection with
the financing of its construction and refinancing programs during the
five year period 1998-2002.
-8-
Results of Operations
- - ---------------------
Utility service revenues increased by $35.3 million and
$54.3 million, respectively, for the third quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1998. Electric revenues increased $35.7 million
in the third quarter and $73.5 million year-to-date due to increased
sales to residential customers and other utilities. Gas revenues were
lower year-to-date due to mild weather.
Fuel and purchased power increased $11.5 million and
$33.2 million, respectively, from the third quarter and year-to-date
last year as a result of increased retail and wholesale sales.
Gas purchased for resale in the third quarter 1998 decreased
$0.3 million compared to the same quarter 1997 and $12.8 million
compared to year-to-date 1997. Lower sales due to milder weather
caused the variations.
Operation and maintenance expense increased from last year by
$18.7 million for the third quarter and $1.4 million year-to-date.
For the quarter, the increase was due to higher benefit costs,
software development costs, and production expenditures, which were
partially offset by lower insurance and claims costs. The year-to-
date variation was due to higher benefit costs and software
development costs. Lower insurance and claims costs as well as
Company-wide cost containment efforts offset the year-to-date
variation.
Income taxes increased $2.5 million and $17.1 million,
respectively, from the third quarter and year-to-date 1997 primarily
due to higher taxable income.
Issues and Financial Risks
- - --------------------------
This report contains forward-looking statements under the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involved risks and
uncertainties. Although the Company believes that the forward-looking
statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, there can be no
assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be
accurate. The Company undertakes no obligation to re-publish forward-
looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date
hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
The information systems of the Company, like those of most
companies, will be affected to some extent by the year 2000 ("Y2K").
The Company has implemented a plan to remediate Y2K problems in
critical areas by the end of the second quarter, 1999. This
includes all information technology systems, as well as embedded
technology. The Company has inventoried its applications and
equipment, is determining which of those are non-compliant,
-9-
and is simultaneously remediating those situations. The four phases
of the Company's plan - inventory, assess for compliance, remediate
and test - are in various stages of completion. The Company does not
have to complete one phase to begin the next. Remediation is being
accomplished by a combination of methods. In some cases equipment or
software is being modified while in others it is being replaced.
The Company estimates that the cost of remediation for Y2K issues
including hardware and software modifications and consultant expenditures
is $15,000,000. Some of the Company's information technology systems
were already scheduled for replacement and are not included in this
amount, since the scheduled replacement was not accelerated to allow
compliance with Y2K needs.
The Company is working closely with other members of the utility
industry to assure the smooth transition. Telecommunications are needed
for monitoring and control of power systems. Also, the extent of
interdependence among electrical systems creates uncertainty. These
issues affect each utility in the industry and the Company is working
with other utilities, as well as industry and regulatory groups to ensure
that problems are understood and solutions are shared. Among other groups,
the Company is involved with the Y2K efforts of the Electric Power Research
Institute, the North American Reliability Council, and the Edison Electric
Institute.

Part II. Other Information
Item 5. Other Information.
-----------------
Rate Regulation and Government Legislation
- - ------------------------------------------
In January 1997, a twelve member Joint Committee of the Ohio
Senate and House of Representatives was created to explore and
possibly draft retail wheeling legislation. The Committee has
conducted hearings to gather information from energy companies,
regulators, customers and industry experts. The Committee co-chairs
issued a draft report on January 6, 1998 recommending opening the
electric generation market, in the future, to competition for all Ohio
consumers. On March 26, 1998, the Committee co-chairs introduced an
electric deregulation Bill that reflected the recommendations
contained in their report. On September 16, 1998, the Company and the
three other major investor owned utilities in Ohio presented a
comprehensive electric utility restructuring Bill to a working group
of the Committee. The Company is participating in the Committee's
working group to discuss the restructuring process. Due to the
prospects for legislation that would restructure the electric utility
industry, the Company will continue to evaluate its portfolio of
assets to prepare for opportunities in the deregulated environment.
