Exhibit 13 (see appendix for logo description) (see appendix for photo description) (see appendix for logo description) 1994 Annual Report [cover] (see appendix for logo description) Newsflash December 8, 1994 DP&L Selected as Top Electric Company in the Country The Dayton Power and Light Company has been selected as the 1994 Utility of the Year by Electric Light and Power magazine. In a special ceremony today at DP&L's Energy Resource Center, DPL Inc. Chairman Pete Forster received the award from Wayne Beaty, managing editor of EL&P, the electric industry's premiere publication. "This award belongs to you, the employees of DP&L," said Pete. "You are the ones who made it happen. Being selected as Utility of the Year recognizes your hard work, commitment to excellence and quality customer service." EL&P cited DP&L's outstanding performance to customers, employees and shareholders and responsible, caring corporate citizenship as the major factors for the Company's selection as the number one investor-owned utility in the country. DP&L is the 26th recipient of this annual honor. The Company and our 1994 accomplishments will be featured in the December issue of the publication. The Company was also recognized as Utility of the Year at the POWER-GEN AMERICAS '94 conference, December 7, a yearly forum for electric industry leaders to discuss energy issues. "Every employee plays a vital role in making the Company successful," said Pete. "This award is an excellent example of what people can accomplish when they work together as a team toward a common goal." "Now, more than ever, it's important to set our sights on the future and use this award as a stepping stone to reach a higher level of performance in 1995," said Pete.

These relationships are guided by the Board of Directors and Management setting the direction and creating the strategies. These strategies are fulfilled by our employees making it happen and working together with individual communities. Performing responsibly in all these areas leads to greater value for the shareholder. DPL Inc. was formed in 1986 as a holding company. Its principal subsidiary is The Dayton Power and Light Company ("DP&L"). DP&L sells electricity and natural gas to residential, commercial, industrial and governmental customers in a 6,000 square mile area of West Central Ohio, and employs over 3,000 people. Electricity for DP&L's 24 county service area is generated at eight power plants and is distributed to 470,000 retail customers. On a wholesale basis, electric energy is supplied to 12 municipalities. Natural gas service is provided to 290,000 customers in 16 counties. DP&L also provides steam service to 200 customers in downtown Dayton for heating and industrial processing. The corporate offices of DPL Inc. are located at: Courthouse Plaza Southwest Dayton, Ohio 45402 (513) 224-6000 2 Creating The Strategies (see appendix for logo description) Dear Shareholders: Nationally, 1994 saw utility common stock prices being battered by a combination of increases in long-term rates, inflation fears, uncertain economic growth and generally below average dividend and earnings growth over-shadowed by certain change for the utility industry as we know it today. Against this backdrop, at DPL we focused our effort heavily on keeping the stock price up, generating above average earnings, substantially increasing dividends and taking advantage of the healthy economy in our region. Getting our success story out by visiting 20 cities, and talking with over 400 analysts helped us swim against the tide this past year. While the industry total return was off 16%, we finished up 5% with the stock price closing at $20- 1/2. The people who heard our strategy generally agreed that it was right for DPL and many of them, who are long-term investors, bought our stock. In addition, during 1994, our credit ratings were upgraded by all three major rating agencies, including most recently, an upgrade to "AA" by Duff & Phelps. Our basic belief, incorporated in our strategy since 1978, is that we sell a commodity, and a commodity sells on price. The components that support this belief and make DPL successful remain unchanged: - Consistent, superior plant operations and low, but adequate reserves - Closely managed costs and adoption of best practices - Competitive retail electric and gas prices - A growing service area economy - Strong financial performance and a strong balance sheet We also believe that we have to produce a meaningful return to you, our shareholder, every year. We increased our annual dividend rate by six cents a year, or 5.4%, in February 1994 to $1.18 per share and increased it again on January 31, 1995 by six cents, or 5.1%, to $1.24 per share. Our continuing goal is sustainable above average earnings and sustainable above average dividend growth. We finished the year with earnings per share at $1.54 compared to $1.42 last year. A proud moment for DPL and its employees was being named the 1994 Utility of the Year. This achievement reaffirms the public's confidence in us and recognizes our commitment to the communities we serve. We believe, nationally, 1995 could be a lot like 1994. The year will begin with a lot political change, but of unknown impact, and an increasing interest rate environment. We are going to stay with the basics that we know and do well. We like our business and believe in our customers in West Central Ohio. It's a growing, healthy part of America and we are proud to be the energy supplier. The State of Ohio is pro growth with a reasonable balance in government, an experienced utility commission and elected officials committed to growth. Thanks for letting us work for you.

(see appendix for photo description) 6 Making It Happen (see appendix for logo description) Caption: Managing Costs - 2 DPL is recognized as being among the best in the energy industry at managing costs. Employees are key to our success, as all employees are shareholders and have incentive pay tied directly to cost control. DPL Inc. continued to distinguish itself as one of the nation's top-performing energy companies in an extremely challenging year. The formula for success and continued improvement remains simple. Combine a strong West Central Ohio economy with a quality product and excellent customer service to produce solid financial returns for DPL shareholders. The West Central Ohio economy experienced remarkable growth in 1994. Productivity and expansion is on the rise in all sectors of West Central Ohio's diverse economy, including light manufacturing, research and development, high technology, transportation and professional services. This growth means new, value-added jobs for our region which, in turn, supports additional economic development opportunities and expansion. Unemployment in our area was below five percent, well under the national average, reflecting essentially full employment. The economic growth within our service territory continues to outpace state and national performance. This is due, in part, to expansion of already significant operations at General Motors Corporation, Honda of America, Copeland Corporation, Emery Worldwide and Whirlpool Corporation. For the past three years, Ohio ranked first in the nation for new manufacturing facilities and plant expansions, both in square footage and investment dollars. That's better than states such as Texas, North Carolina and California -- and indications are that the state and West Central Ohio will continue this positive trend. We play a major role in developing our customer base and highlighting the strengths of West Central Ohio. Through our energy incentive programs, we have supported the creation of more than 54,000 new jobs since 1986. These initiatives include WorkSmart, which promotes job creation through energy- efficient growth, and TargetSearch, which helps our communities attract new business. In a year when industry stock prices were down significantly, DPL was one of only a few utilities that produced a positive overall return for 1994. Positioning itself as a low-risk investment in an industry currently challenged by uncertainty, DPL followed a financial strategy that provides shareholders with above average earnings and dividend growth. Caption to photograph: Whirlpool, the world's leading manufacturer and marketer of home appliances, announced construction of a new, world-class assembly facility at its Greenville, Ohio division. Currently producing mixers and blenders, the $12.5 million project is expected to add 100 new jobs to the current work force of 350. Selected from 27 potential sites, Greenville and the dedicated loyal work force have proven their ability to consistently build world- class products. (see appendix for photo and logo description) 7 (see appendix for logo description) In 1994, earnings per share rose to $1.54, an increase of 8.5%. Dividends to our shareholders, which have increased seven of the last eight years, were increased six cents to $1.18 per share. And return on shareholders' equity was 14.1%. As measured by the market-to-book ratio, DPL ranks in the top ten nationally in our industry. As an indicator of DP&L's solid financial condition, our credit ratings were upgraded in November 1994 by Duff & Phelps and in March 1994 by both Standard and Poor's and Moody's Investors Service. Duff & Phelps raised our ratings to "AA" from "AA-", our highest rating in more than twenty years. S&P's upgrade to "AA-" was the second two-grade jump for DP&L in two years. DP&L is the only electric utility to achieve such upgrades in the last five years. The Company successfully issued 3.2 million common shares in March 1994 through a public offering in difficult market conditions. The offering was well-received by key institutional buyers and proceeds from the sale of shares were used to redeem 75% of DP&L's outstanding preferred stock. This action saves millions of dollars each year in preferred dividends. DP&L again achieved national recognition for its high standard of excellence in operating performance. In Electric Light and Power magazine's review of 1993 power generation marks at more than 100 utilities, DP&L's heat rate ranked as the second most efficient in the nation. This ranking was our best ever for heat rate, which measures the amount of energy it takes to produce one kilowatt of electricity. DP&L has placed in the top ten nine of the past ten years and in the top five for four consecutive years. Our 1994 heat rate of 9,836 Btu/kWh is expected to again be among the industry leaders. High operational standards and the effective use of resources combined with planned maintenance resulted in an equivalent forced outage rate ("EFOR") of 4.6%. EFOR measures the amount of time that an unplanned outage occurs at a generating unit. Over the past ten years, we saved our customers more than $250 million through our efficiency and productivity improvements. DP&L remains committed to its energy strategy of being an all-coal company. Flexible coal procurement contracts, in terms of cost, quality and volume, are in Caption to artwork: Sidney, Ohio is one of the many thriving West Central Ohio communities known for a quality work force and strong work ethic. DP&L continues to help communities attract new business and works closely with local, regional and state organizations to build partnerships for success in economic growth. (see appendix for artwork description) Caption: Strong Financial Performance - 3 DPL is committed to providing above average financial performance for shareholders. In 1994, 3.2 million Common Shares were issued, with the proceeds used to redeem Preferred Stock of The Dayton Power and Light Company. This action results in preferred dividend savings of $7 million annually. 8 Caption to photograph: Competitive Prices - 4 Airborne Express continues to expand its current operational hub in Wilmington, Ohio to a nightly lift capacity of about three million pounds - with a fleet of nearly 100 aircraft.

As a result, the Company is well-positioned to meet the requirements of the Clear Air Act Amendments, and compliance is expected to have only an insignificant impact on prices. Our employees were put to the test in 1994 when severe weather pushed DP&L's natural gas and electric system capabilities to new levels. This June, DP&L set an all-time peak of 2,824,000 kilowatts of electricity. In January, our electric system set a new winter peak of 2,747,000 kilowatts, and our natural gas customer use was 630,000 MCF, the largest one day usage in over 20 years. During both peaks, there were no forced service curtailments, particularly significant in light of DP&L's low reserve margin of 7% versus an industry average of 20%. Our customers also experienced only minimal weather-related outages. Anticipating the growing energy needs of West Central Ohio, DP&L continues to operate its plants as efficiently as possible and plans to add a small number of peaking units. The new units will be clean, dual-fired combustion turbines that can burn natural gas or low sulfur fuel oil. Because of their small size, the units can be built economically, providing additional flexibility to efficiently meet the increasing energy demands of our customers. The first peaking unit is planned to be operational in Summer 1995. DP&L is uniquely positioned for the future as a full- service electric and natural gas provider. This year, the Company added 53 miles of new gas pipelines in the northern part of our service territory. These additions strengthen the Company's natural gas distribution system and increase customers' supply and transportation options, supporting our regional strength as a total energy provider. Exceeding our customers' expectations continues to be a priority at DP&L and we regularly seek customer feedback on our progress. Our track record of providing quality customer service is confirmed by the results of frequent surveys. To ensure ongoing customer satisfaction, all employees have incentive compensation tied to factors related to quality customer service. To accomplish our customer service goals, we start with the basics. DP&L's 23 customer service centers, located throughout West Central Ohio, ensure our customers receive Caption to photograph: Way To Go, the umbrella name for our energy conservation programs, emphasizes our belief that being energy smart and money wise is definitely the Way To Go!

From there, we take additional steps to offer programs and services that go beyond our customers expectations. DP&L's Way To Go energy conservation program has reached a broad section of our customer base. Over the past two years, more than 100,000 business and residential customers have been introduced to the value of energy efficiency through our energy and money-saving programs that include energy audits, lighting and motor rebates, and workshops. Supporting DP&L's commitment to the customer is our Energy Resource Center which showcases the latest in energy saving technology. In the first year of operation, this state-of- the-art learning center set new standards for customer service within the industry. More than 7,000 customers, including energy professionals, participated in hands-on programs at the Center. DP&L invests in the communities it serves through our education activities and employees' volunteer efforts. In 1994, DPL's "In Concert With the Environment" reached 10,000 future energy users and taught the importance of energy efficiency and protection of the environment. Additionally, 36,000 children learned energy conservation techniques and electricity and natural gas safety from DP&L employee volunteers. DP&L's Way To Go Scholars initiative combines academic excellence with valuable on-the-job experience. Since 1991, DP&L has instituted 11 scholarship programs at area universities and colleges, providing up to 44 students with tuition assistance and cooperative education opportunities each year. In recognition of a defining year of accomplishment for our customers, shareholders and employees, DP&L was named "1994 Utility of the Year" by Electric Light and Power magazine. Looking forward, we will seek out every opportunity for improvement, no matter how small. We are committed to being a full service electricity and natural gas provider that meets our customers' total energy needs -- and we continue to chart a steady financial course to ensure that DPL remains a low-risk investment in the heart of America that provides you, our shareholders, with an above average return on your investment.

The return on shareholders' equity was 14.1% in 1994 compared to 13.7% in 1993 and 13.0% in 1992. In 1994, electric revenues increased 5% with a 2% growth in retail sales reflecting the continued strength of the West Central Ohio economy. In 1993, warm summer temperatures contributed to an 11% increase in electric revenues and a 5% increase in retail sales. Implementation of the second and third steps of the electric rate increase phased in at 6.4% in 1993 and 1994 also caused revenues to increase in both years. (See Financial Statement Note 2.) Gas revenues decreased 3% in 1994. An overall sales increase of 1% reflected strong sales to transportation gas customers despite mild temperatures in late 1994. The 20% increase in gas revenues in 1993 reflected significantly higher gas cost rates and the 6.2% increase in base rates in March 1992. Interest and other income includes interest income associated with federal income tax refunds of $3 million in 1994 and $6 million in 1993. Operating and administrative expenses decreased 13% in 1994 and increased 17% in 1993. Bond redemption costs of $23 million and $9 million were incurred in 1993 and 1992, respectively. Maintenance expense decreased 5% in 1994 and increased 17% in 1993 reflecting changes in the level of planned maintenance programs on the Company's production and distribution equipment. Regulatory assets recorded during the phase-in of electric rates are now being amortized over a seven year recovery period that began in 1994. Additionally, deferred interest charges on the William H. Zimmer Generating Station ("Zimmer") are being amortized at a rate of $3 million annually over the life of the plant. In conjunction with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio ("PUCO")-approved electric phase-in plan, a baseline return on equity of 13% (subject to upward adjustment) was established for DP&L. In the event the return exceeds the allowed return by between one to two percent, then one half of the excess return will be used to reduce the unrecovered cost of demand-side management programs, and any return that exceeds the allowed return by more than two percent will be entirely credited to these programs. Total income taxes increased in 1994 and 1993 resulting from higher pre-tax income. Additionally, in 1993, the corporate tax rate was increased to 35%, increasing income taxes by $3 million. Credit Ratings In late 1994, DP&L's first mortgage bond credit rating was upgraded to "AA" from "AA-" and preferred stock to "AA-" from "A+" by Duff & Phelps. The Company's senior debt credit ratings were also upgraded to "AA-" by Standard & Poor's and to "A1" by Moody's Investors Service earlier in 1994. These upgrades reflect the Company's strong financial performance, cost reductions and competitive position.

During the first quarter of 1992, DP&L's bond, preferred stock and commercial paper ratings were upgraded by all three credit rating agencies, reflecting the positive outcome of the Zimmer coal conversion project and rate settlement agreement. Each of these credit ratings is considered investment grade. Construction Program and Financing Construction additions were $101 million, $89 million and $59 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Construction additions are expected to total $567 million during 1995-1999. The construction program includes plans for the construction of a series of 70 MW combustion turbine generating units, the first of which is scheduled for completion in Summer 1995. During this same period, a total of $85 million will be required for debt maturities and sinking funds for bonds and notes. During 1994, total cash provided by operating activities was $287 million. At year-end, cash and temporary cash investments were $96 million and there were no short-term borrowings. In March 1994, DPL Inc. issued 3,200,000 shares of common stock through a public offering. Proceeds from the sale were used in connection with the redemption of all outstanding shares of DP&L's Preferred Stock Series D, E, F, H and I. During late 1992 and early 1993, DP&L took advantage of favorable market conditions to reduce its cost of debt and extend maturities through early refundings. Overall, five new series of First Mortgage Bonds were issued, aggregating approximately $766 million with an average interest rate of 7.9%. The proceeds were used to redeem a similar principal amount of debt securities with an average interest rate of 8.7%. Issuance of additional amounts of First Mortgage Bonds by DP&L is limited by provisions of its mortgage. The amounts and timing of future financings will depend upon market and other conditions, rate increases, levels of sales and construction plans. DPL Inc. anticipates that it has sufficient capacity to issue DP&L First Mortgage Bonds to satisfy its requirements in connection with its construction and refunding program during 1995-1999. DPL Inc. has a revolving credit agreement, renewable through 1999, which allows total borrowings by DPL Inc. and its subsidiaries of $200 million. At year-end 1994, DPL Inc. had no borrowings outstanding under this credit agreement. DP&L also has $97 million available in short-term lines of credit. At year-end, DP&L had no borrowings outstanding from these lines of credit and no commercial paper outstanding. Issues and Financial Risks As a public utility, DP&L is subject to processes which determine the rates it charges for energy services. Regulators determine which costs are eligible for recovery in the rate setting process and when the recovery will occur. They also establish the rate of return on utility investments which are valued under Ohio law based on historical costs. The utility industry is subject to inflationary pressures similar to those experienced by other capital-intensive industries. Because rates for regulated services are based on historical costs, cash flows may not cover the total future costs of providing services. Projected construction costs over the next five years average $113 million annually, which is less than the projected depreciation over the same period. The National Energy Policy Act allows the federal government to mandate access by others to a utility's transmission system and may accelerate competition in the supply of electricity. In January 1994, DP&L, the Staff of the PUCO and the Office of the Ohio Consumers' Counsel submitted to the PUCO an agreement which resolves issues relating to the recovery of natural gas "transition costs" to be billed to DP&L by interstate pipeline companies. The agreement, which was approved by the PUCO in July 1994, provides for the full recovery of these transition costs from DP&L customers. The interstate pipelines are continuing to file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for authority to recover these transition costs, the exact magnitude of which has not been established. The Federal Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") has notified numerous parties, including DP&L, that they are considered "Potentially Responsible Parties" for clean up of four hazardous waste sites in Ohio. The EPA has estimated total costs of $56 million for its preferred clean-up plans at three of these sites and has not established an estimated cost for the fourth site. The final resolution of these investigations will not have a material effect on DP&L's financial position, earnings or cash flow. Changing environmental regulations continue to increase the cost of providing service in the utility industry. The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (the "Act") limit sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions nationwide. The Act will restrict emissions in two phases with the Phase I compliance completed by 1995 and Phase II completed by 2000. In 1993, the PUCO approved DP&L's Clean Air Act Compliance Plan. This plan outlines the methods by which the emission reduction requirements will be met. Overall compliance is expected to have a minimal 1% to 2% price impact. DP&L anticipates that costs to comply with the Act will be eligible for recovery in future fuel hearings and other regulatory proceedings. 16 CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS DPL Inc.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The accounts of DPL Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements of DPL Inc. principally reflect the results of operations and financial condition of DPL Inc.'s public utility subsidiary, The Dayton Power and Light Company ("DP&L"). DP&L is engaged in the business of selling electric energy, natural gas and steam. The results of operations of DPL Inc.'s non-utility subsidiaries currently do not have a material financial impact on the consolidated results. Revenues and Fuel Revenues include amounts charged to customers through fuel and gas recovery clauses, which are adjusted periodically for changes in such costs. Related costs that are recoverable or refundable in future periods are deferred along with the related income tax effects. Also included in revenues are amounts charged to customers through a surcharge for recovery of arrearages from certain eligible low-income households. DP&L records revenue for services provided but not yet billed to more closely match revenues with expenses. Accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheet includes unbilled revenue of (in millions) $13.1 in 1994 and $30.0 in 1993. Operating and Administrative Operating and administrative expenses include $22.8 million in 1993 and $9.1 million in 1992 of redemption premiums and other costs relating to the refinancing of various bond issues. Property and Plant, Maintenance and Depreciation Property and plant is shown at its original cost. Cost includes direct labor and material, allocable overhead costs and allowance for funds used during construction ("AFC"). AFC is reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations in Interest and other income and amounts to (in millions) $0.5 in 1993 and $0.3 in 1992. When a unit of property is retired, the original cost of that property plus the cost of removal less any salvage value is charged to accumulated depreciation. Maintenance costs and replacements of minor items of property are charged to expense. Depreciation expense is calculated using the straight-line method, which depreciates the cost of property over its estimated useful life, at a rate of 3.4% for 1994, 1993 and 1992. Income Taxes Income taxes are deferred under the liability method in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" effective in 1993. Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are provided for all differences between the financial statement basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rate. Additional deferred income taxes and offsetting regulatory assets or liabilities are recorded to recognize that the income taxes will be recoverable/refundable through future revenues. Investment tax credits, previously deferred, are being amortized over the lives of the related properties. Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows The temporary cash investments presented on this Statement consist of liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Reclassifications Reclassifications have been made in certain prior years' amounts to conform to the current reporting presentation. 20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Regulatory Matters Pursuant to the 1992 PUCO-approved settlement agreement ("Agreement") among DP&L and various consumer groups, the third and final phase of the electric rate increase of 6.4% took effect in January 1994. Deferrals (including carrying charges) during the phase-in period of $28.1 million in 1993 and $57.7 million in 1992 were capitalized as Regulatory assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are being recovered over a seven year period that began in 1994. Amortization, net of additional carrying charges, was $9.8 million in 1994. This settlement included an agreement by DP&L to undertake cost-effective demand-side management ("DSM") programs with an average annual cost of $15 million for four years commencing in 1992. The amount recovered in rates was $4.6 million in 1992. This amount increased to $7.8 million in 1993 and subsequent years. The difference between expenditures and amounts recovered through rates is deferred as a Regulatory asset and is eligible for future recovery in accordance with existing PUCO rulings. Regulatory assets also include interest charges on Zimmer which were previously deferred pursuant to PUCO approval. Amounts are being amortized at $2.8 million per year over the life of Zimmer. Regulatory assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet were: At December 31, $ in millions 1994 1993 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Phase-in $ 75.9 $ 85.8 DSM 31.9 20.3 Deferred interest-Zimmer 61.0 63.7 ----- ----- Total $168.8 $169.8 ===== ===== The Agreement established a baseline return on equity for DP&L of 13% (subject to upward adjustment). In the event that the return exceeds the allowed return by between one to two percent, then one half of the excess return will be used to reduce the unrecovered cost of DSM programs, and any return that exceeds the allowed return by more than two percent will be entirely credited to these programs. ------------------------------------------------------- 3.

Pensions and Postretirement Benefits A. Pensions Substantially all DP&L employees participate in pension plans paid for by the Company. Employee benefits are based on their years of service, age at retirement and, for salaried employees, their compensation. The plans are funded in amounts actuarially determined to provide for these benefits. In developing the amounts in the following tables, an interest rate of 6.25% was used in 1994 and 6.0% was used in 1993 and 1992. Actual returns on plan assets for 1994, 1993 and 1992 were 0.9%, 6.2% and 8.8%, respectively. Increases in compensation levels approximating 5% were used for all years. The following table presents the components of pension cost (portions of which were capitalized): $ in millions 1994 1993 1992 ------------------------------------------------------- Service cost-benefits earned $ 6.1 $5.4 $ 4.3 Interest cost 13.4 12.0 12.5 Expected return on plant assets of 7.5% in each year (18.2) (16.9) (15.2) Net amortization (1.5) (2.0) (2.6) ---------------------- Net pension cost $(0.2) $(1.5) $(1.0) ====================== The following table sets forth the plans' funded status and amounts recorded in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31: $ in millions 1994 1993 ----------------------------------------------------- Plan assets at fair value (a) $247.6 $255.0 Actuarial present value of projected benefit obligation 229.9 230.6 ----------------- Plan assets in excess of projected benefit obligation 17.7 24.4 Unamortized transition obligation (23.8) (28.0) Prior service cost 20.2 22.9 Changes in plan assumptions and actuarial gains and losses 32.8 25.1 ----------------- Net pension assets $ 46.9 $ 44.4 ================= Vested benefit obligation $179.7 $183.9 Accumulated benefit obligation without projected wage increases $211.1 $207.4 (a) Invested in guaranteed investment contracts, fixed income investments and equities including $22.4 million and $22.5 million of DPL Inc. common stock in 1994 and 1993, respectively. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B. Postretirement Benefits Qualified employees who retired prior to 1987 and their dependents are eligible for health care and life insurance benefits. The unamortized transition obligation associated with these benefits is being amortized over the approximate average remaining life expectancy of the retired employees. Active employees are eligible for life insurance benefits, and this unamortized transition obligation is being amortized over the average remaining service period. The following table sets forth the accumulated postretirement benefit amounts at December 31: $ in millions 1994 1993 --------------------------------------------------- Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation: - retirees and dependents $61.4 $63.1 - active employees 1.1 1.2 ---- ---- Total 62.5 64.3 Unamortized transition obligation (24.8) (27.7) Actuarial gains and losses 3.0 - ---- ---- Accrued postretirement benefit liability $40.7 $36.6 ==== ==== The following table presents the components of postretirement benefit cost: $ in millions 1994 1993 --------------------------------------------------- Interest cost $ 3.7 $ 3.7 Net amortization 3.0 3.0 ---- ---- Postretirement benefit cost $ 6.7 $ 6.7 ==== ==== The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the unfunded accumulated postretirement benefit obligation is 15% for 1994 and decreases to 8% by 2004. A one percentage point increase in each future year's assumed health care trend rate would increase postretirement benefit cost by $0.4 million annually and would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $6.1 million. The weighted average discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 6.25% in 1994 and 6.0% in 1993. 22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5. Commonly Owned Facilities DP&L owns certain electric generating and transmission facilities as tenants in common with other Ohio utilities. Each utility is obligated to pay its ownership share of construction and operation costs of each facility.

In March 1994, DPL Inc. issued 3,200,000 shares of common stock through a public offering. The net proceeds from the sale were used in connection with the redemption of all outstanding shares of several series of DP&L's preferred stock. (See Note 9.) DPL Inc. had 2,107,323 authorized but unissued shares reserved for the dividend reinvestment plan at December 31, 1994. The plan provides that either original issue shares or shares purchased on the open market may be used to satisfy plan requirements. DPL Inc. established a leveraged Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") in 1992 to fund matching contributions to the Company's 401(k) retirement savings plan and certain other payments to employees. The ESOP borrowed $90.0 million from DPL Inc. and acquired 4,706,550 shares of common stock on the open market. Common shareholders' equity is reduced for the cost of unallocated shares held by the trust and for 1,496,848 shares related to another employee plan. These shares reduce the number of common shares used in the calculation of earnings per share. Dividends received by the ESOP are used to repay the loan to DPL Inc. As debt service payments are made on the loan, shares are released on a pro-rata basis. Dividends on the allocated shares are charged to retained earnings, and dividends on the unallocated shares reduce accrued interest. In 1994 and 1993, 209,281 shares and 100,498 shares, respectively, were allocated to employees and are outstanding for the calculation of earnings per share. Compensation expense, which is based on the fair value of the shares allocated, amounted to $4.0 million in 1994 and $2.0 million in 1993. DPL Inc. has a Shareholder Rights Plan pursuant to which two-thirds of a Right is attached to and trades with each outstanding DPL Inc. Common Share. The Rights would separate from the Common Shares and become exercisable in the event of certain attempted business combinations. 24 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9.
