Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.     Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

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

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

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

Financial Statement Presentation

We prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States of America.  The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statementscondensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DPL and DP&L and their majority-owned subsidiaries.  Investments that are not majority owned are accounted for using the equity method when our investment allows us the ability to exert significant influence, as defined by GAAP.  Undivided interests in jointly-owned generation facilities are consolidated on a pro rata basis.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.  Interim results for the three months and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2007 may not be indicative of our results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2007.

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

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.  Different estimates could haveWe 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 material effectprobable loss can only be estimated by reference to a range of equally probable outcomes and no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue for the low end of the range.  Because of uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based on the best information available at the time.  We evaluate the potential liability related to probable losses quarterly and may revise our financial results.estimates.  Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of these estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or circumstances.circumstances that may affect our financial position and results of operations.  Significant items subject to such 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; the valuation allowances for receivables and deferred income

12



Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

taxes; regulatory assets and liabilities; reserves recorded for income tax exposures; litigation; contingencies and assets and liabilities related to employee benefits.  Actual results may differ from those estimates. 

Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current reporting presentation.


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.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

On January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) 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.  OurDuring 2007, we recorded an additional $1.6 million in accrued interest resulting in a total reserve for uncertain tax positions is $40.3of $41.9 million as of January 1,September 30, 2007.  None of the amount of unrecognized tax benefits isare due to uncertainty in the timing of deductibility.

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

Taxes

Our tax returns for calendar years 2004 -through 2006 remain open to examination by the jurisdictions in which we are subject to taxation.

Accounting for Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities

WeIn January 2007, we adopted EITFEmerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 06-036-03 “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement” in January 2007.(EITF No. 6-03).  EITF No. 06-036-03 requires a registrant to disclose how taxes collected from customers are presented in the financial statements, i.e., gross or net.  DP&L collects certain excise taxes levied by state or local governments from its customers. DP&L’s excise taxes are accounted for on a gross basis and recorded as revenues in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated StatementsStatement of Results of Operations for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2007 and March 31,September 30, 2006 as follows:

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Accounting for Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (SFAS 157) effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value.  SFAS 157 clarifies the principalprinciple that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the assestasset or liability.  In support of this principle, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those standards.  The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, for example, the reporting entity’s own data.  Under SFAS 157,

13



Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy.  SFAS 157 does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances.  In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS 159) effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain warranty and insurance contracts at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis.  We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 and SFAS 159 and have not yet determined the significance of these new rules toon our overall results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

2.     Earnings per Share

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

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

On February 13, 2005, DPL’s subsidiaries, MVE and MVIC, entered into an agreement to sell their respective interests in forty-six private equity funds to AlpInvest/Lexington 2005, LLC, a joint venture of AlpInvest Partners and Lexington Partners, Inc.  Sales proceeds and any related gains or losses were recognized during 2005 as the sale of each fundof these funds closed.  Among other closing conditions, each fund required the transaction to be approved by the respective general partner of each fund.  During 2005, MVE and MVIC completed the sale of their interests in forty-three and a portion of  another of those private equity funds resulting in a $46.6 million pre-tax gain ($53.1 million less $6.5 million professional fees) from discontinued operations and provided approximately $796 million in net proceeds.

During 2005, MVE entered into alternative closing arrangements with AlpInvest/Lexington 2005, LLC for the remaining funds where legal title to said funds could not be transferred until a later time.  Pursuant to these arrangements, MVE transferred the economic aspects of the remaining private equity funds, consisting of two funds and a portion of one fund, to AlpInvest/Lexington 2005, LLC without a change in ownership of the interests.  The alternative arrangements resulted in a 2005 deferred gain of $27.1 million.  DPL recognized $18.9 million and provided approximately $72 million in net proceeds on these funds.  We recorded an impairment loss of $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2005 to write down assets transferred pursuant to the alternative arrangements to estimated fair value.  A portion of the deferred gain was recognized in 2006 in the amount of $18.9 million withand the remaining portion of the gain, $8.2 million, beingwas recognized in the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 as all legal and economic considerations relating to the alternative closing arrangements were satisfied.  Legal title to the final fund subject to the alternative arrangement was transferred in the third quarter ended September 30, 2007.

As a result of the May 21, 2007 settlement of the litigation with three former executives (see Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), the three former executives relinquished all of their rights to certain deferred compensation, RSUs, MVE incentives, stock options and reimbursement of legal fees.  The reversal of accruals related to the performance of the financial asset portfolio were recorded in discontinued operations.  Additionally, a portion of the $25 million settlement expense was allocated to discontinued operations.  These transactions resulted in a net gain of $8.2 million being recorded in discontinued operations related to the settlement of the executive litigation in the second quarter ending June 30, 2007.

In 2007 and 2006, DPL has separately disclosed the earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, which in prior periods were reported with elements of continued operations.

Regulatory Assets5.     Asset Sales

 

We evaluate our regulatory assets each period and believe recoverySale of these assets is probable.  We have received or requested a return on certain regulatory assets for which we are currently recovering or seeking recovery through rates.

Deferred recoverable income taxes represent deferred income tax assets recognized from the normalization of flow-through items as the result of amounts previously provided to customers.  Since currently existing temporary differences between the financial statements and the related tax basis of assets will reverse in subsequent periods, deferred recoverable income taxes are amortized.

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Regulatory Liabilities

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

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

SECA (Seams Elimination Charge Adjustment) net revenue subject to refund represents the deferral of net SECA revenue accrued in 2005 and 2006.  SECA revenue and expenses represent FERC-ordered transitional payments to replace the through-and-out transmission rates that were eliminated within the PJM/MISO region.  A hearing was held in early 2006 to determine the amount of these transitional payments.  As of March 31, 2007,  no ruling has been issued.  We received and paid these transitional payments from May 2005 through March 2006.

6.     Assets Held for SaleCorporate Aircraft

In connection with DPLE’s (significantOn June 7, 2007, Miami Valley CTC, Inc. (indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of DPL)decision to sell, sold its corporate aircraft and associated inventory and parts for $7.4 million. The net book value of the Greenville Stationassets sold was approximately $1.0 million and Darby Station electric peaking generation facilities,severance and other costs of approximately $0.4 million were accrued. Miami Valley CTC, Inc. recorded a net gain on the sale of approximately $6.0 million during the second quarter ending June 30, 2007, which is included in DPL’s operation and maintenance expense.

Sale of Peaking Units

During the fourth quarter of 2006, DPL recorded a $71.0 million impairment charge forthat included the Greenville Stationfair market value write-down of the peaking unit assets, accrued legal fees and Darby Station assets duringother costs associated with the fourth quarter of 2006. Priorsale. There were no material costs or adjustments to the $71.0 million impairment charge Greenville Station had a net book valueupon consummation of approximately $66 million and Darby Station had a net book of approximately $156 million.  Greenville Station consists of four natural gas peaking units and Darby Station consists of six natural gas peaking units.

7.6.     Pension and Postretirement Benefits

We sponsor a defined benefit plan for substantially all full-time employees. For collective bargaining employees, the defined benefits are based on a specific dollar amount per year of service. For all other employees, the defined benefit plan is based primarily on compensation and years of service. We fund pension plan benefits as accrued in accordance with the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). In addition, we have a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) for certain active and retired key executives. Benefits under this SERP have been frozen and no additional benefits can be earned. We also have unfunded liabilities relatedpertaining to retirement benefits for certain active, terminated and retired key executives (not related to our ongoing litigation with three former executives) that include The DPL Inc. Supplemental Executive Defined Contribution Retirement Plan (SEDCRP). These liabilities totaled approximately $0.8$0.9 million and $0.5 million at March 31, 2007.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.

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

Per FAS 123R,

Determining Fair Value

Valuation and Amortization Method — We estimate the fair value of stock options and RSUs are valued using a Black-Scholes-Merton model,model; performance shares are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation andsimulation; restricted shares are valued at the market price on the day of grant.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.

OptionsNotes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

Expected Forfeitures — The forfeiture rate used to calculate compensation expense is based on DPL’s historical experience, adjusted as necessary to reflect special circumstances.

Stock Options

On April 26, 2006, DPL’s shareholders approved The DPL Inc. 2006 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (EPIP). With the approval of the EPIP, no new awards will be granted under The DPL Inc. Stock Option Plan, but shares relating to awards that are forfeited or terminated under The DPL Inc. Stock Option Plan may be granted under the EPIP.granted.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

In addition, RSUs were granted to certain key employees prior to 2001. As a result of the settlement of the former executive litigation, all disputed RSUs were forfeited by the three former executives. There were 1.3 million22,976 RSUs outstanding as of March 31,September 30, 2007, none of which only $0.1 million have nothas vested. Substantially all of the vested RSUs are in dispute as part of our ongoing litigation with Peter H. Forster, formerly DPL’s Chairman; Caroline E. Muhlenkamp, formerly DPL’s Group Vice President and Interim Chief Financial Officer; and Stephen F. Koziar, Jr., formerly DPL’s Chief Executive Officer and President.  The remaining 0.1 million non-vested RSUs will be paid in cash upon vesting and will vest as follows: 20,097 in 2007; 14,68811,253 in 2008; 10,2057,878 in 2009;2009 and 5,0083,845 in 2010.  Vested RSUs are marked to market each quarter and any adjustment to compensation expense is recognized at that time. Non-vested RSUs are valued quarterly at fair value using the Black-Scholes-Merton model to determine the amount of compensation expense to be recognized. Non-vested RSUs do not earn dividends.

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

As of September 30, 2007 and 2006, liabilities recorded for outstanding RSUs were $0.6 million and $35.7 million, respectively, which are included in “Other deferred credits” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The decrease in the liability is due to the executive litigation settlement and the forfeiture of 1.3 million RSUs (see Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Performance Shares

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

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

Limestone contracts:contract:

DP&L has entered into various limestone contractsa 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 March 31,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 March 31,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 March 31,September 30, 2007, there was $65 millionwere no outstanding borrowings under this credit agreement due on May 29, 2007 at 5.63% interest.facility.

Guarantees:

DP&L owns a 4.9% equity ownership interest in an electric generation company.  As of March 31,September 30, 2007, DP&L could be responsible for the repayment of 4.9%, or $21.8$34.1 million, of a $445$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, DPL Energy, LLC (DPLE)DPLE regarding the pending 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:

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.  However, there can be no assurances that the actual amounts required to satisfy alleged liabilities from various legal proceedings, 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 March 31,September 30, 2007, cannot be reasonably determined.

Employees

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

Environmental Matters

DPL, DP&L and our subsidiaries’ facilities and operations are subject to a wide range of environmental regulations and law.  In the normal course of business, we have investigatory and remedial activities underway at these facilities to comply, or to determine compliance, with such regulations.  We have been identified, either by a government agency or by a private party seeking contribution to site clean-up costs, as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at two sites pursuant to state and federal laws.  We record liabilities for probable estimated loss in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 (SFAS 5), “Accounting for Contingencies.”  To the extent a probable loss can only be estimated by reference to a range of equally probable outcomes, and no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue for the low endContingencies” as discussed in Note 1 of the range.  Because of uncertainties relatedNotes to these matters, accruals are based on the best information available at the time.Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  We evaluate the potential liability related to probable losses quarterly and may revise our estimates.  Such revisions in the estimates of the potential liabilities could have a material effect on our results of operations and financial position.

Former Executive Litigation

 

Cumulatively through MarchOn 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, 2007, we have accrued2010.   Because the co-owners had previously budgeted for accounting purposes, obligationssuch installation, this portion of approximately $61the 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 reflect claims regarding deferred compensation, estimated MVE incentives and/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 legal feesreject it.  DPL cannot predict when the court will issue a ruling or what that certain former executives assert are payable per contracts.  We dispute the former executives’ entitlement to any of those sums and are pursuing litigation against them contesting all such claims.

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 Clean Air Act (CAA)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, and expert reports have been filed by both parties and depositions of experts are scheduledexpected to be filed at various times from May through Septemberoccur in the fourth quarter of 2007.  Dispositive motions are to be filed in January 2008.  No trial date has been set yet.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 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) Region V, issued a NOV to DP&L with respect to the same performance test and with respect to earlier tests for particulates conducted in 1996 and 1998 for a different boiler at the same station.  Representatives from DP&L met with officials from US EPA Region V and RAPCA on July 24, 2007 to discuss the referenced performance tests, subsequent performance tests, and past and planned operations at the Station.  DP&L is unable to predict at this time what further actions, if any, will be taken by the US EPA or RAPCA with respect to these NOVs.

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 dismissed all their claims including those related to certain deferred compensation, RSUs, MVE incentives, stock options and legal fees. The RSUs and stock options relinquished and forfeited were 1.3 million and 3.6 million, respectively.  Prior to the settlement date, DPL had accrued obligations of approximately $64.2 million of which DP&L had accrued obligations of approximately $60.3 million.  Included in these amounts 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.

As a result of this settlement during the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, DPL realized a net pre-tax gain in continuing and discontinued operations of approximately $31.0 million and $8.2 million, respectively.  The net gain is comprised of the reversal of the $64.2 million of accrued obligations less the $25 million settlement.  The obligations related to the discontinued operations were associated with the management of DPL’s financial asset portfolio, which was conducted in our MVE subsidiary.  The MVE operations were discontinued in 2005 with the sale of the financial asset portfolio.  The $25 million settlement expense was allocated between continuing and discontinued operations based on the proportionate share of continuing and discontinued obligations.  The following table outlines the components of DPL’s net pre-tax gain for continuing and discontinued operations:

As a result of this settlement during the second quarter ended June 30, 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.  The following table outlines the components of DP&L’s net gain:

The $25 million settlement was funded from the sale of financial assets held in DP&L’s Master Trust Plan for deferred compensation.  As part of this transaction during the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, DPL and DP&L recorded a $3.2 million realized gain which is reflected in investment income.

11.  Insurance Recovery Claim

On April 2,30, 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously overturned the rulings of two lower courts and concluded that the CAA’s New Source Review (NSR) requirements are triggered when a major physical or operational change at a facility results in an increase in the facility’s annual emissions (Environmental Defense et al, v. Duke Energy Corp. et al.).  The outcome of this case is significant to DP&L because it eliminates one of DP&L’s major arguments in the lawsuit filed against it by the Sierra Club .  The Court decided that an annual rate of emissions could be used to determine if major modifications have been made toexecuted a plant as opposed to an hourly emission rate as Duke had argued.  Using the annual rate makes it more likely that most plant modifications will be found to be “major” modifications, thus requiring EPA permits.  DP&L can still defend against the allegations of NSR violations if it can establish that the activities at issue did not cause total annual emissions to increase or that the projects that resulted in increased emissions were undertakensettlement agreement for routine maintenance, repair and replacement activities.

11. Subsequent Events

Sale of Peaking Units

On April 25, 2007, DPL Energy, LLC, completed the sale of its Darby and Greenville electric peaking generation facilities providing DPL$14.5 million with approximately $151.2 million in cash.  Darby Station was sold to Columbus Southern Power, a utility subsidiary of American Electric Power (AEP), for approximately $102 million in cash. Greenville Station was sold to Buckeye Power, Inc. for approximately $49.2 million in cash.

The sale proceeds will be used to pay down short-term borrowings and fund DP&L's major construction projects.

Darby station has a summer capacity of 450 megawatts and is located 20 miles southwest of Columbus, Ohio and Greenville station has a summer capacity of 200 megawatts and is located in Greenville, Ohio. With the closing of these sales, DPL owns approximately 950 megawatts of peaking generation and 2,800 megawatts of coal-fired generation.

Insurance Recovery Claim

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 a portion of legal fees associated with our litigation against three former executives.  This was recorded as a reduction to operation and maintenance expense during the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.

On April 17-18,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.

(a)F — Recovery of incurred costs plus rate of return.

C — Recovery of incurred costs only.

B — Balance has an offsetting liability resulting in no impact on rate base.

Regulatory Assets:

We evaluate our regulatory assets each period and believe recovery of these assets is probable.  We have received or requested a return on certain regulatory assets for which we are currently recovering or seeking recovery through rates.

Deferred recoverable income taxes represent deferred income tax assets recognized from the normalization of flow-through items as the result of amounts previously provided to customers.  Since currently existing temporary differences between the financial statements and the related tax basis of assets will reverse in subsequent periods, deferred recoverable income taxes are amortized.

Pension and postretirement benefits represent the unfunded benefit obligation related to the transmission and distribution areas of our electric business.  We have historically recorded these costs on the accrual basis, and these costs have been historically recovered through rates.  This factor, combined with the historical precedents from the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), makes future rate recovery of these costs probable.

Electric Choice system costs represent costs incurred to modify the customer billing system for unbundled rates and electric choice bills relative to other generation suppliers and information reports provided to the state administrator of the low-income electric program.  In February 2005, the PUCO approved a stipulation allowing us to recover certain costs incurred for modifications to 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.  As of September 30, 2007, DP&L and AEGIS mediatedhad $334.0 million of construction work in progress at such facilities.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

This report includes the combined filing of DPL Inc. (DPL) and The Dayton Power and Light Company (DP&L).  DP&L is the principal subsidiary of DPL providing approximately 99% of DPL’s total consolidated revenue and approximately 89%93% of DPL’s total consolidated asset base.  Throughout this report, the terms we, us, our and ours are used to refer to both DPL and DP&L, respectively and altogether, unless the context indicates otherwise.  Discussions or areas of this report that apply only to DPL or DP&L will clearly be noted in the section.  Historically, DPL and DP&L have filed separate SEC filings.  Beginning with the 2006 Form 10-K and in the future, DPL and DP&L willnow 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,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 management.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,(DPLE), one of ourDPL’s wholly-owned subsidiaries)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.

We operate and manage transmission 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 asas: 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.  The role of the RTO is to administer an electric marketplace and ensure reliability of the transmission grid.  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,grid; administers the world’s largest competitive wholesale electricity marketmarket; 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 FERC.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 various entities operating within PJMPJM’s members, including DP&LDP&L and other interested parties have the right to intervene and offer counter-proposals.

UPDATES / OTHER MATTERS

SaleImpact of Peaking UnitsAEP Settlement

On April 25, 2007, DPL Energy, LLC, completedNovember 18, 2004, the saleState of its DarbyNew York and Greenville electric peaking generation facilities providing DPL with approximately $151.2 million in cash.  Darby Station was sold to Columbus Southern Power, a utility subsidiary ofseven other states (the States) filed suit against the American Electric Power Corporation (AEP), and 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 approximately $102such 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 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 consent decree also requires the payment by AEP of a $15 million civil penalty and to incur costs of $60 million in cash. Greenville Station was soldenvironmental damage mitigation projects.  The share of such costs that may ultimately be assigned to Buckeye Power, Inc.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 approximately $49.2 million in cash.

The sale proceedspublic comment on the proposed consent decree.  After public comment is received, the court will be usedreview the proposed consent decree and has the power to pay down short-term borrowings and fund DP&L's major construction projects.

Darby station hasaccept or reject it.  DPL cannot predict when the court will issue a summer capacity of 450 megawatts and is located 20 miles southwest of Columbus, Ohio and Greenville station has a summer capacity of 200 megawatts and is located in Greenville, Ohio. With the closing of these sales, DPL owns approximately 950 megawatts of peaking generation and 2,800 megawatts of coal-fired generation.ruling or what that ruling may be.

 

Insurance Recovery ClaimDepreciation Expense and Study Update

On January 13, 2006, we filedIn July 2007, DPL completed a claim against onedepreciation rate study for non-regulated generation property based on its property, plant and equipment balances as of our insurers, Associated Electric & Gas Insurance Services (AEGIS), under a fiduciary liability policyDecember 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 recoup legal fees associated with our litigation againstasset 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 former executives.  On April 17-18,months ended September 30, 2007, DP&Lthe reduction in depreciation expense increased income from continuing operations by $3.8 million, increased net income by approximately $2.4 million and AEGIS mediatedincreased earnings per share (EPS) by approximately $0.02 per share.  For the issueperiod 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 reached a settlement in which AEGIS agreed to pay DP&L $14.5 million for legal fees incurredincrease EPS by DP&L associated with our litigation against three former executives. The settlement agreement was signed and executed on April 30, 2007.approximately $0.06 per share.

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 continues to have the exclusive right to provide delivery service in its state certified territory.  The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) maintains 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 the provision of retail electric service.

On April 4, 2005, DP&L filed a request with the PUCO to 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 agreement that extended DP&L’s rate stabilization period through December 31, 2010.  During this time, DP&L will continue to provide 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:

·                  A rate stabilization surcharge equal to 11% 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 beginning January 1, 2007 equal to 5.4% of generation rates, with incremental increases equal to 5.4% each year through 2010.  Based on 2004 sales, this rider is expected to result in approximately $35 million in annual net revenues beginning January 2007, growing to approximately $140 million by 2010.

·                  An increase to the residential generation discount from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2008, which is expected to result in a revenue decrease of approximately $7 million per year for three years, based on 2004 sales.  The residential discount 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.  Thus, future additional revenues are dependent upon actual sales and levels of customer switching.  Applications for rehearing were denied and the case was appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court by the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel.  Oral argument was heard by the Supreme Court on April 17, 2007.  The Company cannot predict whether the Ohio Supreme Court will affirm the PUCO’s approval of the RSS Stipulation, affirm it in part subject to modifications, or reject it.  The decision of the Ohio Supreme Court is pending.

As of March 31,September 30, 2007, four unaffiliated marketers were registered as Competitive Retail Electric ServicesService (CRES) providers in DP&L’s service territory.  While there has been some customer switching to date, it represented less than 0.15approximately 0.20 percent of sales in 2006.through the third quarter ending September 30, 2007.  DPL Energy Resources, Inc. (DPLER), an affiliated company, is also a registered CRES provider and accounted for nearly all of the total 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 to

become government aggregators for the purpose of offering alternative electric generation supplies to their citizens.  To date, none of these communities have aggregated their generation load.

DP&L agreed to implement a Voluntary Enrollment Program (VEP) that would provide customers with an option to choose a competitive supplier to provide their retail generation service should switching not reach 20% in each customer class.  The 20% threshold has never been reached.  Customers who elected to participate in the program have been grouped together and collectively bid out to CRES providers.  The first of fourFour rounds of bidding were conducted for the 2007 program was conducted in April resulting in no bids being received.  To date,DP&L has completed its obligations under this residential program.

On April 4, 2005, DP&L filed a request at the VEP processPUCO to 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 agreement that extended DP&L’s rate stabilization period through December 31, 2010 and allowed for recovery of certain fuel and environmental investment costs.  The PUCO adopted 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 case was appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court by the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel.  On September 5, 2007, the Ohio Supreme Court affirmed the PUCO’s approval of the settlement agreement but remanded one aspect of the order, that the RSS tariff should be part of the Company’s generation tariffs instead of distribution tariffs.  The Company will file to modify its tariffs accordingly and does not believe this tariff change will impact its future revenues.

On September 25, 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 energy 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 resultedthe burden of proof to demonstrate that there is effective competition in zero customer switching.  Future period effectsits 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, the utility is required to file 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 Regional Transmission Organizations on behalf of the state.  It promotes construction of advanced energy projects by providing low interest loans and grants; promotes energy efficiency and advanced metering infrastructure investments and directs the PUCO to develop reliability performance targets.  The outcome of this proceeding and its financial impact on the Company cannot be determined at this time.

On August 28, 2006, the Staff of the PUCO issued a report relating to compliance with the Federal Energy Policy of 2005.  In that report the Staff made 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 and reply comments.  On March 28, 2007, the PUCO issued a Finding and Order that established new requirements for Ohio investor owned utilities related to distribution interconnection standards and net metering programs.  It initiates further discussions at the Commission on topics such as renewable energy standards, fuel source requirements, automated meter infrastructure and time differentiated rate options for customers.  DP&L cannot predict the potential cost that may be associated with any new regulations that may be adopted as a result of these proceedings.

On April 3, 2007, the PUCO issued proposed revisions to the Commission’s minimum electric service and safety standards.  These rules govern a variety of utility operations such as maintenance programs, new construction, meter reading and distribution circuit performance.  The proposed changes impact customer service requirements, reliability reporting and distribution inspection and maintenance programs, as well as increase the penalty the Commission may invoke if a utility is found to be in violation of these rules.  DP&L may experience an increase in distribution operation and maintenance expense associated with the new rules.  However, the  amount of said increase is unknown at this time.  The Company and other stakeholders will have an opportunity to offer comments and reply comments prior to finalization of the new rules.


Federal Matters

On April 19, 2007, the FERC issued an Order with regard to the allocation of costs associated with new planned transmission facilities.  FERC ordered that the cost 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 has beenwas set for hearing.  AlsoOn 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 facilities, upholding the existing PJM rate design.  These Orders are subject to rehearing and the appeal process.  The financial impact of 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.  Over time, this Order is currently evaluatinglikely to increase PJM charges to DP&L.  Although the potential financial impactsimpact of the Orders.cost allocation could be material, management believes these costs should be recoverable through retail rates.

As a member of PJM, the value of DPL’sDP&L’s generation capacity will be affected by changes in and the clearing results of the PJM capacity construct.  The new construct introduces a new Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) that will changechanges the way generation capacity is priced and planned for by PJM. DP&L, along with most of the parties relating to the case, entered into a settlement agreement that generally retains the RPM concept as proposed by PJM, with certain modifications.  The settlement was approved by the FERC on December 21, 2006.  PJM held its first RPM auction induring 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.  DP&L does not expect anya material changes in forecastedimpact on its results of operations, financial resultsposition or cash flows due to the outcome of this auction.  Additional auctions will be held during 2007 for the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 planning years.  The financial impact of these auctions is unknown and will depend on a number of factors including projections made by PJM as well as market participant bidding behavior.three auctions.

DP&L provides transmission and wholesale electric service to thirteen municipal customers in its service territory.  Municipalities, in turn, distribute electricity principally within their incorporated limits.  Approximately 1% of total electricity sales in 2006 represented sales to these municipalities.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

DPL, DP&L and our subsidiaries’ facilities and operations are subject to a wide range of environmental regulations and laws.laws by federal, state and local authorities.  The environmental issues that may impact us include:

The CAA and state laws and regulations (including State Implementation Plans) require compliance, obtaining permits and reporting as to air emissions.

Litigation with the federal and certain state governments and certain special interest groups regarding whether modifications to or maintenance of certain coal-fired generating plants required additional permitting or pollution control technology, and/or whether emissions from coal-fired generating plants cause or contribute to global climate changes.

Rules issued by the US and state EPA that require substantial reductions in SO2, mercury and NOx emissions.  DPL is installing (and has installed) emission control technology and is taking other measures to comply with required reductions.

The Federal Clean Water Act, which prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States except pursuant to appropriate permits. In July 2004, the US EPA adopted a new Clean Water Act rule to reduce the number of fish and other aquatic organisms killed at once-through cooled power plants.

Solid and hazardous waste laws and regulations, which govern the management and disposal of certain wastes. The majority of solid waste created from the combustion of coal and fossil fuels is fly ash and other coal combustion byproducts, which the EPA has determined are not hazardous waste subject to Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).

As well as imposing continuing compliance obligations, these laws and regulations authorize the imposition of substantial penalties for noncompliance, including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. In the normal course of business, we have investigatory and remedial activities underway at these facilities to comply, or to determine compliance, with such regulations.  We record liabilities for probable estimated loss in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 (SFAS 5), “Accounting for Contingencies.”  To the extent a probable loss can only be estimated by reference to a range of equally probable outcomes, and no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue for the low endContingencies” as discussed in Note 1 of the range.  Because of uncertainties relatedNotes to these matters, accruals are based on the best information available at the time.Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  DPL,, through its captive insurance subsidiary MVIC,Miami Valley Insurance Company (MVIC), has an actuarial calculated reserve for environmental matters.   We evaluate the potential liability related to probable losses quarterly and may revise our estimates.  Such revisions in the estimates of the potential liabilities could have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

DP&L’s coal-fired units are subjectIn addition to the acid rain provisionsrequirements related to emissions of the Clean Air Actsulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and mercury noted above, there is a growing concern nationally and internationally about global climate change and the NOx and Ozone Transport rule.   Allcontribution of emissions of greenhouse gases, including most significantly, carbon dioxide.  This concern has led to increased interest in legislation at the SO2 and NOx federal level, actions at the state level, as well as litigation relating to greenhouse gas emissions, data submittedincluding a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision holding that the EPA has the authority to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from motor vehicles under the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), pursuant to these provisions,CAA.  Increased pressure for 2005carbon dioxide emissions reduction also is coming from investor organizations and the first quarterinternational community.  If legislation or regulations are passed at the federal or state levels imposing mandatory reductions of 2006 were recordedcarbon dioxide and reported in compliance with USEPA regulations.  Subsequently,other greenhouse gases on generation facilities, the cost to DPL and DP&L detected a malfunction with its emission monitoring system at one of its generation stations and ultimately determined its SO2such reductions could be significant. and NOx emissions data were under reported.  DP&L has petitioned the USEPA to accept an alternative methodology for calculating actual emissions for 2005 and the first quarter of 2006.  DP&L has sufficient allowances in its general account to cover the understatement and is working with the USEPA 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.

Environmental Regulation and Litigation Related to Air Quality

Regulation Proceedings – Air

On July 15, 2003, the Ohio EPA submitted to the USEPA its recommendations for eight-hour ozone non-attainment boundaries for the metropolitan areas within Ohio.  On April 15, 2004, the USEPA issued its list of ozone non-attainment designations.  DP&L owns and/or operates a number of facilities in counties designated as non-attainment with the ozone national ambient air quality standard.  DP&L does not know at this time what future regulations may be imposed on its facilities and will closely monitor the regulatory process.  Ohio EPA will develop regulations to attain and maintain compliance with the eight-hour ozone national ambient air quality40



 


standard.  Numerous parties have filed petitions for review.  DP&L cannot predict the outcome of USEPA’s reconsideration petitions.

In February 2007, the Ohio EPA, Regional Air Pollution Control Agency, issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) to DP&L with respect to an allegedly failed performance test in November 2006 for particulate matter at DP&L’s Hutchings Station.  The EPA requested additional data, proposed that a retest be made of two boilers at Hutchings Station and noted that any decision to seek penalties would be made at another time.  DP&L has responded to the NOV noting that a retest taken in December 2006 demonstrated that the November results were not representative of normal operations and proposing that all boilers at Hutchings Station be tested again in June 2007. We believed any penalties assessed related to this matter will be immaterial to our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Environmental Regulation and Litigation Related to Water Quality

On July 9, 2004, the USEPA issued final rules pursuant to the Clean Water Act governing existing facilities that have cooling water intake structures.  The rules require an assessment of impingement and/or entrainment of organisms as a result of cooling water withdrawal.  A number of parties appealed the rules to the Federal Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York and the Court issued an opinion on January 25, 2007 remanding several aspects of the rule to USEPA for reconsideration.  On March 20, 2007, USEPA issued a memorandum regarding the agency’s implementation of this opinion stating that, because so many provisions of the rules had been remedied, the rule should be suspended.  We are undertaking studies at two facilities but cannot predict the impact such studies may have on future operations, the outcome of the remanded rulemaking or how Ohio EPA will implement the USEPA memorandum.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

As more fully discussed in later sections of this Form 10-Q, the following were the significant themes and events for the first quarterthree months and nine months ended September 30, 2007:

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, DPL’s basic and diluted EPS of 2007:$0.56 and $0.53, respectively, increased over the basic and dilutive EPS for the same period of the prior year by $0.09 and $0.10, respectively.

                  DPL’s revenues for the three months and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2007 increased 11%8% and 10%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006 primarily due to weather driven retail sales volume, increase in average retail rates and the revenue realized from the PJM capacity auctions.  DPL’s purchased power costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased$21.0 million and $94.1 million, respectively, over the same periodperiods in 2006.

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 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased 8% and 10%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006 mainlyprimarily due to colder weather driven retail sales volume, increase in average retail rates and the rate stabilization surcharge and other regulated asset recovery riders, which began inrevenue realized from the first quarter of 2006, improving gross margin and profitability.PJM capacity auctions.  DPL’sDP&L’s fuel, purchased power costs for the three and operationnine months ended September 30, 2007 increased $21.0 million and maintenance increased$93.5 million, respectively, over the first quarter of 2006 by $6.1 million, $26.9 million and $6.9 million, respectively. The increasesame periods in purchase power volume was primarily the result of2006.

                  DPLDP&L’s and partner operated generating facilities being unavailable due to planned and unplanned outages.  In addition, we purchase power when market prices are below the marginal costs associated with our higher cost generating facilities.  DPL’s cash flows from operations for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2007 of $97.1$239.6 million was 6% higher than the cash flows from operations of $91.6 million for the same period of 2006.

·DP&L’s revenues for the first quarter of 2007 increasedwere 11% over the first quarter of 2006 resulting from the colder weather, rate stabilization surcharge and other regulated asset recovery riders which began in the first quarter of 2006 improving gross margin and profitability.  DP&L’s fuel, purchased power costs, and operation and maintenance increased over the first quarter of 2006 by $5.6 million, $27.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively. The increase in purchase power volume was primarily the result of DP&L and Partner operated generating facilities being unavailable due to planned and unplanned outages.  In addition, we purchase power when market prices are below the marginal costs associated with our higher cost generating facilities.  DP&L’s cash flows from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 of $137.0 million was 5% lower than the cash flows from operations of $143.5$270.7 million for the same period in 2006.

·On February 26, 2007, DP&L borrowed $65 million against the $220 million unsecured revolving credit facility.2006 primarily due to changes in working capital.

DPL Inc. – Revenues

Retail customers, especially residential and commercial customers, consume more electricity on warmer and colder days. Therefore, DPL’s retail sales volume is impacted by the number of heating and cooling degree days occurring during a 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.

DPL Inc. – Amortization of Regulatory Assets

For the first quarter ofnine months ended September 30, 2007, amortization of regulatory assets increased $1.8 million to $2.9$3.1 million, compared to the same period in 2006.  The increase reflects the amortization of costs incurred to accommodate unbundled rates and electric choice bills in the customer billing system; the amortization of PJM administrative fees deferred2006, primarily for the period October 2004 through January 2006; and the amortization of incremental 2004/2005 severe storm costs.costs that began on August 1, 2006.

DPL — Net Gain on Settlement of Executive Litigation

On May 21, 2007, we settled the litigation with the three former executives.  In exchange for a payment of $25 million, the three former executives relinquished and dismissed all of their claims including those related to deferred compensation, 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.

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

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

For the first quarter ofthree months ended September 30, 2007, gross margin of $235.3$240.3 million increased $5.7$11.6 million, or 2%5%, from $229.6$228.7 million induring the first quartersame period of 2006.  As a percentage of total revenues, gross margin decreased to 62.3%57.3% in the third quarter of 2007 compared to 67.7%58.6% in the third quarter of 2006.  This result primarily reflects the increasing costs of fuel and purchased power despite the favorable impact on revenues of the Rate Stabilization Plan surcharge.increase in retail revenues and lower fuel costs, offset by increased purchased power costs.  Fuel costs, which include coal, natural gas, oil and emission allowance costs, increaseddecreased by $5.6$3.3 million, or 7%4%, in the firstthird quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 primarily due to increasedlower average fuel prices, and higherpartially offset by a 1% increase in generation output.  Purchased power increased $27.1$21.0 million in the firstthird quarter of 2007, compared to the same period in 2006, primarily resulting from increased charges of $22.5a $17.2 million relatingincrease due to higher purchased power volumes and a price variance of $4.4 million reflecting higher average market rates.rates and $12.2 million related to RTO ancillary charges for PJM capacity charges, partially offset by a decrease of $8.2 million related to a 14% decrease in purchased power volume.  The increasedecrease in purchasepurchased power volume was primarily the result of DP&Lincreased production at our 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.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, gross margin of $670.7 million increased $20.3 million, or 3%, from $650.4 million during the same period of 2006.  As a percentage of total revenues, gross margin decreased to 58.9% in 2007 compared to 62.8% in 2006.  This result primarily reflects the favorable impact of both retail and wholesale revenues discussed above and lower fuel costs offset by increased purchased power costs.  Fuel costs, which include coal, natural gas, oil and emission allowance costs, decreased by $10.8 million, or 4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006, primarily due to a 4% decrease in generation output and a decrease in average fuel prices.  Purchased power costs increased $93.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006, reflecting $62.6 million of increased charges related to higher purchased power volume, a $13.8 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 unavailableless available compared to the prior year due to planned and unplanned outages.  In addition, we purchase power when market prices are below the marginal costs associated with our higher cost generating facilities.  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.

For the three monthsquarter ended March 31,September 30, 2007, operation and maintenance expense increased $5.2$5.0 million, or 10%8%, compared to the same period in 2006 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 $3.7 million decrease in pension expense resulting primarily from a $1.1 million 2007 actuarial study adjustment and the recognition of $2.6 million increasein 2006 for a lump sum distribution to a former officer.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, operation and maintenance expense increased $23.0 million, or 13%, compared to the prior year.  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 of restricted stock units; a $2.4 million increase in power production costs primarily reflecting higher boiler maintenance and plant operating expenses; a $1.9 million increase in service operation costs resulting primarily from two major ice storms in February 2007; a $0.9 million increase in legal fees and Low-Income Assistance Program costs of $0.7 million.related to deferred compensation assets.  These

DP&L — Net Gain on Settlement of Executive Litigation

On May 21, 2007, we settled the litigation with the three former executives.  In exchange for a payment of $25 million, the three former executives relinquished and dismissed all of their claims including those related to deferred compensation, RSUs, MVE incentives, stock options and legal fees.  As a result of this settlement, during the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, DP&L realized a net pre-tax gain in continuing operations of $35.3 million.  See Note 10 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

DP&L – Other Income (deductions)

For the three months ended March 31, 2007, other income (deductions) was $1.3 million higher than the same period in 2006 primarily due to gains of $0.7 million realized in the first quarter of 2007 from the sale of NOx allowances and $0.3 million of greater gains realized in 2007 compared to 2006 related to derivative activity.  There were no sales of pollution control emission allowances during 2006.

DPL and DP&L have obligations to make future payments for capital expenditures, debt agreements, lease agreements and other long-term purchase obligations, andobligations. We also have certain contingent commitments such as guarantees. We believe our cash flows from operations, the credit facilities (existing or future arrangements), the senior notes and other short- and long-term debt financing will be sufficient to satisfy our future working capital, capital expenditures and other financing requirements for the foreseeable future. Our ability to generate positive cash flows from operations is dependent on general economic conditions, competitive pressures and


other business and risk factors described in Item 1a of our fiscal 2006 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1a, of this Form 10-Q. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, or otherwise comply with the terms of our credit facilities, the senior notes and other long-term debt, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or seek additional financing alternatives. A discussion of each of our critical liquidity commitments is outlined below.

Capital Requirements

DPL’s construction additions were $78.9$275.4 million and $94.8$260.0 million infor the first quarter ofnine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and are expected to approximate $345$360 million in 2007.

DP&L’s construction additions were $78.0$273.5 million and $94.4$258.2 million infor the first quarter ofnine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and are expected to approximate $345$360 million in 2007.

Planned construction additions for 2007 relate to DP&L’s environmental compliance program, power plant equipment and its transmission and distribution system.

Capital projects are subject to continuingcontinuous review and are revised in light of changes in financial and economic conditions, load forecasts, legislative and regulatory developments and changing environmental standards, among other factors.  Overstandards. For the next three years,remainder of 2007, 2008 and 2009, DPL, through its subsidiary DP&L, is projecting to spend an estimated $645$705 million in capital projects, approximately 40% of which isare to meet changing environmental standards. In our Form 10-K10-Q, as of December 31, 2006,June 30, 2007, we reported our estimated capital spending to be approximately $605$675 million. This increase is due primarily to increases in the flue gas desulfurizationcapital projects at both DPL-operated and partner-operatedDPL operated generating plants. Our ability to complete capital projects and the reliability of future service will be affected by our financial condition, the availability of internal funds and the reasonable cost of external funds. We expect to finance our construction additions in 2007 with a combination of cash on hand, short-term financing, tax-exempt debt and cash flows from operations.

Debt and Debt Covenants

On August 29, 2005, DPL redeemed $200 million of its 8.25% Senior Notes due 2007.  The remaining $225 million of these notes were retired March 1, 2007, the maturity date.

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.   On September 13, 2006, is considering issuing in conjunction with 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.  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 expects to use the remaining $100 million of volume cap carryforward prior to the end of 2008.  DP&L is planning to issue in conjunction with the OAQDA this $100 millionanother series of tax-exempt bonds to finance the remaining solid waste disposal facilitiesfacility costs at Miami Fort, Killen, Stuart and Conesville Generating Stations.generating stations.

On November 21, 2006, DP&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 that provides DP&L with the ability to increase the size of the facility by an additional $50 million at any time. The facility contains one financial covenant: DP&L’s total debt to total capitalization ratio is not to exceed 0.65 to 1.00. This covenant is currently met. As of March 31,September 30, 2007, DP&L has borrowed $65 million fromhad no outstanding borrowings under this facility for ninety-two days at 5.63%.facility. Fees associated with this credit facility are approximately $0.2 million per year.  Changesyear, however, changes in credit ratings however, may affect fees and the applicable interest.interest rate. This revolving credit agreement also contains a $50 million letter of credit sublimit. As of September 30, 2007, DP&L had no outstanding letters of credit against the facility. DP&L has certain contractual agreements for the sale and purchase of power, fuel and related energy services that contain credit rating related clauses allowing the counter parties to seek additional surety under certain conditions.  As of March 31, 2007, DP&L had no outstanding letters of credit against the facility.

On February 24, 2005, DP&L entered into an amendment to extend the term of its Master Letter of Credit Agreement with a financial lending institution for one year and to reduce the maximum dollar volume of letters of credit to $10 million.  On February 17, 2006, DP&L renewed its $10 million agreement for one year.  This agreement supports performance assurance needs in the ordinary course of business.  In February 2007, DP&L opted not to renew this agreement.

Issuance of additional amounts of first mortgage bonds by DP&L is limited by the provisions of its mortgage; however,mortgage. However, management believes that DP&L continues to have sufficient capacity to issue first mortgage bonds to


satisfy its requirements in connection with its current refinancing and construction programs. The amounts and timing of future financings will depend upon market and other conditions, rate increases, levels of sales and construction plans.

During the second quarter of 2007, DPL entered into a short-term loan to DP&L for $105 million. DP&L paid down $15 million of this loan during the third quarter, leaving a current outstanding loan balance of $90 million. This short-term loan does not affect our debt covenants. There are no other inter-company debt collateralizations or debt guarantees between DPL, DP&L and itstheir subsidiaries. None of the debt obligations of DPL or DP&L are guaranteed or secured by affiliates and no cross-collateralization exists between any subsidiaries.

Capital leases:lease:

As of March 31,September 30, 2007, DP&L had twoa capital leaseslease that expireexpires in November 2007 and September 2010.

Operating leases:

As of March 31,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 wayright-of-way agreements that are assumed to have no definite expiration dates.

Limestone contracts:

DP&L has entered into various limestone contractsa 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 unrecognized tax benefits are due to uncertainty in the timing of deductibility.

Other Contractual Obligation:contractual obligations:

As of March 31,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 March 31,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 yearfive-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 March 31,September 30, 2007, there was $65 millionwere no outstanding borrowings under this credit agreement due May 29, 2007 at 5.63% interest.facility.

Guarantees:

DP&L owns a 4.9% equity ownership interest in an electric generation company. As of March 31,September 30, 2007, DP&L could be responsible for the repayment of 4.9%, or $21.8$34.1 million, of a $445$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, DPL Energy, LLC (DPLE)DPLE, regarding the pending 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:

MARKET RISK

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

Commodity Pricing Risk

Approximately 15%12% of DPL’s and 24%22% of DP&L’s first quarter of 2007 electric revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were from sales of excess energy and capacity in the wholesale market. Energy and capacity in excess of the needs of existing retail customers are sold on the wholesale market when we can identify opportunities with positive margins. As of March 31,September 30, 2007, a hypothetical increase or decrease of 10% in DPL’s annual wholesale revenues could result in approximately a $14.0$12 million increase or decrease to annual net income, assuming no increases or decreases in fuel and purchased power costs. As of March 31,September 30, 2007, a hypothetical increase or decrease of 10% in DP&L’s annual wholesale revenues could result in approximately a $23.0$21 million increase or decrease to annual net income, assuming no increases or decreases in fuel and purchased power costs.

DPL’s fuel (including coal, natural gas, oil and emission allowances) and purchased power costs as a percent of total operating costs in the first quarter ofnine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were 52%54% and 46%49%, respectively. DP&L’s fuel (including coal, natural gas, oil and emission allowances) and purchased power costs as a percent of total operating costs was 54%were 55% and 49%52% in the first quarter ofnine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We have substantially all of the total expected coal volume needed to meet our retail and firm wholesale sales requirements for 2007 under contract. The majority of our contracted coal is purchased at fixed prices. Some contracts provide for periodic adjustment and some are priced based on market indices. Substantially all contracts have features that limit price escalations in any given year. Our consumption of SO2allowances should decline in 2007 due to planned emission control upgrades. We do not expect to purchase SO2allowances for 2007. The exact consumption of SO2allowances will depend on market prices for power, availability of our generation units, the timing of emission 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. Based on weather normalized sales and our co-owners’ projections, fuelFuel costs are forecasted to be flat in 2007 compared to 2006.

Purchased power costs depend, in part, upon the timing and extent of planned and unplanned outages of our generating capacity. We will purchase power on a discretionary basis when wholesale market conditions provide opportunities to obtain power at a cost below our internal production costs. As of March 31,September 30, 2007, a hypothetical increase or decrease of 10% in DPL’s annual fuel and purchased power costs could result in approximately a $33.0$34 million increasedecrease or decreaseincrease to annual net income, assuming no increaseincreases or decreases in salesales revenues. As of March 31,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 $34.0$35 million increasedecrease or decreaseincrease to annual net income, assuming no increaseincreases or decreases in salesales revenues.

Interest Rate Risk

As a result of our normal borrowing and leasing activities, our results are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, which we manage through our regular financing activities. We maintain both cash on deposit and investments in cash equivalents that may be affected by adverse interest rate fluctuations. Our long-term debt represents publicly and privately held secured and unsecured notes and debentures with fixed interest rates. At March 31,September 30, 2007, we had $65 million in short-termno outstanding borrowings at 5.63% against the $220 million unsecuredunder our revolving credit agreement.facility.

The carrying value of DPL’s debt was $1,552.7$1,552.3 million at March 31,September 30, 2007, consisting of DP&L’s first mortgage bonds, DP&L’s tax-exempt pollution control bonds, our unsecured notes and DP&L’s capital leases.lease. The fair value of this debt was $1,592.1$1,564.8 million, based on current market prices or discounted cash flows using current rates for similar issues with similar terms and remaining maturities. The principal cash repayments and related weighted average interest rates by maturity date for long-term, fixed-rate debt at March 31,September 30, 2007, are as follows:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

DPL’s and DP&L’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In connection with the preparation of these financial statements, our management is required to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the related disclosure of contingent liabilities. These assumptions, estimates and judgments are based on our historical experience and assumptions that we believed to be reasonable at the time. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Our critical accounting estimates are those which require assumptions to be made about matters that are highly uncertain.

Different estimates could have a material effect on our financial results. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of these policies and estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or circumstances. Significant items subject to such judgments include: the carrying value of property, plant and equipment; unbilled revenues; the valuation of insurance and claims costs; valuation allowances for receivables and deferred income taxes; the valuation of reserves related to current litigation;litigation and assets and liabilities related to employee benefits. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Refer to our 2006 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for a complete listing of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

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


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

See the “Market Risk” section of Item 2.


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures.  These controls and procedures were designed to ensure that material information relating to us and our subsidiaries is communicated to the CEO and CFO.  We evaluated these disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report with the participation of our CEO and CFO.  Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective: (i) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that


we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed quarter ended March 31,September 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over reporting.

PART II


 

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, we are subject to various lawsuits, actions, proceedings, claims and other matters asserted under laws and regulations.  We believe the 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 proceedings, claims 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 March 31,September 30, 2007, cannot be reasonably determined.

Certain legal proceedings in which we are involved are discussed in Part I, Item 1-Environmental1—Environmental Considerations, Item 1-Competition1—Competition and Regulation, Item 3 and Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included therein of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.  The following discussion is limited to recent developments concerning our legal proceedings and should be read in conjunction with thisthe earlier report.

Former Executive Litigation

Cumulatively through March 31, 2007, we have accrued for accounting purposes, obligations of approximately $61 million to reflect claims made by three former executives regarding deferred compensation, estimated MVE incentives and/or legal fees that the former executives assert are payable per contracts.  We dispute the former executives’ entitlement to any of those sums and any other sums the former executives assert are due to them and, as noted above, we are pursuing litigation against them contesting all such claims.

Environmental

In September 2004, the Sierra Club filed a lawsuit against DP&L and the other owners of the Stuart Generating Station in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio for alleged violations of the CAAClean Air Act (CAA) and the Station’s operating permit.  DP&L, on behalf of all co-owners, is leading the defense of this matter.  A sizable amount of discovery has taken place, and expert reports have been filed by both parties and depositions of experts are scheduledexpected to be filed at various times from May through September,occur in the fourth quarter of 2007.  Dispositive motions are to be filed in January 2008.  No trial date has been set yet.

On April 2, 2007,set.  DP&L is unable to determine the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously overturned the rulings of two lower courts and concluded that the Clean Air Act’s (CAA) New Source Review (NSR) requirements are triggered when a major physical or operational change at a facility results in an increase in the facility’s annual emissions (Environmental Defense et al, v. Duke Energy Corp. et al.).  The outcomeimpact of this case is significant to DP&Llawsuit, if any, on its overall results of operations, financial position or cash flows.


because it eliminates one of DP&L’s major arguments in the lawsuit filed against it by the Sierra Club.  The Court decided that an annual rate of emissions could be used to determine if major modifications have been made to a plant as opposed to an hourly emission rate as Duke had argued.  Using the annual rate makes it more likely that most plant modifications will be found to be “major” modifications, thus requiring EPA permits.  DP&L can still defend against the allegations of NSR violations if it can establish that the activities at issue did not cause total annual emissions to increase or that the projects that resulted in increased emissions were undertaken for routine maintenance, repair and replacement activities.


Item 1a Risk Factors

A 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference.  The Form 10-K may be obtained as discussed on Page 4,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 included in our 2006 Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2006 have been updated as follows:


Reliance on Third Parties

We rely on many third party suppliers and contractors in our 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 provide professional services, such as, but not limited to, actuarial calculations, internal audit services, payroll processing and various consulting services.

Employees

Approximately 53% of our employees are under a collective bargaining agreement.  If we are unable to negotiate future collective bargaining agreements, we could experience work stoppages which may affect our business and operating results.
