E[acute accent]Construction additions were $180 million and $98 million in 2005 and 2004 respectively.

E[acute accent]Fourth Quarter

E[acute accent]For the quarter ending December 31, 2005, DPL reported earnings per share of $0.44 compared to $0.23 earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2004. The earnings increase was due primarily to a $26.5 million increase in revenues from higher retail sales volume and increased wholesale rates, a $16.5 million decrease in operations and maintenance (for items previously described), and a $12.9 million decrease in interest expense, offset by a $13.0 million increase in fuel and purchased power.

E[acute accent]2006 and 2007 Outlook

E[acute accent]Basic Earnings - DPL forecasts basic earnings per share in the range of $1.35 to $1.50 for 2006 and $1.65 to $1.80 for 2007, based on estimated basic shares outstanding of 112 million in 2006 and 107 million in 2007. The estimates include the effect of completion of DPL's $400 million stock buyback program over the course of 2006.
Revenues are expected to increase 3% in 2006 over 2005 and 5% in
     2007 over 2006, and assumes little to no customer switching.
     Revenue forecasts are based on weather normalized sales and the
     inclusion of forecasted amounts related to the recovery of
     regulatory approved costs.

     Fuel costs are impacted by changes in volume and price and are
     driven by a number of variables including weather, coal
     deliveries, and generation plant mix. Based on weather normalized
     sales, fuel costs are forecasted to be flat in 2006 compared to
     2005 and are forecasted to increase approximately 5% in 2007
     compared to 2006. This forecast assumes coal prices will increase
     approximately 10% in 2006 as compared to 2005 and remain flat in
     2007 as compared to 2006.

     DPL's total system forecasted coal requirements are approximately
     95% hedged for 2006 and approximately 75% hedged for 2007.

     Operation and maintenance costs are expected to increase
     approximately 15% in 2006 compared to 2005 and approximately 3%
     in 2007 compared to 2006, excluding expenses with comparable
     revenue recovery from approved regulatory orders. Of the 15%
     increase in 2006, approximately 85% is due to increases in
     generation production costs, self-insurance reserves, and
     litigation costs. Litigation costs are forecasted to increase due
     to an expected greater pace of legal activities related to
     litigation with former officers of the Company.
